Thunder(bolt) and Lightning In SoWesPac

 

-P-47D-20 Thunderbolt & P-38F Lightning in the Pacific-

-- Something for the PTO players --

 

= For SF2, Full-4/5 Merged (Reccomended/Preferred) =

*There is a possibility that this mod will =NOT= work in SF/Wo* 1stGen game installs, due to the excessive modifications made to fit them into the SF2 environment.*

 

Mods/reskins/redcals for 2 of Wolf257's WW2 aircaft. This package contains BOTH full, complete aircraft:

 

P-47D-20 (Razorback) Thunderbolt, with 2 skins:

348th FG, originally by Major Lee (with some new decals by me), circa 1943-ish

39th FS, 35th FG circa 1944/45 in the Phillipines

"Generic" P-38F Lightning for late 42-43 (pre-red outline starbar)

 

All skins are in jpg format, Decal Randomization is TRUE. Both get new SF2 versions of the original 'box art' hangar screens. DDS damage textures for the Jug; the old tga version are still used on the Lightning. Destroyed models are included for both (taken from the WW2 terrains).

 

Stary's WW2 late 1 cockpit is included for the Jug. The P-38 uses it's original Wolf pit.

Both have semi-compliant SF2 Flight Models, but they do need further fine tuning by experts. All lighting on both aircraft is 100% historically correct.

 

As always, fairly easy to follow, highly detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them. Also, give the "Notes" section a read too. Major Lee's original readme for the 348th skin is included for historical purposes

 

Happy Hunting!

need... to build... WW2... install

[Wrench 9,843]

build it with SF2NA as teh base exe ... I've got very nice working carrier stations for Okinawa (now, we just need working WW2 carriers...)

[+Stary 2,427]

will do

there are quite a few of them now.

 

I do have a WWII install but am using modified terrains. Are there some good WWII terrains that are working in SF2NA?

 

These planes work great by the way!!

umm... all of them???

mind you, only 3 would really need the navalmap specific _water.bmp

 

Okinawa (done)

Phillipines (but the entire map needs overhauling/rebuilding/retargeting/retiling)

Central Pac (aka: Marianas)

 

not counting the Midway, Hawaii and Solomons, ww2 Darwin

Solomons: no IJN carriers; US carrier station, historically, is too close to the wall

Midway -- f***s Midway's MAGs completely

Hawaii - would need to plot the Carrier Striking Force location -which is quite easy- but adding the stations for Enterprise and Lex, - again - screws MAGs from their land bases. And the Ford Island airstrip is hosed ... so do this, if you have the Hawaii terrain:

Darwin would only need 1 enemy station, and only for 1 week, so that's not really feasable

 

Fix for Ford Island, on my Hawaii map:

 

 

[TargetArea002]

Name=NAS Ford Island

Position=421393,421565

Radius=2000

ActiveYear=0

Location=1

Alignment=FRIENDLY

//AirfieldDataFile=airfield_SLB kurz.ini

//NumSquadrons=1

CarrierStation=FALSE

Target[001].Type=FordIsland

 

comment out the airbase statements. I probably can't fix this!

all the other terrains work as good as they've always done. (with the approritate SF2 edits to the data inis)
