Merlin2 Bristol Beaufort Mk2-des revised by UncleTgt
This is a revision of the Bristol Beaufort model series made by Merlin2 for CFS 2. This pack depicts the mk2-des. 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: DD931 5-P 5 Middle East Torpedo School, Shallufa, Egypt, SEP43 Depicted in Green/Grey/Azure Blue camo. (most likely scheme)
DD931 5-P 5 Middle East Torpedo School, Shallufa, Egypt, SEP43 Depicted in Dk Earty/ Mid Stone/Azure Blue camo. (least likely scheme - I have only seen evidence of Mk1s in desert camo)
DD896 -G 39 sqn RAF, Luqa, Malta NOV42.
AW355 -G 86 sqn RAF, Luqa, Malta, JUL42. This aircraft lost to flak whilst attacking an Italian convoy off Kefalonia, 24th July 1942.
To use the provided .dp file that depicts more historically authentic weapons and payloads, the following weapons packs are required...
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.
