SF2 WW2 PTO F6F-5 Hellcat Skins Pak 9/10/2013
 
-- Something for the PTO players --
 
= For SF2, Full-5 Merged (Reccomended/Preferred) =
 
Some new skins for Geo's F6F Hellcat; in particular for the F6F-5 Mod I did of it.
 
If you don't already have it, You can find the aircraft at the following URL:
 
http://combatace.com/files/file/13316-sf2-ww2-pto-f6f-hellcat-pak/
 
You'll also need to be sure you have the update pak installed as well (that adds a few interesting goodies), available at the following URL:
 
http://combatace.com/files/file/13541-sf2-ww2-faa-f6f-5-hellcat-skin-and-ini-update-pak/
 
I've listed these in case there are newcomers, or old timers that haven't "caught up". This is simple and basic CYA.
 
Again, PLEASE NOTE!!! These skins are for Geo's Hellcat =ONLY=, NOT for the DAT ones.
 
Skin/Decal sets included in this pack are for...
 
VF-7 "Lucky 7", USS Hancock
VF-11 "Sundowners", USS Hornet
VF-14 "Iron Angels", USS Wasp
 
All aircraft carry the correct "G" system markings for the time frame.
Decal randomization is set to TRUE for all. All are in the later "Dark Gloss Navy Blue" overall finish.
 
They depict late(ish) war schemes (Dark Gloss Navy Blue), in particularly in last quarter of 1944, and to war's end (ie: Battle of the Phillipine Sea, and Invasion of the Phillipines timeframe.)
Each skin uses the historical WW2 squadron patch as the paint chip, seen on the Loadout Screen.
 
A slightly tweeked data ini is also included, as I changed the pilot's position slightly to remove a clipping issue on the canopy rail. Make SURE you have the update pack listed above installed FIRST before appling this new data ini!!!
 
As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them. Also, give the "Notes" section a read too.

Hawk 75A-C7, ML-KNIL
 
=for SF2, (Full4/5 merged reccomended)
 
-Something for the PTO players*-
 
*even if we don't have an NEI map; at least you'll have the aircraft.*
 
This is a revamp for SF2, a modification of Wolf257's P-36/Mohawk into the Hawk 75 export version, as used by several Allied nations
.
It represents aircraft from the ML-KNIL during the opening days of the War in the Pacific, in the defense of the Netherlands East Indies (Java and Sumatra, for those that don't know)
 
This creates a country specific version for use in your World War 2: PTO installs ONLY!! As such, all the loadout have been adjusted to fit KLU aircraft of the time. The 'fake pilot method" (patentpending) is used to add the 2 underwing pylons for light bombs (either RAF50 or US 100 pounders)
 
This is the complete aircraft; serial numbers are historically correct, but I could not determine which squadron used what number; consider them generic in this respect. A new cockpit (one of Stary's WW2 pits) replaces the original, as the gauge needles have disappeared due to a material issue. This cockpit MAY be more historicaly correct; French Hawk75s used a reflector gunsight -so perhaps they were also used on other export versions.
 
I've also adjusted the operational service years/dates; they historically were all destroyed by February, 1942; in the 1stGen version we couldn't have the mm/dd/yyyy but now in SF2 we can have them end on the 28th of Feburary.
 
As always, fairly easy to follow, highly detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them. Also, give the "Notes" section a read too. Remember -- these are very old models, so they "are as they is". All original readmes, when discoverable, are included.

SF2 WW2 Ki-27 "Nate"
 
-- Something for the PTO 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, due to the excessive modifications made to fit them into the SF2 environment.*
 
This is a compilation of all my work, and anyone elses I could find, for Wolf's K-27 Nate IJAAF fighter. It is designed to replace ALL the previously released versions. So, be advised.
 
This pak comprises the complete aircraft, with several skins from differing time frames of WW2. Most are for those units based in China, Indo-China/Malaysia and Burma regions, with one I've been able to ID as being used in Japan in the last days of the war. Skins are by myself and Jeff "pcpilot" Gerald.
 
It has semi-compliant (VERY! semi!) SF2 Flight Models, but they REALLLLLLY do need further fine tuning by experts (meaning: it turns on a dime, and gives back 9.5 cents change).
All skins are in jpg format, and decal randomization (for those with ID numbers) is set to TRUE. the 77 Sentai skins use decals for the Chutai markings. I've tried, as best as possible, to use the 'StartDefaultDate' on all skins to limit the availability for pre-War markings from those that came into being post-American entry into WW2. 2 of these skins are Sentai that operated in Manchuria against the Soviets in the Late 1930s.
 
A new SF2 version of the old 'box art' Hangar Screen is included.
Sounds are included (which you prolly have anyway, along with the bombs and drop tanks.) A new glass tga finally allows the aircraft to have visible windows.
 
As always, fairly easy to follow, highly detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them. Also, give the "Notes" section a read too.
All readmes from the original releases, and re-releases, are included where discoverable from the archives.
 
This will give the AVG guys something to go up against -- 77 Sentai was one of their main antagonists.
Also included is my HomeGrown Template ™. It too, could use some enhancing.
Remember folks, the physical model is very old; "it is as it is", and any flaws/faults cannot be fixed without the unavailable MAX files.

SF2 WW2 PTO Ki-43 Oscar by ArmorDave
 
-- Something for the PTO players --

*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.*
 
This is an SF2 version of my 1stGen "AD Oscar Update Pak". I'd forgotten to upload it (what with all the personal computer drama lately...and still ongoing...) so here it is now.
 
Unlike the original SF/Wo* pak, I've created all 3 skins for the 11 Sentai; each of the 3 Chutai are represented by different color lightning bolt on the tail.
The other skin included is 1 Sentai, 3 Chutai, iirc, from the CBI region.
 
All skins are jpg, and as these Sentai used no individual aircraft numbers, the only marking are the tail decals (for 11 Sentai)
 
As expected, it has a semi-compliant SF2 Flight Models, but they do need further fine tuning by experts.
To diferentiate it from the Wolf Oscar, in-game you'll see the displayed name:
 
Ki-43-Ia "Oscar" (AD)
 
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.

SF2 WW2 PTO Mitsubishi G3M Nell Pak by Veltro2K
 
-- Something for the PTO players --
= For SF2, Full-5 Merged (ONLY!!!) =
 
*** Important Note: due to the use of SF2NA coding for the Naval Strike (aka 'Cruise Missle') usage, you MUST have built you PTO mods folder from the SF2NA exe. The torpedo supplied herein is set as a short range cruise missile, and will ABSOLUTELY NOT work in 1stGens at any patch level, and may not work properly in SF2 game installs withOUT SF2NA in the merged core files. Also, the use of 'open cockpit' and other statements in various inis preclude it use in SF/Wo* 1stGen games. Also, having SF2I Expansion Pak 1 is a must, as the destroyed model referenced herein uses the C-47A destroyed model. If you do NOT have SF2I Exp1, you'll have to find another desetroyed lod to reference.***
 
A re-release of Veltro's G3M "Nell" IJN attack bomber. Inside you'll find...
 
The original skin, overall green/light green-blue unders that I've tentativly identified as the Mihoro Naval Air Corps (later redesignated 701 Kokutai).
A NEW "quick and dirty" one by me, representing Chitose NAC (later 703 Kokutai), with 18 new 'plane-in-group/serial decals. It's also the green/blue-grey.
 
The skins are in jpg format, the orignal decals (17) are resued on the Mihoro/701 skin, and 18 new decal were created for the Chitose/701 skin.Decal Randomization is set to TRUE. All IJAAF/IJN weapons (bombs), including the NA-style semi-experimental 'cruise missle' torpedo. Pilot figures, and a 'new' engine sound from the AvHistory sounds set. Both the Hangar and Loading screens are brand new for this reissue.
 
To reduce the chance of conflicts with any other Nells you may (or may not) have, everthing is refered to by the 'v2k' suffix. So, when in game, you'll see
 
G3M2 Model 22 "Nell" (V2K)
 
on the aircraft selection dropdown menu.
 
As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. PLEASE read them!!! PLEASE read the "Notes" section for the change list, and other important notations. Also, the Legal Statement has been changed with regards to this aircraft.
For those that still have the original release, it's advised you delete the aircraft and decals folders for them; this pak is desinged to replace them in total.
 
**The aircraft herein are released in "AS IS" Condition. The source files have been lost, and there can and WILL be no modifications to the physical model. It 'are as it is' and you must accept them with this caveat in mind. Any and all issues/problems that cannot be solved via ini edits will exist forever, as new models are unlikely to be created.**

SF2 WW2 PTO P-400 Airacobra (Export) Pak by Veltro2k 5/25/2014

= 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)

= For SF2 ONLY, Full-5 Merged (Reccomended/Preferred) =
 
*Note: this mod is most likely =NOT= usable in 1stGen installs at any patch level. This may be due to the use of a 'late model' cockpit.*
 
**Notex2: this mod is designed for use ONLY in a PTO-Centric mods folder**
 
This package contains a SF2 version of Raven's P-40B/C Tomahawk, in use by the USAAC just before, and during, the opening months of The Pacific War. While considered a 'beta', the aircraft is 100% all there. As I understood it, the beta tag is ONLY because the cockpit was never finished. In that light, I've substituted one of Stary's Generic Cockpits ™.
 
The skins included are:
 
47th PS, 15th PG, Bellows Field, Hawaii, December 1941 "Pearl Harbor Defender"
20th PS, 24th PG, Phillipines, December 1941
DOD41 - representative of aircraft from August to November 1941
 
Skins maps remain in their bmp format. The SF2 'date switch' is NOT used on any of these skins.
All markings are decals, and Decal Randomization is TRUE. The Hangar screen is a revamped Sf2 version of my original "AvArt". All sounds, drop tank and pilot figure are included. Guns are not, as they're stock items. Service dates are rounded to "whole months". The canopy operates with the Standard Animation Keystroke, Shift/0. Be advised, this aircraft has a short service life, as the E models were already in service when the US entered the war.
 
When in-game, you'll see
 
P-40B/C Tomahawk (Raven)
 
On the aircraft selection drop-down. This will diferentiate it from Wolf's P-40B/C mod. In fact, =THIS= mod is designed to replace, completely, any and all earlier versions.

A new skin for Raven's P-40N, a "generic" representation of USAAF P-40Ns in SoWesPac
Theatre (read: New Guinea). Although the "Displayed Name" on the Loadout Screen will
say "7th FS, 49th FG" (the Bunyaps), they are to be considered a bit more generic than
Squadron Specific. Even though the individual plane-in-group numbers fits those of the
7th's usage.
 
Skins remain in their bmp format.
New DDS damage textures (usable on all Raven's Warhawk/Kittyhawk in SF2 only) are
included.
A slightly modified data ini, with some flight model tweeks, and switching to the
AvHistory engine sound. So, be prepared to back up some inis for saftey!!! A new
textureset ini for the "Bare Metal" skin is included, that adds Decal Randomization
for SF2. A new userlist ini was created, for the Export Customers.
All markings are decals, and Decal Randomization is TRUE. Also, via the use of my

No weapons are included, except SF2 Versions of the new drop tanks (for those that

A backup copy of the original data ini is included, so you don't need to back up your original.
You also get a NEW box-art style loading screen.
 
New plane-in-squadron ID numbers, and serials number decals (where used) were created for those using them. The PIS numbers follow the correct sequencing. The serials, while correct for the mark, should be considered 'generic' in nature, as they represent no particular aircraft with the squadrons depicted. Decal randomization is TRUE.

SF2 WW2 PTO PBJ-1H Mitchell (USMC) "Gunship" Pak by Veltro2K 7/20/2014
 
-- Something for the WW2 PTO players --
 
= 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 probably -NOT- work in 1stGen game installs at any patch level. This has not/cannot be tested by me. Also, some SF2NA 'mission tasking' has been added, so SF2NA is pretty much a requirement.**
 
This is a "Theatre/Service Specific" release of Veltro2K's =NEW= B-25H Mitchell Medium Bomber. This represents those as used by the US Marines, as the PBJ-1H. This package WILL replace any other PBJ-1H mods you may (or may not) have. If you DO have the version I did based on the DAT's B-25H, you are advised to DELETE it, and it's associated decals folder completly. This =WILL= replace that one totally.
 
There are 1 skin/decals set(s) in the package:
 
VMB-613
 
as used in the Central Pacific (Marshalls, Gilberts -which, unfortunately, we don't have a map for with ground bases..!- I'll put it on the 'to do' list) in 1944 thru the War's End. VMB-613 was the ONLY USMC squadron to be equipped totally with the H model Mitchell with the 75mm gun.
 
The skin is in jpg format,
All markings are decals, and Decal Randomization is TRUE. There ARE nose arts (ie: names), and all BuNums have been matched to their aircraft Modex number. As seen on the numberlst, those marked with a star (*) are 100% correctly matched to BuNum/Modex/Nose Art. Those named/displayed withOUT the star, could not be matched to their Modex/BuNum.
 
Included are Engine sounds, pilot figures, and a new Hangar screen. Operational service dates are rounded to 'whole months', and ARE relatively correct for in-theatre usage.
The 75mm gun is included; all other weapons you should have already. Also, provisions for mounting rockets, and the rockets themselves are included. The torpedo station remains active, although research has not turned up any squadrons using them operationally.
The guns have been grouped as follows:
 
GunGroup=1 -- machine guns
GunGroup=2 -- the Cannon
 
So, have keys set up accordingly
 
When in game, you'll see:
 
PBJ-1H Mitchell (v2k)
 
on the Aircraft Selection Drop down menu. This will differentiate it from any other Marine Mitchells you may (or may not) have.
 
As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. PLEASE read them!!! Also, see if you can spot the Easter Egg ™.
 
Happy Landings!!

SF2 WW2 PTO RAAF Kittyhawk Mk.IA Pak
 
-- Something for the WW2 PTO 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) 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 PTO-Centric mods folder**
 
A first, I was just going to do a simple skin/decals pack. But with all the "modifications" made to fit (better) into SF2, in particular the 5/2013 patch level (oi!), chose to take the "lazy man's way out" and just upload the entire aircraft.
 
When in-game, on the aircraft selection drop-down, you'll see
 
Kittyhawk Mk.1A (Raven)
 
This will diferentiate this for any other Kittyhawks you may (or may not) have.
This is the full aircraft, "nationalized" for Australian use, as stated above, with my 'tweeked' sf2-ish data ini (and a backuped copy of the original too!). The skin included is for...
 
No.75 Squadron, RAAF
 
as seen from mid/late April 1942 in the Port Moresby, PNG area
 
Skins remain in their bmp format.
New DDS damage textures (usable on all Raven's Warhawk/Kittyhawk in SF2 only) are included!
New aircraft plane-in-group letter decals, and RAAF serials - 95% historically accurate - matched to the individual letter, are included. On the numberlist, those marked with a star (*) have been postively confirmed to have served in 75 Squadron.
 
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.
 
The skins have been run through the template (thank you Raven for that!), and have had a layer of dirt and 'clouds' added for weathering.
 
As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. PLEASE read them!!

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 explaination.
 
REMINDER: this pack contains PTO Bubbletop Jugs =ONLY= !!! Other theatres/users will follow as time permits, and as they are completed.

Skin(s) included are:
 
41st FS, 35th FG (circa late 1944, Philippines)
 
All markings are decals, excepting the 41st's nose marking (which is painted on, as are the rudder stripes). Decal randomization is set to TRUE.
Damage textures are also new, in DDS format.
I'm trying out a 'new style' of hangar screen, so I hope you like it.
The canopy opens/closes with the Standard Animation Keystroke ™, Shift/0
Pilots, sounds, weapons are all included.
 
As there are several P-74D Bubbletops available, when in game you'll see:
 
P-47D-25 Thunderbolt (CAF)
 
on the aircraft selection dropdown menu. This will diferentiate it from any others that you may (or may not) have.

SF2 WW2 PTO Republic P-47D "Razorback" Thunderbolt by Cocas 12/24/2014
 
= 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 0.9", 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 is for PTO Razorback Jugs -only-!!! And by PTO, this means SoWesPac, NOT CBI, not the Solomons, etc!!! This would include New Guinea, points north and west, and obviously the Philipines. Other theatres will follow as they are completed.**
 
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):
340th FS, 348th FG (SWP, late 43/early 44 w/star-and-bar)
310th FS, 58th FG, (SWP/New Guinea region, late 43/early 44)
 
All markings are decals, and Decal randomization is TRUE.
The aircraft is finished in standard 0D/Grey, with Southwest Pacfic markings.
Please note, SWP Theatre, Squadron and/or Group specific markings -ARE- painted on.
The serials herein should be considered "generic" in nature, but ARE for the correct model variant. For the most part, there are NO nose arts, with the exception of a few for the 340th, "borrowed" from Major Lee's 348th FG skin set.
 
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.
 
As there are several P-74D Razorbacks available, when in game you'll see:
 
P-47D-5 Thunderbolt (CAF)(Mid 43)
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.
 
As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. PLEASE read them!!! Also, as usual, PLEASE!! give the "Notes" section a read, too.

As seen in the SoWePac theatre in late 1943 through early 1945 (aircraft then were replaced with J models)

SF2 WW2 PTO/CBI Nakajima Ki-44 Tojo by Geo
 
= For SF2, Full-4/5 Merged (Reccomended/Preferred) =
 
*There is a possibility that this mod will =MAY= work in SF/Wo* 1stGen game installs at any patch level. However, due to some/many of modifications made to fit them into the SF2 environment, not all features will be active.*
 
** Notex2: The aircraft herin have several different skins ... for the CBI, SoWesPac (ie: Dutch East Indies), (semi) Central Pacific (read: Phillipines), Home Islands defense. I've tried to tag them as best as I can. If running seperate CBI and general PTO mods folders, you may want to seperate them out, or move the texture listing around to fit your usage. **
 
This model seems to be either the Ki-44-Ib, Ic or IIB, as it carries the 4 12.7mm machine guns. I chose to call it the "Ic".
Skins within the pack are the originals from Geo's 1stGen release. They are (as bes as I can ID them):
 
23 Sentai
29 Sentai (PI)
47 Sentai
50 Sentai, 1 Chutai (CBI)
85 Sentai (CBI -china mostly)
 
23 & 47 both carry the 'white bandage' marking that usually denote Home Islands Defense, but some units around Pelambang, NEI also carried them.
 
New (semi)compliant SF2 FM was cobbled together. As has become expected, the FM is NOT perfect, and needs further fine-tuning by Experts. A New SF2 style "box art" hangar screen, Geo's original 2 loading screens, converted to jpg, so you can switch to whichever one you like better. Weapons (drop tanks and bombs), guns, a pilot figure and engine sounds are included. All skins remain in their original bmp format, and decal randomization is set to TRUE (for the few number decals we have). As is usual, all lighting is 100% historically correct.
The canopy has been switched to the Standard Animation Keystroke, Shift/0.
Damage textures are new, in DDS format.
 
As always, fairly easy to follow, highly detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them. Also, give the "Notes" section a read too. All original readmes are included for historical purposes (when discoverable from the archives)
 
Happy Hunting!
