Merlin2 Bristol Beaufort Mk8-b revised by UncleTgt
This is a revision of the Bristol Beaufort model series made by Merlin2 for CFS 2. This pack depicts the mk8-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: A9-396 F-FX "Diana" of 6 sqn RAAF, Goodenough Island NOV43.
A9-574 T-UV "The Tucker Box" of 8 sqn RAAF, Tadji PNG, JUL45.
A9-500 W-DD "Barmera Waikerie" of 15 sqn RAAF, Tadji PNG, MAR45.
A9-488 B-QH "Let it go Hughie!" of 100 sqn RAAF, Tadji PNG, FEB45/
