  1. Ju-88 Cockpit repaint for Veltro2K's Ju-88 - Kesselbrut's Cockpit


    Here is a (decent) repaint of the supplied Kesselbrut's Mosquito cockpit for use in Veltro2K's Ju88's. Again, I made it for my personal use but maybe the five of us (me, Kev and other kindred spirits) who still use SF2 to sim WW2 can get some use out of it. 

    Made for SF2, it's the needed bmp's, one tga, and the cockpit.ini file ONLY. I wasn't happy with the way some of the gauges were presenting, so I've made some changes.  

    The cockpit textures are 2048x2048, in the old days we didn't have the horsepower to run such large cockpit textures, but those days are long gone. Resize them if you do experience any problems. 

    Not 100% accurate, there's always compromises that have to be made, but it is what it is, I have done my best.

    INSTALLATION:

    Copy and paste the bmp's and tga from this file into your V2K Ju88 cockpit folder. Place the cockpit.ini in the main aircraft folder. Back up the corresponding original files in case you want to revert.

    That's it. 

    Note that although this is made for the Ju88C, it will work in any of Veltro's Ju88's, and I guess you could use it any any German twin engine bomber without a decent cockpit. 

    CREDITS:

     - Veltro2K for the Ju-88 and for the HUGE range of WW2 and later aircraft you have done for us. Much appreciated!
     - Kesselbrut for another one of his great cockpits. I hope you're doing well wherever you are Daniel.  
     - Veltro advises the cockpit was modded by Capun for use in German aircraft, thanks to Capun for that work!
     - CombatAce for being a bastion of Strike Fighters for these many. many years.
     - TK for creating SFP1 and SF2 for all of us to enjoy.

  2. He-162 Cockpit repaint for Geo's Volksjager Cockpit


    Here is a (strangely done) repaint of Geo's He-162 cockpit for use in his He-162 Volksjager. As usual, I made it for my personal use but maybe the five of us (me, Kev and other kindred spirits) who still use SF2 to sim WW2 can get some use out of it. 

    Made for SF2, it's the needed bmp's AND TGA's ONLY. This was a strange one in that most of the panel gauges are TGA's. Had to learn how to do them again :(

    The cockpit textures are 2048x2048, in the old days we didn't have the horsepower to run such large cockpit textures, but those days are long gone. Resize them if you do experience any problems. 

    Not 100% accurate, there's always compromises that have to be made, but it is what it is, I have done my best.

    INSTALLATION:

    Copy and paste the bmp's and tga's from this file into your He162 cockpit folder. Back up the corresponding original files in case you want to revert.

    That's it.

  3. Me-262 Cockpit repaint for Veltro2K's Me-262 - Kesselbrut's Cockpit


    Here is a (so-so) repaint of Kesselbrut's Me-262 cockpit for use in Veltro2K's Me-262's. Again, I made it for my personal use but maybe the five of us (me, Kev and other kindred spirits) who still use SF2 to sim WW2 can get some use out of it.

    I HIGHLY recommend you get any of Julio Junqueira's excellent 109 pits and grab the optional pilot legs and drop them in your 190. They work fine and I'm sure you have them already. You should.

    Copy and paste the bmp's from this file into your V2K 262 cockpit folder. Back up the corresponding original files in case you want to revert.

  4. Fw-190 Cockpit Repaint for Torno's FW190's


    Here is a (decidedly average) repaint of Torno's FW-190 cockpit for use in his excellent range of Fw-190's. I made it for my personal use but maybe the five of us (me, Kev and other kindred spirits) who still use SF2 to sim WW2 can get some use out of it. 

    Made for SF2, it's the needed jpg's ONLY. 

    Which 190 is it? Well, I started with the A as a basis but you can use it in any of Torno's beautiful Wurgers. The one here is the one featuring "moar gunz" - of course.

    Not 100% accurate, there's always compromises that have to be made, but it is what it is. 

    INSTALLATION:

    Copy and paste the jpg's from this file into your 190 (of whatever flavor) cockpit folder. Back up the corresponding original files in case you want to revert.

    That's it. 

    CREDITS:

     - TORNO for the great range of Fw-190's. Excellent work amigo. Torno's work is for CombatAce ONLY, these are NOT to appear elsewhere.

  5. Nice review - I'm almost tempted to buy. Couple of questions first though. Have you played the "tank sim" mode in Iron Front and if so how does it compare? And my eyes aint what they were, is there a "find next closest target" or similar type key command that would highlight enemy targets?


  6. when I want a group to show for a nation that doesn't have carriers I just label a cruiser as a BB or CV. it at least gives me stuff to sink. I have been on a med kick lately so would love to see some more Italians.Also a few true WW2 British DDs would be nice too.

     

    Could always pretend the Aquila was completed. I'm surprised Kevin has made one already from an existing bird farm. Or a Taiho come to think of it. The Taiho looks  a lot like a Brit Illustrious type but with that weird ass funnel. Apologies if you have made them Kevin and I've missed them. Just a casual observer these days.


  7. What do you mean Kevin? Seems perfectly reasonable to me. In any event, it's a masterstroke by TK to get us either off topic when ity comes to NA, or get us passionate about TW - or both. :grin:

     

    Seriously, TK's main problem is, and has been for a long time, lack of exposure. ie marketing. It doesn't take a genius to figure it out. His refusal to do interviews, for example. On behalf of a major game site (that shall remain nameless) I asked him if he'd do an interview (I think it was for WoI) - he flat out refused (in the nicest way possible), and wouldn't even allow us to use any screenshots of the upcoming sim that he had already posted on his site. We weren't asking for preview copies or anything - we knew that was not gonna fly (pun intended) - but screenshots?

     

    It didn't and still doesn't make any sense to me.

     

    Tablets will suck for any serious gaming, but what's wrong with Angry Birds? I'll come out of the closet as a fan. Wish I had of thought of it.
