Merlin2 Bristol Beaufort Mk2-b revised by UncleTgt
Updated 27-NOV-19 to include missing MODEL folder & contents.
This is a revision of the Bristol Beaufort model series made by Merlin2 for CFS 2. This pack depicts the mk2-b. I used MDLmat & DosMDLCv2 to give the model some shine, better coloured aircrew lifevests, plus improve the glass transparency & colour, prop disks etc.
The 2D panel bitmap has been made WIN7+ safe, & the definition of the VC instruments has been improved.
The .dp file has been given historically accurate payload options, & the damage effects, hitpoints & AI gun performance tweaked to give a better combat experience. As the airfile was developed by Jerry Beckwith, the only thing I adjusted was to lower the elevator authority somewhat, to try to make it less fighter-like when engaged. I changed the aircraft family from 4 to 5 (more a G4M2 Betty than a TBF Avenger), but this has not been tested extensively in missions.
The sounds are aliased to the C47 Dakota.
The textures offered are: AW371 BX-Q 86 sqn RAF, Wick, Scotland MAY42. This aircraft failed to return from a recon mission off the Norwegian coast 28th May 1942.
AW347 BX-S 86 sqn RAF, Skitten, Scotland, MAR42.
DD892 -N 39 sqn RAF, Luqa, Malta, APR43. Lost during a nighttime patrol off Salerno, Italy 11th April 1943.
AW313 -F 16 sqn SAAF, Misurata, Libya JAN45.

Baldy Mk VII depth charge: http://www.sim-outhouse.com/sohforum...tid=17&id=6687
Shessi 250lb depth charge: http://www.sim-outhouse.com/sohforum...id=17&id=22592
Hudson weapons package: https://www.virtualwings.org/downloa...apons_v099.zip
Beaufighter weapons: http://www.sim-outhouse.com/sohforum...tid=50&id=6860 (You don't need the aircraft, just the weapons)
FDG weapons: http://www.sim-outhouse.com/sohforum...tid=17&id=5273
Groundcrew British weapons: http://www.sim-outhouse.com/sohforum...tid=17&id=4398
To install, unzip the download to a temporary location & move/ copy files to the matching folder names inside your chosen CFS2 install.
Thanks to: Merlin2 for the original multi-LOD Beaufort.
Kelticheart for his prop bitmaps & exhaust effects.
