    Icon22 P-47 Air Sea Rescue Kit by Allen!


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

    Description: Description: This a retrofit kit for my P-47D Thunderbolt "Razorback". It converts my P-47d to a P-47 used by the 65th Fighter Wing Detachment B at RAF Boxted early 1944.

    Link to required P-47D Thunderbolt: http://www.sim-outhouse.com/sohforum...2&linkid=19781

    The Air Sea Rescue P-47s would loiter over the channel listening for any distress calls. When a call for help came, one P-47 would keep circling over the spot where the aircraft went down. The P-47s could also drop flares to guide motor launches to the down crew or small rafts for the crew. 65th Fighter Wing Detachment B became the 5th Emergency Rescue Squadron when it got PBY Catalinas and moved Halesworth January 1945.

    Come with a new Texture, DP and weapons.

    Good morning,

    Excellent addition! Tango Romeo creased a US life raft with smoke dye...and we have Catalinas, too. Something could be done here...

    Very nice!

    Something interesting and different, and as Rami says, gives options.

    Cheers

    I though about making a floating pilot that when "bombed" by a flare or raft that would become a pilot on a raft.

    Allen, that's a great piece of thinking outside the box

    The pilot would have be a static object only or the destoryed logic won't work. Also did pilots have sea marking dye and what color?

    Will it work as a vehicle?

    I made it as a static object so when destoryed it will show the pilot in a raft. Sadly vehicles can't move on water, if vehicles could move on water things would be good.
