View File [Fictional] Westland Whirlwind Mk.2D Westland Whirlwind Mk.2D for STRIKE FIGHTERS 2 This is a simple mod of Veltro2K's Westland Whirlwind to create a fictional "Desert Whirlibomber" in service with No.6 Squadron of the Royal Air Force in the 1941-1944 timeline. INSTRUCTIONS 1. From the AIRCRAFT folder drag and drop the Whirlwind2D folder into your Aircraft folder. 2. From the DECALS folder drag and drop the Whirlwind2D folder into your Decals folder. That's it! Bombs, tanks and sounds are all stock items but you will need to add a WW2 pilot (not supplied). Please note that this older 3D model does have some 'rope' issues that you can remove by turning shadows to FALSE. It's a tricky beast to get off the ground, requiring slow advancement of the throttle and a gentle touch, but is otherwise OK. CREDITS As always, thanks to Third Wire for a great little game/sim. Big thanks to Veltro2K for the Whirlwind... and so much more! And, finally, thanks to everyone in the wider Third Wire community.

View File [Fictional] Westland Whirlwind FB.2 Westland Whirlwind FB.2 for STRIKE FIGHTERS 2 This is a very simple mod of the prolific Veltro2K's Whirlwind to give a fictional Whirldwind FB.2 in service with No.6 Squadron (the famous 'Flying Can-Openers') of the RAF's Desert Air Force. This mod is meant for SF2 and, ideally, you'll have Expansion Pack 1 for the stock 250lb bombs. More experienced WW2 modders will have access to more correct bombs but I just wanted this to be as simple as possible to install. This is an older 3D model that has a few problems that will not get fixed now so it's all released 'as is'. One possible problem that could be fixed by the community here is what sounds like the undercarriage collapsing when working up to rotation speed but this rarely affects your ability to complete the mission. I've played around with it and copied other aircraft's landing gear for ideas but I can't fix it. INSTRUCTIONS 1. From the AIRCRAFT folder drag and drop the WhirlwindFB2 folder into your Aircraft folder. 2. From the DECALS folder drag and drop the WhirlwindFB2 folder into your Decals folder. That's it! But you may need to add a suitable WW2 Pilot (not supplied). CREDITS As always, thanks to Third Wire for a great little game/sim. Special thanks to Veltro2K for all of his delightfully esoteric aircraft, this is just one of many! Check them out! Thanks also to Syrinx for the Whirlwind template which I lost back in 2016 when I suffered a complete data loss : ( And, finally, thanks to everyone in the wider Third Wire community.
