Merlin2 Bristol Beaufort Mk1-b revised by UncleTgt
This is a revision of the Bristol Beaufort model series made by Merlin2 for CFS 2. This pack depicts the mk1-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 texture offered is: L4450 OA - F of 22 squadron RAF, circa May 1940. This aircraft lost 25/26th May 1940.
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.
This is freeware and subject to the usual conditions.
