ETO 1941 FM Packs

[+baffmeister]

After working on  the Battle of Britain FM's for over a year it is time for the RAF to get offensive! The attached package contains some simple FM updates that allow the Mk2 Spits and Hurris to conduct missions across the English Channel. Also included are the BF-109E-7 with the "N" engine and the BF-109E-4B[Late]. My original plan for the E-7 was to use the Wrench/RussoUK Jabo package with my E-7 FM but there are some considerable differences between the E-3/E-4 models I've been using and the E-7 model in the Jabo package so to save a lot of time I am still using the E-4 model. On the plus side, I found the ETC50 MER in the Wrench/Russo package and the Jabo skin works with the E-4 lod so I am making use of those items. The Jabo skin required some edits to the decal ini due to some differences in the model centers so I have included that. To get the ETC50 and Jabo skin go here: http://combatace.com/files/file/13997-sf2-ww2-eto-bf-109e-7-jabo-by-russouk/

 

Attached is the " ETO_Flight Models-1941-Beta 0.95 Pack1."  ETO_FM-1941-0.95P1.zip

 

The installation instructions are based on having the BoB beta 0.95 package installed.

Attached is the second 1941 ETO FM pack. They have the usual customized WW2 AI edits and damage modeling as well as revised MaxSpeedSL entries that are still experimental but make them beta 0.96 standard. More info in the ReadMe. 

 

FM's included:

 

BF-109 F-1 and F-2. These are for the A-Team models so access to that site required for these.

 

Spitfire 5A [early]. The last gasp for the TMF/Wrench Spitfire 1A! Less than 100 of these early Spit 5A's were assembled from existing 1A and 2A airframes. They retained the 8 Browning machine guns but got the RR Merlin 45 engine. As far as I can tell, they still used the old fabric covered ailerons and didn't have drop tanks or bomb racks. For the later Spitfire 5 versions I plan on switching over to the Cocas/Wrench packages but that's down the road a bit. The installation instructions are based on having the previous ETO FM pack installed.

 

Westland Whirlwind. Two versions included. The first version didn't have bomb racks but was quite effective as a fighter and the cannon armament was used to good effect on ground targets. I have it classed as a FIGHTER with secondary SEAD and ARMED_RECON roles. In the summer of 1942 60+ Whirlwinds [survivors?] were equipped with bomb racks. I have them classed as ATTACK with secondary CAP and INTERCEPT roles. It has been very difficult finding reliable internet information regarding the Whirlwinds performance so this FM is more of a guesstimate than usual. More info in the ReadMe. You need the Veltro2K/Wrench package available here: http://combatace.com/files/file/13858-sf2-ww2-eto-westland-whirlwind-mk1-pak/

 

Here's the FM package: ETO_FM-1941-0.96P2.zip

Here are the updated 1941 ETO FM's beta 0.97 after a trip through Mue's LodViewer. The Westland Whirlwind will get updated later. I want to see if I can find some better engine data for it.
