About This File
F4U-1 "Corsair" Birdcage mod for SF/WoV/WoE WW2 PTO installs
This package is a simple mod to the existing F4U-1 created by Wolf257. It will create a NEW aircraft, a 'stand in' F4U-1 'Birdcage' Corsair. You will also be making changes to your EXISTING F4U-1, with some simple file renaming to create the F4U-1A, which the aircraft really is. This will differentiate them from each other.
The package contains ONLY the necessary files to create the aircraft; various inis, etc, and a NEW skin from my enhanced template, representing VMF-124, the first American unit to take the Corsair into action in Feburary, 1943.
You MUST have Wolf's original F4U-1 to create the full aircraft from. The aircraft LOD (physical model) is NOT included!!! The cockpit folder IS included, as I made some changes in the 'viewed' wing, so rather than have the end users make a mistake with the 'wing.bmp', I choose to include the full folder. A "slightly" enhanced dash bmp is included, just for fun.
The damage tga and a NEW -only available in this mod- Birdcage Corsair Hangar screen are also included!
Full, detailed instructions are below in the "To Installate" section.
--YOU MUST HAVE THE BUNYAP WEAPONS PACK TO GET THE WW2 WEAPONS!! --
--- YOU MUST HAVE WOLF'S ORIGINAL F4U-1 INSTALLED FOR THE AIRCRAFT LOD!!! ---
This aircraft has been tested in SF/WoV/WoE and post-patch WoI (8/29/08). There still are some 'issues' with prop-plane flight models, but there has been a MARKED improvement!! You use it in WoI at YOUR own risk.
As mentioned above, there's (yet another!) detailed readme enclosed -- so I require you to read the thing!! Notes, explinations, blah, blah, etc, and so forth.
Good Luck, Good Hunting! and Happy Landings and all that sort of stuff..
