F4F-3 Wildcat Modification for SF/WoV/WoE Updated 12/16/08

 

---------------------------

NOTE: for some reason, this mod never made it to the CombatAce downloads, although it's been available at my site for some years. HOWEVER -- this is a revamped, more polished version with redone skins, all NEW decals and some more slight tweaks to the inis. If you have the earlier version, it's suggested you delete it, in it's entirety. A very odd thing for me to be saying! The F4F-3 Pak at my site will also be replaced with this newer, nicer one. For comparisons, I've left the original screenshot in, so you can see the difference between The Old and The New versions...

--------------------------

 

This is a mod of Pasko's F4F-4 into the earlier 4-gun, non-folding wing F4F-3 variant, that was in service at the opening of World War 2.

 

This package includes all the inis, various and sundry other bits, and newly revamped 2 skins & decal sets that represent:

 

VF-3 from USS Lexington and

VF-42 from USS Yorktown

 

as seen during the early months of the war (post Jan 1942, after the advent of the 6 position stars, and addition of rudder stripes, during the time of The Fast Carrier Raids), up to and including The Battle of the Coral Sea time frame.

 

This is an INCOMPLETE aircraft mod, as the aircraft LODs and cockpit folder are NOT included!! You will be transfering these critical files from the original F4F-4. New, modified inis ARE suppllied, including a new gunsight tga (and the necessary edits to the cockpit ini.) All lighting on the aircraft are correct; formation, landing and running lights, a seat added for the pilot to rest his ... ah...parachute on and some other very small changes.. A new engine and 'handcranked' landing gear sounds are also supplied, as in a F4F-3 Hangar Screen -only available in this mod!!! A new Pacific Ocean map is also included for the cockpit, as is a NEW pinup :) Damage tgas are here as well, for when you catch a little buckshot...

 

= 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.=

 

== THIS IS NOT A FULL AIRCRAFT - YOU _MUST_ HAVE THE ORIGINAL F4F-4 INSTALLED TO COPY FILES FROM ==

 

As to be expected, clear, conscise, step-by-step install instructions are in the enclosed readme -- so please READ it!!!

 

Good Hunting!
