Description: ALPHA Halifax C8 & Halton for CFS2 by UncleTgt

This is an update of the conversion of the Alphasim Halifax C8 & Halton done by Shessi. It is uploaded as a complete aircraft for ease of install.

Any crashcheck or g_lightstate entries in the model have been removed, so it can be flown in Freeflight or Quick Combat. A new airfile was developed for CFS2, as was a new DP file. The .dp file uses kelticheart exhaust effects. Payloads included are various cargo options using the FDG C-47 cargo weapons, & they are not visible, they are simply there to affect aircraft handling.

The 2D panel has been made WIN7+ safe.

The passenger door opens with the normal cockpit open/close command.

The textures included are: Halifax CVIII

GR - A, PP332 of 301 squadron RAF, circa 1946. Painted in the camo over Azure Blue Transport Command scheme from the immediate post war period, & provided with a dulled down mdl.

G-AIAR of British American Air Services, from the time frame of the Berlin Airlift, 1949.

G-AIHY of Lancashire Air Corporation, again from the time frame of the Berlin Airlift, 1949.

Halton: Three different schemes for the same aircraft, G-AHDM

G-AHDM "Falmouth" of BOAC circa 1947.

G-AHDM of Westminster Airways in 1949.

G-AHDM of WEstminster Airways just prior to their demise in 1950.

To install, unzip the download to a temporary location & move/ copy files to the matching folder names inside your chosen CFS2 install.

Thanks to: Shessi for the original conversion, & Alphasim for the original aircraft.

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.

Kelticheart for his prop bitmaps & exhaust effects.

This is freeware and subject to the usual conditions.
