ALPHA Coastal Command (latewar) Halifax for CFS2 by UncleTgt
This is an collection of Coastal Command Halifax based on the Alphasim Halifax BIII.
These provide new airfile, dp file & textures to use with a copy of ALPHA_Halifax_BIII_UT.
Radial engined Halifaxes were late to the party for Coastal Command. Most of their activity seems to be from late '44 onwards, by which time the Battle of the Atlantic & Biscay campaigns had been long decided. Their actions seem to be limited to Meterological flights & night-time anti-ship strikes across the Kattegat.
The options provided for are: Halifax GRIII (dp file optimized for ship attacks)
PN402 V9 - X of 502 squadron 18 Group RAF, early April 1945. In standard Heavy Bomber camo. This aircraft believed shot down by nightfighters 9/10 April '45
Halifax GRIIIa (dp file optimised for LR anti-sub ops)
I've failed to find any evidence of GRIIIs in Grey over White camo, so a plain repaint is provided for use as a placeholder.
Halifax MetIII (dp file reflecting VLR meterological flights)
PN396 Y3 - W of 518 squadron RAF circa May '45
Halifax MetVI (dp file reflecting VLR meterological flights)
RG873 Y3 - P of 202 squadron RAF circa September '46
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
