Hawk 75 ML-KNIL (NEI)

Hawk 75A-C7, ML-KNIL for SF/WoV/WoE, WW2 PTO installs , Version 2.0 Original Releae Date: 9/24/07

 

** UPDATED 1/11/08: this new update corrects the markings on the upper wings (removing them), and fixes some other small issues. This package is designed to totally REPLACE the original from 2007**

 

This is a modification of Wolf257's P-36/Mohawk into the Hawk 75 export version, as used by several Allied nations.

 

It represents aircraft from the ML-KNIL during the opening days of the War in the Pacific, in the defense of the Netherlands East Indies (Java and Sumatra, for those that don't know)

 

This creates a country specific version for use in your World War 2: PTO installs ONLY!! As such, all the loadout have been adjusted to fit KLU aircraft of the time (ie: by being lazy and using the exisiting RAF bombs <wink>).

 

Everything is included; all the inis, cockpit files, new hangar and loading screens (both available ONLY in this mod) and my damage tgas as well. The LOD file is the newer one, as used on the French Hawk 75 and the recenty released USAAC P-36A Update Pak.

 

I've also adjusted the operational years; they historically were all destroyed by February, 1942, but as we can't add months yet, you get the whole year (1942 that is).

 

For this update, I left the hangar screen alone, even though it has the improper upper wing marking still present. Looks a bit nicer; rest assured, the actual in-game version IS correct!

 

= IMPORTANT: This aircraft is designed for use in SF/WoV/WoE -ONLY-, It has =NOT= been tested it in post 8/28/08 patch WoI, nor post 9/08 - 10/08 patch SF/WoV/WoE. You use it in these enviroments at YOUR own risk. =

 

=This mod is designed for use with the Bunyap Weapons Pak of 6/06, as it contains all the needed weapons . If attempting to use this aircraft with any other weapons pak, you'll need to add ALL the WW2 era bombs, torpedoes, etc. They are NOT included in this package.=

 

Please read the enclosed readme, it has full install instructions, and other notes of interest.

 

Happy Landings!

note, 1/11/09: what with all the new data I've been assimilating lately on this region and time period, I figgured this needed an Upgrade. I left the original screenie up, as it's a nice action shot!!

Hello Kevin,

 

Just a small edition that does make a difference though: the KNIL Hawk A7 had an 1200 hp Wright Cyclone

GR-1820 etc etc etc so the SL power can be adjusted from 775840 to 894840 i.e. an almost 20% increase

in power.......

Thanks again for creating this little beauty,

 

Aju,

Thank Derk!

 

I don't know enough about the conversions to the engine/flight models, etc to mess with that. (hardpoints is easy!)

But....

 

with the lower powered engines, wouldn't that simulate the badly overhauled, worn out ex-DC-2 motors they wound up using???

 

 

Just a thought!

Nice thought Kevin, gonna look it up in the aviation megastore not far from my office.

Could only find it mentioned once on internet, but the question is that everything flying, including DC2 and DC 3 's were in full use in those hectic days, bringing people out to Australia (many hair raising stories, including the Broome disaster......) so I wonder if there were any spare engines at all ........

 

Aju,

Between me and Veltro...you got a point!

 

We should start our own group "Unemployed Modders Group" our motto would be "We Ain't Got Nothing Else to Do With Our Time"

 

(except I need to finish repainting the bathroom....and got damn jury duty this week. Here is California, or at least Los Angeles, we're "on call" the whole week, and have to check/call in every evening to see if we have to report the following morning. It sucks...)
