+Wrench Posted July 22, 2016 Posted July 22, 2016 View File SF2 WW2 BT2D "Skyraider" (AD-1) SF2 WW2 BT2D "Skyraider" (AD-1) 7/21/2016 "A Somewhat What If aircraft for WW2 PTO '46" **Note: consider this 'version 3.0', replacing the SF/Wo* version based on MontyCZ Skyraider I'd done many years ago. THIS version replaces that one completely. Delete it if you still have it.** *Note you =MUST= have SF2:V as part of your merged install, as the mod references the stock A-1H lod for the aircraft.* The is a semi-what if aircraft, as the BT2D did exist (and was renamed the AD-1 in 1947). This mod assumes that the aircraft WAS deployed to the Western Pacific in WW2, in the event that the development and/or usage of the A-Bombs was curtailed for some reason. The aircraft comes with three skin/decal sets (although only one actual skin residing in the main folder; the "Brain32 trick".) VB-14 (USS WASP)VT-88 (USS YORKTOWN) VB-19 (USS CORAL SEA) The skin remains in bmp format. All markings are decals and decal randomization is TRUE. All Aircraft carry the new style (post-July 1945) "letter code" ship identification tags. These ARE correct for the time from 7/45 - 12/46(ish). VT88 & VB19 also make use the "hundreds" series modex numbers, which also started usage 7/45. VB14 remains with is double digit modex numbers. Several other ship ID code decal are provided, for those wishing to replace other SB2C & TBM units with the BT2D. Other units can be easily made if one knows their code letters (I do!) Other units may require new, different sequenced modex number decals. All weapons, sounds and a pilot figure are included. The canopy opens with the standard keystroke, Shift/0 (zero). Wingfold is active, by using it's standard keystroke, Shift/9, but it's not reccomended to fold the wings when loaded, as due to some sort of game limitation, the weapons will NOT move with the wing (no matter how much I've tried to fix that).The aircraft has been given a "start date' of of June, 1945.The aircraft is equipped with radar, (AN/APS-4) in an external pod, and is speced to carry and deploy just about all USN weapons of the period, including "Bat" glide bombs, and torpedos. As always, unzip this to a temp folder somwhere, and you'll have access to the rest of the readme for it's instructions. Happy Landings!WrenchKevin Stein Submitter Wrench Submitted 07/22/2016 Category USN/USMC Other 3 Quote
+Wrench Posted July 24, 2016 Author Posted July 24, 2016 You're welcome! next one, will be the (corrected) WW2 version of the F8F-1 Bearcat (in answer to your question in the screenshots thread, that's the ASM-1 "Bat" radio controlled glide bomb. Lindr made it several years ago, and that is my SF2 upgraded version) 3 Quote

charlielima Posted July 25, 2016 Posted July 25, 2016 Wasn't the prototype called the "Dauntless II" ? Or was that just the name given to the engineering rendering on the bar napkin ? CL Quote
Wilches Posted July 25, 2016 Posted July 25, 2016 Yes!! It was the great Edward Heineman form Douglas who made a Skyraiders´s sketch on a napkim. Quote
ShrikeHawk Posted July 25, 2016 Posted July 25, 2016 Guess I should do a Tigercat as well??? Yep. I've got a Tigercat in my install. A ww2 (1947) skin would be great. Quote
