P-38H-1 Lightning, 42-66568, 'Impossible Ince' of Lt James C. Ince, 432nd FS, 475th FG, Dobodura, November, 1943. Fits CFS2 and other MS FS versions. Repaint of David C. Copley's excellent P-38, (CFS2 P-38 Triple Play), this is just the repainted skin. You need to have the original aircraft available from (among others) the sim-outhouse and: http://www.netwings.org/library/CFS2_Planes/American/ Have fun. Gil Shaw. (cobrauk)
FSX SP-2 Grumman OV-1 Mohawk Series Super-Pack FSX rebuild of my earlier OV-1 series . This "SuperPack" contains the OV-1B's OV-1C, and OV-1D's that were previously released separately. The OV-1's now sport improved VC's, 2048x2048 tex's, and added animations. NOT tested in Vista/DX10! Read the readme file!
This is a collection of early-war US bomb models, compiled as weapon bgls, so they can be added via the aircraft dp.
Whilst researching for my Solomons scenery I kept coming across accounts of B-17's(in particular) carrying out raids using 300lb &/or 600lb weapons. I came across a couple of photos of B-17s being bombed up in the Philippines/ Dutch East Indies & that seemed to confirm they were real weapons, & not misremembered/incorrectly recorded bomb weights. I couldn't find much online apart from a few references to an obsolete Mk1(modified) range of bombs, developed prior to WW2, but declared unfit for use (poor ballistics & flight characteristics...).
These USAAC weapons are missing from CFS 2. I'm guessing the crews used these weapons in the absence of anything better! Visually they looked more bulbous & bulky than the later GP series weapons, as modelled by DBolt.
They are multiLOD, & each model centre is the pylon hang point, same as Allens & DBolts weapons. This should allow for some consolidation of aircraft mounts, helping with CFS 2's 24 Hardpoint limit.
WEP_US_1100lb_mk3M1_UT
1100lb bomb, used as a blast bomb through 1942 & into 1943.
WEP_US_600lb_mk1M3_UT
600lb bomb, used as a blast bomb through 1942 & into 1943.
WEP_US_300lb_mk1M2_UT
300lb bomb, used as a blast bomb through 1942 & into 1943.
WEP_US_100lb_mk1M4_sngle_UT
100lb bomb, often used as an anti-personnel weapon during long-range raids on Jap airbases.
WEP_US_100lb_mk1M4_x5_UT
a vertical stack of 5 x 100lb bombs. Developed as a workaround for CFS 2's hardpoint number limit
(a B-17E carried 20 of these - this way they only use 4 hardpoints)
It's a visual tradeoff, they drop "tidy", & you only get 4 bomb blasts. But seeing as CFS2 sees bombs as 1 of 3 or 4 types, so everything up to 300lb would be a Type 1 bomb anyways, so IMHO smaller weight bombs are way "over-specd" in most cases. These were used as a standard airfield denial payload by B-17s across SWPTO & PNG through 1943.
This exercise spurred me to develop similar "clusters of DBolt's 100lb GP bombs, also included in this pack. These would be more appropraite for 1943 onwards.
WEP_DB_US_100lb_x5_UT
a vertical stack of 5 x 100lb bombs. Developed as a workaround for CFS 2's hardpoint number limit
(a B-17E carried 20 of these - this way they only use 4 hardpoints)
WEP_DB_US_100lb_x4_UT
a horizontal line of 4 x 100lb bombs. Developed as a workaround for CFS 2's hardpoint number limit
(a TBF carried 12 of these - this way they only use 3 hardpoints)

This is a revision of Allen's P-39D1 Airacobra for CFS 2. Because of the extensive nature of the revisions I've decided to upload as a complete aircraft for ease of installation. I've taken Allen's P-39D1 & created a P-400 Airacobra.
The model has been tweaked with a blue/green glass colour & slight changes to sheen using MDLmat. Cockpit glass is now shiny. To avoid possible CTDs if using this alongside other P39 versions that also share the same model file source, I've renamed the P39D1_airacobra.mdl to P400_Airacobra.mdl.
The airfile was thoroughly revised & optimized for AI formation keeping & combat performance, whilst giving believable performance in speed, range & ceiling.
The panel is aliased to the stock P-39D.
The Sound is aliased to the stock P-39D.
The dp file makes use of kelticheart's exhaust effects. It makes use of DBolt's US bombs, & my recompile of Wolfi's US pilot. The drop tank is DBolt's P47 tank.
I created a P400 exhaust object. It adds 12 exhaust stubs & a pilots seat. The stock pilot is hidden using alpha channel textures.
The texture supplied is: "W" 26 - Aircraft from 80FS, 8FG, operating from Milne Bay, PNG, September '42.

Martin Wright for so many useful tools, in this case in particular MDLmat allowing aircraft model material transparency & colour changes.
