FDG2 DC3 SWPTO skinpack UT

A new entry has been added to Add-Ons Library, category CFS 2 Skins - American

Description: FDG2 DC3 SWPTO Skinpack by UncleTgt


This is a collection of repaints for the FDG2 DC3 for CFS 2. They depict aircraft that served in & around the SWPTO.


A tweaked model is included, with a slight sheen & shiny glass, plus some of the vibrant purple parts that showed in the lower LODs have been recoloured. Some of the repaints are for unpainted aircraft, so a "shiny" aluminium model is also provided.


I've revised the DP file to fix some obvious omissions & improve the visual damage effects when in combat. I also took the opportunity to add kelticheart exhaust effects.


New payloads have been added, using DBolt US bombs to mimic the weight carried during transport missions.


The textures are:


PK-AFV My impression of the infamous "diamond" flight, crashlanded on the shoreline near Broome, WA, March 1942


VH-UZJ Unpainted & still rather shiny, this Australian National Airlines aircraft was flying Australian Commandoes into Wau during May 1942


VH-CXD Used to carry personnel & materials to & from Port Moresby Papua New Guinea throughout 1942


VH-CCC Pictured at Garbutt 'drome, NT during July 1943, VH-CCC sports the short-lived red outlined star & bar insignia.


CH-CDJ Also pictured at Garbutt 'drome, NT during July 1943, an unpainted VH-CDJ sports the simpler white bar added to the earlier US star.

To install, unzip the download to a temporary location & move/ copy files to the matching folder names inside your chosen CFS 2 install.


Thanks to


The Fightertown Design Group for the original aircraft.
Martin Wright for so many useful tools - I used MDLmat to give the glass parts some sheen.
Allen for his DOSmdlv2 - I used it to give the model a slight shine.
Kelticheart for his prop bitmap & exhaust effects.

This is freeware and subject to the usual conditions
