File Name: SF2 KAW F4U-4/F4U-4B Corsair Pak, Ver 2 by TMF/MM File Submitter: Wrench File Submitted: 25 June 2014 File Category: F4U 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.

there's a link to a very similar PDF in the readme, down near the Notes section.

by following my instructions (and/or using the WW2 version and modernizing it)

you know the F-12 is a completely different aircraft than the SR71, right??? There's almost not comparison. While "close" in general shape, there are MAJOR differences. btw, thanks for the lined map Ed!!

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

as someone that always hated doing timing chains and timing belts.... this animation of the Hercules sleeve valve system gave me the heebee-jeebees! just think the amount of work aligning these gears/cams/etc for proper sleeve timing (shudder) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_vrvep_YOio

long barreled 76???

I figured that what it would be for, from you MAX screen capture. assuming a 1000 hp Herc, performance might drop a little due to drag, but without all the plumbing & weght for liquid cooling, might even out!

AvHistory sounds has it, also in the Beaufighters that Cocas and I did (but that's a twin sound) maybe for a single, the Mecury sound? (also AvHistory) http://combatace.com/files/file/11848-avhistory-ww2-aircraft-engine-sounds/

that's not a site issue then, is it? more like an ISP issue. take that up with your provider.

some folks REALLY distrust exe files for downloads. I'm one of them. Too many chances of having "uninvited guests" attaching themselves to exes. How difficult would it have been to simply create it as RAR or zip or 7z??? One wonders... If I were you, I'd use one of the well known file compression programs (as listed right above), and re-upload as a "standard" file.

I stand corrected ... the B/CD don't have it. you gotta remember, most of my flying time is spent BEFORE 1955!!

great shots! thanks!! (must locate and scan the few I took on Missouri in 91, on her way to Hawaii)

you've got a Mc-202 in there!!! We sure could use a new one!! is that oli's A-Wing, or one of yours? (I remember him posting pics of the T/F and X-Wing ages and ages ago!)

yes, indeed you missed the range displays below is the F4E (no suffix) displays 5, 10, 25 and 50 mile digits B, C, D and others are similar.

Pilots and the drop tank are included, other weapons (guns, bumbs, et) you should have already. However, a new 'rocket rail' by Raven is. Included are several remodded weapons (new HVARs), and an updated TinyTim. In the loadout ini, there's a special "Anti-Ship_HR" (for Heavy Rocket) loadout that replaces the bombs with the Tiny Tims. Of course, one can always swap them out on the Loadout Screen. The canopy opens/closes with the Standard Animation Keystroke ™, Shift/0. Wingfold is controled by Shift/9.

Been several months since Daniel has been around. Just wondering how he's doing. Haven't seen him on FB either We had the Seafire IIIC nearly done, but the model I have right now needs some 3d work to fix the tail wheel. (and more Beaufighters to do, too!) Hope everything is ok with him!!

Agreed! Well, I hope he sees this and lets us know how he' doing!

cue music from Jaws

bet you found some REAL interesting layers, eh? If you ask, I'll tell what the blue one with the white "bandage" stripes was for. hehehehehehehehehehe!!!!

what, no X-4s??? the lines are still too prominent, need to be faded down more. Really like the mottle scheme, though!

the new set (attachment removed above) has been uploaded to replace the original corrupted version. It's in the same thread n the SF/Wo* Skin Templates downloads.

NP burdda! I assume for the J model?? let me zip it up, PM inbound soon

would have been the Swallow's lunch. As a test bed, it was good. But that's about it. there's one (most likely the only survivor) about 40 miles east of me at the Chino Museaum. It's under restoration to flying status.
