SF2 WW2 PTO P-40B/C Tomahawk (USAAC) Pack 5/01/2015

 

-- Something for the WW2 PTO players --

 

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

 

*Note: this mod is most likely =NOT= usable in 1stGen installs at any patch level. This may be due to the use of a 'late model' cockpit.*

 

**Notex2: this mod is designed for use ONLY in a PTO-Centric mods folder**

 

This package contains a SF2 version of Raven's P-40B/C Tomahawk, in use by the USAAC just before, and during, the opening months of The Pacific War. While considered a 'beta', the aircraft is 100% all there. As I understood it, the beta tag is ONLY because the cockpit was never finished. In that light, I've substituted one of Stary's Generic Cockpits ™.

 

The skins included are:

 

47th PS, 15th PG, Bellows Field, Hawaii, December 1941 "Pearl Harbor Defender"

20th PS, 24th PG, Phillipines, December 1941

DOD41 - representative of aircraft from August to November 1941

 

Skins maps remain in their bmp format. The SF2 'date switch' is NOT used on any of these skins.

All markings are decals, and Decal Randomization is TRUE. The Hangar screen is a revamped Sf2 version of my original "AvArt". All sounds, drop tank and pilot figure are included. Guns are not, as they're stock items. Service dates are rounded to "whole months". The canopy operates with the Standard Animation Keystroke, Shift/0. Be advised, this aircraft has a short service life, as the E models were already in service when the US entered the war.

 

When in-game, you'll see

 

P-40B/C Tomahawk (Raven)

 

On the aircraft selection drop-down. This will diferentiate it from Wolf's P-40B/C mod. In fact, =THIS= mod is designed to replace, completely, any and all earlier versions.

 

As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. PLEASE read them!!

 

Good Hunting!!

Thanks Wrench, it looks good. I love the attention to detail with all the lights, and I think the Stary cockpit is a good fit for this aircraft.

 

The shell ejection positions for the wing guns do not line up with the ejection ports on the skin, they need some adjustment I think.

Also, I noticed a really weird thing when flying the aircraft without the decals installed - the fuselage shows up as black. Installing the decals fixed the problem, but it is a weird problem I have never seen before.

that's a texture issue, (usually). Strange that you'd install it with out decals... the package is automaticaly set up correctly; no screwing around with having to move multiple folders (unless I missed by one level?)

odd, it never showed for me. running out of texture memory? but, having decals uses MORE memory ... well, hell. chalk it up to 'generic SF2 strangeness.

 

Raven has done a masterfull job on ALL the P-40s. Makes all other previous versions look like crap.

 

still to come:

AVG (with baltika's 99.9% historical decals)

MTO RAF Tomahawks

[+RAVEN 414]

The Pit I'm doing is 80% complete. Guess I'll have to finish it now. :) Thanks Bob.
