P-36A Skin & Ini Update Pak

Curtiss P-36A Mohawk Mod "Pearl Harbor Defenders"

 

This is a somewhat nearly complete overhaul of Wolf257's P-36 Mohawk, into a slightly more accurate version as used by the US Army Air Corps during 1941. (FM is the same -- just 'other' things modded)

 

This is a COMPLETE aircraft mod; everything is included, excepting the ORIGINAL P-36A.LOD. This mod make use of the modified LOD created for the French & ML-KNIL (NEI) Hawk 75A mod I did a some time ago. 2 completely new skins and decal sets are included representing:

 

46th Pursuit Squadron, 15th Pursuit Group, Wheeler Field, HI (Natural Metal)

47th Pursuit Squadron, 15 Pursuit Group, Haleiwa Field, HI (OD/Neutral Gray

 

as seen on the morning of 7 December, 1941.

 

The cockpit ini has been modified to use my 'ring-and-bead' sight tga, a damage tga and Hangar & Loading Screens are provided.

 

The data ini has been modified via the 'removing components' trick to delete the wing machine guns, as these were not used on USAAC aircraft. They are also 'inily' removed. Some liberties have been taken on the 2 remaining MGs; historically these aircraft were being used as trainers and squadron hacks, as the 15th PG was transitioning to P-40Cs, and only had a single 30 cal left in the nose. I've chosen to leave the 2 50 cals in place for playability, as this gives you a slightly better chance of knocking the enemy aircraft down. Those that wish to switch to the historically accurate 30s, I've supplied the needed data below in the "To Re-Create the Historical Gun Mountings" section. These aircraft carried no bombs or drop tanks, they were only armed with their twin MGs.

The lighting has been updated, with the addition of the formation, runnning and landing light; positions have been corrected and so forth.

 

As this mod is designed to -replace- the existing P-36A, backing up the Original Aircraft ™ in it's totality is HIGHLY reccomended!!! (Instructions below)

 

= 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, or 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.=

 

As usual, a highly detailed readme is included; it's HIGHLY suggested you read it...

See 'Credit & Sources' for a complete listing of, well, Credits & Sources!

 

Good Hunting, and Happy Landings!
