SF2 WW2 RAAF Dakota (C-47A)
 
-- Something for the WW2 players --
 
= For SF2, Full-4/5 Merged -PLUS- SF2I Expansion Pak 1 Required!!! =
 
*Note: you MUST have SF2I Expansion Pak 1 to gain access to the C-47A to add this mod to. If you do
not meet this requirement, DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS MOD, as you'll be unable to use it.*
 
A quickie redecaling of the 3W Skytrain to represent Royal Australian Air Force Dakotas in the SoWesPac region. 12 serial number/radio callsign decals are included; these are 100% historically accurate for the aircraft depicted. However, lack of clear shots of the tail made me 'guess' as to the use of the fin flash. I think it looks nice, so I left it on (some seem to have had it, some not)
 
As always, fairly easy to follow, yet fairly detailed install instructions are included. So, please
read them.
This is another bird that will look nice sitting parked around you WW2 PTO airfields!
 
enjoy!

SF2 WW2 RAF Bombers Pak
 
= For SF2 (Full4/5 Merged RECCOMENDED! w/Expansion Pak 1)
 
**Note: Having SF2I Expansion Pak 1 is HIGHLY reccomended, as a few of the destroyed models referenced reach over to the stock destroyed C-47A. If you do NOT have Exp1, you will NOT have the burning wreck on the ground. You will have to locate some other destroyed model for use. Also, due to the extensive modifications to the cockpit and data ini, this mod will absolutely -NOT- work in 06 level 1stGen game installs. 08 Level 1stGens may have some issues, but this has not/cannot be tested by me.**
 
This pak contains a reissue of Veltro2K's RAF light, medium and heavy bombers used by the RAF during WW2. Unless otherwise notated, all are RAF Bomber Command squadrons. This (VERY LARGE!) pak contains the following aircraft/skin sets (the name in parenthesis is the actual skin folder name)...
 
-Handley Page Halifax
10 Squadron (Hali)
 
-Handley Page Hampden
49 Squadron (RAF)
 
-Lockheed Hudson
224 Squadron (raf1)
48 Squadron, Coastal Command (CC)
459 Squadron, RAAF (MTO -desert camo)
VBP-82, US Navy, NAS Argentia, Newfoundland (USN)
 
-Short Stirling
7 Squadron (Stir)
 
-Vickers Wellington
12 Squadron (12)
 
Skins remain in bmp format, decal randomization is set to TRUE. Almost all the original decals have been replaced (squadron codes, aircraft ID letters, serials on some, etc) with new builds or repurposed units from my stock of RAF codes. Almost all markings ARE decals. There are no nose arts. Damage textures are in DDS format. Weapons (the RAF bomb set and the 303 gun) are included.
All the 1stGen Hangar and Loading screens were either rebuilt to SF2-spec, or created new for this package. They are in jpg format.
 
The various inis make use of the 'hide component' or the 'open cockpit' statements to make sure the cockpits are where they're supposed to be. This, unfortunately, prevents their use in SF/Wo* games at the 06 patch level, as stated above. Flight modeling, for the most part, remains as originally issued.
*Note: includes any/all "tweeks paks" released after the original releases*
See "Changes" in the Notes section for more details.
 
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 these aircraft.
For those that still have the original releases, it's advised you delete the aircraft and decals folders for them; this pak is desinged to replace them in total.
 
**These 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. They 'are as they 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 RAF Boston III Pak (DAT)
 
= For SF2 (Full4/5 Merged RECCOMENDED!)
 
**This mod -MAY- work in 1stGen game installs. But this has not/cannot be tested by me. **
 
This pak contains mods for the Dev A-Teams Boston III light attack bomber, as seen in
Western Europe (ETO) from 1941 through War's End. This is a semi-complete aircraft mod, as
per DAT directives, the aircraft lod is =NOT= included. So, those users that cannot access
the DAT downloads, you're advised to skip this, as it's of no use to you.
Those users with access, will be transfering the lod from the Wings Over Africa, or from a
seperate DAT download of the A-20C/Boston III. This mod has been built and tested with the
A-20_Boston-R3a24.lod from WoA. You =WILL= need this, to copy/paste into this aircraft's
folder
 
The skins from my Home Grown Template ™, and remain in their bmp format. New decals
were created as needed for serials, plane-in-group letters and others. 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
Weapons (bombs) and guns are NOT included; you should have them already.
The skins included herein are, basically, the ones I'd had posted on my (now closed) site.
There is one new-build. You have:
 
Standard 1941(ish) Day Scheme (dark earth/dark green/sky)
 
No. 88 "Hong Kong" Squadron (code RH)
No. 107 Squadron (Code OM)
 
Standard Day Scheme (CC?), 1942/3-ish (dark green/ocean grey/medium sea grey)
 
RAF2 (that's the folder's name...)
for a fictional squadron; that according to the books, started in Havocs before transfering
to Mossquitos. This is easily rebranded, via squadon letter code decal, to a Real Life
™ squadron.
(Note: there is, in my mind, some lack of historicality on this skin on Boston IIIs. Most
of the profiles and pictures seem to show they carried the darkearth/darkgreen until
retirement late in the war. Boston IVs more than likely carried this late scheme)
 
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.
The inis make use of the 'hide component' or the 'open cockpit' statements to make sure
the cockpits are where they're supposed to be. This may prevent them for working in 1stGens
at any patch level.
The Canopy (ok, cockpit hatch) has been switched to the Standard Animation Keystroke ™,
Shift/0.
 
As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. PLEASE
read them!!!
For those that may still have my 1stGen releases, it's advised you delete, or move to a
storage disk or elsewhere, the aircraft and decals folders for them; this pak is desinged
to replace them in total.
The readmes for the original skins from 2005 are residing in the 107 and RAF2 skin
folders. They may make for entertaining reading.

= 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,

SF2 WW2 Royal Navy Corsair Mk.1 by Mod Mafia/TMF
 
= For SF2, Full-5 Merged (Reccomended/Preferred) =
-- Something for the ETO --
 
*Note: There is a distinct possibility that this mod =MAY= work in SF/Wo* 1stGen game installs. However, due to the excessive modifications made to fit them into the SF2 environment. End Users ™ that attempt to do so, do so at their own risk. A Full 4/5 Merged install is reccomened; at very minimum, SF2:V is required, as this aricraft references the A-1H's destroyed model. Also, some of the SF2 only "switches" will NOT work in 1stGens.*
 
A brand "new" model that was never completed when Bpao passed away a few year back. I've been fortunate enough to be allowed to complete his work, as a member of the Mod Mafia.
 
This is the Royal Navy Fleet Air Arm Corsair Mk.1 as seen 1943-ish, when first issued to RN squadron. It should be noted, that almost NONE of the Mk.1s were used in combat, but mostly for training as the Mk.II followed right on it's heels. Essentially, this is the "Birdcage" Corsair. Unlike the Mk.II and Mk.IV, these never got the "clipped wings", and had very limited use aboard RN Carriers. Like the USMC/USN Birdcage, it is fully combat-capable, but in Real Life ™ was rarely used so.
 
Skin/Decals are included are for:
 
1830 Squadron, as seen at New Brusnwick, Maine (USA) before transport to the UK.
 
All skins are in jpg format. Decals are used for all markings, and Randomization is TRUE. A "new" SF2 style hangar screen was created for this aircraft. Damage textures are the old tga versions.
A user list is included; operational service dates have been rounded to the closest whole Year (ie: 1943), even though its a "Nationalized" version.
 
The aircraft is fully carrier capable. The canopy operates via the Standard Animation Keystorke ™ of Shift/0. Breaking with Modder Tradition, the wingfold operates via the "airbrakes" key. I didn't change to the standard Shift/9, as the last time I did it, I broke it!. So, it is as it was originally set by Bpao.
 
All lighting is historically accurate. WW2 weapons (ie: bombs, rockets) are NOT included. You should have them already. The drop tank is, as is the pilot figure and engine sounds (which you may also have already!).
when 'in game', you'll see "Corsair Mk.I "Birdcage" (TMF)" in the aircraft selection drop-down window. This will diferentiate it from any other RN Corsairs you may (or may not) have. (or that are still to come!)
 
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 futher explinations, clarifactions, illuminations and so forth.

SF2 WW2 SB2C Helldiver, "Blank" Skin Pak 9/12/2013
 
- For SF2 WW2 and Whenever Players -
 
This pak contains a set of 3 "blank" markingless skins for Veltro2K's Helldivers. They are:
 
SB2C-1:
 
Standard 3-tone
(note: the -1 uses a different -s map due to the 3 bladded prop)
 
SB2C3 thru 5:
 
Standard 3-tone
Overall Dark Gloss Navy Blue
 
(The enclosed screenshot is a -5 in 3-tone. All others are identical to those already available, but minus the US Star-bar)
 
As stated, there are NO national or squadron markings (ie: for USN use) of any kind. This will allow skinners (and WhatIfers) to create/recrate the various squadron and national markings via decal placement. With the several skins out already, decal placement locations have pretty much all been pre-plotted. A decent skinner should easily be able to figure out any others.
 
As always, fairly simple install instructions are included. So, please read them.

http://combatace.com/files/file/13772-curtiss-sb2c-1-helldiver/
 
This pak contains a brand new 3-tone camo skin and 'generic' modex number decal set. The skin iteself can be also considered generic, as all units, when the Helldiver first entered service, were painted in the 3-tone. Some, including -3 & -4 models, carried it until VJ-Day. However, after late 43/early 44, the "G" system of Air Group marking came into being. This pak does NOT contain any G-system markings. They can easily be added via decals ini tweeking. And probably will be, as time permits :) .
 
Included are Tweeked Data, loadout, and main inis as well as Sounds; weapons are NOT included. (excepting the drop tank). A brand NEW SF2-stye 'flight deck' hangar screen is.
The skin is in jpg format, and decal randomization is set to TRUE.

SF2 WW2 SEAC Bristol Beaufighter NF Mk.1 (Late), v.9 by Cocas 3/26/2014

*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.

This package is for CBI (in particular, Burma and India aka "SEAC") Spitfire V Trops -ONLY!!!-. NOT to be used elsewhere! This is a Theatre Specific aircraft package! The data ini uses the correct dates for Mk V arrivals in India.
REMINDER: this is for use =ONLY= in a WW2 CBI-centric mods folder.
 
The Skin(s) included with the package are:
 
No. 615 Squadron "County of Surrey" RAuxAF
 
as based in the Chittigong region of India (present day Bangledesh) upon arrival in-theatre.
The Squadron Crest are used as the paint chip, as seen on the Loadout screen.
 
This pack makes use of the Brain32 trick of having the skin maps in the MAIN aircraft folder, NOT in the individual squadron folders. As almost all SEAC (Burma/India) based Spitfires were painted the same camo, this reduces the size of the package. Only the squadron codes would need changing.
Like the other CAF Spitfires, the skin is in jpg format. All markings are decals, and Decal Randomization is TRUE.
The canopy operates via the Standard Animation Keystroke ™, Shift/0. Guns are also grouped, MGs in Group 1, the cannon in Group 2. Guns, weapons, etc are NOT included, but the AvHistory Merlin engine sound is. You
should have all the rest.

This is the Vickers/Supermarine Spitfire Mk.1A. This pak contains skins/decal sets for the following RAF Squadrons:
 
No. 41
No. 54
No. 92
No. 610
 
in their 'Battle of Britain' livery. National markings are painted on, and all the aircraft use a 'pool' of indvidual call letters (A,B,C, etc) and serial numbers (all historiclly Mk.1s). Each has the Squadron letters (DW, EB, QJ, etc) also as decals. This will make it easier for other squadrons to be created by simply making new 2-digit Squadron letters. There is a blank bmp called "DW" in the 41 Squadron decals folder that can be resued for this. Those that know how, can duplicate my work quite easily.
 
All skins are in jpg format, Decal Randomization is TRUE. A new SF2 version of the original 'box art' hangar and loading screens are included. Damage textures are dds format. A 'destroyed.lod' is included, taken from the WW2 terrains (its used for destroyed statics). Those with SF2I Expansion Pak1 can easliy switch to the 3W destroyed Spit lod.
The canopy/entry door open with the Standard Animation Keystroke ™, Shift/0. For those RAF Squadron listed in the game's SquadronList.ini, my 'fake sqtail' decal will activate their "Displayed Name" on the LoadoutScreen.
 
When 'in game', you'll see "Spitfire Mk.1A (TMF)" on the aircraft drop-down selection window. This will differentiate it from any other Mk.1s you may have. The Official Squadron Crest ™ is used for the 'paint chip' for each skin.

Those without a star, while having served within the Squadrons represented, could NOT be matched to any specific aircraft. This is true for all 3 Squadrons represented in this package.

= For SF2, Full-4/5 Merged (Reccomended/Preferred) =
 
- For WW2 CBI Usage =ONLY!= -
 
*Note: There is a distinct possibility that this mod MAY work in SF/Wo* 1stGen game installs.
However, some data ini statements will not be in effect in 1stGen SF/Wo* at any patch level (with the possible exception of WoI plus it's ExpansionPak -this has not been tested, as I ONLY mod for SF2). It is designed for use in SF2, at the most current patch level. Your milage will vary!*
 
*Note2: it's RECCOMENDED you have whichever SF2 Expansion pak that gave us the Spit 9s. This mod references that destroyed model for it's own use*
 
This is a reskin/redecalling of the TMF Mk.VIII Spit for use by the Royal Air Force in the China/Burma/India (although, truthfully, only in India and Burma!). However, in the case of simplifying installation, this is the FULL aircraft. This makes is easier.
 
Skin/Decals set included is for:
 
No. 81 Squadron, RAF as delivered in 1943
 
The aircraft is finished in standard SEA Scheme (Dark Green/Dark Earth/Lt Grey unders).
The skin is in jpg format, and Decal Randomization is TRUE. It reuses the SF2 version of the 'box art' hangar screen as originally issued with the RAAF Spit 8.
 
All markings are decals (excepting National Markings, these are painted on); making it supremely easy to recreate other squadron users. Serial numbers are for Mk.VIIIs, but should be considered 'generic' in nature.
 
This is a (semi) "nationalized" version, for RAF Burma/India use =ONLY=. Meaning: for a CBI-centric mods folder. All weapons, sounds, pilot figure(s) (including the 'fake pilot') are included.
The Canopy opens with the Standard Animation Keystroke ™, Shift/0
Damage textures are DDS.
 
When 'in game', you'll see "Spitfire Mk.VIII (TMF) B/I" in the aircraft selection drop-down window. This will diferentiate it from any other Mk.VIIIs you may (or may not) have .

SF2 WW2 SWP Bristol Beaufighter Mk.1C, RAAF, v.9 by Cocas 2/10/2014
 
-- Something for the WW2 PTO 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!! Also, some statements for anti-ship/naval strike
require having SF2NA as part of your merged install (meaning: your WW2 PTO mods
folder built from the SF2NA exe).*
 
*Note x2: This mod represents RAAF Beau Mk.1cs for SouthWestPacific use ONLY!
This is an Australian-only, Nationalized version. Seperate versions are in the
works for MTO and CBI usage, as their start/end dates tend to differ.*
 
This is a BRAND NEW aircraft, brought to you by Cocas Aircraft Factory & Co.
This is part of a set of Beaufighters. This package contains 1 aircraft,
representing the early procduction Beaufighters ICs. These have the flat or no
dihedral horizontial stabs.
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.1C (Day Fighter/Strike)
 
No 30 Squadron, RAAF
 
This pack represents RAAF Beaus 1Cs, as they when they first arrived in-
theatre, and their use in SoWesPac (Read: New Guinea and Darwing maps) through
1944.
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).
All markings are decals, and decal randomization is set to TRUE.
As seen on the Loadout Screen, those letters marked with a star (*) have their
serial numbers matched 100% to their plane-in-group letter. Those withOUT the
star, while having served with 30 Squadron, could not be matched to thei
individual aircraft.
 
When in-game, you'll see:
 
Beaufighter Mk IC (RAAF) (CAF)
 
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.

SF2 WW2 PTO Ventura, Harpoon, Lodestar Adjustment Pak            8/29/2017
 -- For the WW2  players --

This package contains a new, modified data inis for the following aircraft:
Pacific Theatre:
Lockheed PV-1 Ventura (Early)
Lockheed PV-1 Ventura (Mid)
Lockheed PV-1 Ventura (Late)
LOckheed PV-2 Harpoon
Lockheed C-60 Lodestar (transport/cargo)
European Theatre:
Ventura Mk.II (RAF)

Included are "backed up" copies of the original data inis for each of these aircraft, just for safety's sake.
If you have these aircraft already, =THIS= is the pack to use. The full aircraft packages, available here in the CA Downloads, have already been updated for new download users.
Reminder - if you have these aircraft already, you do NOT need to redownload the entire aircraft again.
= Instructions for Use:
unzip to a temp folder or your desktop.
Inside, you'll find two main subfolders:
PTO
ETO
As most of the USN variants (and the Lodestar it seems!) were used in the Pacific, all those Ventura's are here, in the PTO folder.
Copy/paste the various /Objects folder DIRECTLY over the original /Objects folder in your WW2 PTO-centric mods folders.
--
For the RAF Ventura Mk.II, do the same thing, excepting you're now doing it to your WW2 ETO-centric mods folder.
This was done simply as a "make it easier" for me to upload.
Go fly.
Good Hunting!!

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!

SF2 Yak-14 Mare (What If) Pack       7/21/2019
-For SF2, Any and All (Full 4/5 Merged Reccomended)
This package contains a "new" aircraft, the Yak-14 (NATO Codename "Mare") advanced jet trainer and light attack aircraft.
It is based on, and rebuilt from, Pasko's T-33 T-Bird as this was the aircraft (suitably repainted and rebadged) used in the 1949 motion picture "Jet Pilot". This represents the aircaft flown (#58) by Lt. Anna Marladovan (aka Olga Orlief) as played by Janet Leigh.
The aircraft is finished in "Soviet Dark Green", and all markings are decals. Skin maps remain in lo-rez bitmaps. All marking are decals, and decal Randomization is TRUE. New era specific Soviet pilot figures are included (the newer 'RedAir1' figure). It uses all stock 3W Soviet/WP weapons, but 'new' drop tanks are included. The canopy operates with the Standard Animation Keystroke (tm), Shift/0 (zero).
On the aircraft selection drop down, you'll see:
Yak-14 "Mare" (P)
The (P) designates that this was built from Pasko's old T-33.
As is always reccomended, unzip to a temp folder or your desktop to give easy access to the rest of this readme for it's install instructions. 
Please see the "Notes" section for a list of changes to make the aircraft more SF2 compliant
This one was done purely for fun!! Enjoy it in that spirit!
