SF2 WW2/Post-War Lockheed P-38L Lightning 4/9/2014
 
-- Something for, well, Anyone! --
 
= For SF2, Full-5 Merged (Reccomended/Preferred) =
 
Some mods for Wolf257's P-38L Lightning give you a version for late WW2 and the early Post War Time frame.
While keeping the standard WW2 start date, the service time has been extended to include some use by the newly formed USAF (post October, 1947). Meaning, retirement date is December 1949 (approximately true!). This is =NOT= a "What If..." aircraft.
 
2 skins are included, both are in Natural Metal. They're names are:
 
NM (a generic type, with plane-in-group numbers)
USAF (with post-1947 markings)
 
There are no squadron or unit markings for either skin. There is litterally NO data available.
The NM skin can be used pretty much anywere for WW2. The USAF skin will automtically "switch on" in 10/1947.
All new skins (now with rivets!!) are in jpg format. Both aircraft use a 'pool' of Serial numbers and they should be considered 'generic' in nature, but ARE for the model variant depicted. The post-1947 skin has the addition of "Buzz Numbers", that have the correct letter prefix assigned to P-38s
All markings are decals, and decal randomization is TRUE. All weapons, sounds, and a pilot figure are included. Both skins have individual Hangar Screens.
 
When in game, you'll see:
 
P-38L Lightning (Post War) (w)
 
This, and the folder being name "P-38L_pw" will seperate it from any WW2 types you may have. The "PW" is for "Post War". The "W" is for Wolf, further diferentiating this from other Lightnings that you may or may not have.
 
As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them!
 
Good Hunting!

SF2 AD-4W/AEW.1 "Guppy" 4/1/2014
 
= For SF2, Full 5 Merged RECCOMENDED! =
 
**Note: Actually, SF2NA is actually -REQUIRED- in merged installs, due to NA coding used for
this aircraft's operational statements. It is also HIGHLY SUGGESTED!! that this be
=ONLY= used in the NA envrionment (read: in SF2:NA only). It was tested only in the
NA environment, but there are a few issues (see Notes below).***
 
A rebuild of MontyCZ's A-1H Skyraider give us the AD-4W "Guppy" Naval Airborne Early
Warning aircraft of the 1950s.
 
Included are 4 skins, representing the aircrft from 1950 through 1960. They are:
 
USN:
VC-11
 
USMC:
VMC-1
 
British Royal Navy (AEW.1)
No 849 Naval Air Squadron; in 'normal' garb
No 849 NAS, HMS Albion, during the Suez Crisis (with Suez 'Invasion Stripes')
 
The USN/USMC skins use a painted on fueselage national marking (not enough meshes
for all decals); All other markings are decals. All aircraft are in 'standard' Dark
Gloss Navy Blue. For the RN skins, ALL markings are decals. Serial numbers are 100%
historically accurate for the model depicted, and Decal Randomization is TRUE. As
there is no possible way to run down the US serials, they should be considered
'generic' in nature.
However, you may experience some 'unusual' shuffling' of the CV and Flight letter
codes on the Royal Navy (non Suez) skin. Further explinations for this are in the
'Notes' Section. The Suez skin depicts 849's "C" flight as embarked during Operation
Musketeer, and are 100% correct.
 
Skins remain in lo-rez bmp format, but new DDS damage textures are supplied (just in
case). Each skins has it's own hangar screen.
 
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.
 
Happy Landings!

*At minimum, SF2:V is required, as this mod references the stock 3W A-1H lods.*
 
**Note: It is also =REQUIRED= you be at the lates (7/2013) SF2 patch level. The data ini supplied is FROM this last patch level. Those End Users NOT up to speed, may experience visual oddities on the aircraft, as some things have been changed over the last few patchs. No support is, or will be availalbe, to those End Users.**
 
This mod represents Skyraiders as used by the AdA in the early 1960s, and will give you a new, nationalized aircraft.
The aircrft represented here is from:
 
EC 3/20 "Oranie"
 
as seen in Algeria in the early 1960s.
 
All skins are in jpg format. All markings, excepting the squadron color bands, are decals. Recal randomization is TRUE. The aircraft BuNums are 100% correct for those Skyraiders in French service, but should be considered "generic" in nature as they do not represent any individual aircraft in any particular squadron.
The canopy opens with the Standard Animatin Keystroke, Shift/0.
 
As always, fairly easy to follow, detailed install instructions are included. PLEASE read them!!! Also, give the "Note" section a read,

SF2 WW2 & Post-War Spitfire XIV Skin/Ini Pak 3/31/2014
 
-- Something for the WW2 ETO (and post war) players --
 
= For SF2 ONLY, Full-5 Merged (Reccomended/Preferred) =
 
*** DLC #29 REQUIRED for this Mod!!!! ***
 
A reskinning of the stock 3W DLC 29 Spit XIV (14), adds a WW2 skin, and 2 early
post-war RAF skins.
They are:
 
No 130 "Punjab" Squadron (as seen in the ETO in late 44-thru wars end)
No 60 Squadron (Malaya, 1946)
No 28 Squadron (as seen at Tengah, 1948)
 
The Squadron Crest for each is used as the 'paint chip' seen on the loading
screen.
Included are modified data and loadout, userlist & main inis. For you viewing
pleasure, a brand NEW SF2-style Hangar screen. The assumption (oh! that word!!)
is being made that you've already made the aircraft player flyable, so no
cockpit bits are included. However, my "One Click Restore Main Ini" (patent
pending) is.
No weapons (bombs and guns) are included, as all stock items are being used,
but a drip tank is.
The canopy has been activated via the Standard Animation Keystroke ™,
Shift/0.
All markings are decals (excepting SEAC bands), and decal randomization is TRUE
(but is acting quite "oddly" for some reason).
 
*Please Note: if you have PauloPanz's EXCELLENT Spit 14 skin pak, you may want
to backup and compare his data ini to mine. You may also want to create a NEW
One Click Restore ini ™, after it automaticly adds his skins -- See notes
for changes.*

included. So, please read them. Also, give the "Notes" section a read too.

SF2 WW2 ETO Short Stirling Tweeks Pak 3/26/2014
 
-- Something for the WW2 ETO players --
 
= For SF2 ONLY, Full-5 Merged (Reccomended/Preferred) =
 
Some tweeks for Veltro2K's recently released Stirling Mk.I. What this pack does, is activate ALL the included Squadron Code decals by creating skin folders for those squadrons.
 
If you don't have it already, you can get the aircraft at the following link:
 
http://combatace.com/files/file/14668-short-stirling-mk1/
 
(in other words, install the aircraft 1st, THEN this Tweeks Pack)
 
As the decals and the ini in the above release are set up for the as-yet-to-be-released ETO All Inclusive mod by the DAT, we are missing the necessary files to create the selection drop down to choose which squadron gets what.
This mod creates new skin folders, albeit with the original skin maps (more on that later), and activates the squadron code decals for the following RAF Bomber Command units:
 
No. 7 Squadron
No. 15 Squadron
No. 75 "New Zealand" Squadron (original NCamo skin)
No. 90 Squadron
No. 149 "East India" Squadron
No. 214 "Federated Malay States" Squadron
No. 218 "Gold Coast" Squadron
 
The Squadron crest for each is used for the 'color patch' as seen on the Loadout Screen.
My (patent pending) "Box Art" Hangar and Loading screens are included, as are new DDS damage textures.
 
You will be moving (read: copy/paste) the original skin maps to the MAIN aircraft folder (ala Brain 32's trick). As all BC aircraft of the time were painted the same, this creates no issues.
 
As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. PLEASE read them after unzipping, but BEFORE installing, and FOLLOW them exactly as I've written them!!!
 
Caveat:
 
BE ADVISED, THIS MOD IS =NOT= TO BE USED WHEN THE DAT RELEASES THEIR ETO PAK. IT IS DESIGNED FOR USE ONLY BY THOSE END USERS ™ THAT CANNOT ACCESS THEIR DOWNLOADS. IT IS DESIGNED FOR USE IN A STANDARD OR "GARDEN VARIETY" WW2 ETO MODS FOLDER, =NOT= FOR THEIR ALL-INCLUSIVE MOD.

SF2 WW2 SEAC Bristol Beaufighter NF Mk.1 (Late), v.9 by Cocas 3/26/2014
 
-- Something for the WW2 CBI/SEAC 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!!.*
 
*Note x2: This mod represents late production Beau NF Mk.1s for South East Asia Command ONLY! This is a seperate version for CBI usage ONLY, as their start/end dates tend to differ. Meaning: for your CBI Mods Folder.*
This here is a BRAND NEW aircraft, brought to you by Cocas Aircraft Factory & Co. . This package represents the late production Beaufighter NF Mk.1s. These marks =HAVE= the dihedral horizontal stabs (they point up).
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.
 
This pack contains the following aircraft & skin/decal sets:
 
Beaufighter NF Mk.1 (Night Fighter) in Standard SEAC Day Scheme, with Night Unders
 
No. 176 Squadron (as seen at various airbase in East Bengal)
 
The Squadron Crest is used as the paint chip seen on the Loadout Screen.
Skins are in jpg format, as are the bump maps. Damage textures are in DDS. Everything is included, excepting the guns (you should have all these already). No bombs or rockets; these are NF Mk.1s, not equipped for them. However, I've allowed you other mission statements, in particular, Armed Recon. You've got plenty of 'gun power' for Truck Hunting.
All markings are decals, and decal randomization is set to TRUE. It should be noted, that research has indicated varying numbers of NF Mk.1s arriving in India - some sources say 6, some 8, some 12. I've taken the lazy mans way out, and given you the 'generic' 26 plane-in-group letters. In Real Life ™, Mk. VI, Mk.X and TF Mk.X began arriving in theatre sometime in mid-late 1943.
All serials, while correct for the variant depicted, should be considered 'generic' in nature, as they represent no specific aircraft with the units represented.
 
When in-game, you'll see:
 
Beaufighter NF Mk.I (Late) (CAF)
 
for these aircraft. The "CAF" (for Cocas Aircraft Factory) will diferentiate these Beaus from any others you may or may not have.
As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. So, please =READ= them BEFORE installing this mod!!!. Also, give the "Notes" section a read too.

= For SF2, Full-5 Merged (Reccomended/Preferred) =
 
This is a 'remod' package, fully revamping some earlier 1stGen skins by Gocad for Wolf257's P-38J Lightning. This is the full aircraft package, with all the goodies included (weapons, pilot, sounds, cockpit, etc).
 
This package represents the 1st FG during late 1944 through war's end, as based in Italy. This is all 3 squadrons:
 
27th FS
71st FS
94th FS
 
All new skins (now with rivets!!) are in jpg format. Each squadron has the correct plane-in-squadron numbering sequence, and squadron color flashes. All aircraft use a 'pool' of Serial numbers, and they should be considered 'generic' in nature, but ARE for the model variant depicted.
All markings are decals, and decal randomization is TRUE. Each skin is represented by the WW2 squadron patch, as seen on the Loadout screen selection drop-down menu.
 
When in game, you'll see:
 
P-38J Lightning (W)
 
The W is for Wolf257. This will diferentiate this P-38J for any other you may (or may not) have.

*There is a distinct 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.*
 
Mods/reskins/redecaling for Wolf257's P-38F aircaft. This pak replaces my SF/Wo* 1stGen 'generic' PTO P-38F. It is designed to represent P-38F/G model Lightnings as seen in the SoWesPac Theatre, in particular the Solomons Islands.
 
The aircraft carries the markings of the 339th FS, 347th FG as seen in late 1942 through late 43. This is pretty representative of all early Lightings in theatre at this time frame.
 
This is the full aircraft, and is complete with everything needed (except bombs & guns; you should have these already).
The skin is in jpg format (now! with rivets!), Decal Randomization is TRUE. Damage textures are DDS format.
 
When In Game, you'll see
 
P-38F Lightning (W)
 
The (W) indicates this as a Wolf257 aircraft, and will differentiate it from any other P-38Fs you may (or may not) have.
 
As always, fairly easy to follow, highly detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them.
Remember -- these are very old models, so they "are as they is". All original readmes, when discoverable, are included.

= For SF2, Full-5 Merged, + Expansion Pak 1 (REQUIRED!) =
 
*You must have SF2:I Exp Pak 1, as this mod REQUIRES the stock 3W C-47*
 
This pak contains Skin/Decal mods for the Stock 3rd Wire C-47A, representing RAF Dakota's in WW2, in the India/Burma (SEAC) theatre. None of my research has turned up an information if they were camoflagued, so the aircraft is in standard OD/Grey.
 
Supplied are 26 plane-in group letters and RAF serial number decals. The serials, while correct for the Dakota, represent no particular unit and should be considered 'generic' in nature. There are NO squadron codes.
Decal randomization is TRUE
Also supplied is an updated/edited/adjusted C-47A User list, with many corrected dates.
 
*NOTE: this skin pak is for RAF Daks in SEAC =ONLY=!!! Read: your CBI mods folder.*
 
This little mod comes about as I'm sick and tired of seeing Dakota's parked on my terrains, with incorrect WW2 theatre markings (while not perfect even WITH this, they're a LOT closer!)

P-38F Lightining, 94th Fighter Squadron; for SF/SFG/WoV/WoE MTO Installs
 
This is a new skin for Wolf257's Lightinig, and my mod of it into the P-38F Lightning. It is desinged to replace the "Generic OD1943" skin for use in your MTO-themed WW2 game install.
 
This skin is based off Wolf's original templates that came with his "WW2 Planes Pak", that I've made a few little enhancements too. New panel lines, weathering and some detail work to the interior sections have been added (look around, and you'll find them!)
All new decals for serial and ID letters have been created, to represent aircraft from the 94th Fighter Squadron "Hat In The Ring", 1st Fighter Group as they appeared when in service in North Africa/MTO during late 1942 through late 1943. Hence, the use of the Operation Torch yellow-outlined fuselage star, and the plane star roundel on the wings. Research seems to indicate the yellow-outline was used by the 94th well into 1943, until replaced by the red-outlined star-and-bar, which only lasted a few months itself before being replaced by the blue-outlined star-and-bar. Then they moved up to later model Lightnings, in OD/Gray and then to Natural Metal finish.
Serial numbers ARE accurate for F model Lightnings, but I was unable to match ID letters to serials, excepting for UN-Q; that one IS the correct serial. Consider the serials as "generic" for this usage.
 
As always, it's reccomended you unzip this package to a temp folder or your desktop, or somewhere's else that's easy to find to gain access to the rest of this readme for full, detailed install instructions.

SF2 WW2 DLC #28 S-99 (Bf-109G) Mod Pak 3/10/2014
 
-- Something for the WW2 players --
 
= For SF2, Full-5 Merged (Reccomended/Preferred) =
 
*You =MUST= have DLC #28 to gain access to the stock 3W S-99 Lods*
 
Some modifications to the DLC Avia S-99, 'backdate' it to its WW2 beginnings.
The aircraft has had several modifications, not the least of which is the
renaming to BF-109.
 
The skin is a 'base' light grey (RLM 81?). All new panel and rivet lines have
been drawn in. There is NO camoflague pattern, nor are the control surfaces
fabric lines drawn in.
 
The templates I created ARE included, in the hopes someone can make use of them
and finish off the aircraft. Due to the resolution of the stock skins I used, I
was unable to see the control surface lines well enough, or to find a drawing
that matched well enough to try drawing them.
Several ini mods add a 'fake pilot' belly rack, so the drop tank or single bomb
will have something to attach too (as the Lod does NOT have this mesh). Some
modification to FM statements try to bring it closer to published data. It may
need further tuning by experts.
Canopy opens with the Standard Animation Keystroke (Shift/0)
 
The skin included is a 'base' Luftwaffe (albeit, again with no camo). The
markings represent 11/JG 77 in late 1944. All markings are decals, and decal
randomization is TRUE.
 
When in-game, you'll see:
 
Bf-109G10 (3W)
 
As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are
included. So, please =READ= them BEFORE installing this mod!!!.
With any luck, one of our Expert skinners will grab this, and give us some
nice Luftwaffe skins.

= 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-40F in your MTO-centric mods folder, best to back it up someplace. You can, of course, re-add any other skins at your convience.
 
This is the full aircraft, with my 'tweeked' sf2-ish data ini. The skin included is for...
 
64th FS, 57 FG "Black Scorpions"
 
as seen from late 1942 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). New theatre-specific Hangar and Loading screens are included, too. Actually, you have 2 loadings screens to choose from.
 
When in-game, on the aircraft selection drop-down, you'll see
 
P-40F-5 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!!
 
Good Hunting!!

SF2 WW2 MTO Bristol Beaufighter Mk.VIF, v.9 by Cocas 2/10/2014
 
-- Something for the WW2 MTO 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!!.*
*Note x2: This mod represents VIFs as used in the MTO =ONLY=. This is the AI equipped NFs (Mk.VII), WITH dehidral (upwards pointing) tailplanes, but NO turret gun. I've allowed for other mission statement like 'Armed_Recon'. This aircraft carries NO bombs or rockets. You'll have to do with guns-only. Until the later model VI, X and TF.X arrive.*
 
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.
This pack contains the following aircraft & skin/decal sets:
 
Beaufighter Mk.IVF
No. 600 "City of London" Squadron
 
As seen in late 1942/early 43 time frames. The aircraft is finished in standard overall MSG with disruptive Dark Green.
The Squadron Crest for each is used as the paint chip seen on the Loadout Screen.
Skins are in jpg format, as are the bump maps. Damage textures are in DDS. Everything is included, excepting the guns (you should have all these already). No bombs or rockets; these are Mk.VIF NFs, not equipped for them. All markings are decals, and decal randomization is set to TRUE.
Other squadrons can easily be reproduced by creating new squadron code letters. As is my habit, sample bmps are left in the various Decals folders 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) depicted.
 
When in-game, you'll see:
 
Beaufighter Mk VIF (Early) (CAF)
 
for this aircraft. The "CAF" (for Cocas Aircraft Factory) will diferentiate these Beaus from any others you may or may not have.
 
As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. So, please =READ= them BEFORE installing this mod!!!. Also, give the "Notes" section a read too.
 
Happy Hunting!

SF2 WW2 RAF Douglas Dakota Skin Pak 3/1/2014
 
-- Something for the WW2 ETO/MTO players --
 
= For SF2, Full-5 Merged, + Expansion Pak 1 (REQUIRED!) =
 
*You must have SF2:I Exp Pak 1, as this mod REQUIRES the stock 3W C-47*
 
This pak contains Skin/Decal mods for the Stock 3rd Wire C-47A, representing
RAF Dakota's in WW2. This pak contains 2 skins:
 
RAF (Euro) -standard OD/Grey
RAF_D (Desert) - standard Day Desert
 
Supplied are 26 plane-in group letters and RAF serial number decals. The
serials, while correct for the Dakota, represent no particular unit and should
be considered 'generic' in nature. Both skins use a 'pool' of the letters and
serials. There are NO squadron codes.
Decal randomization is TRUE
Also supplied is an updated/edited/adjusted C-47A User list, with many
corrected dates.
 
End users ™ are advised to choose which skin for what WW2 mods folder
they'll be using (Euro for the ETO, and Desert for the MTO, obviously!). Simply
rename the textureset ini for the skins NOT being used, and the Game Engine
will ignore it.
 
This little mod comes about as I'm sick and tired of seeing Dakota's parked on
my terrains, with incorrect WW2 markings (while not perfect even WITH this,
they're a LOT closer!)
 
As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are
included. So, please =READ= them BEFORE installing this mod!!!
 
Happy Landings!

SF2 WW2 Fieseler Fi 156 'Storch' (MTO/ETO) Pak, 3/1/2014
 
-- Something for the WW2 ETO/MTO players --
 
= For SF2, Full-5 Merged (Reccomended/Preferred) =
 
*There is a distinct possibility that this mod will =NOT= work in SF/Wo* 1stGen game installs below the 08 pach level. Due to some of the modifications made to fit them into the SF2 environment (specific statements for decals and the 'open cockpit") all the features will =NOT= be working as designed in anything earlier. No support is/will be available for 1stGen users to do so.*
 
Some modification, tweeks, reskin and so forth for Raven's cool little Storch, adds another skin (MTO Desert) and new decals (radio call letters) for both. Also, a exceedingly modified cockpit from my L-19 mod, making if nicely Player Flyable. (as seen in the SF2 Storch Tweeks Pak from a few years back. Ths mod includes that, plus more!)
So, you have to 2 skins:
 
Euro Green (the original) (represeing ????)
MTO desert mottle camo (representing 2(H)/14 in North Africa)
 
Originally, I was just going to do an 'update pak', but it was just as easy to assemble a Full Aircaft Update Package. This was done simply for 'ease of use' (read: laziness!!! :) ).
All skins is still in bmp format. Decal randomization is TRUE. All the markings are decals. Each skin has 12 radio letter decals. There is NO hangar screen.
 
As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. So, please =READ= them.
This pak includes a number of changes for SF2, so if you have the Storch already, you might REALLY want to back up your original, as THIS is designed to replace it.
Also, give the "Notes" section a read too.
With Thanks To Raven for the bird!
 
Happy Landings!

SF2 WW2 ETO Bristol Beaufighter Mk.VI (Early), v.9 by Cocas 3/1/2014
 
-- Something for the WW2 ETO 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!!.*
 
*Note x2: This mod represents the early production Beau Mk.VIs for ETO and MTO
usage ONLY! Seperate versions for other theatres, and later marks, will be
released when and as they are finished. (although, with a differently painted
skin, it could be used for CBI/PTO...)
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.*
 
This is a BRAND NEW aircraft, brought to you by Cocas Aircraft Factory & Co.
This package contains 1 aircraft, representing a mix-mash of 3 different
(early) Mk.VI variants, so I'm calling this the "Beaufighter 6 Mix":
 
VIF
VIC
ITF
 
These marks =HAVE= the dihedral horizontial stabs (they point up). There is no
MG turret, and no AI or ASV radar. The aircraft IS equipped to carry rockets
and a torpedo, as well as 2 bombs on the wing stations - but, obviously! not
all at the same time!! (see notes for more information).
 
This pack contains the following aircraft & skin/decal sets:
 
Beaufighter Mk.VIF Standard CC Scheme (Overall MSG/Dark Green disruptive)
No. 236 Squadron, Coastal Command
 
The Squadron Crest for each is used as the paint chip seen on the Loadout
Screen.
Skins are in jpg format, as are the bump maps. Damage textures are in DDS.
Everything is included (rockets,bombs,chickens,beer), 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 squadron code letters (either
for ETO or MTO usage). As is my habit, a sample bmp are 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 units
represented.
 
When in-game, you'll see:
 
Beaufighter Mk VIF (Early) (CAF)
 
for this aircraft. The "CAF" (for Cocas Aircraft Factory) will diferentiate
these Beaus from any others you may or may not have. I've left it as "VIF", as
I really don't know what else to call it!! :)
 
As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are
included. So, please =READ= them BEFORE installing this mod!!!. Also, give the
"Notes" section a read too.

SF2 WW2 French Navy Aircraft and Ships Pak 2/16/2014
 
= For SF2 (Full 5 Merged REQIRED!)
 
**This mod -WILL NOT- work in 1stGen game installs. It's designed for the the SF2NA environment**
This is a VERY odd package, probably one of the oddest I've ever done! It contains both historical and "What If..." items.
I really don't know if this belongs in the "What If" Hangar, or the Regular WW2 Downloads Section. But it may increase the "fun factor" of having something different. I'd started this mod in July, 2013, and just never got around to finishing it.
 
This package contains aircraft and ships of the French Navy for WW2.
 
Aircraft (Real):
Grumman G-36A (Martlet I/F4F-3), Flottile 13 (somewhat real, somewhat What If)
V-156F (Vought SB2U) E/AB-1 (real *model is a stand-in*)
SBD-3 Dauntless Flotille 3 (real, circa 1943/44)
 
Aircraft (What If...):
Sea Hurrican Ib, Flotille 12
Martlet IVF (F4F-4) Flotille 13
 
Ships:
PA Bearn Class CV*
PA Joffre Class CV*
Suffren Class CA
Malin Class DD*
 
Ships marked with the star (*), while having historical names and numbers, are complete and utter "stand-ins". However, everything DOES work (more or less). The Suffren class CAs are, of course, Foch, and are correctly shaped.
 
For those aircraft with working canopies (G-36A, Hurricane) and folding wing (just the Martlet IV), the Standard Animation Keystrokes are used; shift/0 for the canopy and shift/9 for the wings.
 
As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. PLEASE read them!!! Also, you might want to give the (rather extensive) "Notes" section a read for historcal and non-historical backgrounds. The "credits" section breaks down "who has what and where did it come from".
Also, please remember, some of these models are very old, and may have some "issues" in SF2.

The Squadron Crest for each is used as the paint chip seen on the Loadout Screen.

Yet another repaint/repurpose of Stephan1918's EXCELLENT First Eagles cargo ships. This time, we're representing merchant ships of the Italian Navy (Regia Marina) of WW2.
 
This will give you something other than the stock cargo ship or anything else (available or not) for auntie-shipping missions in The Med
These ships ARE armed, to 2 20mm guns, so they WILL shoot back when under attack!!

**UPDATED to Ver 2!!**
 
= For SF2, Full-4/5 Merged (Reccomended/Preferred) =
-For WW2 PTO Usage ONLY!-
 
*Note: This mod updates the original pak from June, 2013. It is desinged to
REPLACE, it total, that pak. After unzipping, you MAY dorp it over your existing
one, or delete the older RAAF Pak (BETTER!!), and just use this. If you don't have the
original, then no worries!! :)

Australian Air Force in the South West Pacific area (Oz, PNG, Indonesia, Timor,
etc region). NOT for use in the CBI theatre!!!

The aircraft is finished in standard RAF Day Scheme (Green/Grey/Lt Grey unders)
All skins are in jpg format, Decal Randomization is TRUE.
All markings are decals (excepting National Markings, that are painted on);
making it supremely easy to recreate other squadron users.
For 79 Squadron only, Serial numbers marked with a star (*) for either skin
represent actual aircraft, 100% matched to their plane-in-group-numbers. Those
withOUT, while having served with the respective squadrons, could not be match
to specific aircraft. For 452 Squadron, ALL are 100% historically correct.
All weapons (drop tanks), sounds, pilot figure(s) (including the 'fake pilot')
are included. Guns/bombs are NOT included; you should have them already.
New Hangar and Loading screens are included. The appropriate Squadron Crest is
used for the paint chip on both skins.
