P-2H "Neptune" Skins/Decals and Ini Update Pak

 

-- For SF2, Any & All --

 

This is a mod of the original P-2H (P2V-7) released by Tracker and the Argentine Modders Group, incorporating some tweeks perfomred by ChampionsVA56

You do NOT need to original download, but if you want the COAN skins, you'll need it to add them.

 

All inis, lods, etc, and 3 new skin and decal sets are provided. The inis have been 'adjusted' back to original USN state, with a completely new UserList.ini, descripting the different countries that used this late-model Neptune. (NOTE: RAF is not listed, as they used only earlier models, with the gun turrets. Hopefully, I also got the users & years farily close, too)

 

Skins included in this set are:

 

VP-18 "Flying Phantoms", NAS Jacksonville as seen during the Cuban Missile Crisis

 

VP-65 "Tridents", NAS Point Magu, in the mid/late 1960s through the 1970s

 

VP-69 "Totems", NAS Whidbey Island, in the 1970s *

 

(* revamped version of pappychksix's, now with decals)

 

All new decals are included, many with historically matching BuNums-to-Modex numbers (wherever possible, and the information was discoverable). The Basic Skins ™ for the USN Gull Gray/White and Seaplane Gray and White, can be used for many other countries, simply by creating new skin folders, copying the relevant files, and creating new textureset and decals inis that reference the proper markings and nationality.

 

A new weapon is included; the Mk.44 lightweight torpedo (note: it needs a new lod, as it's using the Mk.13 which is too long, but it works just fine!!). Loadouts have been corrected, with some reengineering of mounting points. Not perfect, but very workable.

Other ini edits use Champ's landing gear & light fix, and I've replaced the pilot figures with the stock 'Prop_Pilot' with the baseball cap. The engine sound has also been replaced, and supplied. It's not what I consider a perfect match, but it's seems what should be farily close.

 

As always, =READ= the enclosed readme for full, detailed instructions. This package has been broken down into the various folders that SF2 needs, to make it a LOT easier to install.

 

Warning Note: If installing fresh, do not use the original download;s inis, use these =ONLY=!!! If/when installing the COAN skins, use =ONLY= the skins, and nothing else!! You will mess things up severly, and have to start completly over.

 

Happy Landings!

Wow!

 

The VP-18 skin is rather a nice base skin for a Dutch Neptune,

if only I had the time and knowledge!

Anyway, good work mate!

Glad you like it!

you'd just need serial number decals, and edit the decals ini to remove the Tlet and Num decals from the rightupper and leftlower wings, replacing them with the KONMarine roundel. One of the advantages of using decals for markings; allows for easier creation of other squadrons or countries.

 

the SeaplaneGray/White would also be good for early JMSDF Neptunes, too (in case one needs to serch for Godzilla!)

Very good add-on and useful plane (most in Vietnam)

Beautiful skin work Kevin!
