Ivan Hsu Curtiss Hawk III model 68B RTAF revised for CFS2 by UncleTgt
This is a revision of Ivan Hsu's Curtiss Hawk III model 68B for CFS 2. This export model was used by the Royal Thai Air Force.
The model has been tweaked with a blue/green glass colour, & other changes made to model shine & gloss using MDLmat.
A new airfile has been developed, as the aircraft was too fast, & the dp file has also been tweaked.
Contact points have been added to the aircraft.cfg to allow for belly landings. The VC panel instrument clarity has been improved.
Using Ivan's repaint kit as a starting point, the textures have been redrawn, & depict a variety of aircraft of the Thai Air Force at different times throughout their active service.
The textures supplied with the base aircraft are:
JAN 1940 Pre-war roundels, as used in the Franco-Thai war.
JAN 1942 Short-lived red/white/blue flag markings, used during the Thai advance into Burma's Shan States during the spring.
DEC 1942 The Red
Sounds are not included. This is to keep the size of the download manageable. As with Ivan's original, the sounds are aliased to the stock A6M2_Zero.
Due to the complex nature of the revisions made, I decided it was better to release as a complete aircraft.
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
Ivan Hsu for a great series of multi-LOD aircraft
Allen for his DOSmdlc_2, making shine & mdl size changes possible in WIN7+
Martin Wright for so many useful tools, in this case in particular MDLmat allowing aircraft model material transparency & colour changes
Kelticheart for his inspiration for the propeller bitmaps
