SF2 WW2 ETO Spitfire Mk.V LF Pak by Cocas Aircraft Factory & Co 12/28/2014
 
-- Something for the ETO 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 from Northern Europe =ONLY=!
 
This is a BRAND NEW aircraft, brought to you by Cocas Aircraft Factory & Co. This is the "clipped wing" version of the Spitfire Mk.V.
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. 402 Squadron "City of Winnipeg" (RCAF)
No. 610 Squadron "County of Chester"
 
All marking are decals, and decal randomization is TRUE. Other squadrons can easily be done by creating new squadron code letters. SF2 versions of my "box art" style hangar and loading screens are included.
All aircraft use a "pool" of plane-in-group letters, and serial numbers. 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 Mk.Vs you may (or may not) have.
The Skin template is also inculded, for anyone wishing to correct any/all errors I've made.
 
As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them.
 
Good Hunting!

SF2 Korean War Era AD-4NL Skyraider (3W) Ver 4.0 12/28/2014
 
= For SF2, Full-5 Merged (Reccomended/Preferred) =
 
**Full 5 URGED, due to use of some SF2NA coding! As this mod references the stock 3rd Wire Skyraider, you =MUST= have SF2:V as part of your merged install. If you don't, this mod will not work.**
 
This is a 'new' version of the AD-4NL Skyraider, built from the 3W A-1H. It is designed to replace completly any & all earlier versions built from MontyCZ's Skyraider.
It's your choice (the End User) if you wish to keep or delete the early version.
 
This mod represents AD-4NL's from VC-35 "Night Hecklers". The squadron was deployed in various "Dets" of 2-4 aircraft aboard almost all USN Carriers during the Korean Conflict. This is designed for a stand-alone KAW mods folder, but can be used in any Full-5 merged install. However, several SF2NA only statements are included, and may only fully work in that environment.
 
The aircraft is fully carrier-capable; after all, it's built from a Stock 3W carrier bird!
All markings are decals, and decal randomization is TRUE.
All the necessary weapons, effects, sounds and etc are included, as is the NEW Skyraider cockpit by Dels. Those with the MCZ version will note they are all the same, but included for ease of installation.
Standard Animations keystrokes are used for the canopy (Shift/0) and wingfold (shift/9). However, due to some "malfunction", don't fold the wings with ordenance loaded. They won't follow it!
 
As always, fairly easy to follow, highly detailed install instructions are included. So, PLEASE read them!!!!
Also, give the "Notes" section a read too. There is important information on Night Operations (what VC-35 specalized in).
 
Good Hunting!

SF2 WW2 IJN CVL Zuihio Class 12/26/2014
 
= For SF2 (Full5 Merged RECCOMENDED!)
 
*This mod is set up with some SF2NA coding. Use in other envrionments is "at your own risk*
 
This is a version of Hinchbrooks IJN Zuiho class light carrier.
As some have found the original 1stGen version is "faulted", I hope this will be better for you all.
Mind you, it's NOT fully converted, as the "parking slots" have not been plotted. Some of the muzzle positions for the 25mm AA batteries are not near the muzzles themselves.
But this will give you an operational IJN light carrier. All the "needed" files for use in the SF2NA enviroment are included (inis, "collision lod", etc).
 
As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. PLEASE read them!!!

All markings are decals, and Decal randomization is TRUE.
The aircraft is finished in Overall Natural Metal, with "new style" Southwest Pacfic markings as of mid-1944. These are the pre-war style red rudder stripes, with a blue leading edge on the Rudder.

This pak contains 2 complete aircraft, representing the Razorback P-47D-2/D-10 in early/mid 1943, and the later D-15 thru D-20 Razorback Thunderbolt as seen in late 1943 (November-ish) through (nearly the) war's end, in the SoWesPac regions of the PTO (read: 5th AF).
 
Skin(s) included are:
 
P-47D-5 (early model):
340th FS, 348th FG (SWP, mid-1943 scheme w/star-and-ball)
 
P-47D-20 (later model):

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 styling. Damage textures are also new, in DDS format.
The canopy opens/closes with the Standard Animation Keystroke ™, Shift/0
Pilots, sounds, weapons are all included.
Templates for this aircraft will be issued as a seperate release, for those skinners that wish to do other units/theatres.

P-47D-20 Thunderbolt (CAF)
 
on the aircraft selection dropdown menu. This will diferentiate it from any others that are around (Wolf or DAT).
For those with the SWP/PTO Razorback mods I've done for Wolf's P-47, this mod is designed to compliment, NOT replace it. However... it's your choice to keep them or not.

*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 0.9", 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 examinations and so forth.
 
REMINDER: this pack contains MTO Jugs only!!! Other theatres/users will follow as time permits, and as they are completed.
 
This pak contains a NEW model, representing the Razorback P-47D Thunderbolt in the MTO as seen in late 1943 through war's end.
 
Skins included are:
 
15th AF:
 
317th FS, 325th FG - this is withOUT the Checkertail markings
317th FS, 325th FG - this is WITH the Checkertail marking; called "317FS_L"
 
The "L (or Late)" skin uses the SF2 'start date switch', to turn on automatically in April, 1944. By this time, they had finished painting all the checks on all the tails of all the planes in all the 325th's squadrons. These were carried until the Group converted to Mustangs (and had to start all over painting the checks again!!).
 
The aircraft is finished in standard OD/Grey, with MTO theatre markings on the cowl.
All markings are decals; excepting the 325th Checkertail and MTO theatre markings; these are painted on. Decal randomization is set to TRUE.
There is one base set of decals for both skins. As this is for just one squadron, it makes for a sligtly smaller up/down load package.
There -are- some nose arts, and you'll find them listed with the individual aircraft number drop down on the Loadout Screen. They are matched to their 'plane-in-squadron' Battle Number.
Damage textures are new, in DDS format. The Hangar Screen is a rather 'generic' type.
The canopy opens/closes with the Standard Animation Keystroke ™, Shift/0
Pilots, sounds, weapons are all included.
 
Templates for this aircraft will be issued as a seperate release, for those skinners that wish to do other units for other theatres or Allied users.
 
As there are several P-74D Razorbacks 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 are around (Wolf or DAT).

SF2 WW2 ETO Republic P-47D "Razorback" Thunderbolt Replacement Data Ini 12/23/2014

*This mod will =NOT= work in SF/Wo* 1stGen game installs. It was built for SF2 ONLY!!.*
 
Replacement data ini for the Cocas Aircraft Factory P-47D Razorback. The aircraft is available here:
 
http://combatace.com/files/file/15199-sf2-ww2-eto-republic-p-47d-razorback-thunderbolt-by-cocas/
 
The full package is also getting the update. So, for that that have downloaded it already, use THIS data in.
For that that haven't downloaded the aircraft yet, it will be included in the updated version (and what's stopping you from getting it???)
All follow on Razorback mods (PTO, MTO, and maybe CBI) will incorporate this data ini.
 
This FM has been slightly refined, and these fixes should (almost) stop the "tail stall" and end-to-end flip. Again, while not perfect, this is a bit better. Further refinements by Experts are most heartly requested!! (Roll rates may still be a little low, as well)
 
As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. PLEASE read them!!! And, apologies for the inconvience!

*This mod will =NOT= work in SF/Wo* 1stGen game installs. It was built for SF2 ONLY!!.*

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 examinations and so forth.
 
REMINDER: this pack contains ETO 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 Razorback P-47D (-5 thru -20) Thunderbolt as seen in late 1943 through war's end.
Skins included are:
 
56th Fighter Group (8th AF):
 
61st FS
62nd FS
63rd FS
 
and
 
377th FS, 362nd FG (9th AF)
 
All markings are decals; this will allow super easy creation of other squadrons by simply creating a new SCode decal, although those with a purer historical heart will also have to run down the matching serial numbers for their decal creation. Decal randomization is set to TRUE.
Please note, Squadron or Group specific markings -ARE- painted on.
The mod has the correct nose arts, matched to plane-in-squadron letter and serial numbers for the 61st FS only. However, the serials for the 62nd & 63rd ARE matched to their plane-in-squadron letter. They have no nose arts. Any marked with a star (*) ARE correct for their squadron, but could not be 100% matched to a particular aircraft.
 
The 61st carries the mid-to-late 43 style of QIMs, and the other 2 (62 & 63) have the 1944 style used the 56th, including the squadron colored tails.
The 377th is in natural metal, and has full D-Day markings. Included is a post-September 44 skin, with D-Day stripes -only- on the bottom. Those serials should be considered "generic" in nature, but ARE for the correct model variant.
 
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 styling. Damage textures are also new, in DDS format.
The canopy opens/closes with the Standard Animation Keystroke ™, Shift/0
Pilots, sounds, weapons are all included.
Templates for this aircraft will be issued as a seperate release, for those skinners that wish to do other units for other theatres or Allied users.
 
As there are several P-74D Razorbacks 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 are around (Wolf or DAT).
As some unit markings are repeated, those with the mods I built for Wolf's Razorback, can choose to keep those, revamp them for use on THIS model, or remove them to storage. You'll most likely be doing this when the D 'Bubbletop' is released.
 
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.

SF2 WW2 PTO "What If" Ki-201 Karyu 'Fire Dragon' 10/25/2014
 
= For SF2 (Full 5 Merged RECCOMENDED!)
 
*This mod will =NOT= work in SF/Wo* 1stGen game installs at any patch level. It was built for SF2 ONLY!!.*
 
This is a re-issue of my WW2 "What If..." Ki-201 Karyu IJAAF jet interceptor. This mods uses Veltro2k's Me-262 as the base, and is designed to COMPLETLY replace the (now unavailable) version I'd built many eons ago for SF 1stGens. If you still have that original in your WW2 PTO-1946 style mods folder, you should delete both the aircraft and decals folders. THIS version =will= replace it totally.
 
There is just one skin, "representing" the (fictional) 100th Independant Air Company, and it's 3 attendant Chutai (squadrons). Each Chutai is designated by the color of the 'plane in group' numbers. See "Notes" for further enlightenment.
The skin is in jpg format, and the damage textures are DDS. All markings are decals, and decal randomization is set to TRUE.
All items needed (guns, drop tanks, rockets and their mounting rack, NEW pilot figure) are included. EXCEPT the "usual suspects" Japanese bombs and such. The original 1stGen hangar screen has been converted for SF2, and fits that styling.
 
When in game, you'll see on the aircraft selection drop down...
 
Ki-201 "Fritz" (v2k)
 
As the other is no longer available, this is just a 'saftey net' so there should be no conflicts. I've given it the Allied code name "Fritz", as a knod to its German origins.
 
As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. PLEASE read them!! Also, please give the "Notes" section a read as well

SF2 WW2 MTO USAAF P-40L Pak by Raven 12/18/2014
 
-- Something for the WW2 MTO players --
 
= For SF2 ONLY, Full-5 Merged (Reccomended/Preferred) =
 
*Note: this pak MAY be usable in 1stGen SF/Wo* game installs. However, some features (decal randomization and FM adjustments and several other things) will =NOT= be functional. Use in 1stGens has not, and cannot be, tested by me.*
 
**Note x2: this mod is designed for use =ONLY= in a MTO-Centric mods folder**
 
At first, (as usual!!) I was just going to do a simple skin/decals pack. But with all the "modifications" made to fit into SF2 chose to take the "lazy man's way out" and am just uploading the entire aircraft. So, if you already have Raven's P-40L in your MTO-centric mods folder, best to back it up someplace.
 
This is the full aircraft, with my 'tweeked' sf2-ish data ini. The skin included is for...
 
317th FS, 325th FG (the Checkertails)
 
as seen from late 1943 in North Africa and points North. This is the timeframe BEFORE the 325th converted to P-47s.
The original "OD_Green" skin is included, as the #2 texture, and has it's decals randomized. It carries the "star-and-ball" of 1942 thru Sept 43 insignia.
As a second option, I've included a "generic" MTO light earth/dark earth/grey unders camo skin. If one wants to use that type in place of the OD, I'd advise moving or renaming the OD skin maps !!BEFORE!! doing anything else.
All Skins remain in their bmp format.
New DDS damage textures (usable on all Raven's Warhawk/Kittyhawk in SF2 only) are included.
All markings are decals, and Decal Randomization is TRUE. There are no nose arts.
No weapons are included, excepting SF2 Version of the 2 drop tanks required (for those that haven't converted yet). New theatre-specific Hangar and Loading screens are included, too.
 
When in-game, on the aircraft selection drop-down, you'll see
 
P-40L-10 CU (Raven)
 
This will diferentiate this for any other Warhawks you may (or may not) have.
 
As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. PLEASE read them!! Also, please give the "Notes" section a read as well
