Brewster B-339B Buffalo Vichy Skin by UncleTgt
This is a "what-if" repaint for the Brewster B-339B Buffalo by Thicko for CFS 2.
I made the 2D panel bitmap WIN7+ safe. A new airfile & dp file are provided, & I used Allen's MDLC v2 & Martin Wright's MDLmat to adjust the model shine & glass colour.
The premise is:
There were Belgian B-339B Buffaloes as cargo on the French CV Bearn in June 1940. She had sailed before the French surrender. When the surrender was announced, she sailed for Martinique in the Caribbean. What if she & her escorts had continued to cross the Atlantic instead, & perhaps docking at Dakar in West Africa?
I assumed the Vichy French administration there would have made use of the Buffaloes for air defence. Struggling to acquire the correct ammo for their guns, I have adjusted the DP to use 4 x 7.5mm MG instead.
To install, unzip the download to a temporary location & move/ copy files to the matching folder names inside your chosen CFS 2 install.
Thanks to
Thicko for the original aircraft. So good, even after all these years.
Kelticheart for his prop bitmaps, which were the inspiration for the new propdisk texture.
This is freeware and subject to the usual conditions
