Republic F-84B/C Thunderjet For SF/WoV/WoE and probably WoI

 

This little mod is a tweek to RussoUK's F-84E, with a new lod with the bubble-top non-reinforced canopy. It represents aircraft from the 59st FS, circa 1948.

 

Russo made the new lod for me several years ago, and this has been languishing on my HD for some time; I figured NOW would be a good time to finish it off and release to all you good folks!

 

The new skin, with redrawn panel lines (but no rivets - this was done before I learned how, and wasn't going back to add them!), Serial numbers are accurate, for B and C models. Squadron marking, the yellow color bands, are as close as I could match the few color photos I could find.

 

The auto-speed canopy has been disabled, as this no longer works in WoI (and by inference, when the SF/WoV/WoE patch arrives), but I somehow managed to fool the game engine by assigning it to the arrestor hook; so, the canopy will open when you hit the "H" key.

 

A new WoE-style hangar screen, and a new loading screen are also provided.

 

The loadouts are designed to work with the Bunyap Weapons Pak of 6/06, but can be used with the Mirage Facrtory Pak. I've suppllied the necessary lods, bmps, inis and instructions for adding the older, WW2 style weapons to the TMF Pak. Also, for both, there is an edited version of Zur's F-86 drop tank, for use with this aircraft. So, get your Weapons Editors warmed up. For whichever version you wish to use, you'll still need to add the fuel tank (see Notes below)

 

It should be noted this is 1of 2 Thunderjet mods I'm releasing; an Historic version, this one, and a "What If..." for WW2: 1946. They are designed to be mutualy exclusive, and are available as seperate aircraft downloads. This Historic version would be a perfect addition to a 'Cold War Gone Hot: 1948' scenario. As is the other for a hypothetical WW2 that runs into 1947, or later.

 

As usual, PLEASE read the enclosed readmes; it'll make your life just that much easier. Etc, and so forth; blah, blah, blah, and so on!

 

Happy Hunting!

You waited several years for bubble-top F-84 to release? Shame on you :yes:

BTW - Thx - please release some other "hidden" stuff like post War B-17.

 

Cheers

starfighter2: I sure did! I now express, for all to see, my very public THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!! There's a few there I don't have!

 

Look at the date of the F-84A.lod -- it's 2006!!

 

I"ll check with Capun bout the PB-1W; as it's a DAT product, and may have to be released through them. Hopefuly, I can get permission for a public release

 

Hope you all enjoy the T-Jets!!
