SF2 WW2 ETO Bristol Beaufighter Mk.1 series (Early), v.9 by Cocas 2/10/2014

 

-- Something for the WW2 ETO players --

 

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

 

*This mod will =NOT= work in SF/Wo* 1stGen game installs, at any patch level.

It was built for SF2 ONLY!! Also, some statements for anti-ship/naval strike

require having SF2NA as part of your merged install (meaning: your WW2 ETO mods

folder built from the SF2NA exe).*

*Note x2: This mod represents Beau Mk.1s for Northern Europe ONLY! Seperate

versions are in the works for MTO, PTO and CBI usage, as their start/end dates

tend to differ.*

 

These are BRAND NEW aircraft, brought to you by Cocas Aircraft Factory & Co.

This is the first of a set of Beaufighters. This package contains 3 aircraft,

representing the early production Beaufighters. These have the flat or no

dihedral horizontial stabs.

We are calling this "version 0.9", as there exists the possibility of more work

being required. But, we wanted to get them out into the hands of our WW2 End

Users ™ for their examination and so forth.

 

This pack contains the following aircraft & skin/decal sets:

 

Beaufighter Mk.1F (Day Fighter)

No. 25 Squadron

 

Beaufighter NF Mk.1 (Night Fighter)

No. 604 Squadron "County of Middlesex"

 

Beaufighter MK.1C (Coastal Command)

No 143 Squadron

No. 236 Squadron

 

Please note, on the 1C, you'll switch from the Standard Day Scheme (dark

green/light earth/sky) to the CC Sea Camo (MSG/DSG/sky) in 1942. The Squadron

Crest for each is used as the paint chip seen on the Loadout Screen.

Skins are in jpg format, as are the bump maps. Damage textures are in DDS.

Everything is included, excepting the guns (you should have all these already).

All markings are decals, and decal randomization is set to TRUE.

 

When in-game, you'll see:

 

Beaufighter Mk IF (Early) (CAF)

 

Beaufighter NF Mk.I (Early) (CAF)

 

Beaufighter Mk IC (CAF)

 

for the 3 aircraft. The "CAF" (for Cocas Aircraft Factory) will differentiate

these Beaus from any others you may or may not have.

 

As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are

included. So, please =READ= them!!!. Also, give the "Notes" section a read too.

 

Happy Hunting!

Un beau... fighter!

To make the roll rate more "real life", try changing these entries in the DATA.INI  to the following:

 

RollForHeadingRate=-0.05//yes, really!
MinRollHeading=15.0
MaxRollForHeading=35.0

 

and adding this, though not sure it's a valid SF2 parameter but why the heck not as it doesn't break anything:

 

MaxRollCombat=35.0

 

Now less Fw 190-like in the roll ;) I'm no FM expert but this seems to work.

 

Thanks for the great aircraft.

I'll test that out on the Mk.1 late (with the dihedral stabs), as I'm assembling that package over the next couple of days

Got a couple of extra skin/decal sets to do (standard day and the NF versions)

 

thanks!

I've noticed that these Beaus have trouble hitting moving targets, especially at sea. The following entry in the DATA INI fixed it for me:

 

[strafeAI]
RollInRange=4500.0
RollInAlt=1100.0
PullOutRange=400.0
PullOutAlt=175.0
ReleaseRange=1200.0
SecondPassRange=3500.0
SecondPassAlt=950.0
ReleaseInterval=1.0
AimPitchOffset=0.0

I thought I'd added that ... must have been one of other marks!!

 

thanks SteveT!!
