ALPHA Halifax BVII for CFS2 by UncleTgt
This is my impression of the Halifax BVII based on the Alphasim Halifax BIII.
These provide new airfile, dp file & textures to use with a copy of ALPHA_Halifax_BIII_UT.
The BVII reverted to using Hercules XVI engines due to problems delivering Hercules 100 engines for the Mk BVI. It was used almost exclusively by the Canadian squadrons of 6 Group Bomber Command & was in service from July '44 onward.
The options provided for are: NP714 EQ - V 408 squadron RCAF circa August '44.
NP689 QO - M "Moonlight Mermaid" 432 squadron RCAF flying from East Moor, circa July '44. 7 mission stars applied.
NP689 QO - M "Moonlight Mermaid" 432 squadron RCAF flying from East Moor, circa March '45. 80 mission stars applied, this is how she would have looked on her last mission when she was lost 15th March '45
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: Shessi for the original conversion, & Alphasim for the original aircraft.
Peperez for his conversion & modelling of the other variants with his airfiles.
Allen for his DOSmdlc_2, making shine & mdl size changes possible in WIN7+.
Arno Gerretsen for ModelconverterX, such a clever & versatile tool.
Robert John for his CFS2 Exploding Objects tutorial.
Shessi & Allen for allowing me to butcher & adapt their weapons to create some new ones.
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.
