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. 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.
A new "generic" Hangar screen was created for this mod. Damage textures are in DDS format.
 
When in game you'll see
 
B-24D 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.

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.
 
As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. PLEASE read them!!

*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?

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.

*Can be used in any install that has access to the A-4C_65, which is stock in all merged installs, excepting a stand-alone SF2:I. However, it does use the A-4E_67 Cockpit and Avionics ini, which is only availabe in SF2:V. Hence, the 'Full-4 Merged' tag is applicable*
 
Complete overhaul of the A-4L Skyhawk as originally released in 2004 by Crab02 and Column5. For historical purposes, their original readme is included.
This mod makes use of all stock, "in-game" items, excepting for the avionics hump.
 
All inis have been updated to the latest patch level (August, 2011); the loadout ini has some minor changes for a couple of mission profiles. The data ini has had the landing light added, and (of course!) the canopy activated, via manual animation. Use shift/0 to open and close it.
All 'standard' Skyhawk mission profiles are retained.
The avionics hump has been converted to a 'pilot seat' using the fake pilot method (the FakePilot is also supplied, just in case). The mid fuselage upper light position has been adjusted to match that on the hump.
A new SF2 style hangar screen jpg is also included
Decal randomization has been set to "TRUE", so be at least at whichever patch level gave this to us.

*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 (read: decal randomization), all the features will =NOT= be working as designed.*
 
A new skin for Raven's Hurrican Mk.1 (2-bladded Watts prop, fabric wings), representing No. 1 Squadron in early to mid-1940, but more for the Battle of France timeframe.
 
This skin is painted in the "half-and-half' Night/White wing undersides, with French style "rudder flash" RAF color bands, and "silver dope" remaining undersides. The skin maps remain in bmp format.
Also included is a modified textureset.ini for the original No.111 squadron skin, that adds the DefaultStartDate= tag (07/1940), adds decal randomization. The decals ini provided for 111 adds the Level 1 fake "SqTail" pointer to activate the Squadron name display. This is used on BOTH skins.
 
The new serial number decals ARE historically those for early Mk.1 Hurris, but should be considered 'generic' in nature, as they represent NO particular aircraft within a specific squadron.
 
This package ONLY contains the skins/decals (and the 111 Squadron inis). I've not included any of my usual "tweeks" to SF2-ize the aircraft. It's pretty perfect as is! (the only thing I changed was turning the Fuselage OFF in the data ini to eliminate the 'double cockpit' issue).

The unit represented herein are:
 
VPB-105, as based in the UK.
 
The aircraft is finished in "Atlantic Sea Search" camo, and while 'assigned' to VPB-105, is representative of pretty much all USN VPB Liberator units as seen from Iceland to Brazil, and all points in between.

Damage textures are in DDS format.
 
When in game you'll see
 
PB4Y-1 (D) Liberator (v2k)

The serials are 'generic' in nature, as they represent no particular unit, but ARE for the model variant depicted. Decal randomization is set to TRUE. There ARE nose arts, the 1st 12 are from the original Pasko release, the others are from my "stock" of nose art decals. These should NOT be considered historical in any way, shape or form. They're just nice to look at.
Weapons and guns are NOT included; you should have them already.
All the 1stGen Hangar and Loading screens were either rebuilt to SF2-spec, or created new for this package. They are in jpg format. Damage textures are new, in DDS format.

This is a COMPLETE aircraft, with almost all the trimmings, ready to unzip and fly away. Many tweeks have been performed on this, mostly by Column5 to the FlightModel. Some data ini mods by me (duplicating the HVAR stations) alow for wingfold and the ordanance to "stay put" the pylons. Canopy & wingfold is activated by manual animation keys; use Shift/0 for the canopy, Shift/9 for wingfold. Obviously, the FAH dosen't have carriers, but research indicated that the wingfold was never disabled. As always, all the external lighting has been updated to be historically/mechanically correct.
 
As always, READ the enclosed readme for full, detailed instructions. This package has been broken down into the various folders that SF2 needs/requires/should have, to make it a LOT easier to install. Also, please review the Legal disclaimers at the bottom - some changes have been implimented.

This is a compliation of all the work done to date on Wolf257's Corsairs, from 1stGen WW2 mods, converted, adjusted,tweeked, etc, for use in the SF2 environment. This package is designed (read: WILL) replace all other
previously released versions/variants/mods of these aircraft.
 
This package holds 6 complete aircraft, with all their skins and decals:
 
Corsair MK.IV (RNFAA- BPF)
F4U-1 (USMC Birdcage 'Stand In')
F4U-1A (USN, USMC, RNZAF)
F4U-1D (USN, USMC, RNZAF)
F4U-2 (Radar Equiped Nightfighter; USN, USMC)
F4U-4 (USN, USMC) *by TMF, specific for WW2*
 
For squadrons represented, just look in each aircraft's folder.
 
New cockpits, from the TMF -4/-7/AU-1 are being used on the Mk.IV, -1D. The -2 is using the radar-
equiped cockpit from the -5N. While not fully hisorically correct, they have the proper "look and
feel" for the era. The -1 & -1A still uses the original Wolf cockpit. With a small "enhancement"
Data inis (FM), loadouts, userlists, etc meet (almost, FM-wise) the latest standard. All skins are in
Jpg format, and decal randomization is TURE. See 'Notes' for more details.
All weapons are included, in SF2 formatting, as are sounds and a pilot figure.
 
Supplied, for Optional Use, is a slightly modified SquadronList.ini, with small name changes to some
USN & USMC squadrons, that may (or may not!) show the correct squadron name on the Loadout Screen.
Also supplied is a 'backdated' SCB-125_Data.ini for SF2NA users that will allow the anachronism of a
1950s-era angled-deck Essex class CV to work in WW2 (that also has =NO= working guns!!).
 
Good Hunting!

Vought Corsair MK.2, RN Fleet Air Arm, ETO
 
= For SF2, Any & All (FUll 5 Merged Reccomended*) =
 
A little something for the ETO-centric WW2 players!
 
Designed for use =ONLY= in a stand-alone SF2-based WW2 ETO Mods Folder!!!
 
*Note: Full-5 Merged reccomended, due to the use of SF2NA style 'carrier based' statements in the aircraft's data inis. Working WW2-era aircraft carriers (and escorts) are required as well as Terrains with working SF2NA-style _water.bmps and NavalMap=TRUE). There is a 98.6% probability 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.*
 
**Note x2: this is Wolf's Corsair, NOT the TMF version, available elsewhere
 
This pack represents aircraft from 1842 Naval Air Squadron, Royal Navy Fleet Air Arm, embarked on HMS FORMIDABLE during the time frame of the attacks against TIRPITZ.
Data inis (FM), loadouts, userlist, etc meet (almost, FM-wise) the latest standard. All skins are in Jpg format, and decal randomization is TRUE. A new DDS damage texture is included.
All weapons are included, in SF2 formatting.
A new SF2-compliant verison of the original 'box art' Hangar screen is included.
 
As always, fairly easy to follow, highly detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them. Also, give the "Notes" section a read too
For historical purposes, my original readme from 2007 is included.
 
Good Hunting!

NAA P-51D Mustang, Fuerza Aérea Salvadoreña (El Salvador Air Force) for SF/WoV/WoE/WoI and probably SF2
 
-Part of an on-going series of mod recreating Central American Airpower
 
Modifications, and a complete reskin of Wolf257s P-51D Mustang into those as used by the El Salvadoran Air Force.
This is a SEMI-COMPLETE aircraft mod, as per Wolf's wishes, the aircraft LOD is NOT included. However, EVERYTHING else is; cockpit, inis, skin, decals and so forth.
 
The skins, from my "enhanced" template, have my patented "interperative" panel, rivet lines and other details.New decals for the individual aircraft are from historical listings. The numbers.lst, while included, is NOT active, to prevent 'running out of numbers in game'. It's just renamed, so it's easy to reactiveate it.
The camo pattern, also is "interperative" at best. Much conflicting data exists as to how and with what colors the FAS painted their Mustangs, as well as the pattern used. This should be considered a 'generic' style, blending what data I could find into something reasonably passable (or as they used to say, 'reasonable facsimile thereof) the schemes as used.
 
You also get a new WoE style Hangar screen, all the weapons WW2 style weapons are included in the new "folder format" for use in post-patch installs, -and- in EACH weapons folder is a ***_data.ini as used by SF2. Unfortunately, as I don't have SF2, some experimentation on your part will be required to install and get them up and running. (meaning, I'm not sure how the numberation runs...)
 
This mod is designed for use with, I'm hoping, ANY weapons pak. You may just need to add a few things.
 
= IMPORTANT: This aircraft has been tested in Post-Patch SF/WoV/WoE/WoI. Be advised of the existence of some handling issues prevelant in WW2 era and many Pre-Patch (ie: 06 level) aircraft. Fly accordingly!!! It should also work in SF2 and later iterations - this has NOT been tested, however.
 
=MORE IMPORTANT: You =MUST= have Wolf's WW2 Planes Pak to get the LOD from. It is NOT included!!=
 
As per usual, there's a nice readme involved with installation, so give a look at, please!
 
Happy Landings!

Vought F4U-5 Corsair, Fuerza Aérea Hondureña (Honduran Air Force) for SF/WoV/WoE/WoI and probably SF2
 
-Part of an on-going series of mods recreating Central American Airpower
 
This is a modification of The Mirage Factory's F4U-7 (French Navy version), into the earlier, and almost identical (albiet modified), F4U-5 version as used by the Honduran Air Force in the 1950s and 60s. This mod is VERY similiar to the Korean Era F4U-4B mod I released in 2008.
 
This pak contains -almost- everything you'll need to create this new version, minus a few critical files that you'll need to copy from the original F4U-7. So you MUST have the -7 somewhere to copy them from. If not, you can download it from Check6 (TMF Home Site), Column5 or CombatAce
 
This is to be considered as an "incomplete" aircraft mod, due to the non-inclusion of certain files. I've NOT included the aircraft LOD files nor the cockpit folder. See below "To Install" for a complete list of the necessary parts.
 
I've included all the inis I've modified, so you'll be copying the minimum number of bits. You also get a new WoE style Hangar screen, all the weapons in the new "folder format" for use in post-patch installs, and in EACH weapons folder is a _data.ini as used by SF2. Unfortunately, as I don't have SF2, some experimentation on your part will be required to install and get them up and running.
 
The skins are "pieces parts", dejumbled together from the stock ones that came with the aircraft when released. New, historical individual number decals are included. The numbers.lst, while included, is NOT active, to prevent 'running out of numbers in game'. It's just renamed, so it's easy to reactiveate it.
 
This mod is designed for use with the, I'm hoping, ANY weapons pak. You may just need to add a few things.

PLEASE read the enclosed readme for FULL, detailed install instructions!! It's Important!!

SF2 "Beer Bomb" 4/18/2014
 
-- Something for Anyone, Anytime, Anyplace --
 
= For SF2 ONLY, Full-5 Merged (Reccomended/Preferred) =
 
With the recent trend in the SF2 Screenshots Thread on discussions and displays of "potables", I thought this would be a nice little funny thing to add.
 
Basicly, I took the 55 gallon Napalm bomb and repainted it to "represent" a kind of beer keg. It is fully "combat ready" and will act and explode just like Napalm. Included is the skin template, for those wanting (or nuts enough) to want to make the labels in any other languages, or for your favorite beer.
 
As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them.
 
Good Drinking!!

SF2 WW2 Ki-44 64 Sentai CBI Skin Pak 4/15/2014
 
-- Something for the CBI players --
 
= For SF2, Full-4/5 Merged (Reccomended/Preferred) =
 
Just a reskin for Geo's Ki-44 "Tojo", representing 4 Chutai, 64 Sentai in Burma/Indochina in WW2.
 
If you don't have it already, the aircraft can be found at the following url:
 
http://combatace.com/files/file/14106-sf2-ww2-ptocbi-nakajima-ki-44-tojo-by-geo/
 
From a 'partial' redrawn template, the skin maps remain in bmp format. There are no individual aircraft markings, just the Chutai designator.
 
As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them.

SF2 Lockheed RT-33A Shooting Star Pak by ErikGen 3/25/2014
 
= For SF2, Full-5 Merged (Reccomended/Preferred) =
 
This package contains a new aircraft for SF2. Originally part of the KAW F-80/T-33A/RF-80 pak, it somehow slipped under the radar (which Recon birds are supposed to do!!).
 
*Note: as this aircraft were built with the latest 3W exporter, it will =NOT= work in SF/Wo* 1stGen Installs at any patch level.*
 
Like the other Shooting Stars, this is a complete pak with everything needed.
The skins included are:
 
USAF (Generic style markings)
Natural Metal (uses stock 3W decals; generic for everyone else)
 
Skins and damage textures are in DDS format. Decal randomization is TRUE.
The USAF skin uses painted on national marking, the "Natural Metal" does not; all marking will be decals. Generic "plane-in-group" decals reference stock 3W numbers.
Serial numbers are 100% historically correct for T-33s, but should be considered generic in nature, as they represent no particular unit or aircraft within a particular unit.
The "Generic NM" skin will be a good, blank canvas for other users to be created. All decal positions are pre-plotted on the included decals ini. Some adjustments may be necessary for specific country users, but that's a simple matter of creating a new, country specific skin and replotting the decal locations.
It's also know to me that Soulfreak has some other skins in the works; when released, these will be great additions for your flying pleasure!
Drop tanks are 'built in' to the aircraft lod; weapons folders for the drop tanks are included, as are the pilot figures and seat. As this is a recon bird, it's limited to ONLY RECON, and carries no weapons or guns of any kind.
The canopy is controlled via the Standard Animations Keystroke ™, Shift/0.
 
As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them. Also, give the "Notes" section a read too. There are "Operational Notations" with other impertinant data you should know.
 
Happy Landings!
