+Wrench Posted June 25, 2014 Posted June 25, 2014 View File SF2 KAW F4U-4/F4U-4B Corsair Pak, Ver 2 by TMF/MM SF2 KAW F4U-4/F4U-4B Corsair Pak, Ver 2 by TMF/MM 6/18/2014 = For SF2, Full-5 Merged (Reccomended/Preferred) = ***Note: This pack replaces in total the TMF F4U-4 & F4U-4B Corsairs for KAW that were released several years ago. If you have the original KAW versions in you KAW mods folder, you =MUST= delete the F4U-4 and F4U-4B aircraft & decal folders from your game -BEFORE- installing this version. There have been a NUMBER of changes, and having the original still around =will= cause conflicts. In particular, this mod makes use of the TMF F4U-7.lod, with various components removed. As this aircraft uses SF2NA coding for carrier operations, having a Full-5 Merged install is a reccomended requirement. Those that "disapprove" of using the -7 Lod are cordially invited, and encouraged, =NOT= to download this mod. You have been warned!! *** This package contains remods of the F4U-4/-4B Corsairs for use during the Korean War. There are 2 complete aircraft in this pak, with a ship-load of skins/decal sets. If you have the originals from the "KAW Corsairs Pak" issued in 2013, you are advised to either delete or otherwise remove =BOTH= the aircraft and decals subfolders. These are designed to REPLACE, in total, those older orignal versions. The AU-1 and F4U-5NL are NOT in this pak; only the -4s Several new skin sets by CrazyHorseB34 have been added to this package They are marked with a star (*) below. Skins/Decal sets are included for the following units: F4U-4: VF-24 "Renegades" (USS Boxer, 7/50-11/50) VF-32 "Swordsmen" (USS Leyte, 1950-51)* VF-63 "Fighting Redcocks" (USS Boxer 2/52-8/52) VF-64 "Freelancers" (same as above) VF-113 "Stingers"(USS Philippine Sea, 7/50-3/51) VF-114 "Excutioners" (same as above) VF-193 "Ghostriders" (USS Princeton, 1952)* VF-653 "Dragons" (USS Valley Forge, 51-52) * VF-871 (USS Essex, 51-52) * VF-884 "Bitter Birds" (USS Boxer, 1951 & USS Kearsarge 52-53) * VMF-312 "Checkboards" (Shore based, various fields in Korea) F4U-4B: VF-53 "Iron Angels" (USS Essex 1/51-3/52) VF-192 "Golden Dragons" (USS Princeton, 11/51-5/52) VF-653 "Dragons" (USS Valley Forge, 51-52) * VF-791 "Fighting Rebels" (USS Boxer, 3/51-10/51) VMA-323 "Deathrattlers" (shore based, various fields in Korea) VMA-332 "Polka Dots" (USS Sicily ?? -flew off CVE) VMF-214 "Black Sheep" (shore based) *Please note, many Corsair squadrons flew both the -4 and -4B at the same time. There is one 'Easter Egg' squadron (totally fictious), as you all know how I hate wasting good skins/decal sets!!* The aircraft is fully carrier-capable, with all the SF2NA coding for deck 'parking'. Skins are in jpg format. All markings are decals and Decal Randomization is TRUE. BuNums are accurate for the aircraft variant(s) depicted, but not for the actual ones used by the squadrons; consider them 'generic' for that purpose. Like the original pak, all weapons, engine sound and pilot figure are included. The machine guns and cannons are not; these you should have already. A couple of new or updated weapons have been included (see Notes for more details), including new Mk.5 rocket rails by Raven. Standard Animations Keystrokes are used for the canopy (Shift/0) and wingfold (shift/9). The aircraft will now appear on the boat, parked properly with folded wings. As always, fairly easy to follow, highly detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them before installing. Also, give the "Notes" section a read too. Good Hunting, and Happy Landings! Wrench Kevin Stein Submitter Wrench Submitted 06/25/2014 Category F4U 1 Quote
+NIELS Posted June 26, 2014 Posted June 26, 2014 Nice job Wrench.............Bravo Sir, KAW ROCKS! Quote
+Menrva Posted June 26, 2014 Posted June 26, 2014 Thank you very much, Wrench. It's appreciated. Sorry if I bother you with two (stupid) questions: Which is the fictitious squadron? And do the AU-1 and the F4U-5NL need a prop fix too? I haven't flown them for a while. Quote
malibu43 Posted June 26, 2014 Posted June 26, 2014 FWIW - I had to increase the base quantity of the Mk5-F4URack rocket pod to get them to be available at the start of a campaign or to have enough to loadout multiple aircraft in a single mission. Changing BaseQuantity=10 to =100 did the trick. Otherwise looks good, Wrench! Quote
+Wrench Posted June 26, 2014 Author Posted June 26, 2014 (edited) I just reused Raven's datat ini, converted to SF2 The fictious unit is VMF-58 "Wildcards", from the TV show "Space: Above and Beyond" the AU-1 and -5NL are fine In fact, Crazyhorse sent me a modded version of the 5NL, 'down converting" it to a standard -5 fighter bomber. Haven't been able to determine if they were actually used in Korea, but it'll be released over the next day or so Edited June 26, 2014 by Wrench Quote

+Wrench Posted June 26, 2014 Author Posted June 26, 2014 there's a link to a very similar PDF in the readme, down near the Notes section. Quote
