FSX SP-2 OS2U KINGFISHER PACK FSX rebuild of my earlier OS2U Kingfisher releases. Includes both float and wheeled versions, with improved VC's,and new XML gauges. Built with the FSX SP-2 SDK, but NOT tested in Vista/DX10.
First flight with the Regia Aeronautica in January 1938. Had rounded nose, two engines, low-slung fuselage, wings with a very long chord. They were fitted with 1,000 hp Piaggio P.XI RC.40 engines, Piaggio P.1001 3-blade metal propeller. Only a few were used by Regia Aeronautica, the rest sold to Hungarian Airforce in Russian front.
Model, texture, panel by F.Giuli. Gauges different authors.
FS2004 model, panel bitmap, Vcockpit and aircraft files by F. Giuli with FSDS V.3. Textures by Uncle TGT. CFS2 airfile, aircraft.cfg and panel modification Peperez (Pepe Rezende). DP by Peperez (Pepe Rezende) and Uncle TGT. Effects by Kelticheart. The Caproni-Begamaschi Ca.311 was an Italian monoplane, low wing, twin-engine reconnaissance aircraft used in World War II. Derived from the similar Ca.310, it flew in April 1939 and took part in the earlier phases of World War II in Libya. In all, 335 units were built.
The fix by Peperez uploaded on 10 August, 2014 has now been included in the original package. Done by the SOH Librarian.
This is a conversion of the SM82 Canguro by F.Giuli for CFS 2.
The pack includes a new air file, optimised for AI & player aircraft performance. A completely new 2D panel was provided by MVG & Kelticheart, & they also created some Italian gauges specifically for this conversion.
The ventral turret uses the concorde nose/retract key, bomb bay doors & exits use the usual spoiler & Cockpit commands.
Because of the variety of uses the Canguro was put to during it's service, & the limitations of CFS 2 in depicting fuel & payload options, it will be uploaded as a series of six different role-specific aircraft. This is solely to simplify installation. The complete listing is:
SM82_Bomber_LR (long range bomber)
SM82_Bomber_SR (short range bomber)
SM82 Cargo_LR (long range transport)
SM82 Cargo_SR (short range transport)
SM82 Cargo_LR_GER (long range transport using German weapons)
SM82 Cargo_SR_GER (short range transport using German weapons)
This version is the SM82_cargo_LR (long range transport)
The texture supplied is: 604-2 - 604 Squadron, 145 Group, Libya, circa August 1941
To install, unzip the download to a temporary location & move/ copy files to the matching folder names inside your chosen CFS2 install.
Thanks to: F. Giuli for the original Savioa Marchetti SM82 Canguro.
Allen for his DOSmdlc_2, making shine & mdl size changes possible in WIN7+.
Martin Wright for so many useful tools, in this case in particular MDLmat allowing aircraft model material transparency & colour changes.
Shessi for the steer on the best material colours & properties for clearer cockpit glass for CFS2.
Kelticheart for his exhaust effects, & inspiration for the propeller bitmaps.
Manuele Villa & Kelticheart for their work on gauges & the 2D Panels.
Peperez for his work on the airfile.

In 1938 a new project was started by Caproni, in response to an Air Ministry requirement The Caproni Ca.135 was an Italian medium bomber designed at Bergamo in Italy by Cesare Pallavicino. It flew for the first time in 1935, and entered service with the Peruvian Air Force in 1937, and with the Regia Aeronautica (Italian Royal Air Force) in January 1938. They were exported to Hungary, that used them at the Russian Front with some success despite its inadequacies.
