you do know that I have the templates, around here someplace....Ant was kind enough to locate them. Now, I have re-locate them!

you know I've done the Wake Detachment F4F-3 Wildcats, too. And those that remained at Ewa in 1941 the release is delayed about a day, as I'm making all new fuselage number decals (the 4 digit BuNums) I should have them done later today, and ready for your inspection.

oh yeah!!! I've seen a Corsair one in a catalogue too

looks iike I have to move the "wake island" badge a bit more forward. the damn airscoop on the fuselage side keep messing me up on the 'vma-211' tag. These are now separate, new decals. The only original decals left from Paul are the tail ones otherwise, it 99.9% ready I'll send you the package for final checking before I upload it here

my only request is you have a GREAT time!!

View File SF2 WW2 CBI B-24J Liberator Pak SF2 WW2 CBI B-24J Liberator Pak by Veltro2K 6/10/2014 (Full 4/5 Merged Reccomended) This pack contains a Theatre Specfic version of Veltro2k's B-24J Liberator as seen in in the China, Burma, India Theatre. Be advised, that while there wasn't too much 'crossover' between the 10 AF in India and the 14th AF in China (and the RAF for that matter), for gaming purposes it won't matter much. You are advised, however, to have a seperate CBI mods folder (even though the new India/Burma/Indochina map is far from completed). The unit(s) represented herein are: 10th AF (India): 493rd BS, 7th BG (43/45, in OD/Grey) 14th AF (China): 374th BS, 308th BG (44/45, in NM) RAF (India/Burma): No. 99 Squadron "Madras Presidency" (Liberator GR.VI, late 44/45, in OD/Grey) Each of the skins will display their theatre association; B/I or C. The skins are in jpg format. All markings are decals (excepting the wing national markings and some squadron rudder markings). The serials, when carried, are 'generic' in nature, as they represent no particular unit, but ARE for the model variant depicted. Decal randomization is set to TRUE. 10th & 14th AF squadron numbering conventions (plane-in-group numbers) are used on these aircraft. There are NO nose arts. Other texture artists are encouraged to do the research, and create proper artwork decals. Weapons, pilot figures and guns are NOT included; you should have them already. However, the VB-1 "Azon" bomb is, as the 7th BG had specialy equipped aircraft for their usage. A "Strike_Azon" loadout has been setup, and is availalbe through the 3W Mission Editor. Or they can be hand-loaded. Be advised, the standard carry was 4 Azons, and handloading WILL overload the aircraft with 7. RAF units did NOT use Azons. The aircraft is also equipped with a ground mapping/surface search radar. Damage textures are in DDS format. When in game you'll see B-24J Liberator (v2k) This will differentiate this Lib from any others you may have (ie: Pasko's). As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. PLEASE read them!!! PLEASE read the "Notes" section for other important notations, in particular for in-game usage.

contra props are easy; we've had them for quite a while, in both SF1 and SF2. It's just in how the model is built and animated

ok here ya go. very quick and dirty. it references the single letter and serials from the one of the other 2 skins, so you must have those (which you said you already do) of course, the serials are NOT 336th birds*, but maybe at a later date I'll run them down. nor is there any nose art, including Gentle and Godfrey's checks Just a plane jane skin with the VF code but, this'll give you 4th FG fix *but only a True Expert ™ would know that

did I cover his unit in my skin set?? no idea is bad. keep throwing them out. the major problem is, after Bpao passed, we lost a LOT of the max files. and an equal number were uncompleted (like the Spit mk.1, the spit mk 9, the su-24 Fubar's been showing) if we had those, we'd be Golden. I'm sure I could find a 'volenteer' to fix the things! We've had them since 2004

a question... did they carry the CVW or Squadron Codes (CF) on the wings, along with the modex?? If so, was it 'standard' on top and bottom, opposite the stars? And were the letters straight across or staggered, like on the tail? Still dialing in the badge and 'vma-211' tag, as it's one decal nearly there...

unfortunately, you can't re used the skins from Paul's original skin. SF2 has each of the skin maps NAMED for aircraft they're used on, so new ones needed extraction this is a quickie conversion; as you can see, the decals are forward anything from 0.50 to 0.75 meters Some of the tgas will need parts painted out on the alpha channel. let me have a few days, as my right eye "drops out" occasionally, and it's hard to work the comp with just the left (10 out of eye surgery, I've got some swelling issues) edit: I'm going to have to rebuild the entire decals ini, and make several new ones, along with repainting the originals. But as I've done it before, it's not too terribly diffucult

ok, that's easy. give me a few hours; cause all you really need in the "VF" lettering. all other decals can be referenced from the existing one in that pack

what, no S.H.I.E.L.D version??

for 334th mustangs? done already for the B/C models. They're in the WW2 downloads section. also did the 335th as well http://combatace.com/files/file/13737-sf2-ww2-eto-p-51b-mustang-pak/ I think amraiani has the D/K covered, but it might be hidden in one of the HUGE Mustang skin paks

The "world center" positions on SF2 models has been move from their 1stGen older versions it's acutally quite simple. It takes about 20 minutes to do, stopping for coffiee and cigs. Basically, they move aft. YOu do it in 0.25 increments, until they arrive where they're supposed to Remember, all the decals must be in the /Decals/*nameofaircraft*/-skinname*/ folder

if the aircraft data ini does NOT have this statement, for example from the B-24 *(note the pathway) [AircraftData] DestroyedModel=B-24J_v2k/Bomber_Destroyed.LOD DestroyedEffect=VehicleFireEffect EmptyMass=14790 EmptyInertia=110947.98,115050.98,179052.25 ReferenceArea=97.46 ReferenceSpan=33.53 destroyed models & their skin go in the ROOT of the /Aircraft folder. of course, one can easily edit the data ini statement, adding the 'internal' path, and drop the destroyed bits INTO the aircraft folder

most likely would not, as you can't really animate a fake pilot (that I'm aware of!)

it was removed several years ago there are new ones in the works, but they'll most likely be SF2 only

that's a -1 corsair, it's 3 bladed. IIRC, it's on that Russ fixed as we located the MAX file for it. The -4/4B/7 are four bladed. Looking at the OUT for -4/4B, and into the lod with a hex editor shows a LOT of missing nodes from the F4U-4 OUT: the "stepped" formatting isn't showing, of course!! The -1s have each of the 3 blades called out, where as the -4s have only 'blades' called from the F4U-1A: If my TMF/MM members could find the max files, I'm sure we could fix it.

MessageSystem.ini TextSize= ???

Is that not what I said before? Has to be fixed in the LOD. and without the MAX file .... as to the "game pulling the textures from somewhere", the Mustang and Skyraider (3W) pull theirs from one of the ObjectCats. The TMF corsair has the prop tgas, and you should have seen them, in the root aircraft folder and in each skin folder.

the color is a hexadecimal number a google search will turn up a RGB to Hex converter. The indicators should have callout statements in the HUDData.ini. Just keep scrolling down to find them If you want them removed, either go to Hard HUD, or decrease their size in the HUDData.ini to 0.0

as was stated above, lack of MAX files prevents a proper fix. sorry, burdda!

You should leave the end dates alone. Like I said before, Korea v3 is designed for a 100 span, that's why I didn't use the "AllowedDates=" statements edit: what I did found out last night, looking thought my KAW folder, is we're missing the Aussie "Battle" class DDs. The Darings didn't come into service until 1954, and this leaves SIDNEY with no escorts. We're also missing the River class frigates the RAN deployed Depending on how 'good' my eye is over the next few days --it's still healing and not as functional as I'd like-- I'll look around at our WW2 ships, and see if I can't come up with a "stand in" version.
