ETO FAA Avenger skinpack UT
This is a set of repaints for Allens FAA Avenger MkII for CFS 2.
These aircraft all operated in the ETO.
"2B", FN849 of 846 sqn FAA, operating aboard HMS Trumpter during AUG 44.
JZ554 of 854 sqn FAA operating from Hawkinge during June & July 44 in support of the D-Day landings.
Leading Airman Fred Shirmer was the TAG in Avenger Mk.II, JZ554 of 854 NAS, being flown by Sub Lt. Davies from RAF Hawkinge on the 9th July 1944 and the crew were flying home from their patrol over the Channel when a V-1 overtook them at high speed......so they became alert for any more which might follow and sure enough one did...which was duly dispatched by Fred at 700 yards distance using only 20 rounds of 0 .5 cal ammo from his single turret gun! He received a mention in dispatches for this fantastic shooting.
Also included, a WIN 7 safe 2D panel & a modified dp with kelti exhaust effects & new loadouts.
Weapons used: DBolts U.S. weapons, Bismark13s Beaufighter bombs. Baldy's aerial mine & 1600lb AP bomb from his Barracuda Mk2, Shessi's 250lb depth charge.
Options to use Gary20s ASV radar aerials (too big for ASB radar, but the nearest we have so far), & a MkIII Avenger loadout that calls for AF Scrubs radar pod from his Firefly NF1. (http://www.thefreeflightsite.com/FIREFLY NF Mk1.zip)
To install, unzip the download and place your chosen files in the matching folders for Allen's Avenger MkII model within the aircraft folder in your CFS2 Main Directory.
Thanks to: Allen for revising the OH TBF to represent the model used by FAA squadrons. The B24 Guy for his original work de-mirroring the MS Stock TBF.
This is freeware and subject to the usual conditions.
