[+Dave 2,322]

Well fellas we knew it was coming. What do we need? What should we use?

 

 

[JediMaster 451]

We need a quality Bf109 to SF2-standards!

[+Stary 2,427]

Monty CZ is working on Avia S-199

[Silverbolt 104]

improvised airstripes ; the B-17 and the beech

[+Stary 2,427]

also Texans, Hurricanes, Matildas, Valentines, Cromwells...

What do we have already?

 

Texans and Harvards. Spits, Mossie's.....

 

Might have to do without the B-17 and the Beaufigther, as we dont have one. I want to try and put this together without have to outsource whole new models. Kind of an off the shelf mod and add to it later.

[+Monty CZ 209]

Ok it seems I have time to do something (3D,2D graphic,

or some basic ini work) then count me in.

So if somebody have list of "to do", you can send it to me.

...and JediMaster don´t call Avia S-199 a Bf-109 please :-)

Thank you Monty! You can't have an 1948 mod without the S-199.

That is still the A Team's property. We must respect that.

 

Monty

 

Want to build us a B-17?

[+DoctorQuest 125]

Understood. I was not sure of its status as it is available at CA.

 

Yes. The B-17 would be a very nice to have.

 

What about a publicly available Spit pit? (I'm still not clear on the status of this.....)

[+Dave 2,322]

I have Kess' spit pits just need to post them. (Needs readme etc etc etc)

Let me know if you need some help. I am working up some Spit vs. Spit missions just to see how they play out. Makes for some interesting A/C recognition problems.

[Silverbolt 104]

well, just my 2 cents...we could get some new textures for the Spit cockpit...since that's a whole new graphic level, never seen before in this series, i think that would be a good idea....perhaps the trooper could help with some good textures.

[+wilco 11]

I'm working on IDF skins for the Hudson and Catalina.

 

Since Slartibartfast mentioned the G.55: I think the REAF also used some Veltros, so, do we have one?

 

Edit:

 

Other available aircraft used by the REAF: Short Stirling & Handley Page Halifax.

Where are those at? I'm blind.

[+wilco 11]

They are under SF/WO* add-on aircraft - WW2 - Allied bombers.

 

[Wrench 9,848]

Most have been done over the last 5 years or since WoI made it's appearence.

There's a very old thread, in the archives someplace, with a complete lisiting of aircraft for the 1947-56 time frames

 

Dave: don't forget, I removed almost all my DAT mods from here, and they're only at my site (with a few exceptions).

 

At my site:

IDF Beaufighter, but most likely missing the LOD, as per DAT rules.

Mc-205, again DAT, but complete aircraft (unfortunately needs MAJOR dataini work for 08/SF2)

S-199 (stand in) -wolf's 109G10

 

others:

Meteor F.4 EAF (correct, 10 historical serials in arabic)

Meteor F.8 IDF and EAF

Meteor NF14 (incomplete) -all DAT birds

 

IDF mossie (pasko) here at CA

RJAF vampire (pasko) here at CA (both skins by allenjb, iirc)

Syran and EAF Texans by LloydNB

 

Fiat G-55 is being reworked by Veltro2k; I have to dial in the cockpit for him. Would need a new skin, and correct EAF arabic serials (probly only a few dozen) But historically, they arrived AFTER the WfI, and left service ~1952ish

 

all the others, excepting the Harvard, are basd off DAT aircraft. Like Dave said, their wishes/ruling MUST be respected.

 

My IDF Harvard skin needs major reworking, but nothing that should take too long. I can reuse the FM off the AT-6G 'Mosquito FAC' for Korea; works in the SF2 KAW mod, don't see why it won't work here!

 

Monty will be getting my 100% historcal "dalet -num-* serial decals for the Mule today. Yes, they ARE sequential, as should be any arab S/N too -- they were assigned as the aircrft arrived, in numberical sequence.

 

Research has been done by your's truely ... lets get started

Pm me any completed work you have on the Harvards/Texas/Vampires etc. please. So I can start building this thing.

[+allenjb42 4,234]

Dave, do you need any info on the Israeli AF's OOB in 1948?

[Wrench 9,848]

have to dail in the decals a bit; new IDF 48 skin, Harvard. Also have to edit the cockpit ini to remove the gun breeches and repaint the manufacturers tag

 

expect pm late today or tommorrow. Do you want the 56 skin fiddled with as well???

 

allen be the MAN for the OrBats and stuff!!

No I need an orbats. So if you got one I will take it.

 

Kevin

 

Looks outstanding. Send over anything you think we will need. The 56 skin would be a bonus.

[+guyran 13]

You also need DC-3 Dakota for both sides EAF and IAF.

The RAF was also involved in air fights at the 1948 WOI (War Of Independence), or WOL (War Of Liberation), against both sides.
