Merlin2 Bristol Beaufort Mk2-t revised by UncleTgt
This is a revision of the Bristol Beaufort model series made by Merlin2 for CFS 2. This pack depicts the mk2-t. 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: AW350 AW-P of 42 sqn RAF, Leuchars, Scotland, MAY42.
AW273 BX-G of 86 sqn RAF, Thorney Island, West Sussex. Shot down by flak off the Hook of Holland during the Channel Dash operation, 12th February 1942.
AW278 MW-F of 217 sqn RAF, Thorney Island, West Sussex. Lost off the Hook of Holland during the Channel Dash operation, 12th February 1942.
