-- Something for the WW2 PTO players --
 
= For SF2, Full-5 Merged (Reccomended/Preferred) =
 
*This mod will =NOT= work in SF/Wo* 1stGen game installs, at any patch level. It was built for SF2 ONLY!! Also, some statements for anti-ship/naval strike require having SF2NA as part of your merged install (meaning: your WW2 PTO mods folder built from the SF2NA exe).*
 
*Note x2: This mod represents RAAF Beau TF Mk.Xs for SouthWestPacific (PNG/Solomons/etc) use =ONLY=! This is an Australian-only, Nationalized version, for use in the aforementioned theatre.*
 
This pack contains the following aircraft & skin/decal sets:
 
Beaufighter TF Mk.X
No 30 Squadron, RAAF
 
This pack represents RAAF Beau TF.Xs, from late 1943 through the war's end.
The Squadron Crest for each is used as the paint chip seen on the Loadout Screen.
Skins are in jpg format. All markings are decals, and decal randomization is set to TRUE.
As seen on the Loadout Screen, those letters marked with a star (*) have their serial numbers matched 100% to their plane-in-group letter. Those withOUT the star, while having served with 30 Squadron, could not be matched to their individual aircraft, but ALL are 100% historiclly correct, having served in this squadron. Many were lost on operations or accidents.
All weapons, sounds, pilots, etc are included.
 
When in-game, you'll see:
 
Beaufighter TF Mk.X (RAAF) (CAF)
 
On the Aircraft Selection Drop-down menu. The "CAF" (for Cocas Aircraft Factory) will diferentiate these Beaus from any others you may, or may not, have.

This is my template set for the STOCK 3rd Wire A-1H & A-1J Skyraiders.
 
These are multi layered Photoshop format (PSD) templates for the three main maps
 
body
left_wing
tail
 
the templates are 2048 x 2048. there is also a "nodes" map for each, to assist in finding the little odd bits.
 
the right wing is mapped identically to the left, so the only difference would be for camoflague patterns.
All my myriad layers are intact, which explains the HUGE size of each of them. You may keep or discard those layers that you don't need as you see fit (many are experiments for a mod that fell through)
 
Somehow or another, these slipped my notice, and should have been uploaded a looooong time ago.

SF2 IDF/AF Bristol Beaufighter TF Mk.X by Cocas 1/4/2016
 
= For SF2:I, (Full-5 Merged, Reccomended/Preferred) =
 
*This mod will =NOT= work in SF/Wo* 1stGen game installs, at any patch level. It was built for SF2 ONLY!!.*
 
*Note x2: This is a nationalized, stand-alone, version designed =ONLY= for use by the IDF/AF*
 
This mod represents the 4 Beaus used by the IDF's No. 103 squadron in late 1948. They had a VERY short service life, and this is reflected in the data ini. Operational dates are rounded to 'whole months'. Historically, there were 5 aircraft, one crashing before leaving England. I've given you 6 serial number decals, just because.
 
All markings, excepting the fuselage stripe, are decals and decal randomization is TRUE. This is a complete package, containing all "bits" necessary - weapons (bombs, rockets, rocket rails, drop tank) pilot figures, sounds and etc. Guns are not, as the 20mm cannon is a stock item. The torpedo capability has been removed, as research has turned up nothing even remotely mentioning it. Mission tasking in the data ini, and loadouts have been adjusted accordingly.
 
This mod is designed to replace, in total, any and all earlier versions that are no longer available from "other sources". The may cause issues with existing campaigns (if any that use the Beau), but are easily fixed with the simple text edit of the campaign ini.
 
As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. PLEASE read them!!!

XvT/BoP Alliance Mission Set: Lost Missions Part 1 12/8/2015
 
For XvT =WITH= BoP addon (original CD) or the new GoG version
 
Part 1 - Nowhere to Run:
 
The Alliance has been forced to abandon Hoth after it's discovery, and subsequent invasion, by Imperial forces led by Darth Vader. With the Alliance on the run once again, they find they have nowhere to hide, and nowhere to run with the Empire in hot pursuit, determined to destroy them. Just as after the Battle of Yavin, With Alliance forces scattering throughout the Outer Rim, many units are standing alone, but standing firm against The Empire.
In the midst of this chaos, Star Destroyer Warrior and it's task forces are determined to exterminate Red Squadron, whose exploits are known throughout the Galaxy. The Alliance =will= fight back in order to survive.
 
This is part 1 of a 3 part series chronicling the adventures of Red Squadron in the post-Hoth time frame. The other "Lost Missions" will follow as they are completed.
 
These are to be used/placed into your ...Balance of Power/Combat folder.
 
All missions have been edited for fairness & balance (hopefully!), due the the enhanced AI and weapons effectivness in XvT/BoP. All have new briefings and descriptions. I've added LOTS of radio messages to act as "in game hints" and to further plot lines. Please pay attention to them, as some may save your life or your mission critcal craft.
 
As always, =PLEASE= read the install instructions. Of course, the usual "Notes" and other nonesense. The original readme is included for historical purposes, and contains short descriptions of the mission (some of which have been changed) and the original backstory. Unfortunately, there was no name attached to these, so proper credit can't be given. My apologies to the original author.

*This mod will =NOT= work in SF/Wo* 1stGen game installs, at any patch level. It was built for SF2 ONLY!!.*
 
*Note x2: This mod represents both early and late production Beau TF Mk.X for ETO and MTO** usage ONLY! Seperate versions for other theatres, will be released when and as they are finshed.
We are calling this "version 0.9", as there exists the possibility, at some point in the future, of more work being done. But, we wanted to get them out into the hands of our WW2 End Users ™ for their examination, flying pleasures and so forth.*
 
**= will require new squadron code and/or individual aircraft letter decals. But the paint scheme is the same for MTO usage, in the aircraft lifespan/timeframe. However, SEAC/SoWesPac are completely different, and will require the release of "theatre specific" versions.
 
This is a BRAND NEW aircraft, brought to you by Cocas Aircraft Factory & Co. This package contains 2 complete aircraft, representing the Beaufighter TF Mk.X in both it's iterations.
This pack contains the following aircraft & skin/decal sets:

No.143 Squadron
No.236 Squadron
No.254 Squadron -- all of North Coates Strike Wing, Coastal Command
 
Beaufighter TF MK.X (Late)
 
No.254 Squadron, CC
 
The TF Mk.X (Early) has the rear flex MG, no radar and no fin extension.
The TF Mk.X (Late) is the final produciton verison, with thimble nose radar, rear flex gun, and the tail fin extension.
 
The Squadron Crest is used as the paint chip seen on the Loadout Screen. Skins are in jpg format. Everything is included (weapons, pilot figures, sounds, etc), excepting the guns (you should have all these already).
All markings are decals, and decal randomization is set to TRUE. Other squadrons can easily be reproduced by creating new squadon code letters (either for ETO or MTO usage). As is my habit, a sample bmp is left in the Decals folder so you can match the font and size.
All serials, while correct for the variant depicted, should be considered 'generic' in nature, as they represent no specific aircraft with the unit(s) represented.
 
When in-game, you'll see:
 
Beaufighter TF Mk.X (Early) (CAF)
Beaufighter TF Mk.X (Late) (CAF)
 
on the aircraft selection drop-down for this aircraft. The "CAF" (for Cocas Aircraft Factory) will diferentiate these Beaus from any others you may or may not have. It =IS= designed to replace any other Beaus of this type from "other sources".

XvT/BoP Independant Operation: A Star Is Born 10/10/2015
 
A short 5 mission TOD for XvT/Bop. (Works with original CD and 'new' GoG versions)
 
(There was no original 'readme text' for the original set, so this will have to suffice.)
 
It is some years before the story chronicaled in "A New Hope". At this time, the Rebel Alliance is still flying Y-Wings and Z-95 Headhunters. Although, Incom Corp is testing the first of it's new starfighter prototypes...the T-65 X-Wing. One of those lucky enough to be involved with the project is Siranno DelSol, know as the 'Starry Knight' to his friends and family on his home of Marek Prime. Marek is a neutral planet, aligned with neither the Empire nor the Rebels. The political climate on Marek is a 'wait and see' policy with the both of them; shakily sitting on the fence between the waring factions.
And the future of it's inhabitants is about to be decieded....
These are to be used/placed into your ...Balance of Power/Combat folder.
Many of these missions have additional goals, messages (which are sometimes used as in-game hints), and "eye candy" added.

For XvT -with- BOP add on (both original CD & new GoG version)
 
This package contain 2 sets of 12 mission each, in chronological order.
 
Revolt on Draketh V:
One of the major systems (Draketh V) that the Alliance had hoped would join the Rebellion against the Empre, has just fallen into Civil War. The dissidents that started this dispute are a group of Drakethians who refuse to live by Draketh V's governmental laws. This is a new group with few resources at their disposal; much like the early Rebel Alliance. Known as the Chasekk Directive, this group has begun to attack many vulnerable Alliance convoys in order to obtain supplies and weapons for their own use...
Return to Draketh:
The Alliance, successful in resolving the dispute between Deaketh V and the Chasekk Directive, has now gained the support of the Drakethians. However, the Chasekk Directive (who was secretly working on advanced shield generators during the Draketh V Tour) remains Neutral. They have not yet decided if they will join with the Alliance to Restore the Republic, or the Galactic Empire...
 
These are to be used/placed into your ...Balance of Power/Combat folder. Each set has it's own folder (part 1- drak, part 2- chas) and the lst reflect a chronological order.
 
Most of these missions have additional goals, messages (which are sometimes used as in-game hints), and "eye candy" added. To get the maximum points, stay 'in mission' until all goals are achieved.
 
As always, PLEASE read this enclosed readme for full, detailed install instructions. Give the "Note" section a read too, for well, notes! The original readmes for both sets are in their respective folders.

VMA-212
VMA-333
VMA-225*
VMA-251*
 
*Note: In Real Life ™ service, these 2 squadron used AD-4B (and AD-5) aircraft, but as there is little difference between the marks, for gaming purposes, are used with the AD-6/A-1H. (they =CAN= be added to the "SF2 AD-4B Skyraider, KAW Era" mod here at CA, but you'll have the blue drop tanks on your grey/white skins, but that DID happen in Real Life. Or one can hand-load the 'white' drop tanks.)
 
All aircraft use a pool of modex and BuNums, with individual air group letters. In this respect, they should be considered "generic" in nature. All markings, excepting special squadron paint schemes (VMA-225 only) are decals. All skin maps are in jpg format. Decal randomizaion is TRUE. For those squadrons that are listed in the stock 3w "squadronlist.ini", a decal is used to activate the squadron name display on the loadout screen.

*Note: must have SF2:V as part of your merged install to access the A-1H aircraft itself.*
 
This skin/decal pak represents VA-115 "Arabs" during their Oct 1965-June 1966 deployment in South East Asia aboard USS Kitty Hawk. It represents the experimantal 2-tone green camoflague use during that cruise.

The skin is in jpg format, and decal randomization is TRUE. I've also included a new, fully updated data ini, that has all the corrected lighting and so forth. Canopy and wingfold operation are the Standard Keystrokes (shift/0 canopy, shift/9 wingfold). Be advised, folding the wings with ordanance loaded, the items don't move with it. Also included are new sounds for flaps, gear and engine.
The skin uses the SF2 "date switch statement" that will (hopefully!) turn it on in October 1965.
What is NOT included are the cockpit or other items that make it flyable. You should have these already. If not, what are you waiting for???

All missions are in order, and it is up to your honor only to proceed to the next one only after having won the current mission. Of course, they are all fun and can be easily be played out of the story.
 
As always, PLEASE read this enclosed readme for full, detailed install instructions. Give the "Note" section a read too, for well, notes!
 
Good luck and good flying!

XvT/BoP: Independant Operation: A Pirate Dawn 10/20/2015
 
(works with original CD version and new GoG version)
 
For XvT =w/Bop= Addon, or the new GoG version
 
As the old Republic crumbles, its pieces absorbed into the newer and more powerful Empire...as brave refugees of the remnant governments band together into a desperate Rebel Alliance...as the two forces join in battle after battle for the hearts and souls of the galaxy, more rational minds produce better ideas for taking advantage of the situation.
 
Thieves, murderers, and other criminals -- once guilty in the eyes of the Old Republic -- find freedom in the New Era as pirates preying on Rebel and Imperial alike. Forming their own underground societies and putting into power their own merciless masters, the pirates profit off the chaos and lawlessness allowed by the Galactic Civil War.
 
You are a member of one of these vicious bands. Unwilling to fly for the Imperial governors and unbelieving in the cause of the Alliance, you instead put your valuable piloting skills to use participating in the operations of The Cat Clan. You know that the riches, power, and glory you desire can be best attained as one of these heartless killers...as one of these honorless robbers...as one of these pirates.
 
As always, PLEASE read this enclosed readme for full, detailed install instructions. Give the "Note" section a read too, for well, notes!

XvT/BoP - Imperial Operation: Heading to the Unknown
 
For XvT =WITH= BoP addon (original CD) or the newer GoG version
 
Grand Admiral Thrawn, after crushing the traitorous Admiral Zaarin, and
his defecting officers, was ordered by the Emperor himself to enter
the Gammanck Regions at the far eastern arm of the galaxy, far from Coruscant, at the edge of the Unknown Region. Grand Admiral Thrawn assembled his fleet at the Rneekii systems, because Rneekiis had been moving their people, leaving the Outer Rim Territories to fortify themselves far from Imperial interference, and because they boardered the Gammanck, no one knows better the entrance than them.
 
Sometime before the "Enemies of the Empire", the Emperor sent Admiral
Bulcon and a small force to bring Imperial control to this Unknown
Gammanck Region, but he never reported back. Grand Admiral Thrawn was sent to rescue Bulcon and his fleet if he is yet alive.
 
As always, =PLEASE= read the install instructions. Also, the original builders and my notes at the bottom!
 
Get to your ships Pilots!

SF2 Avro VZ-9 Aerocar Pak 10/15/2015
 
= For SF2 (Any & All, Full 4/5 Merged Reccomended)
 
A "What If" aircraft for you enjoyment.
 
** Can be used in any install that has access to the A-4B & A-4E Skyhawks hence the need for either a Full 4 or Full 5 Merged Install, as both these cockpits are refrenced for the 2 aircraft. Also, serial number decals from the CF-104 and F-105D are used. You must have these aircraft to gain access to the various bits.**
 
Some reworking of Simon Porter's Avro Aerocar from 2005, brings it (pretty much!) up to SF2 standards. Be advised, however, there are still a few small issues; most of which stem from the fact the aircraft is one continious mesh, with no sub meshes. This is the main reason that most markings are painted on. See "Change Log" for details.
 
This pack contains 2 aircraft, and is based on the assumption (oh! that word!) the major bugs had been worked out, and it entered service with the RCAF and USAF for use as a battlefield scout and light attack aircraft.
 
Aerocar Mk.I (VZ-9A) with 2 skins (1959 start date):
 
RCAF
USAF
both in NM finish
 
Aerocar Mk.III (VZ-9C) with 4 skins (1965 start date):
 
RCAF
USAF (both early, in NM)
RCAF_L (late, overall dark green ala CF-104)
USAFCamo (USAF Camo SEA T.O. 1-1-4)
 
The 2 late skins the C use the SF2 "date switch" and will turn on in 1966 (USAFCamo) and 1973 (RCAF_L).
 
All stock items are used, from cockpits, pilots, weapons, sounds, decal and whatnots. The other add-on items (fake pilot, radar pod, pylons) are included. While skins remain in bmp format, damage textures are in DDS.
 
When in-game, you'll see on the Aircraft Selection Drop-down...
 
VZ-9A Aerocar (Mk.I)
and
VZ-9C Aerocar (Mk.III)
 
As always, fairly easy to follow, detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them. Simon Porter's original readme is included for historical purposes.
 
Happy Landings

SF2 Tu-114 Cleat (Airliner) Remod Pak 10/4/2015
 
= For SF2, Full 5 Merged RECCOMENDED! =
 
*Note: this aircraft replaces, in total, the one included in the SF2 Soviet Transport and AWAC Aircraft uploaded in 2013. If you have the Tu-114 from that pack, you are advised to DELETE that aircraft completely, otherwise there will be conflicts and complications. If you don't have it, don't worry! Also, this mod will most likely =NOT= work in 1stGen games at any patch level.*
 
This is a (nearly) complete rebuild of the Tu-114 airliner (NATO codename "Cleat") as seen in the above mentioned mod pack. It has been (nearly) completely overhauled, and is designed mainly to have something other that the usual An-12s and Li-2s (C-47) seen parked around your Red Airfields ™.
See "Change List" in the Notes section for all the changes and fixes.
 
All new decals, with 12 historical Aeroflot/Soviet registration numbers were created. All markings are decals and decal randomization is TRUE. The skin is now in jpg format.
 
On the Aircraft Selection drop-down, you'll see
 
Tu-114 Cleat
 
As always, fairly easy to follow, detailed install instructions are included. PLEASE read them!!! Also, give the "Notes" section a read, in particular on Operational Usage.

SF2 Tu-95 Bear-A Remod Pak 10/4/2015
 
= For SF2, Full 5 Merged RECCOMENDED! =
 
*NOTE: due to excessive changes and additions, this mod will =NOT= work in 1stGen games at any patch level*
This is a Re-release/Re-mod of Veltro2k's Soviet Cold War Heavy Bomber aircraft, originally released in 2008.
 
This pack represents the 'standard' Tu-95 Bear-A "conventional" level bomber (yes, it can carry one nuke -not supplied).
 
The skin remains in its original bmp format and all markings are decals. All decals used reference stock 3W Soviet markings (thus, the NON inclusion of any decals). Decal randomization is TRUE.
The inis has been completely revamped, with a "new" FM, avionics, loadouts, sounds, new pilot figures, and an "new" cockpit. The cockpit, while not a perfect match, is much closer to the "steam gauge" Bear pit of the era. See "Notes" section for full change list.
 
On the Aircraft Selection drop-down, you'll see
 
Tu-95M Bear-A (v2k)
 
This will make it easier to select, and diferentiate it from any other Bear-As that might be wandering around in your backyard.
 
As always, fairly easy to follow, detailed install instructions are included. PLEASE read them!!! Also, give the "Notes" section a read, in particular on Operational Usage.
For those that may still have the original release (from 2008), as there HAVE been major changes and additions you may want to delete said original in it's entirety.
 
**This aircraft herein are released in "AS IS" Condition. Any and all issues/problems that cannot be solved via ini edits will exist forever, unless a newer model (LOD) become available**.
 
Happy Landings!
