SF2 P-51D/K Mustang by Crisis Remod Pack 1/28/2024 -For SF2, Any and All- Another 1stGen Salvage Project... This is an SF2 Remod of P-51D Mustang by crisis. Historically this was one of the first aircraft mods released for SF1 in approx 2008. While the model still has some issues (see "Notes"), it's fully functional, and has been upgraded for the SF2 environment. I believe this will be a complimentary aircraft for the stock 3W Mustang (and others). This mod is supplied with just about all the original skin sets I could find from the 1stGen SF mods section and from Marcfighters archive. Unfortunately, several were not up to snuff, with inaccurate coloration, or had painted-on markings that make it impossible to allow the use of the superb 3W decal system. Therefore several, while replicating the originals, are new builds. These were made from a new template, and it is included. These skin sets cover US Army Air Force (WW2 ETO), USAF (post-war), Korean War units for the USAF, RoKAF, SAAF, and Israeli Air Force directly post-WW2 and during the 1956 Suez Crisis.. Several of the included skins make use of decal sets I created for other mods, as you all know how I hate to waste good decals!!! :) You will find herein ... USAAF/USAF: 362nd FS,357th FG (ETO) -1944 start date (NMF) 375th FS, 361st FG (ETO) -Sept, 1944 start date (Camo/NMF/Invasion Stripes under wing/fues) "USAFSilver", Generic NMF -10/1947 start date 12th FBS, 18th FBG (Korea) -1950 start date SAAF: 2 Sqdn, SAAF "Flying Cheetahs" -1950 start date IDFAF: No.101 Sqdn (NMF) -1948 start date No.116 Sqdn Blue/Brown Camo (1956<) -Suez Crisis camo scheme RoKAF: 51st PFS* (ROKAF) -Korean War. #18 is Col. Dean Hess' aircraft, with nose art *=Provisional Fighter Squadron 98.6% of the markings are decals, with some small exceptions (see notes). Decal randomization is TRUE. While many skins had to be remade, some are still 'as issued' (un-retouched). All remain in bmp format. As is usual, serial numbers & 'plane in squadron letters' (WW2 & Korea) are as historically accurate as possible. Those fully 100% matched are marked with the star (*), those correct, but unable to match to a individual code letter are marked with the plus/cross (+), those with no mark are generic. For those units listed in the game's SquadronList ini, my (patent pending) 'fake SqTail' decal is used to activate their name displayed on the Loadout screen. The SF2 'date switch' is used for all services on their respective skin sets. Sounds and drop tanks are included. All weapons used are also included. If you End Users (tm) have the SF2I expansion that adds the Mustang and WW2 era weapon, feel free to edit the loadout ini to use those stock in-game 3rd Wire items. The data ini has been brought up, as much as possible, to current standards. The FM test drives as fully compatable with SF2. When in-game, you'll see P-51D/K Mustang (cr) on the Aircraft Selection dropdown. This "(cr)" will differenize this one from the 3rd Wire or Wolf357's (and variations thereof). This mod DOES (sorta) cover both the D & K variants, as there's very little (actual) difference between them (one built in Inglewood, CA -D; the other in Dallas, TX -K; albeit with a different prop). Canopy acutation uses the Standard Animation Keystroke (tm), Shift/0. As is always reccomended, unzip to a temp folder or your desktop to give easy access to the rest of this readme for it's install instructions. Also, give the "Notes" a browse, as it explains certain issues this model has, and the change logs. Good Hunting and Happy Landings! Wrench Kevin Stein

This is a 2 seat version of the F2J-1 released recently in the "F2J Super Fury What If Pack.

All markings, excepting the International Oranage markings on the VT-9 skin are decals. Decal randomization is TRUE. Modex numbers are the correct series for both skins, in the time frame represented. The Standard Animation Keystrokes (tm) is used for the Wingfold (Shift/9) and Canopy (Shift/0).

SF2 WW2 & Post-War Spitfire XIV Skin/Ini Pak 3/31/2014 -- Something for the WW2 ETO (and post war) players -- = For SF2 ONLY, Full-5 Merged (Reccomended/Preferred) = *** DLC #29 REQUIRED for this Mod!!!! *** A reskinning of the stock 3W DLC 29 Spit XIV (14), adds a WW2 skin, and 2 early post-war RAF skins. They are: No 130 "Punjab" Squadron (as seen in the ETO in late 44-thru wars end) No 60 Squadron (Malaya, 1946) No 28 Squadron (as seen at Tengah, 1948) The Squadron Crest for each is used as the 'paint chip' seen on the loading screen. Included are modified data and loadout, userlist & main inis. For you viewing pleasure, a brand NEW SF2-style Hangar screen. The assumption (oh! that word!!) is being made that you've already made the aircraft player flyable, so no cockpit bits are included. However, my "One Click Restore Main Ini" (patent pending) is. No weapons (bombs and guns) are included, as all stock items are being used, but a drip tank is. The canopy has been activated via the Standard Animation Keystroke ™, Shift/0. All markings are decals (excepting SEAC bands), and decal randomization is TRUE (but is acting quite "oddly" for some reason). *Please Note: if you have PauloPanz's EXCELLENT Spit 14 skin pak, you may want to backup and compare his data ini to mine. You may also want to create a NEW One Click Restore ini ™, after it automaticly adds his skins -- See notes for changes.* 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 Landings!! Wrench Kevin Stein
