SF2 WW2 ETO, RAF Mitchell Mk. II (B-25C/D) 7/19/2014
 
-- Something for the WW2 ETO players --
 
= For SF2 ONLY, Full-5 Merged (Reccomended/Preferred) =
 
A 'nationalization' of Veltro2k's =NEW= B-25C/D recreates the Mitchell Mk.II as use by the RAF in Europe in WW2.
 
There are 2 skin/decals set(s) in the package, both for No 98 Squadron (in standard USAAF finish). They are:
 
98 (in "normal" clothing)
98_44 (with D-Day Invasion stripes)
 
As seen in Northwestern Europe, from 1943 through the war's end.
The skins are in jpg format,
The serials are accurate for the version depicted, but should to be considered 'generic' as they represent no particular squadron or aircraft within a particular squadron.
All markings are decals, and decal randomization is TRUE. This will make it easy for other texture artists to recreate the other RAF Mitchell units (including Free French, and Free Netherlands).
Please note, this mod is supplied with 2 cockpits -- the 'generic' bomber pit, and one with a working bombsight (from the Invader). While not perfect, the bombsight WORKS. To learn how, =PLEASE= read the enclosed PDF.
For those not wanting to use the Invader pit, instructions on switching back to the 'generic' one are in the "Notes" section below.
No bombs or guns are included; you should have the RAF bombs and all the standard issue machine guns already. Pilot figures and sounds however, are included.
 
In game, on the aircraft selection drop down screen, you'll see:
 
Mitchell Mk.II (v2k)
 
This will make sure you choose the right one (even if there aren't any other RAF Mitchells available).

*There is a possibility that this mod will =NOT= work in SF/Wo* 1stGen game installs, due to the excessive modifications made to fit them into the SF2 environment.*
 
**Notex2: These aircraft should ONLY be used in a seperate CBI-centric mods folder to prevent them from showing up where, historically, they shouldn't. The Aircraft/GroundObject sets for CBI are substantially different from Central or SouthWest Pacific areas.**

SF2 KAW F2H-2 Banshee Tweeks Pak -for Razbam Banshees 7/6/2014
 
= For SF2, Full-5 Merged (Reccomended/Preferred) =
 
***PLEASE NOTE!!! You must have the original Razbam Payware Banshee set for all the
necessary items!!! If you can't purchase the item from the Razbam Store, do NOT
download this mod; it will do you NO good. This package =ONLY= includes those items
modded by me.***
 
This package contains a few (partly) repainted skin maps for the 4 original skins.
They now carry decals for Modex and BuNums.
These are =ONLY= for the F2H-2, as used in the early 1950s, particually over Korea.
Included are new decals, decal inis, number lists, userlist, etc. The repainted skin maps are:
 
Fuselage_t
Main_t
Wing2_t
 
You'll find all these items in their appropriate skin subfolders.
 
Also, a totaly NEW skin, for VF-172 "Blue Bolts" was created and included. This was
the first unit to take the Banshee into combat in Korea.
 
Skins remain in bmp format. Decal randomization is TRUE. All aircraft use a "pool" of
BuNum decals. The BuNum decals, when correct for this model, should be considered
'generic' in nature, as they represent ony the aircraft itself, not specific aircraft
in any particular unit. Both USMC units also use a "pool" of Modex numbers.
National insignia, and CVG code letters remain painted on, excepting for those on the
VF-172 skin. All markings on that one, excepting the national insignia, are decals.
 
A modified data, loadout, and main (F-2H2.ini) are included. A new avionics ini is
included, that activates the range-only gun radar (similiar to F-86E/F models).
Shadows have been turned OFF, due to 'tractor beam' issues. NEW damage tgas are
supplied as well.
It may be advisable for you to back up ALL the original inis, just for safety's sake.
 
When in game, you'll see
 
F2H-2 Banshee (Raz)
 
on the aircraft selection drop down menu.
 
The aircraft is carrier-capable, with all the SF2NA coding for deck 'parking'.
However, as the wings do NOT fold, you will probably NOT see them parked on the boat.
The Standard Animation Keystroke ™ is used for the canopy (Shift/0).
No weapons, sounds, pilots, etc are included. These are Razbam copyright items, and
are included in his package. Those that have NOT updated their pilot to the SF2
folderized standard, should do so soonest. OTH, the weapons used are readily available
in the KAW Weapons Pak.
Further work is required by those FM Gurus to bring it all the way home. I've done
what I can with it.
 
As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. So,
please read them BEFORE installing (but after unzipping, of course). Also, give the
"Notes" section a read too.
Full credits are listed in the usual place, down with the "Notes".

SF2 Small Cargo Ship (Soviet/Russian) 7/2/2014

**Note: This mods uses SF2NA style coding for the ship, included the Col lod, radar statements and so forth. You SHOULD be adding this to a FUll-5 Merged install for proper operation. This mod was built and tested in the SF2NA environment.***
 
This is a modification to Stephan1918's VERY cool First Eagles cargo ship. This ship has been reflagged for Soviet use. It's operational dates are 1918-2050, so it should cover all time frames. This is very similiar to what I did for the WW2 versions, seen in both the Atlantic and Pacific. This'll add yet another target for Auntie Ship mission. Be advised -- it's bites back!
 
I've given it a 'generic' name as "MV North Star Class Cargo Ship". I've tried to keep it dissimiliar from other Soviet Cargo ships available in other mods (hence the folder being called "SovCargoShip").
 
As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them. As mentioned above, give the "Notes" section a read too.

This skin represents aircraft from the 336th Fighter Squadron, 4th Figher Group, in 1944 (before D-Day, or after, assuming the Invasion Stripes are removed).
 
The aircraft is finished standard OD/Grey, with white QIMs
The skin is in jpg format, and is slightly revamped from earlier version, with new panel and rivet lines. All markings (excepting the QIMs and national markings) are decals. Decal randomization is TRUE. Serial numbers are 100% correct, and matched to the 'plane-in-group' letters, excpeting those marked with a star (*). Those aricraft DID serve in the 336, but I was unable to match the serials to any individual letter. There are NO nose arts, excepting Gentile & Godfrey's red checks, and Gentile's "Shangra-La". Others texture/decal artists are encouraged to do the leg/brain work if they wish to create others. Be advised, there may not be enough mesh positions for correct placements.
Also, included is a modified loadout ini, as I'd originally inadvertently assigned the drop tanks to the wrong hardpoints!

http://combatace.com/files/file/13216-p-51c-mustang-eto/
 
This skin represents aircraft from the 382nd Fighter Squadron, 363rd Figher Group, 9th Air Force, as based in England, and later forward bases on The Continent after D-Day.
The aircraft is finished in 'natural metal', and carriers Invasion Stripes in the approximate time frame of July thru November 1944 (lower surfaces only).
The skin is in jpg format. All markings (excepting the QIM on the fin and tailplanes and Invasion Stripes) are decals. Decal randomization is TRUE. Serial numbers are correct for the model depicted, but NOT for any specific aircraft with this squadron. Consider them 'generic' in nature.
Also, included is a modified Data ini, as I made a few small changes (like attaching the tail light to the rudder, so it moves!)
 
Remember, historically, the only difference between a B and C model (as both could, and did, recieve the Malcom Hood mod), is the B was built in Ingelwood, California and the C in Dallas, Texas.
As both Wolf's B & C Mustang are mapped identically, End Users ™ can use it for either one.

SF2 A-4E Skyhawk, VMA-211 "Wake Island Avengers" Skin/Decal Pak 6/17/2014
 
= For SF2 (Any & All, Full-5 Merged Prefered) =
 
A new skin for VMA-211; this is inspired by a request by a CombatAce member that used to work for them. Also, it allows us to have a fully updated SF2 version of a skin set originally by Paul "FOTF" Nortness, that now longer works in SF2.
 
This is for the standard, or garden variety A-4E Skyhawk (no *year" suffix). However, they can be used on the 65, 67 and possibly on the A-4F by renaming the maps to match to lod's naming convention.
 
All new decals, excepting one left over from the 1stGen skin, were created for this mod. The skin maps themselves are in jpg format.
ALL markings are decals. Decal randomization has been set to "TRUE".
Also included is my modified Loadout ini, that has "increased" striking power for all mission statements. My Data ini is also included, that adds the Landing Light, and opening canopy (Standard Animation Keystroke, Shift/0).
 
When on the Loadout Screen, in the "Paint Scheme" dropdown, you'll see:
 
VMA-211 "Wake Island Avengers" (FOTF)
 
The Stock 3W skin is still available, but is accessed from the Unit Selection dropdown. This one should not conflict with the stock one. At least it didn't for me during testing.
The (FOTF) is a nod to Paul, as part of the inspiration to rebuild this to the lastest spec (and that I reused on of his decals, albeit slightly modified).
 
As always, fairly easy to follow, detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them ....

RAF (India/Burma):
No. 99 Squadron "Madras Presidency" (Liberator GR.VI, late 44/45, in OD/Grey)
 
Each of the skins will display their theatre association; B/I or C.
The skins are in jpg format. All markings are decals (excepting the wing national
markings and some squadron rudder markings). The serials, when carried, are 'generic'
in nature, as they represent no particular unit, but ARE for the model variant
depicted. Decal randomization is set to TRUE. 10th & 14th AF squadron numbering
conventions (plane-in-group numbers) are used on these aircraft. There are NO nose
arts. Other texture artists are encouraged to do the research, and create proper
artwork decals.
Weapons, pilot figures and guns are NOT included; you should have them already.
However, the VB-1 "Azon" bomb is, as the 7th BG had specialy equipped aircraft for
their usage. A "Strike_Azon" loadout has been setup, and is availalbe through the 3W
Mission Editor. Or they can be hand-loaded. Be advised, the standard carry was 4
Azons, and handloading WILL overload the aircraft with 7. RAF units did NOT use Azons.
The aircraft is also equipped with a ground mapping/surface search radar.
Damage textures are in DDS format.
 
When in game you'll see
 
B-24J Liberator (v2k)
 
This will differentiate this Lib from any others you may have (ie: Pasko's).
 
As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included.
PLEASE read them!!! PLEASE read the "Notes" section for other important notations, in
particular for in-game usage.
 
Happy Landings

SF2 WW2 MTO P-39 Airacobra Pak by Veltro2k 6/5/2014
 
-- Something for the MTO players --
 
= For SF2, Full-4/5 Merged (Reccomended/Preferred) =
 
*There is a distinct possibility that this mod will =NOT= work in SF/Wo* 1stGen game installs, due various and sundry reasons*
This is an MTO (Theatre Specific) version of Veltro2k's Bell P-39 Airacobra. This aircraft is designed to either replace or compliment the SF2 versions I did for Wolf257's Airacobra. It's the End Users choice if you wish to delete the old versions, or keep them.
 
Skins/Units depicted are:
 
93rd FS, 81st FG, late 1942/43 ("yellow outlined" star-and-ball)
346th FS, 350th FG, late 43 (star-and-bar)
GC 1/4 "Navare", 1943 & later, Free French Air Force
 
All the above are units are ONLY MTO based. Do NOT use the mod in any other theatre. The skins also use the "StartDate" switch, so as to turn on at the (almost) appropriate time. I've skipped the US "red outlined star-and-bar", as it was only used for approx 3 months.
All skins are in jpg format. Decal Randomization is TRUE.
Damage textures are in DDS format.
The engine sound is included. All the other items (bombs, drop tank, guns, etc) you should have already.
All lighting is 100% historically correct.
 
When in game, you'll see:
 
P-39D Airacobra (v2k)
 
Displayed on the Aicraft Selection Dropdown menu. This will diferentiate it from Wolf's or any other versions.
 
As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them. Also, give the "Notes" section a read too.

This is an ETO (Theatre Specific) version of Veltro2k's Bell P-39D Airacobra. This represents those used by the RAF in Europe as the "Airacobra Mk.1", for a VERY short time! Basically, this is what would become the P-400 in USAAF service. Operational dates have been rounded to "whole months".
 
The unit depicted is:
 
No. 601 "County of London" Squadron
 
The aircraft is finished in standard "Temperate Day Scheme", circa late 1941 (painted in the USA at the Bell factory). The skin is in jpg format. Decal Randomization is TRUE. Damage textures are in DDS format.
The engine Sounds is included. All the other items (bombs, drop tank, guns, etc) you should have already.

SF2 WW2 PB4Y-1 (B-24J) USN Liberator, PTO Pak by Veltro2K 6/4/2014
(Full 5 Merged Reccomended)
 
This pack contains a NEW aircrft by Veltro2k; the US Navy's PB4Y-1 (B-24J) Liberator as seen in the Pacific. This aircraft uses some SF2NA 'mission statements'.
 
It is designed for use ONLY in the PTO (Central Pac, Solomons, Phillipines, Home Island, etc). Research has not turned up any data about thes models being used in SoWesPac (particularly New Guinea, although some DID operate over Borneo). Of course, these also replaced the eariler "D" version in the Atlantic.
 
The unit represented herein are:
 
VPB-102, based in the Solomons in 1943
 
The aircraft is finished in standard USN 3-tone camo, and while 'assigned' to VPB-102, is representative of pretty much all USN VPB Liberator units as seen from the Aleutians to Australia, and (almost) all points in between. The same goes for Atlantic squadrons, fron the Arctic Ocean to the South Atlantic (although with a different paint job).
The skins are in jpg format. All markings are decals (excepting the wing national markings). The BuNums are 'generic' in nature, as they represent no particular aircraft within a specific unit, but ARE for the model variant depicted. Decal randomization is set to TRUE. There are NO nose arts.
Weapons, pilot figures and guns are NOT included; you should have them already.
Damage textures are in DDS format.
 
When in game you'll see
 
PB4Y-1 (J) Liberator (v2k)
 
The (J) expresses that this version is based of the B-24J model, NOT the D, L, or M. All USN/USMC/USCG versions were called PB4Y-1, regardless of what sub-variant. It will also further diferentiate it from any built from Pasko's B-24J.

SF2 WW2 B-24D Liberator, CBI Pak by Veltro2K 6/1/2014
(Full 4/5 Merged Reccomended)
 
This pack contains a NEW aircrft, by Veltro2k; the B-24D Liberator as seen in in the China, Burma, India Theatre. Be advised, that while there wasn't too much 'crossover' between the 10 AF in India and the 14th AF in China, for gaming purposes it won't matter much.
You are advised, however, to have a seperate CBI mods folder (even though the new India/Burma/Indochina map is far from completed).
 
The unit(s) represented herein are:
 
10th AF (India):
493rd BS, 7th BG (star-and-ball, 42/43)
9th BS, 7th BG (star-and-bar, late 43 thru 45)
 
14th AF (China):
374th BS, 308th BG (43)
 
All Aircraft are painted in the standard finish of OD/Neutral Grey.
Each of the skins will display their theatre association (B/I) or © on the Loadout Screen's drop down.
The skins are in jpg format. All markings are decals (excepting the wing national markings). The serials, when carried, are 'generic' in nature, as they represent no particular unit, but ARE for the model variant depicted. Decal randomization is set to TRUE. 10th & 14th AF squadron numbering conventions (plane-in-group numbers) are used on these aircraft. There are NO nose arts.

SF2 WW2 MTO USAAF P-40K-5 Pak 5/24/2014
 
-- 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.*
 
**Notex2: this mod is designed for use =ONLY= in a MTO-Centric mods folder**
 
At first, 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-40K 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...
 
64th FS, 57 FG
 
as seen in early 1943 in North Africa.
 
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. Also, via the use of my (patent pending) fake "SqTail" decal, the squadron name display is now active on the Loadout Screen.
No weapons are included, except an SF2 Version of the drop tank (for those that haven't converted it yet), and 30# fragmentation bombs.
 
When in-game, on the aircraft selection drop-down, you'll see
 
P-40K-5 CU (Raven)
 
This will diferentiate this for any other Warhawks you may (or may not) have.
It should be noted, that of all the AAF P-40 equipped units in the Med, my source material stated that ONLY the 64th recieved the K model Warhawks.

= For SF2, Full-4/5 Merged (Reccomended/Preferred) =
 
*There is a distinct possibility that this mod will =NOT= work in SF/Wo* 1stGen game installs, due various and sundry reasons*
 
This is a mod of Veltro2k's Bell P-39D Airacobra, in to the export version, called P-400 in USAAF service. This aircraft is designed to either replace or compliment the SF2 versions I did for Wolf257's Airacobra. It's the End Users choice if you with to delete the old versions, or keep them.
 
Both skins are in the "RAF style" camo pattern. Skins included are:
 
39th FS, 35th FS, early 1942 (New Guinea)
67th FS, 58th FG Mid/Late 1942 (Guadalcanal)
 
The above are units that were used in the SouthWestPacific region, specifically Australia & New Guinea (39th), and The Solomons (Guadalcanal, 67th). The skins also use the "StartDate" switch, so as to turn on at the (almost) appropriate time.
Serial numbers (RAF issued) are 100% historicaly correct for this aircraft, but should be considered 'generic' in nature, as they represent no particular aircraft within these specific units.
All skins are in jpg format. Decal Randomization is TRUE.
An SF2 version of the original 'box art' hangar screen are included. Damage textures are in DDS format.
Sounds and a pilot figure are included. All the other items (bombs, drop tank, guns, etc) you should have already.
All lighting is 100% historically correct.
 
When in game, you'll see:
 
P-400 Airacobra (v2k)
 
Displayed on the Aicraft Selection Dropdown menu. This will diferentiate it from the Wolf257 version.

= For SF2, Full-4/5 Merged, =WITH= DLC #19 (Full-5 Reccomended/Preferred) =
 
*DLC #19 is REQUIRED for this mod!!*
 
**Please note, this pack is set up for the 3W A-4L Skyhawk DLC pack #19 ONLY!!! It is NOT be confused or USED with the Crab_02/Column5 mod. If you have the C2/C5 version, You are advised to REMOVE that mod COMPLETLY BEFORE installing this one!! It will cause conflicts, faults and General Mayhem. You have been warned!!!**
 
This pack contains skins/decals for the following units:
 
VC-13 "Fighting Saints" as based at NAS/MCAS Miramar
VC-2 "Falcons" as based at NAS Oceana
 
Several reworked inis included are:
Data.ini (operable canopy, Standard Keystroke ™, Shift/0, landing light)
Loadout ini (better offensive loadouts)
main ini (A-4L.ini, with resequenced skin listings - these are now 1 & 2)
 
All markings, excepting the squadon tail codes and VC-13's hump, are decals. The tail markings for both are painted on the skin. Decal randomization is TRUE, but be advised there's only 7 Modex for VC-2, and 12 for VC-13. This IS historically correct.
 
When installing, just allow the overwrite of the inis. I've fiddled with the skin listing order, to make them more user friendly. However, if you wish to keep the original order, BACKUP THE MAIN, A-4L.INI -=BEFORE=- INSTALLING THIS MOD!!!
 
*REMINDER!!! You =MUST= have DLC #19 to access the aircraft and it's other associated files.*
 
As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. So, please -READ- them!! In fact, unzip the archive FIRST, read the instructions, and then install it. Best to be safe, eh?

-- Something for the WW2 ETO players --
 
= For SF2 ONLY, Full-5 Merged (Reccomended/Preferred) =
 
**Note: Having any SF2 series game is HIGHLY reccomended, as this mod references the stock destroyed An-12. Also, due to modifications to various inis, this mod will probably -NOT- work in 06/08 level 1stGen game installs. This has not/cannot be tested by me. SF2NA is REQUIRED as part of you game installs, as this aircraft uses several NA-specific mission tasking for it's Naval Search and so forth.**
 
*This is a "Theatre Specific" & Nationalized release of Veltro2K's NEW!!! B-17E Flying Fortress Heavy Bomber. This package contains the Fortress IIA for RAF Coastal Command, in Europe =ONLY=.*
 
There is 1 skins/decal set in this pack:
 
No. 220 Squadon, RAF Coastal Command, as based in Northern UK and Northern Ireland, for North Sea and Atlantic patrols.
 
The Skin is in jpg format. The serials ARE historically correct for the aircraft, but should be considered 'generic' in nature, as they represent no specific aircraft in a particular squadron.
All markings are decals. All lighting is historically correct. Damage textures are in DDS format.
 
It should be noted, this mod is for use -ONLY- in an ETO-centric mods folder; research seems to poin to these aircraft having only been used over the Atlantic. In this case, RAF Fortress IIAs were replaced by Liberator GR.V/VI/VII in 1944.
 
When in-game, you'll see:
 
Fortress IIA (V2K)
 
on the aircraft selection. While no other E models exist, this is simply done as a convenience.
 
As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. PLEASE read them!!! PLEASE read the "Notes" section for other important notations.
