Finished. As far as it is possible, the serials correspond to those of MkVb aircraft used by units assigned to the Air Spotting Pool during June 1944. It is not possible to determine which were actually used by VCS-7, as the aircraft of a number of squadrons were pooled centrally. Anyway, this is as close as you can get! Uploading tomorrow, all being well.

Always useful, that sort of thing! Cheers!

Kevin - both updated, tested and working. Typhoid - kind of you to offer, but as many of these have modified parts which are not always immediately obvious, I'm keeping them all well separate.

Just updated both to make them carrier-capable and fit a hook. The 'Royal Navy' serial number is totally authentic, and can be seen on many ex-RN aircraft sold to the French Navy, including this one. Until I work out how French serials actually work, I won't be bringing out further decals. Two weeks...

Dead right, spot on! That didn't take you long...

Well spotted Muesli - I haven't got around to doing the s/n s yet! So Jamie Rankin's is just a placeholder and doesn't tell you anything. The real W3312 was lost on 3rd October 1942 off the Kent coast after an engine failure, so this clearly isn't it! But the other markings are correct for what I have in mind...

If you can tell us who this (pretend) MkVb belongs to, and what they're doing with it, you get this week's clever bugger prize! Uploading soonish.... It isn't quite as obvious as it might seem!

Cheers, Kevin! I hadn't realised I was duplicating your work though...

LoL! Yes, it is - only I haven't a clue how to do that. Feel free to add an update if you like!

View File Seafire MkIII, No.887 NAS, Fleet Air Arm, 1945 Seafire MkIII, No.887 Naval Air Squadron Fleet Air Arm, HMS Indefatigable, Okinawa, April 1945 - Japanese Coast, August 1945. It is a little known fact that aircraft of the Royal Navy British Pacific Fleet fought at Okinawa and participated in the final air attacks on the Japanese mainland. All serial numbers included in this package correspond to Seafire MkIII aircraft which served with 887 NAS at some point between late 1944 and the end of the War. Where possible, known individual numbers have been allocated to the correct aircraft. These are marked with an asterisk in the loadout menu. Alternative lower resolution (1024x1024) skin files are included. For use ONLY with SF2 including the Israel Expansion Pack. This will NOT work if you do not have the stock TW Spitfires installed and working. Submitter ndicki Submitted 06/16/2012 Category Spitfire  

The relief is practically palpable!

Stop laughing! My computer is that old that it really isn't worth buying more. I hope to be replacing it before too long, but I want to stay with WXP because I use one or two older sims that don't like W7...

Thanks - he mentions DX9 but not his OS. Worth following up in any case. Bad news...Even with ForceDX9=TRUE?

It says you can't run SF2NA on Windows XP. Well, TK suggests you don't, as he has no idea what the result will be. So has anybody been bold enough to risk his money and try? What was the result?

Not at all my thing, but I'd have thought that fiddling with these parameters would help: [AIData] TakeOffRotationAngle=10.0 [RocketAttackAI] RollInRange=7500.0 RollInAlt=1300.0 PullOutRange=1500.0 PullOutAlt=200.0 ReleaseRange=3000.0 SecondPassRange=6000.0 SecondPassAlt=1050.0 ReleaseCount=16 ReleaseInterval=0.095 AimPitchOffset=-3.3 [strafeAI] RollInRange=4500.0 RollInAlt=1100.0 PullOutRange=1400.0 PullOutAlt=175.0 ReleaseRange=2000.0 SecondPassRange=4000.0 SecondPassAlt=1000.0 ReleaseInterval=1.5 AimPitchOffset=-0.9 From the A-10 data.ini.

This one is taking longer than usual, as the panel lines on the squadron codes and letters are not being co-operative... It's an HF.MkVIIc flown by S/L James O'Meara, OC of 131 Sqn, based at Colerne in early 1944. W/C Pete Brothers commanded the Wing at the time. The pointed wingtips had generally been replaced by standard ones by this time. Most HF.MkVII aircraft were eventually repainted in the standard Day Fighter Scheme as the high altitude threat failed to materialise. And if anyone can tweak the flight dynamics, that'd be even better!

View File Spitfire PR.MkXI, RAF, 1943-45 Spitfire PR.MkXI, RAF, 1943-45 The unarmed MkXI photographic reconnaissance Spitfire came into service in early 1943, and was basically a modified MkIX airframe with a MkVIII retractable tailwheel and fittings for three cameras. Further modifications included leading edge fuel tanks and a larger oil tank in an enlarged chin fitted below the Rolls-Royce Merlin 61, 63, 63A or 70 engine. Early aircraft kept the original rounded rudder, while the second production batch had the later pointed type. The serial numbers included in this pack correspond to early production MkXI aircraft with the rounded rudder, all built during late 1942 or early 1943. As such, they can be used for missions dating from February 1943 until the end of the War. As PR Spitfires did not carry squadron codes, any PRU/PR Squadron may be represented. For use ONLY with SF2 including the Israel Expansion Pack. This will NOT work if you do not have the stock TW Spitfires installed and working.
