Clawson-Shessi J2F Duck Prewar by UncleTgt.
This is a development of Paul Clawson's Grumman J2F Duck for CFS 2. This is a complete aircraft.
The basic model was further developed by Shessi & has various unmirrored and detail enhancements, as well as being made multi-LOD. For the pre-war period this model is a rough approximation of the J2F-5 model, however With some paintwork it can be made to approximate the earlier models. The model itself has a glossy finish in keeping with the aluminium paint finish used.
The airfile uses the airfile originally posted by Bearcat241 in a thread at SOH, & subsequently modified by me.
The 2D panel & VC panel are WIN 7 friendly. They use a 2D panel background by Don Bodenstedt made for Swingman's Duck for FSX, I extensively altered and resized to make CFS 2 & WIN 7 friendly & then replaced the gauges with CFS2 friendly guages. I have tried to contact Mr. Bodenstedt for his permission to use the panel background, but have had no reply to date.
It includes the seaplane wake effect created by Bill Kestell, & the dp file makes use of kelticheart's exhaust effects.
The textures are:
J2F-2 Duck, U.S.S. Heron (AVP-2) 1940: This one belonged to the U.S.S. Heron's ship flight. The Heron (AVP-2) was the home of the PBY's of VP-21. It was not uncommon in the Asiatic Fleet for ships to paint each of their planes in full section leader's markings, as though it was the leader of a section of one aircraft.
J2F-3 Duck, U.S.S. Wasp (CV-7) 1940: This one belonged to the U.S.S. Wasp's ship flight in 1940. Because it belonged to CV-7's Air Department it didn't wear the black tail of the Wasp Air Group, but it still carried the Neutrality Star on it's nose, signifying Wasp's participation in the Neutrality Patrol.
J2F-4 Duck, VJ-2 Pearl Harbour Dec 7th 1941: This aircraft was present at Pearl Harbour on Dec 7th 1941.
Weapons used are: The Lewis Gun from the Mike Stone Walrus, Bismark 13s Beaufighter Bomb mounts, Baldy's Mk53 Depth Charge, & DBolts US 100lb bomb. All are available at SOH.
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:
Paul Clawson for a great aircraft.
Shessi for his work at developing this older model, remapping textures & adding details.
Bill Kestell for the seaplane effects.
Don Bodenstedt for the basic 2D panel background.
Kelticheart for his exhaust effects, & inspiration for the propeller bitmaps.
This is freeware and subject to the usual conditions
