This is a modifcation of Wolf257's P-51C Mustang into the Mk.III version, as used the RAF in the ETO This is the model with the "Malcom Hood".
 
This is a semi complete aircraft mod, creating a country specific version for use in your World War 2: ETO installs ONLY!!
 
It represents aircraft from 315 Polish Squadron "City of Deblin" of circa 1944/45 (pre-invasion striped, or post invasion striped).
 
IMPORTANT -- This mod does =NOT= include the aircraft's LOD file (the actual physical model) or the cockpit folder!!
 
New, modified inis, decal tgas (including my new damage tga), skin bmps, etc are included making this almost a full aircraft add on. The cockpit folder itself is NOT included, but a modified cockpit ini (for the new gunsight tga) is. You will need to have the WW2 Plane Pak to make use of existing files that are needed for this aircraft's installation.
Included, for your enjoyment, are brand new, never before released RAF Mustang III hangar and loading screens - only available in this mod!!
 
Please see the 'readme' enclosed for full, detailed instructions!
 
I'd like to thank him personally, for making his wonderful WW2 aircraft available, for letting us mod them to our hearts content.
 
Good Hunting and
Happy Landings!

Hawk 75A-C7, ML-KNIL for SF/WoV/WoE, WW2 PTO installs , Version 2.0 Original Releae Date: 9/24/07
 
** UPDATED 1/11/08: this new update corrects the markings on the upper wings (removing them), and fixes some other small issues. This package is designed to totally REPLACE the original from 2007**
 
This is 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 (ie: by being lazy and using the exisiting RAF bombs <wink>).
 
Everything is included; all the inis, cockpit files, new hangar and loading screens (both available ONLY in this mod) and my damage tgas as well. The LOD file is the newer one, as used on the French Hawk 75 and the recenty released USAAC P-36A Update Pak.
 
I've also adjusted the operational years; they historically were all destroyed by February, 1942, but as we can't add months yet, you get the whole year (1942 that is).
 
For this update, I left the hangar screen alone, even though it has the improper upper wing marking still present. Looks a bit nicer; rest assured, the actual in-game version IS correct!
 
= IMPORTANT: This aircraft is designed for use in SF/WoV/WoE -ONLY-, It has =NOT= been tested it in post 8/28/08 patch WoI, nor post 9/08 - 10/08 patch SF/WoV/WoE. You use it in these enviroments at YOUR own risk. =
 
=This mod is designed for use with the Bunyap Weapons Pak of 6/06, as it contains all the needed weapons . If attempting to use this aircraft with any other weapons pak, you'll need to add ALL the WW2 era bombs, torpedoes, etc. They are NOT included in this package.=
 
Please read the enclosed readme, it has full install instructions, and other notes of interest.
 
Happy Landings!

note, 1/11/09: what with all the new data I've been assimilating lately on this region and time period, I figgured this needed an Upgrade. I left the original screenie up, as it's a nice action shot!!

Edited from the readme:
 
Curtis-Wright Hawk 75A, French Armee De L'Air Package
for SF, WoV & WoE WW2 ETO Installs: 10/11/07
 
This is a complete package including ALL parts necessary to unzip and install a new, export version of Wolf's P-36 Mohawk, for the French Air Force from the start of WW2, to the time of the 'Sitzkrieg', and then into the Battle of France.
 
This package contains 7 skins for the following units:
 
N124
SPA67
SPA95
SPA153
SPA155
SPA160
AdA - generic skin, that was my original, with minimal markings. Just a "Plane Jane" so to speak ;)
 
There is a new French 7.5mm machine gun, courtesy of Heck, and a 50kg bomb by me, so you'll be using BOTH the gun and weapons editor to add them. (note: both these weapons were included in the Douglas DB-7 recently released)
 
I have to list the credits here for all to see..
 
Wolf257: for creating the aircraft and letting us mod it to death, also for providing the 3ds source file for modification!
Capun for making the my requested changes to the LOD -- I can't thank you enough, CP!!
'Heck Mitchell' for all the decal work & the French MGs -- sure made MY job eaiser
 
Full detailed instructions are in the enclosed readme...especially for the weapons additons, plus my notes and comments, and historical background.
 
With thanks to all who helped with this mod!

now...we just need to BoB map modified for the Battle of France, and few more planes.....

Royal Navy Fleet Air Arm Vought Corsair Mk.II mod for SF/WoV/WoE
 
*Note: this re-pack includes the new skin and fixed decal*
 
This is a modifcation of Wolf257's F4U Corsair into the Mark II version used by the British Royal Navy in the Atlantic. (minus the clipped wing tips - as that isn't modeled)
 
This is a semi complete aircraft mod, creating a country specific version for use in your World War 2: ETO installs ONLY!! As such, all the loadouts have been adjusted to fit Royal Navy aircraft of the time (or as best guess as my research has shown). This aircraft does NOT carry rockets. It does, however, have the inner under wing and centerline stations split into 3 groups, allowing for asymetrical loadout (as seen in several pictures I have)
 
!Semi-complete means the aircraft lod is NOT included - you'll have to transfer it over from one of your other Corsairs!
 
It represents aircraft from FAA 1842 Squadron embarked on HMS FORMIDABLE during the time frame of the attacks against the TIRPITZ.
 
You'll also find a new ETO Corsair hangar screen, I created just for this mod, and ONLY available with it.
 
==NOTE: YOU MUST HAVE THE LATEST WEAPONS PAK INSTALLED FOR PROPER WEAPONS LOADOUT!!==
 
Please read the enclosed readmes (there's 2 - for for install, and one explained the new 'updated' skin) for complete install instructions.

This is a modifcation of Wolf257's F4U Corsair into the -2 nighter version used by the US Navy and Marine Corps in the Pacific during 1943-45
 
This is a semi-complete aircraft mod, including all the necessary parts, excepting the aircraft LOD, to recreate the -2 Nightfighters. You =WILL= have to copy the "F4U-1.LOD" from your original Corsair's folder to this one.
 
Included is the full cockpit, modified by Lexx_Luthor, from the F-86D for use in this aircraft, 2 full skins representing VFN-101 and VMFN-532, all inis and damage tgas, and a NEW -only available in this mod- Corsair Nightfighter Hangar Screen.

F6F-5N Hellcat Nightfighter mod for SF/WoV/WoE - WW2 PTO Installs
 
This is a modifcation of Razor/Geo's F6F-3 'Hellcat' into the -5N nighter version used by the US Navy and Marine Corps in the Pacific during 1943-45. I call this a 'representative' -5N, as it is based on the -3, and still has the rear cockpit windows, which would not be present on the later -5N 'represented' here.
 
This is a semi-complete aircraft mod, including all the necessary parts, =excepting= the aircraft LOD, to recreate the -5N Nightfighters. You =WILL= have to copy the "F6F.LOD" from your original Hellcat's folder to this one. It's highly reccomened you have the original, plus any weapons it adds, in you PTO install.
 
Included is the full cockpit, modified by Lexx_Luthor, from the F-86D for use in this aircraft, a skin representing VMFN-542 - complete with accurate Modex numbers and nose art (BuNums not included), all inis, damage tgas, and a NEW -only available in this mod- Hellcat Nightfighter Hangar & Loading Screens. The skin is brand new, from a template created by me, based off the original tri-color that came with the -3 Hellcat. Weapons stations have been added for the wing-mounted HVARs, as well as the usual bombs and drop tank.
 
You're also be using the weapons editor to add the new wing-mounted radar pod, modified from something I don't remember at this point in time. This is designed ONLY for use with the Bunyap Weapons Pak, and NOT the TMF pak, as their's does not contain the WW2 weapons. It is also NOT designed to be used in a WW2 style install of WoI, as WoI handles propeller aircraft -completly- differently, and they don't fly properly. You've been warned....
 
I've included Geo' original readme, please give it a look over.

This is a modifcation of Razor/Geo's F6F-3 'Hellcat' into the -5 used by the US Navy and Marine Corps in the Pacific during 1943-45. I call this a 'representative' -5, as it is based on the -3, and still has the rear cockpit windows, which would not be present on the later -5 'represented' here.
 
This is a semi-complete aircraft mod, including all the necessary parts, =excepting= the aircraft LOD, to recreate the standard -5 day fighter-bomber . You =WILL= have to copy the "F6F.LOD" from your original Hellcat's folder to this one. It's highly reccomened you have the original, plus any weapons it adds, in you PTO install.
 
The cockpit is also NOT included, but a new gunsight and cockpit ini is, so you'll need to copy over the -3's cockpit as well. See 'Installation" below...
 
The skin is brand new, from a template created by me, based off the original tri-color that came with the -3 Hellcat. It represents's Hellcats from VF-3 aboard USS YORKTOWN circa early 1945. Weapons stations have been added for the wing-mounted HVARs, as well as the usual bombs and drop tank original built into the -3. My Hellcat Hangar and Loading screens have been included.
 
It is also NOT designed to be used in a WW2 style install of WoI, as WoI handles propeller aircraft -completely- differently, and they do NOT fly properly. You've been warned....

Republic P-84 Thunderjet "What If..." WW2 version -For SF/WoV/WoE and probably WoI (maybe?)
 
This little mod is a tweek to RussoUK's F-84E, with a new lod with the bubble-top non-reinforced canopy. It "represents" P-84 Thunderjet aircraft from the 61st FS of the 56th FG in the "What If..." world of WW2: 1946 aka SWOTL2.
 
Russo made the new lod for me several years ago, and this has been languishing on my HD for some time; I figured NOW would be a good time to finish it off and release to all you good folks!
 
The new skin, with redrawn panel lines (but no rivets - this was done before I learned how, and wasn't going back to add them!), has the marking of the 61st FS, still carrying their standard WW2 ETO markings as of 1947. Included are several historic nose arts as seen on their Thunderbolts. I've tried to match aircraft call letter with the approiate art work. Serial numbers are accurate, had the A model gone into full production.
 
A new WoE-style Hangar screen is also included.
 
The auto-speed canopy has been disabled, as this no longer works in WoI (and by inference, when the SF/WoV/WoE patch arrives), but I somehow managed to fool the game engine by assigning to the arrestor hook; so, the canopy will open when you hit the "H" key.
 
It should be noted this is 1of 2 Thunderjet mods I'm releasing; this one, a "What If..." for WW2: 1946, and a Real Life ™, Historic version, which is simply called "F-84". It represents the B/C model, and is available seperatly, as they are designed to be exclusive to their eras.

NAA P-51A Mustang, 530FS, 311 FG, Skin and Ini Pak, For SF/WoV/WoE CBI installs
 
This package contains modifications and a reskin of Wolf's P-51A as used in the CBI Theatre. These are the early Allison-engined versions. This is a semi-complete aircraft mod, -specifically- designed for use in the CBI style install of the games, if you've created CBI only WW2 install that is . I've seen no other references to "A" model Mustangs being used anywhere else in the Pacific Theatre.
 
The skin represents aircraft from the 530th FS, 311 FG located in Burma, circa 1943.
I say 'semi-complete', as only the skin and decals, plus various inis are included in this mod. You =WILL= be transfering several critical files from your original P-51A to get this mod to work. (see "To Install" below) Consider this a "Theatre Specific" type of aircraft mod.
 
The various inis supplied in this kit, will give you the loadouts and other tweeks I've made that fit the time frame, and more importantly, the Theatre of Operations. "A" model Mustangs were slightly different in their usage and loads, then AAF ones used in the ETO/MTO - and different again from RAF ones. The P-51As as used in Burma at this time carried the 3-tube M-10 "Triple Bazooka" launcher, plus their usual compliment of bombs and machine guns. Nose guns are NOT used on this model.
 
I have included a bunch of small files, NEW Loading and Hangar screens, SHD (shadow), and other bits. But remember -- the main aircraft LOD file is NOT included, as per Wolf's wishes, nor is the cockpit folder. His original "P-51A_readme.txt" is included as well.
 
-= NOTE: you must have the Bunyap Weapons Pak of 6/06 to get the WW2 weapons and guns and such =-
=NOTE: you MUST have Wolf257s WW2 Planes Pak for the Original P-51A Lod and Cockpit folder (DUH!)=
- This mod has been tested in SF, WoV and WoE. This mod is NOT reccomended for use in a WW2 PTO style install of WoI, as it handles prop flight models in "a most unusual, and odd way"-

F4U-1A "Corsair" mod for SF/WoV/WoE WW2 PTO installs
 
This package is a simple mod to the existing F4U-1 created by Wolf257. It will create a NEW aircraft, the F4U-1A, which the aircraft really is. This will differentiate the "F4U-1 Birdcage" mod of mine from each other.
 
The package contains ALL the necessary files to create the aircraft; various inis, etc, EXCEPT the aircraft LOD (the physical model) a NEW skin from my enhanced template, representing VF-17 "Jolly Rogers. I'm really surprised NO one has done this skin before!!! Individual 'plane in group' numbers, BuNums are incuded for 36 aircraft. Unfortunately, the 'tail art' is not. See "Notes and General Nonsense" below for explinations
A new Jolly Roger's themed loading screen is also included, as is the damage tga, a new gunsight tga, and my original Corsair Hangar Screen.
 
Full, detailed instructions are below in the "To Installate" section.
 
--YOU MUST HAVE THE BUNYAP WEAPONS PACK TO GET THE WW2 WEAPONS!! --
--- YOU MUST HAVE WOLF'S ORIGINAL F4U-1 INSTALLED FOR THE LOD!!! ---
 
This aircraft has been tested in SF/WoV/WoE and post-patch WoI (8/29/08). There still are some 'issues' with prop-plane flight models in WoI, but there has been a MARKED improvement!! You use it in WoI at YOUR own risk.

Bell P-400 "Airacobra", 39th FS Skin and Ini Pak, For SF/WoV/WoE PTO installs
 
This is a semi-complete mod, re-creating the P-400, export version of the Bell P-39 "Airacobra". The skin represents aircraft from the 39th FS, 35th FG as seen around Port Morseby, PNG during mid-1942
 
It is also to be considered a FULL replacement, minus certain files, for the P-400 mod that's been on my site for several years. This version gets a fully upgraded skin, with newly redrawn panel and rivet lines, and a replacement cockpit, based on the Dev A-Team's Hurricane.
 
When I say "semi-complete", this means the aircraft LOD file is NOT included, NOR are the cockpit files from the Hurricane 1. You WILL be transfering these from their respective aircraft. Needless to say, you MUST have Wolf's WW2 Planes Pak for the LOD, and the DATs Hurri. Full instructions, and a parts list, are below in the "Install Instructions".
 
I've supplied all the inis, misc bmps and tgas and various and sundry bits to make the process as easy as possible.
 
The skin, as said above, is for the 39th FS, and has completely new redrawn panel and rivet lines. Aircraft ID numbers are as accurate as possible, based on research. Serial numbers are NOT used, as these were painted out in-theatre. In reality, although not painted on the aircraft, these birds were assigned RAF serials, as they were originally intented for the UK.
 
A revamped, cleaned up version of my original P-39 Hangar Screen is included, as is the damage tga.
 
-= NOTE: you must have the Bunyap Weapons Pak of 6/06 to get the WW2 weapons and guns and such =-

Curtiss Hawk III, Chinese Air Force, mod for SF/WoV/WoE WW2 PTO installs
 
== -For Pre-Patch (9/08-10/08) Installs -ONLY!!!- ==


 
This is a major rebuild of MontyCZ's Curtiss Hawk III (Export Version), as used by the Chinese Air Force in the late 1930s. It is a complete aircraft mod, with all the bits needed to just unzip, install and fly away.
 
It is a 'nation-specific' aircraft, and will not conflict with any other versions of the BF2C/Hawk III you may have in your game installs. In fact, as a 'new' aircraft, it'll replace any other version made from the original BF2C.
 
There is a completly NEW data ini, with updated FM parameters taken from a 'contemporary' aircraft - I disremember which one, but do remember it was biplane. As this mod was started early in 2008, I kinda lost track....
 
A new skin, based off the original but from a newly made template (by me!), and ID number decals for 24 aircraft is included. The cockpit, CA_Stary's Peashooter pit, is also included. It's not perfect, but it's mighty damn close, and works really well for this aircraft. The only mod to this pit is a I added my 'ring-and-bead' gunsight (nestled quite comfortably inside the telescope tube).
 
Full, detailed instructions are below in the "To Installate" section. Along with the usual notes, comments and general foolishness....
 
--YOU MUST HAVE THE BUNYAP WEAPONS PACK TO GET THE WW2 WEAPONS!! --
- This mod is designed to work ONLY in pre/unpatched installs -those that pre-date the 9/08 & 10/08 units. If you install this mod to a post-patched game install, you do so at your own risk. Prop Flight Models are still a little "iffy" Post-Patch, and it is NOT reccomended you use this as such, in those types of install. -
 
As usual, there's the informative "readme" enclosed with instructions, comments, statements, etc, etc, etc, designed to speed you on your way to installing and enjoying the mod. Do read it....

P-26 Peashooter, Chinese Air Force, mod for SF/WoV/WoE WW2 PTO installs



== For Pre-Patch (9/08-10/08) Installs -ONLY!!! ==


 
This is a slight rebuild, in a major sense, of Bunyap's P-26 Peashooter, as used by the Chinese Air Force in the late 1930s. It is a complete aircraft mod, with all the bits needed to just unzip, install and fly away.
 
It is a 'nation-specific' aircraft, and will not conflict with any other versions of P-26 you may have in your game installs.
 
There are 2 version of the data ini included with this; one (called ori-P-26A_DATA.ini) is the original as issued (with my lighting modifications as seen in a few other Peashooter mods). The other, set to use right now, has had it's FM parameters 'adjusted' to something that seems a LOT closer to how the aircraft should be (More in the "Notes" section below). Lighting is the same for both.
 
Brand new, "only-available-in-this-mod" nation specific Hangar and Loading screens are included.
 
A new 'natural metal' skin, based on Bunyap's templates, and new ID number decals for 18 aircraft are also included. The cockpit, created by CA_Stary is included. The only mod to his pit is a I added my 'ring-and-bead' gunsight (nestled quite comfortably inside the telescope tube).

Grumman Martlet Mk. I/III Pak for SF/SFG/WoV/WoE - WW2 MTO Installs (06 Patch Level)


 
 
This is a mod of my mod of the F4F-3 variant, based on Pasko's F4F-4, as used by the Royal Navy Fleet Air Arm, the Martlet I & III. These these 2 marks were 'acquired' by the FAA from the French and Greek orders, they were never recieved by the countries they were destined for due to "an inconvient lack of a deliver point" (ie: overrun by the enemy). It is the standard, non-folding wing version, with 4 50 caliber machine guns. It IS fully carrier capable, and can be used in user-made missions or campaigns.
 
This is a brand new skin, using my home-grown templates (as also used on my USN versions), representing a semi-fictional skin for 805 Squadron, Royal Navy Fleet Air Arm. I say semi-fictional, as this is designed to either compliment or replace the FAA 805 Buffalo that I did earlier in 2009; for those that can't get the F2A Buffalo, this will suffice. It carries the standard FAA camo scheme of Extra Dark Sea Gray/Slate Gray over Sky, as seen on other Martlets serving in the Middle East/Western Desert in 1940/41. New decals for serial numbers have been created; these ARE accurate serials assinged to Martlet I & IIIs, as taken over by the Royal Navy. Again; in this semi-fictional usege, they fit quite nicely.
 
This is a complete aircraft mod with all parts needed to unzip, install and fly away. REMEMBER: although designed for the MTO (ie: Battle for Crete, and Defense of Alexandria, etc), this skin IS perfectly usable for FAA Squadrons flying from English bases (ie: Orkneys, Scapa Flow, etc). BTW, the letters ARE for 805 when flying their Buffalos from HMS Eagle, during the Battle for Crete. They were all lost at Malme, Crete (well, there 3 or 4 that were really there...that is).
 
I have supplied an "alternative" cockpit ini, modified from Geo's F6F-3, for those that may want a more 'closer approximation' of the Wildcat's Real Life ™ pit. The cockpit is NOT supplied from the Hellcat, so you'll need to obtain it yourselves from Geo's site and transfer over the cockpit folder, and from this version, the "US_N-3_Gunsight.tga". Instructions for that are below, in the "To Swap Pits" section. In truth, THIS would be the way to go. It's much closer, and better looking than the original, which isn't a US Navy pit at all!!
 
 
= IMPORTANT: This aircraft is designed for use in SF/SFG/WoV/WoE, at the 06 patch level -ONLY-, It has =NOT= been tested it in post 08 patch SF/SFG/WoV/WoE/WoI. It has also NOT been tested in the NextGen, SF2 series. You use it in these enviroments at your own risk. =
 
=This mod is designed for use with the WW2 Weapons Pak by me, as it contains all the needed weapons . If attempting to use this aircraft with any other weapons pak, you'll need to add ALL the WW2 era bombs, torpedoes, etc. They are NOT included in this package.=

Hawker Sea Fury F.10 mod for SF/SFG/WoV/WoE - WW2/Post War Installs


 

06 Patch Levels =ONLY=!!!


 
 
This is another of those mods that have been languishing on my hard drive for a loooooong time. I just figured, now's the time to finish it off, and release it.
 
This is a mod of the existing Sea Fury FB.11 into the earlier F.10 version, that almost saw action in WW2.
This is to be considereded as a "Beta ++" version, as there are most likely issues still remaining to be resolved (what they actually are, I don't even know!)
 
The reasoning behind the labeling as a "plus-plus", as there is a certain 'incompletness' about the aircraft. It's just that it was never actually finished when originally released, and therefore probably has some flaws. Meaning: the aircraft WAS originally released as a Beta, this mod moves it "up" one notch, to plus-plus. Confused yet? Good! Me too!
 
This mod creates a whole new aircraft, seperate from the normal Sea Fury FB 11.
 
This is a complete aircraft, with all items needed to pretty much unzip, install, and fly away. 3 Hangar Screens are included, one my Original Old Style artwork one, and a new WoE-style Carrier Deck with the historicl skin, and the What If BPF skin. All are usable in any verions of the sim. You can choose whichever you like the best. Although, right now it's set up for the Carrier Deck version, with the BPF 801 skined aircraft, as this is designed for a PTO WW2: 46 kinda thing.
The aircraft is fully carrier capable, making it usable in Campaigns or user-built Single Missions
 
The skin/decal set represents 802 Squadron, FAA, Royal Navy in late 1947/early 1948. This skin reflects markings of the immeadate Post-War time frame, with semi-historical serial numbers. I say semi-historical, as my data only gave me a few pictures to base off of, and from the actual production run of the F.10. These would be a good addition for a "Cold War Gone Hot: 1947" type of scenario.
 
And......
 
For you "What If..." players for WW2: 46 Pacific, a special skin for 801 Squadron, as would have been used by the British Pacific Fleet for the Reduction and Invasion of Japan. Assuming a hurried introduction, this adds another aircraft for the Fleet Air Arm to use. 1947 is given start year, in keeping with historical fact. Those wishing to create the 'rushed into production' feeling, may change the StartYear= to 1946.

Douglas DB-7A AdA
 
Decals and Decal Update
 
Whilst doing some research for another project, I stumbled across a long out of print copy of "Profile # 202: Douglas A-20 (7A-Boston III)" on pdf, and it had some really nice profiles and photos of French DB-7s from the Battle of France time period. Including placement of individual aircraft numbers.
 
I know the font isn't exactly the right one, but it's damn close! To make thinks easier, I've left all the rudder tags in, as I'm too lazy to remove them, and the file size (zipped) is still below 500k.
 
Easy to follow instructions in the Enclosed "youread"
 
Sorry about that folks, but this is an easy fix!
 
Enjoy!

Grumman TBF-1 Avenger -- A Mod of the Dev A-Team's TBF-1C
 
This is a mod of the DAT's TBM-1C Avenger of WW2 fame, into an early war version, circa 1942
 
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 file nor the cockpit folder. See below "To Install" for a complete list of the necessary parts.
You -MUST- have the DAT's TBF-1C to make use of this aircraft, as you'll be coping files over from it.
 
The new skin, from a completly redrawn template based on Gramps' original skins, represents VT-3 based aboard USS Saratoga (CV-3) circa August/September 1942, approximately the time of the Battle of Santa Cruz and the fight for Guadalcanal. All the panel and rivet lines have been redone, new decals created for 'plane in group numbers', aircraft designation, and BuNums for 24 aircraft. It can also be considered a rather 'generic' USN/USMC version, as most units carried no markings. Some USMC VMSB units DID use a 3-digit ID number, based upon the aircrafted BuNum, but that's a story for another day...
 
I've included all the inis I've modified, so you'll be copying the minimum number of bits. The data ini includes mods that remove the wing guns, and adds the single 30 caliber MG on the nose. Unfortunatley, the LOD still contains the postions of the 2 wing mounted 50 cals, so you'll have to suspend disbelief (or pretend they're broom handles stuck there to fool enemy fighters that they're real guns)
Surface search radar has also been activated. NEW damage tgs's have also been created (they can be used on any of the TBF/TBMs).
 
= IMPORTANT: This aircraft is designed for use in SF/WoV/WoE -ONLY-, I have NOT tested it in post -8/28/08- patch WoI =
 
=This mod is designed for use with the Bunyap Weapons Pak of 6/06, as it contains all the needed weapons . If attempting to use this aircraft with any other weapons pak, you'll need to add ALL the WW2 era bombs, torpedoes, etc. They are NOT included in this package.=
 
As you probably suspect, there's a highly detailed, step-by-step readme included, so you'd be wise to read it!!! And as always, the usual notes and comments and general nonsense....
 
Happy Hunting!

SBD-5 Dauntless, VB-10 USS Enterprise, Battle of the Marianas - For SF/WoV/WoE WW2 PTO Installs-
 
This is a semi-complete aircraft pak, based on Wolf257's SBD creating the later, and most produced version, the SBD-5. I say "semi-complete", as the aircraft LOD and the "new" cockpit folder are NOT included.
 
Modifications include the use of the cockpit (not included) from Geo's Hellcat, as it has the requisite look for a Navy aircraft, and the required reflector gunsight. Data ini mods include a slight upgrade in engine HP, and the 'fixing' of the rear gunners twin 30 mount. (see 'Note and Other Ramblings below for a full list of stuff), and some location tweeks to the 3 weapons stations (ie: raised them up a tad). Adjusted loadouts include the 58 gallon drop tank from Pasko's F4F Wildcat; these are identical in shape to those used on the -5 and -6 Dauntless.
 
A new skin, from my enhanced template, is done up in the "Tri-Color" of mid-1943 to early/mid 1944. It represents aircraft from VB-10 aboard USS Enterprise and/or VB-16 from USS Lexington II at the time of the Invasion of the Maraina Islands.
 
In this respect, it may also be considered a rather "generic" Tri-Colored Dauntless for the time period (albeit with some differences for some ships in how the parting line between the lower white-gray and 'intermediate blue' was done). As this was just before the "G System" of marking came into effect, it can be used for either squadron. Individual modex and BuNums for 38 aircraft are included. The BuNums are correct as they ARE for the -5 Dauntless, but I claim no historical accuracy as to if these particular aircraft were assigned to the squadrons in question. The 'holes" in the dive brakes have also been repainted, to clean up their lines. "Simulated" fabric texture covering the control surfaces has also been painted on.
 
A new -only available in this mod!!- WoE style carrier deck Hangar screen is included, as is the damage tga. My original early model loading screen, R.G. Smiths painting of the "Famous Five Minutes" is also enclosed. It's such a great piece of artwork, how could I resist??
 
-= NOTE: You MUST have the Bunyap Weapons Pak of 6/06 to get the WW2 weapons and guns and such =-
-== This aircraft has been tested in SF/WoV/WoE and post-patch WoI (8/08) as well as post 9/08 & 10/08 SF/WoV/WoE. There still are some 'issues' with prop-plane flight models, but there has been a MARKED improvement!! You use it in these Post Patch Environments at YOUR own risk. It's reccomended usage is for versions of the game at the 2006 level ONLY. ==-
-=NOTE: You MUST have Geo's F6F-3 Hellcat for the cockpit!!! If you don't, you can get it from his site:

Focke Wulf Fw-190F Package for SF, WoV & WoE WW2 ETO/MTO/SWOTL Installs:
 
This package includes skin and ini mods of the original 190 into the =definitave= 190F ground attack/close support version.
 
This is a semi-complete package conatining all necessary parts to create the new aircraft =EXCEPT= the FW190.LOD. It's Wolf's wish that the lod not be distributed in new packages, but it's a simple matter to just copy it over from another Wurger.
All other parts; cockpit, all the inis, updated gunsight tga are included. I call it semi-complete package for the above reason, but NEW data, loadout, cockpit and main inis are included, due to several modifications I've effected. There are even new hangar and loading screens, specifically designed for this ground-attack version.
 
There are 2 skins in this package (hence the ETO/MTO tag at the top!):
 
9/SG4 based in France & Germany in the post D-Day time frame (attached to KG51);
I-SG4 based on Sardinia for use in the MTO/Italian theatre.
 
It is suggested that you do NOT mix these skins in the same theatre of operations, but rather 'split' the install between your ETO and MTO game setups.
 
---- Please note you MUST have the latest Weapons Pack for the WW2 Axis weapons ----
 
PLEASE read the enclosed readme for detailed install instructions, and other important notes. I wrote it...you better read it!!
Most importantly, information about the modified loadouts (see picture above for some idea of what you can get!)

Messerschmitt Bf-109G6 skin & ini tweeks for SF, WoV & WoE WW2 Installs:
 
-Modification of one of Wolf257's Messerschmitts....
This is a semi-complete package, creating another version of the famed Messerschmitt Bf-109. It contains just about everything needed.
I say semi-complete, because the aircraft LOD file is NOT included, as per his wishes, but everthing else is. You will also be adding 2 stand-in under-wing gun gondolas for the MK108 30mm and MK151 20mm cannons. I say stand-in, as the pod used is NOT the correct shape. So, you WILL be using the Weapons Editor to add the new gun pods. They use existing weapons, so there's no problems there. These are just here until a 3d modeler steps up and gives us the correct shapes for the 2 different pods.
 
The skin included represents JG53 in late 44/early 45, and has been enhanced with new panel, rivet lines, and new stenciling for the warning and info tags. My damged tgs and NEW 109G6 hangar and loadoing screens -ONLY available in this mod- are also included.
 
PLEASE read the enclosed reamde file for full detailed install instructions, as well as other notes and commentaries.

Focke Wulf Fw-190A8 Package for SF, WoV & WoE WW2 ETO/SWOTL Installs:
 
This is a re-skin and ini mods of the original 190 into a FW-190A8/R8 'Sturmbok' bomber killer.
 
This is a semi-complete package conatining all necessary parts to create the new aircrafte =EXCEPT= the FW190.LOD. It's Wolf's wishes the lod not be distributed in new packages, but it's a simple matter to just copy it over from another Wurger.
All other parts; cockpit, all the inis, updated gunsight tga are included. I've also added my 2 newest hangar and loading screens (also available in the FW-190A5 update pak)
 
This skin represents Fw-190A8R8 from 11/JG3 in the late 44/45 time frame in Western Europe/Germany.
 
I have tried to make it as accurate as possible, even to getting the proper RLM colors added to my swatch list. As best I could, I even added the little warning placards around the fuselage, wings and tail. Along with the 'eagle head' shape over the fuselage, now outlined in red for JG3.
 
PLEASE read the enclosed readme for full, detailed instructions and other stuff.

Messerschmitt Bf-109K4 Package for SF, WoV & WoE WW2 ETO Installs: 10/11/07
 
This is a re-build of Wolf's original 109G10 into the Bf-109K4. This is a semi-complete package that includes all the necessary inis, tga, skin bmps, cockpit and cockpit mods --EXCEPTING-- the aircraft LOD file. You'll be copying the LOD from the 109G10 for use in this mod.
 
The skin represents JG77 in the late war time frame. It was created by my enhanced template, with redrawn panel and rivets, and the stencling for the warning/service tags.
This package also includes a NEW 109K hangar screen, ONLY available in this mod.
 
PLEASE read the enclosed readme for detailed install instructions, plus my notes and comments. Important stuff, folks!

A6M5 Type 52C Zero Package: for SF/WoV/WoE WW2, PTO installs
 
This little modification creates a new aircraft based off ArmorDave's A6M5 "Zeke" IJN fighter. Included in this package are the skins, inis, and some various small and sundry bits. The aircraft LOD and cockpit folders are NOT included - you 'll be transfering them over from the stock A6M5. Therefore, it is NOT a complete aircraft package.
 
Ini mods include changing out the weapons for 12.7mm machine guns, 2 in the wings and one in the upper engine cowling deck, along with the standard 20mm cannons in the wings. No other changes to the flight model has been effected.
 
The skin, from a new template created by me from the original Volks & Lansen skins (and using parts thereof), represents 332 Kokutai, based at Kure, Japan approx. September, 1944.
 
I've also given you some other gunsight tgas, so you can choose between them.
 
= You MUST have the latest Weapons Pak installed for the WW2 Weapons!!! =
 
Obviously, you must have AD's Zero's installed to use the package....
 
PLEASE read the enclosed readme text for full, detailed, step-by-step install instructions. Also, the usual General Notes and Commentaries section for additional information and full credits.
 
Happy Landings!!
