the ship thing may be a lod problem on the vessels them selves. I've never really noticed it!! US CV and Amphib forces were west and slightly south of Guam (oth, the IJN were northwest, pretty much were i placed them)

File Name: SF2 WW2 FAA F6F-5 Hellcat Skin and Ini Update Pak File Submitter: Wrench File Submitted: 14 November 2012 File Category: F4F / F6F / F7F / F8F SF2 WW2 FAA F6F-5 Hellcat Skin and Ini Update Pak -- For Geo's Hellcat -- = For SF2, Full-5 Merged (Reccomended/Preferred) = *Note: Mod may =NOT= work in SF/Wo* 1stGen game installs, due to the excessive modifications made to fit them into the SF2 environment. It uses more SF2NA style statements, and a fancy SF2-only "switches" that absolutely don't work in 1stGens* *Note #2: this model will update the SF2 version of Geo's F6F-5, that I uploaded some time ago. The aircraft/skin pak is available at the following URL: http://combatace.com/files/file/13316-sf2-ww2-pto-f6f-hellcat-pak/ This is to be applied AFTER installing the above mentioned, and/or directly OVER you existing aircraft, for those that have it already. Included in this pak are: A new skin for 1844 Naval Air Squadron, FAA, as serving with the BPF aboard HMS INDOMITABLE, in late 44-thru 45. The skin is still in the original tga format, and decal randomization is set to TRUE. And... updated data, loadout 'main' inis, and a new Userlist.ini with (hopefully!) correct exportation dates. Dates are rounded to the closest whole year. The data ini has a slightly refined FM (which, honestly DOES need further tweeking by experts). Certain nation-centric SF2 only 'switches' have been applied when selecting the FAA skins and FAA-specific loadouts will be generated. "New" Royal Navy type weapon(s) are included (ok, 1 new rocket set; all the bombs are the standard RAF type) Drop tank is not inclued; it's in the original pak. Also, a new FAA-themed hangar screen When in game, select the F6F-5, and "Royal Navy Fleet Air Arm" for the service, and have at them! As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. So, please READ them. Also, give the "Notes" section a read too for futher explinations, clarifactions, illuminations and so forth. Good Hunting! wrench kevin stein Click here to download this file

could you be a bit less vauge?? WHICH ww2 carriers??? VICTORIOUS? SYDNEY?????, SCB-125s, CVL, or CVE??? they all work are you flying for the correct service? correct dates (meaning, anytime after 1945)? did you build you mods folder from the SF2NA exe??? not a lot to go on here...

I HAVE templates, my patented Home Grown Variety ™, for Geo's Hellcat, if anyone wants to take on early FAA camo. unfortunately, the wings don't fold. But.... just saying!

ok, everyone that wants too, give this a try. REMEMBER!!! you MUST have built you PTO mods folder from SF2NA, or be Full-5 merged, as NA statments and water bmp are used. I'd also suggest backing up the following inis: CentralPacific.ini CentralPacfic_Targets.ini CentralPacific_Nations.ini as a CYA measure. if this works, then I'll upload this to the /Terrains downlaods section unzip, and drop into the CentralPacific terrain folder don't forget the working carriers; both US and IJN

like WK said, that 's a Baltimore or Maryland .. look at the shape of the fuseleage 'neck up' aft of the turret first one is definately a Bf110

I have bpao's max file for his uncompleted Mk.IX... 'within the realm of possibility' that it could also be down converted to MK.V, VTrop and Seafire III screenie is a 'test skin'; the aircraft needs further work and animations and stuff. Mapped the same as the Mk.1 and Mk 8 recently released (problaby from same source file)

might have to do with the 'inivisible airfields' that were used originally, since we didn't have CV zones back then. I'll have to chekc mine, and see if I updated it (btw, anyone notice that I got it wrong on the positioning of the US task forces!!!)

Gladiator?? Found it, and a Sea Gladiator version, sitting in my MTO /Aircraft folder. It's definately NOT the DAT version, as the skin and LOD naming conventions are completly different. So, anyone have any idears??? thanks!

Thanks Daniel! for both; the info on Pancake is most welcome!! and the Gladiators, too! ... Malta, here we come!

which means that Ant has to brave the Deadly English Attic Spider once again....(we don't have a spider smiley!!)

again, depenging... a lot of the LendLease airraft had markings applied at the factory (Grumman, Vought, etc), and 'american style' paints and codes were applied. on the Martlets I just released, the Mk.IV (iirc) uses 'american' style lettering. Sometime we use the 'best closest fit' but if someone come up with the exact font, I could sure it!!!

File Name: SF2 WW2 Hawker Hurricane IIC (MTO/DAF), by Raven File Submitter: Wrench File Submitted: 12 November 2012 File Category: Hurricane SF2 WW2 Hawker Hurricane IIC (MTO/DAF), by Raven -- Something for the WW2 ETO/MTO players -- = For SF2, Full-5 Merged (Reccomended/Preferred) = *There is a distinct possibility that this mod will work in SF/Wo* 1stGen game installs. However, due to some of the modifications made to fit them into the SF2 environment, all the features will NOT be working as designed. But it SHOULD work!* Some modification, tweeks, reskin and so forth for Raven's excellent Hurri 2C, create a semi-dedicated version for North Africa/Western Desert/MTO usage. Originally, I was just going to do an 'update pak', but it was just as easy to assemble a Full Aircaft Package. This was done simply for 'ease of use' (read: laziness!!! ). The LOD fix has already been applied. A new Desert camo skin for 213 Squadron was created from Raven's templates. The decals are 'retreads' from my original 1stGen skin. This skin is still in bmp format. Decal randomization is TRUE. As all the markings are decals, it would be quite easy for other skinners to recreate other squadron that used the IIC Trop in the Western Desert/North Africa/Italy/MTO/etc. Data ini edits add the 'destroyed model' statements; the destroyed model is also included (from the WW2 terrains, and works perfectly!). Mission statements have been adjusted to maximize on the Ground Attack potential; A-A statement have been limited to CAP/Intercept. FM has not been touched; it flys just fine in SF2. Other ini edits replace the gunsight with my old EAW Pappa Romeo conversion (done for us old folks with old eyes; this is much easier to see!). The pilot figure was also swapped for something more 'tropical' looking. A new SF2 version of my original "Box Art" hangar screen and a NEW Desert-themed Loading screen, are included. All of Raven's weapons for the Hurricane are included, upgraded for SF2 usage. These are ALL the weapons, for all his Hurricanes (as there are several other mods in the works). Odds are, that those that know how, will have already made the SF2 conversion; this is done as a "CYA Measure" for those that haven't, are d/ling for the first time, or just because! All other RAF WW2-style bombs are included as well. When 'in game', you'll see "Hurricane Mk.IIc Trop (Raven)" on the drop down menu. This will differentiate it from any other IICs you may (or may not) have. As always, fairly easy to follow, highly detailed install instructions are included. So, please =READ= them. Also, give the "Notes" section a read too. With Thanks To Raven for the bird, and the OK to tweek her! Good Hunting! wrench kevin stein Click here to download this file

It is HIGHLY suggested you be at the latest SF2 patch level for the mod to work properly* This is the NAA F-82G "Twin Mustang" as operated by the USAF during the Korean War. This is a BRAND NEW MODEL!!!, created expecially for KAW. You will probably want to delete any other Twin Mustang you may (or may not!) have. This will replace it completely. This pack comes with 3 skins: 4th AWS 68th AWS 339th AWS as used in the Air Defense of Japan, and over Korea itself. All aircraft are finished in 'Night Black". All skins and damage textures are in DDS format. Decal randomization is set to TRUE. All sounds, weapons, pilot figures and goodies are included. A New SF2-style 'box art' hangar is included (rebuilt from the 1stGen version). The Standard Animation Keystroke ™ operate the canopies (Shift/0). As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them. Also, might want to give the "Notes" section a look-see, for further explinations, illuminations, and operational notes.

i'm not sure; never messed with bit. But I've seen SoundPositon (or something to that effect) in other data inis...just can't remember which ONE!!

It is designed for use in SF2, at the most current patch level. Your milage will vary!* A brand "new" model that was never completed when Bpao passed away a few year back. I've been fortunate enough to be allowed to complete his work, as a member of the Mod Mafia. Skin/Decals set included are for: 31st FG, USAAF: 307th FS 308th FS 309th FS Royal Air Force: 92 Squadron 417 Squadron All the units served in the MTO. All skins are in jpg format, Decal Randomization is TRUE. A "new" SF2 version of the original 'box art' hangar screen and loading screens are included. All markings are decals (excepting National Markings, that are painted on); making it supremely easy to recreate other squadron users. A user list is included; operational service dates have been rounded to the closest whole Year. All weapons, sounds, pilot figure(s) (including the 'fake pilot') are included. For those squadrons listed in the stock SquadronList.ini, my 'fake SqTail' decal will activate the Displayed Name on the Loaodut Screen. The Canopy opens with the Standard Animation Keystroke ™, Shift/0 Damage textures are set for DDS; tga versions are supplied for 1stGen users that attempt to use it in SF/Wo*. When 'in game', you'll see "Spitfire Mk.VIII (TMF)" in the aircraft selection drop-down window. This will diferentiate it from any other Mk.VIIIs you may (or may not) have .

AttachmentType= should read JAPAN (some also may say Japanese Empire; this is a CYA move) the individual weapon's data inis should also read "Japan" AttachmentType=JAPAN SpecificStationCode= NationName=Japanese Empire for both IJN and IJAAF and... just as important, do you have ther correct WW2 nations.ini in the /Flight folder (always have to ask that!)

forgot the mention, this is the Tropicalized, with the Vokes filter

File Name: SF2 WW2 Royal Navy Corsair Mk.1 by Mod Mafia/TMF File Submitter: Wrench File Submitted: 12 November 2012 File Category: F4U SF2 WW2 Royal Navy Corsair Mk.1 by Mod Mafia/TMF = For SF2, Full-5 Merged (Reccomended/Preferred) = -- Something for the ETO -- *Note: There is a distinct possibility that this mod =MAY= work in SF/Wo* 1stGen game installs. However, due to the excessive modifications made to fit them into the SF2 environment. End Users ™ that attempt to do so, do so at their own risk. A Full 4/5 Merged install is reccomened; at very minimum, SF2:V is required, as this aricraft references the A-1H's destroyed model. Also, some of the SF2 only "switches" will NOT work in 1stGens.* A brand "new" model that was never completed when Bpao passed away a few year back. I've been fortunate enough to be allowed to complete his work, as a member of the Mod Mafia. This is the Royal Navy Fleet Air Arm Corsair Mk.1 as seen 1943-ish, when first issued to RN squadron. It should be noted, that almost NONE of the Mk.1s were used in combat, but mostly for training as the Mk.II followed right on it's heels. Essentially, this is the "Birdcage" Corsair. Unlike the Mk.II and Mk.IV, these never got the "clipped wings", and had very limited use aboard RN Carriers. Like the USMC/USN Birdcage, it is fully combat-capable, but in Real Life ™ was rarely used so. Skin/Decals are included are for: 1830 Squadron, as seen at New Brusnwick, Maine (USA) before transport to the UK. All skins are in jpg format. Decals are used for all markings, and Randomization is TRUE. A "new" SF2 style hangar screen was created for this aircraft. Damage textures are the old tga versions. A user list is included; operational service dates have been rounded to the closest whole Year (ie: 1943), even though its a "Nationalized" version. The aircraft is fully carrier capable. The canopy operates via the Standard Animation Keystorke ™ of Shift/0. Breaking with Modder Tradition, the wingfold operates via the "airbrakes" key. I didn't change to the standard Shift/9, as the last time I did it, I broke it!. So, it is as it was originally set by Bpao. All lighting is historically accurate. WW2 weapons (ie: bombs, rockets) are NOT included. You should have them already. The drop tank is, as is the pilot figure and engine sounds (which you may also have already!). when 'in game', you'll see "Corsair Mk.I "Birdcage" (TMF)" in the aircraft selection drop-down window. This will diferentiate it from any other RN Corsairs you may (or may not) have. (or that are still to come!) As always, fairly easy to follow, highly detailed install instructions are included.

These, again, will replace them.* A brand "new" model that was never completed when Bpao passed away a few year back. I've been fortunate enough to be allowed to complete his work, as a member of the Mod Mafia. This is the F4U-1D Corsair, as seen from 1944 unitl the end of the War. Skin/Decals set included are for: USN/USMC: VF-84, aboard USS BUNKER HILL VBF-10, aboard USS INTREPID VBF-83, aboard USS ESSEX VMF-112, aboard USS BENNINGTON VMF-323, land based on Okinawa RNZAF: 20 Squadron (?), land based SoWesPac. (note: markings may be for No.1 or No.2 Service Unit, the "parent unit" of the squadrons.) All skins are in jpg format, Decal Randomization is TRUE. A "new" SF2 version of the original 'box art' hangar screen and loading screens are included. Damage textures are the old tga versions. AND...when selecting the RNZAF Corsair, expect a surprise!!! The "prop fix" from the Birdcage and -1A variants has already been applied to the mod. USN Air Group markings are the "G" system, and are painted on the skins. This system was used from Jan 1945 to July 1945, when Air Group marking began changing the now in-use "Letter" style. My resarech has shown that many squadron still were using G-symbols on VJ-Day. Decals are used for most other markings, and Randomization is set to TRUE. A user list is included; operational service dates have been rounded to the closest whole Year (ie: 1944).
