SF2 WW2 ETO Republic P-47D "Bubbletop" Thunderbolt (0.5 Beta) 12/15/2014
 
= For SF2 (Full4/5 Merged RECCOMENDED!)
 
*This mod will =NOT= work in SF/Wo* 1stGen game installs. It was built for SF2 ONLY!!.*
 
This is a BRAND NEW aircraft, brought to you by Cocas Aircraft Factory & Co.
We are calling this "version 0.5 beta", as there are a few minor issues with the LOD, and
these will repaired as Real Life ™ allows. But, we wanted to get them out into the
hands of our WW2 End Users ™ for their examinations and so forth. See Notes below for a
more detailed explanation.
 
REMINDER: this pack contains ETO Bubbletop Jugs =ONLY=!!! Other theatres/users will follow
as time permits, and as they are completed.
 
This pak contains, as stated above, a NEW aircraft, representing the Bubbletop P-47D (-25
thru -30-ish) Thunderbolt as seen in late 1943 through war's end.
Skins included are:
 
8th AF
56th Fighter Group :
 
61st FS (early 44, OD/G)
62nd FS (mid/late 44-45), camo)
63rd FS (sometime in 44, NM)
 
and
 
9th AF:
379th FS, 362nd FG (full D-Day markings, NM)
 
All markings are decals. Decal randomization is set to TRUE.
Please note, Squadron or Group specific markings -ARE- painted on, as are the Invasion
Stripes. There are some nose arts.
 
All the 1stGen Hangar and/or Loading screens were either rebuilt to SF2-spec, or created
new for this package. They are in jpg format, and fit SF2 formatting. Damage textures are
also new, in DDS format. There are 2 different Loading Screens, and you can swap them as
you see fit.
The canopy opens/closes with the Standard Animation Keystroke ™, Shift/0
Pilots, sounds, weapons are all included.
Templates for this aircraft ARE included, for those skinners that wish to do other units,
or other theatres, or Allied users (and see my appeal in the "Notes" section <grin>). The
template is in the main zip of the package, so don't forget to move it OUT of your mods
folder or things might get confusing!
 
As there are several P-74D Bubbletops available, when in game you'll see:
 
P-47D-20 Thunderbolt (CAF)
 
on the aircraft selection dropdown menu. This will diferentiate it from any others that
you may (or may not) have.
As some units are repeated, those with the mods I built for Wolf's Jugs, can choose to
keep those, or remove them to storage.
 
As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. PLEASE
read them!!! Also, as usual, give the "Notes" section a read, too.
 
Happy Landings!

SF2 Post-War TB-25J Mitchell Pak 4/5/2015
 
-- Something just for fun! --
 
= For SF2 ONLY, Full-5 Merged (Reccomended/Preferred) =
 
**Note: This mod references the stock destroyed Il-28. Also, due to modifications to various inis, this mod will -NOT- work in 1stGen game installs at any patch level. This has not/cannot/will not be tested by me.**
 
This little mod represents TB-25J (glass nosed) Mitchells in serivce with the USAF in the post-WW2 time frame. Many of these aircraft were retained and converted to personal transports, navigational & multi-engine trainers, or squadron 'hacks' up until the late 1950s. The aircraft is completely unarmed. However, "those that know how" can readily turn the aircraft to it's original status and function. (see Notes for details).
 
The aircraft is finished in Natural Metal (withOUT the late 50s white fues top or black "anti-soot" nacelles), and carries standard post-1947 USAF marking, including Buzz Numbers. The skin is in jpg format and all markings are decals. Decal Randomization is TRUE. Engine sounds, pilot figures, and a "couple of other things" are included.
 
When in game, you'll see
 
TB-25J Mitchell (v2k)
 
on the Aircraft Selection Drop down menu. This will differentiate it from any other B-25s you may (or may not) have. (even though there ARE no other TB-25s!!)
 
As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. PLEASE read them!!!
Remember, an aircraft like this one, saved the world from The Giant Claw!!!

SF2 Westland Wyvern S.4 Tweeks Pak 4/4/2015
 
= For SF2, Full-5 Merged (Reccomended/Preferred) =
 
A small modification/Tweeks pack for Skippybings' Westland Wyvern S.4 Royal Navy turboprop attack aircraft.
This is =NOT= the full aircraft, nor does it contain the beautiful skin/decals pack by paulopanz (which is a HIGHLY reccomended add-on!). This is just a set of inis, and new Hangar & Loading screens.
 
The inis contain minor tweeks and a new anti-ship loadout (torpedo); other loadouts have been adjusted for more striking power and/or extended range and loiter time. Most other stuff remains "as issued". See "Notes" for full change list.
 
Obviously, you MUST have the Wyvern aircraft in you mods folder before installing this tweeks pack. <g>

SF2 KAW Hawker Sea Fury (SB) Pack 4/4/2015
 
= For SF2, Full-5 Merged (Reccomended/Preferred) =
 
*Note: There is a distinct probability that this mod will =NOT= work in SF/Wo* 1stGen game installs at any patch level. End Users ™ that attempt it, do so at their own risk. A Full 5 Merged install is reccomened at the LATEST patch level.*
 
This package contains a NEW aircraft for SF2, the Hawker Sea Fury FB.11 by Skippybing. We've been waiting a long time for this, and through the work of some damn good people, finally have it operaional for the game.
 
Skins included are for the following units:
 
FAA:
801 (HMS Glory, 1951 -with stripes)
802 (HMS Theseus, early 1951 -no stripes)
807 (HMS Ocean, 1952, -wth stripes)
 
RAN:
805 (HMAS Sydney)
 
All skins are in bmp format, and Decal Randomization is TRUE. All markings are decals (from PauloPanz' excellent upgrade of the orginal Sea Fury by Simon Porter). This will allow for easy creation of other FAA or other countries markings (as long as it's in the standard FAA camo). The usual 'box art' hangar screen is included, revamped for SF2.
 
Canopy and wingfold operate via the 'standard animation keystrokes' (shift/0 for the window, and Shift/9 for the wings). Weapons are NOT included (all those used are in the KAW weapons pak), other than the drop tank. However, the pilot figure and AvHistory engine sound is.
 
For the skinners, I've included the partial template I had to create. Those with the talent, time and inclination are encourged to expand my work, and use it to create other the countries and squadron users various paint schemes. The user list included has almost all listed. Expansion there is also encouraged. The template folder itself, as you'll see after unzipping, is OUTSIDE the to-be-installed /Objects folder. Put it somewheres safe, eh?
 
As an extra added bonus, some ships. HMAS Sydney, from eburger's SF2NA CV SuperPack is included for the RAN flyers. It's had a few minor changes. See notes for details.
Also, My "stand in" Tribal DD, with expanded userlist and some minor corrections (also usable for WW2!!). As well as RAN "Battle" class DDs, stand-ins bases off Stephan1918s V/W class DDs (closest fit), for you Battle Grouping pleasure.
 
When in-game, on the aircraft selection menu you'll see:
 
Sea Fury FB.11 [sb]
 
This not only tags is as "skippybing", but will diferentiate it from Simon Porter's older one.
 
As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them. Also, take note of the "Legal and Usage Disclaimer', it's been changed for this aircraft.

SF2 KAW Fleet Air Arm "What If" Aircraft Pack 3/30/2015
 
*For SF2 -ONLY-!! Full-5 Merged Reccomended*
 
This package contains 2 "What If..." aircraft as used (???) by the Royal Navy's Fleet Air Arm during the Korean War.
They are:
 
Hawker Seahawk F.1A
898 NAS, HMS Ocean
 
Vought Corsair Mk.V (F4U-4B)
1841 NAS, HMS Theseus
1830 NAS, HMS Glory (1953)
 
The Seahawk has gotten a major revamp from the very old 1stGen version released several thousand years ago. It should be noted at this time, the Seahawk has "some issues" on recovering back on the boat. See Notes for more info. Hopefully, someone can fix this.
It also gets a 'new' cockpit, courtesy of Stary.
The Corsair has 2 skins, both with Korean era "invasion stripes", but 1841 NAS is in USN DGNB. Essentialy, a RN marked USN bird, carrying UK ordanance (ok, the 60# rockets). 1830 NAS has been repainted to "standard" FAA camo (grey uppers, "sky" unders). The SF2 date switch is NOT used for either of these skins. Both use the same pools of decals.
On all skins, all markings are decals. Recal randomization is set to "TRUE"
 
When in-game, on the aircraft selection drop down you'll see:
 
Corsair Mk.V
SeaHawk F.1A
 
Weapons, pilots, and such are provided for the Seahawk. With the exception of a 'new' rocket rack for the Corsair, it reuses most everything already in the KAW Weapons Pack.
As all markings are decals; this is make it easy for other texture artists to change the ship ID letter, and create other fictional squadrons.
For the Corsair only, the Standarn Animation Keystrokes are used for wingfold and canopy (Shift/9 & Shift/0). The Seahawks have no working canopy or wingfolds (it's an old model, what can I say?).
The Seahawk also gets new DDS damage textures, and many smaller 'tweeks' (again, see Notes below).
 
As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. PLEASE read them!!! Also, as usual, give the "Notes and Comments" section a read, too. In the Seahawk's aircraft folder, is my original (2008) what-if readme.

Israel 2 Terrain (ver 4.1) Upgrade/Update for SF2 3/28/2015
 
= For SF2, Any and All (Full 5 Merged RECCOMENDED!!!) =
 
**Note: this terrain replaces any and all previous versions!!**
 
This is an (almost) complete rebuild of my 2008 build of Gepard's Israel 2 terrain. The
terrain has been 90% retiled to more match the stock IsraelME and my "Eastern Med"
terrains. However, the farm and city tiles remain in their original 'desert' style. All
other tiles have been replaced. The target areas have, for the most part, been rebuilt,
enhanced and/or expanded. As is to be expected, several new tiles, and their associated
TODs had to be created.
It is designed to be used =ONLY= in the SF2:I environment.
 
The addon terrain objects have been kept to a minimum (no, not really!). Stock in-game
items have been used in most cases, although some additional structrues HAVE been added.
Add-on GroundObjects, while heavily listed in the _Types.ini, have been kept to as small
an amount as possible.
I've included =SOME= of the Ground Objects needed but NOT all of them. Its up to the End
User ™ to make sure that you have the theatre-specific (read: Israeli and Arab nations)
proper items. That means, I've given you no AAAs/SAMs/Radars, Tanks, SPGs, ships, etc (and
any associated guns/weapons they'd require).
 
Geophysical Disclaimer: some rivers and other water features may not follow their Real
Life ™ courses, be placed in their Real Life ™ locations, or exist at all. Several
cities and other physical features, and target areas will also fall into that
classification. Some target areas (cities, etc) exist only as named places, even if they
might have had strategic or tactical values (most don't!). Just someplace to fly over.
 
When in game, you'll see:
 
"Isreal 2 (Full Scale)"
 
Limited Nations is set to TRUE, and only contains regional states. This terrain is =NOT=
carrier capable in =any= SF2 Environment (see notes - and I don't know why!).
 
As always, unzip this to a temp folder or your desktop, and you'll have access to the rest
of the readme for it's instructions. It's reccomended (ie: REQUIRED!!!) you read the
document through after unzipping, but before installing.
As always, the Notes and Other Nonsense section may make for entertaining (and essential!) reading.

SF2 WW2 MTO Fiat G-55 by Veltro2K 3/25/2015
 
= For SF2, Full 5 Merged RECCOMENDED! =
 
This is a Re-release of the Veltro2k's WW2 Italian Fighter.
 
This is a fairly "quick and dirty" upgrade for Veltro's Fiat G-55 Centauro. It's been given a "new" FM, but as always, will need some fine tuning.
 
I've split the 2 skins, into "before and after" the Italian surrender of 1943. You have:
 
51 Stormo, RA (circa mid-1943)
 
Squadriglia Montefusco, ANR (post 10/1943 -- although the paint scheme is more in Luftwaffe style)
 
I did NOT use the SF2 "date switch" for these.
 
*Please note that the Aeronautica Nazionale Repubblicana, is =NOT= on the existing ww2 Nations.ini. Nor is the Allied-aligned Aviazione Cobelligerante Italiana. If you want, you'll have to create the new nations yourselves. See "Notes" below.*
 
Skins remain in their bmp format, and decal radomization is set to TRUE. New damage textures are supplied, in DDS format. My standard "box art" style hangar and loading screens are also included. And, thanks to Mue's Lod viewer, I've exported a lined map psd for those wishing to attempt to create other skins. This should give you a base to draw new panel and rivet lines.
A userlist ini was created, but is incomplete (most post-war versions were Merlin powered).
Included are a pilot figure, AvHistory engine sound, and a new drop tank. All other weapons you should have in the WW2 weapons pack (it uses LW bombs, until we get freeware Italian ones)
The canopy open/closes with the Standard Animation Keystroke ™ (shift/0).
 
As always, fairly easy to follow, detailed install instructions are included. PLEASE read them!!! Give the "Notes" section a glance, as well.
 
** The aircraft herein is released in "AS IS" Condition. Any and all issues/problems that cannot be solved via ini edits will exist forever, or until such time as if/when new models are created and released.***

XvT/BoP Alliance Operation "Battles in the Outer Rim Territories"
 
For XvT =WITH= BoP addon (original CD) or the new GoG version
 
ORT provides over eighty new missions over five new tours of duty. The timeline is from approximately Hoth to the Battle of Endor (sorry, on 2nd Death Star runs, but the aftermath of), and into the post-Imperial era, and the formation of the New Republic.
 
These have been converted for use in XvT/BoP, in BoP format due to the need for BWs and other ships only available there. All stock ships are used, so no ship patch is requried (other than having the BoP addon if using the XWCD. The new GoG versions already have what's needed).
In many of the missions, you'll be able to fly more than one flight of starfighter. In later missions, (post-Hoth) CM pods have been pre-loaded.
 
As always, =PLEASE= read the install instructions. Also, the original builders and my notes at the bottom! The large(ish) description, from the original 1990s readme, is located at the bottom of this document.

Multi-layered PDS format templates. There is only one template for the wings (Left Wing), as the right and left wings are mapped identically.
 
Be adivised, that if NOT in natural metal finish (say, a camo of some kind), the right lower aileron is NOT mapped correctly. There are several skins now available that show how to correct this (ie: via a decal). The right aileron psd is also provided.

XvT/BoP Imperial Mission Set "Fall of the Empire"
 
(works with original CD version and new GoG version)
 
For XvT w/Bop Addon, or GoG version -no ship patch required
 
These are to be used/placed into your ...Balance of Power/Combat folder.
We have 3 interrelated mission sets, now combined (sort of!) into one, providing a coherent story line.
The 3 sets are broken down as follows (from the original readme, circa 199-something!):
 
=======================================================================
(This tour of duty takes place right after Enemies of the Empire in TF.)
=======================================================================
Fall of the Empire: Part I --
Grand Admiral Thrawn, after crushing the traitorous Admiral Zaarin,
decides to transfers a division of his best pilots from his fleet
to a NL-2. Outpost NL-2 was just constructed in the remote sectors
of the Pakuuni System. Currently the only personnel aboard NL-2 are
a skeleton crew under the command of Commander Gaver.
Grand Admiral Thrawn was also given secondary orders by the Emperor
himself. As Thrawn prepares his fleet for the Unknown Regions, a
battle is raging in another part of the galaxy far, far away...
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Fall of the Empire: Part II --
It is a dark time for the Empire, with the loss of the second Death Star and of Emperor Palpatine. Thousands upon thousands of worlds are rebelling against the Empire.
Word has spread fast of the Emperor's death, as well as the Alliance's victory at Endor. As seen in the Pakuuni Star Systems, strong Imperial Outposts are being lost.
Imperial Forces in the Outer Rim are being driven back to the Core Worlds. There, the Imperials are reorganizing the Empire before it crumbles to ruins...
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Fall of the Empire Part III --
It has been several months since the Empire's defeat at Endor,
and already the Empire is loosing its grip on the galaxy.
 
Under the command of new Imperial Leader, Grand Moff Selit, the
Empire may still have a chance at regain its former glory.
However Selit's plans may have to remain on hold. Evidence has been
found showing that the Alliance has secrets of their own...
------------------------------------------------------------
 
Many of these missions have additional goals, messages (which are often used as in-game hints), and various "eye candy" added. The original conversion (XvT/BoP) set required a ship patch to add some of the larger starships; it has been re-edited to use ALL stock craft.
 
As always, =PLEASE= read this enclosed readme for full, detailed install instructions. Give the "Note" section a read too, for well, notes!

Imperial Historical Training Missions
 
= For XvT, with BoP add on (REQUIRED!!) =
 
(Works with original XvT/BoP CD and GoG versions)
 
This is a set of 20 Imperial "Historical" training missions.
You may recognize them from TIE Fighter CD or the recently released GoG Win7 TF versions. It should also be noted, several of these DO already exist (in some form or another) in the Stock XvT/BoP Training missions.
 
They have been converted to run in XvT with the BoP add on, as several things have been modified from their original 1990s release, and several ships required ARE only in the BoP add on (the B-Wing being the most important!).
Also, there are =NO= missions that use the TIE Defender or Missile Boat. These HAVE been converted, but are not included until we can be sure a ship patch will work on the new GoG version. When (and if) that happens, those 8 missions will be released as an add-on to these.
 
These are to be used/placed into your ...Balence of Power/Train folder. As these ARE training missions, and not (really!) full combat.
 
Many of these missions have additional goals, messages (which are sometimes used as in-game hints), and "eye candy" added. I've tried, as much as possible, to keep the "feel" of the originals.
 
As always, PLEASE read this enclosed readme for full, detailed install instructions. Give the "Note" section a read too, for well, notes!

XvT-BoP Mission Pak - Rebel Operation: Wolf Pack
 
*Note: these missions have been converted to BoP format. This is required, due to some of the ships needed for them are NOT in "standard" XvT. No ship patch or other mods are needed*
 
This is an 11 mission campaign for Xwing vs Tie fighter.
 
Introduction:
Green Squadron flees the destruction of the Rebel Base at Hoth to the Sigma sector to raid Imperial shipping. Here it is hoped they can regroup, refit, contact other fleeing Rebel forces, and continue the Fight for Freedom in the Galaxy.
This sector of the Empire is far removed from the front lines. This should be an easy (read: safe) hunting ground.
Many of these missions have additional goals, messages (which are sometimes used as in-game hints), and "eye candy" added.

The Liberator is an independent operations frigate. It's new tour is a nearly year convoy raiding mission into the Outer Rim Territories.
These missions are in BoP format, so that's required. No other ship patch or mods are needed (At least for the new GoG versions).

X-Wing vs Tie Fighter, Balance of Power Mission Set
"Headhunter Tour of Duty"
 
The Headhunter Tour of Duty follows the exploits of Bronze Squadron.
 
Bronze Squadron has no permanent base and limited resources. "Living off the land" requires that they have a strong mobile core. The squadron is based around a few Old Republic Dreadnoughts and a variety of captured equipment. While Bronze Squadron has a few modern
fighters, the bulk of its force is made up of older models such as the Y-Wing and Z-95 Headhunters.
Help Bronze Squadron fight the Empire in the Outer Rim.

SF2 WW2 ETO, "D-Day" Spitfire IX Blank Skin set 1/12/2015
 
-- Something for the WW2 ETO players --
 
= For SF2, Full-5 Merged (w/whichever Expansion Pak gave us the Spitfire IXc) =
 
Using my Home Grown Templates ™ for the stock 3rd Wire Spirfire 9c, this skin set adds the D-Day Invasion stripes set.
This is a "blank" skin, with no marking other than the Invasion Stripes, and can be used with any of the available decal sets for the stock Mk.IXc AND Mk.IXe. A simple rename of the textures will allow it's usage on either one. See "Notes" for more details.
 
The stripes represented here are the 'full' set, top/bottom of wings and fully wrapping around the fuselage, as used from June 6, 1944 to approx September 44 (ish). The Sky ID band has been omitted, although photographic evidence exists of it having been used, even with the Invasion stripes. Yellow wing IFF bands remain.
 
REMINDER-- this is not a 'full' ready-to-use skin pak. The folder is just named "DDAY" for convience. You'll have to create specifically named skin folders (ie: 411-DDay, for example) for proper, historical usage.
 
There is no decals or texture set inis included -- however, a "base" texture set showing the in-game labeling is included, but NOT usable per se. It's just there to show how to set the Displayed Name labeling.
As the mapping for both the 9c and 9e is identical, as are their respective decal positions, any of the existing Spifire 9 decal sets can be reused with this skin.
 
As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. So, please =READ= them !!!.

SF2 WW2 MTO Spitfire Mk.IX, Polish Fighting Team Skinpak 1/8/2015
 
-- Something for the Med players --
 
= For SF2, Full-5 Merged (Reccomended/Preferred) =
 
*This mod will NOT work in SF/Wo* 1stGen game installs, at any patch level. One should also have the SF2I expansion pak, that gave us the Spitfires, as this mod REQUIRES the 3W Spitfire Mk.IX,
 
This package contains a new skin for MTO (specificly Tunisian) based RAF Spitfire Mk.IXs. It represents
 
"C" Flight, No. 145 Squadron, aka "Polish Fighting Team"
 
All marking are decals, and decal randomization is TRUE for the 16 plane-in-squadron and serial number decals. Serial numbers marked with a star (*) are 100% historically matched to their plane-in-squadron number. Those marked with a cross (+, ok the plus sign!), while having served with the PFT, could not be matched to a specific aircraft. Those without any markings, are 'generic'. It should be noted, that the PFT used numbers, instead of letter for their individual IDs.
Please note, this is just the skin/decal set. I've not included any of the bits needed to make the aircraft Player Flyable ™. There's plenty of other mods that do this.
 
When in game, on the Loadout Screen, you'll see
 
Polish Fighting Team (145 Sqdn)
 
in the upper right skin selection drop down.
 
As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them.

SF2 WW2 MTO Spitfire Mk.V LF Pak by Cocas & Co 12/28/2014
 
-- Something for the Med players --
 
= For SF2, Full-5 Merged (Reccomended/Preferred) =
 
*This mod will NOT work in SF/Wo* 1stGen game installs, at any patch level. One should also have the SF2I expansion pak, that gave us the Spitfires, as this mod references that stock 3W destroyed Spitfire model*
Note x2: This mod represents Mk.V LFs in the MTO =ONLY=. Please note, it is NOT a Trop!
 
This is a BRAND NEW aircraft, brought to you by Cocas Aircraft Factory & Co.
We are calling this "version 0.9", as there exists the possibility of more work being required. But, we wanted to get them out into the hands of our WW2 End Users ™ for their examination and so forth. It was supposed to be released in the early part of 2014 (Feb/March), but I totally forgot about it!!
Skins included with the package are:
RAF:
 
No. 601 Squadron
 
All marking are decals, and decal randomization is TRUE. Other squadrons can easily be done by creating new squadron code letters. An SF2 version of my "box art" style hangar is included.
The serial numbers, while 'generic' in nature (representing no particular aircraft in any given squadron), ARE correct for the variant depicted.
The canopy operates via the Standard Animation Keystroke ™, Shift/0. Guns are also grouped, MGs in Group 1, the cannon in Group 2.
 
When in game, you'll see:
 
Spitfire Mk.Vc LF (CAF)
 
on the aircraft selection dropdown menu. This will diferentiate =THIS= Spitfire from any other LF Mk.Vs you may (or may not) have.
 
As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them.
