SF2 Independence Class CVL -Ver 2

View File

SF2 Independence Class CVL by YEYEYE

 

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

 

**** This is version 2.0, with fixed arrestor cables, and parking slots for the French ships. If you've downloaded the original, my apologies - You'll have to redownload, and when installing, just OVERWRITE the originals. ***

 

*Note: There is a distinct probability that this mod will =NOT= work properly in SF/Wo* 1stGen game installs. Due to data ini and other statements will =NOT= be in effect in 1stGen SF/Wo* at any patch level, it is NOT designed for use in SF/Wo*. It is designed for use in SF2NA, at the most CURRENT patch level. Your milage will vary!*

 

This pak contains the INDEPENDENCE class CVL (light carriers) of the US Navy during WW2

They are fully compliant with SF2NA, having been tested in that envoriment. Names lists, data ini tweeks add the SF2NA radar statments, and other small adjustments.

 

2 seperate, nationalized versions for the French Navy are also included (good for Suez and Indo-China with the recently re-released FN F4U-7 Corsairs and Hellcats).

 

PA La Fayette R96

PA Bois Belleau R97

 

All weapons (ok, the guns!) you should have already in you various mods folders, so they are NOT included.

BE ADVISED: if using these ships in the KAW mod -the USN Version- (and historically, only one was in Korean waters; USS Bataan), it will cause issues in game-generated single missions. I've detailed these in the "Notes" section below.

 

As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. So, please -READ- them. Also, give the "Notes" section a read too for futher explinations, clarifactions, illuminations and so forth.

 

NOTE: Do NOT use this version for the KAW Mod!! A seperate versiion, modded by paulo, will be relased ASAP.

 

Again, my apologies!

 

Happy Landings!

Wrench:

 

The arrestor cable spans have zero-width. X coordinates of the start and end positions are set to 0.0. Also, the Independence-CVL is missing the collision LOD.

ah, f*** me!

Considering what's been going on around here, I'm surprised I put anything in the zip!!

 

well, copy/paste it out of the LaFayette or Bois Belleau; it's the same one. As the other; didn't touch a thing.

 

maybe I should just delete it, and start over.

Here You are: Optionals.rar

 

Some small optional edits.

 

1) La Fayette & Bois Belleau with parked planes on deck.

I left USS independence class with original two rows take off lines and with all deck free in WWII style.

 

2) USS Bataan KAW install. Patch with edited Names.ini and number on deck (from original package)

 

From brother to brother.

Mine are based on trial / error so that is probably why they differ.

Wrench- I've just read your readme about having trouble with the spainish knox to use with Dedalo. In a previous discussion, it was found that the stock speed value was too low for it to be selected as a carrier escort-the game engine was selecting minimum fleet speeds above the top speed of the Knox. Hope this helps
