AW38 Whitley MkVb Freighter by UncleTgt
This is a conversion of Ted Cook's Whitley MkVb for use in CFS 2. This is a complete aircraft.
The airfile was created by Peperez, & adopts the distinctive "nose-down" attitude in level flight.
The panel is a direct copy of Shessi's Whitley MkV panels, all I've done is to make it WIN 7 friendly.
The sound is aliased to the P-38F Lightning.
The texture is a BOAC freighter used for night-time runs between Gibraltar & Malta during 1942. Aircraft sometimes arrived over the Island whilst air raids were in progress. The conversion was not very successful, with a so-so payload to fuel ratio, & in the hot temperatures they suffered from engine cooling problems. They were quickly replaced on this route once US Lend-Lease Hudsons became available, & moved to UK-Sweden routes, or domestic UK routes.
To mimic the cargo weight I resized the FDG C-47 cargo crates (-20%) so they would fit inside the Whitley's fuselage & recompiled with a new name (sml_cargo_boxes)
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:
Ted Cook for a great aircraft, & his willingness to support converting them for use in CFS2.
Shessi for his work at bringing older models up to code, & inventing novel solutions so CFS2 can simulate such a wide range of combat operations.
Peperez for helping with the challenge of making a more accurate airfile.
The Fightertown Design Group for their C-47 cargo payloads.
Kelticheart for his exhaust effects, & inspiration for the propeller bitmaps.
This is freeware and subject to the usual conditions
