Update 1.1 on 12/19/2013 for the V/W Class destroyer pack for World War II in SF2:NA and 5 full merged installs.

 

Changes.

 

1. Adjustments to the guns in all ship data files.

 

The AA Pom-Pom mounts on the "BritishLongRangeEscort" and the "BritishShortRangeEscort" have had their elevation and traverse rate adjusted to reflect RPC (Remote Power Control) on the mounts on these ships. The  

"VWClassDestroyer" representing early war ships does not have this update.

 

Slight changes made to all data files due the number 2.

 

2. Small adjustments and some additions have been made the the included guns.

 

3. Overhaul of the Mk VIII Torpedo based on advice from Fubar512.

 

4. The addition of "..._DATA_ALT.ini" data files as an optional alternative. These alternate data files represent improved effectiveness air defenses for the ships via some changes gunner data and alternative gun variants.

 

To use the alternate Data file just comment out the default "ObjectDataFile=" entry and uncomment the alternate entry in each ship types' main INI file.

 

All information in the original readme file that is not contradicted by this one still applies.

 

Installation: Same as in Original ReadME file. 

 

If you already have V1.0 of the pack then just allow this updated version to overwrite it.

 

Delete the "12pdr_20cwt_QF_HA2" from the "Guns" folder in the Mod folder that you have installed the V/W pack to. 

 

It has been replaced by the "12pdr_20cwt_QF_HA_H".

      Rio de la Plata terrain version 1.3
      *****************************************************
      ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
      This terrain is written for SF2NA and SF2E or SF2I.
      +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
      I. Short description:
      This terrain covers the Bay of the river Rio de la Plata. South of this bay we find Argentina, north of it Urugay and Brazil. East of it is the Atlantic Ocean.
      The timeframe of the terrain is from 1980 to 2020.
      It is made as a NavalMap with carrier vs carrier operations in mind.
      The scenario is, that in 1982, the Royal Navy answered the argentinian invasion on the Falkland islands with sending a Naval Task Force toward Buenos Aires and landing troops on the shores of Argentina.
      Thatswhy you find a big british beachhead on the map.
      You can fly following missions for the British and their allies, the Brazilians:
      SWEEP,CAP,ESCORT,INTERCEPT,STRIKE,SEAD,ANTI_SHIP,RECON,CAS,Armed_Recon
      For the Argentinians you can fly this missions:
      SWEEP,CAP,ESCORT,INTERCEPT,STRIKE,SEAD,ANTI_SHIP,CAS,RECON
      New in vesion 1.2:
      - number of target area increased from 37 to 47
      - all target areas are now fitted with objects. Factories, warehouses, commbuilding etc.
      - Airbase Tandil moved 75 km westward. It is not yet at the correct position. I fear, that if the base is placed at the correct position, the AI would not use it, because it is to far in the west.
      - At the former position of Tandil Airbase i placed a temporary aifield.
      - I added the river Rio Paradana and the neigbour rivers.
      - I relocated Montevideo and the Montevideo Airport. The airport is completly new made.
      - I reworked all rivermouth tiles, enlarged them to 1024x1024 pixel size.
      New in version 1.3
      - number of targetareas increades to 82
      - a lot of new factory target areas for Argentina
      - included uruguayan airbases
      - included static Cessna for airfield "population
      - included some goodies

      ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
      II. INSTALLATION:
      To run this terrain you need SF2NorthAtlantic and SF2 Israel or SF2 Europe.

      Unzip all files into your saved game folder ...ThirdWire\StrikeFighters2XXXX

      Thats it.

      If you have SF2Europe installed you must do nothing more.
      If you miss SF2E and have SF2Israel you must open file

      These manuals were one part of a training series put together by Jimmy Thach. There are various videos floating around the internet which match the titles of these manuals. Excellent stuff if you want to know how USN and USMC pilots flew and fought in the Pacific.
