There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.
If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.
Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Alphasim Hallybags are now released & development thread!
- Thread starter UncleTgt
- Start date
some repaints, & then I'll begin uploading...

Ravenna, I might have to leave that to somebody else. I've tried for days now to configure a bombsight as a fixed window & it just doesn't want to work for me - I must be missing something in my Test Install config I think. The bitmaps are done, but it won't switch to show the bombsight view except facing forwards, very puzzling.

ALPHA Halifax C8 + Halton UT.zip
A new entry has been added to Add-Ons Library, category CFS 2 Aircraft - British
Description: ALPHA Halifax C8 & Halton for CFS2 by UncleTgt
This is an update of the conversion of the Alphasim Halifax C8 & Halton done by Shessi. It is uploaded as a complete aircraft for ease of install.
Any crashcheck or g_lightstate entries in the model have been removed, so it can be flown in Freeflight or Quick Combat. A new airfile was developed for CFS2, as was a new DP file. The .dp file uses kelticheart exhaust effects. Payloads included are various cargo options using the FDG C-47 cargo weapons, & they are not visible, they are simply there to affect aircraft handling.
The 2D panel has been made WIN7+ safe.
The passenger door opens with the normal cockpit open/close command.
The textures included are: Halifax CVIII
GR - A, PP332 of 301 squadron RAF, circa 1946. Painted in the camo over Azure Blue Transport Command scheme from the immediate post war period, & provided with a dulled down mdl.
G-AIAR of British American Air Services, from the time frame of the Berlin Airlift, 1949.
G-AIHY of Lancashire Air Corporation, again from the time frame of the Berlin Airlift, 1949.
Halton: Three different schemes for the same aircraft, G-AHDM
G-AHDM "Falmouth" of BOAC circa 1947.
G-AHDM of Westminster Airways in 1949.
G-AHDM of WEstminster Airways just prior to their demise in 1950.
To install, unzip the download to a temporary location & move/ copy files to the matching folder names inside your chosen CFS2 install.
Thanks to: Shessi for the original conversion, & Alphasim for the original aircraft.
Allen for his DOSmdlc_2, making shine & mdl size changes possible in WIN7+.
Martin Wright for so many useful tools, in this case in particular MDLmat allowing aircraft model material transparency & colour changes.
Kelticheart for his prop bitmaps & exhaust effects.
This is freeware and subject to the usual conditions.

ALPHA Halifax BIII UT.zip
A new entry has been added to Add-Ons Library, category CFS 2 Aircraft - British
Description: ALPHA Halifax BIII for CFS2 by UncleTgt
This is an update of the conversion of the Alphasim Halifax BIII done by Shessi & separately by Peperez. It is uploaded as a complete aircraft for ease of install.
Any crashcheck or g_lightstate entries in the model have been removed, so it can be flown in Freeflight or Quick Combat. A new airfile was developed for CFS2, as was a new DP file. The dp file uses kelticheart exhaust effects.
The 2D panel & Bombsight has been made WIN7+ safe. Peperez' gunner view bitmaps have been similarly made WIN 7+ safe, but not included in the panel.cfg
The crew door opens with the normal cockpit open/close command, bomb bay doors with the Spoiler key (D). Unfortunately the cowl flaps animation didn't make it.
The new dp file required some creative thinking, as RAF Hallybags almost always carried payloads almost entirely consisting of Incendiaries. I adapted Shessi's 4000lb Cookie to make it's slim-line cousin, the 2000lb Cookie. I similarly adapted Allen's M10 Rocket weapon (because it was multi-LOD) & using alpha channels was able to give a poor facsimile of how a load of 4lb incendiaries might appear just after release. Until something better comes along , it's the best I could come up with! The payloads reflect typical "standardized" RAF Bomber Command load-outs for 1943 onward.
This time just a single texture is included: LW430 C8 - T "Tommy the Tourist" of 640 squadron RAF, Leconfield, 24th March 1944.
Some research material about this aircraft is included in this upload. Those who know me will understand why I felt compelled to depict this particular aircraft.
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: Shessi for the original conversion, & Alphasim for the original aircraft.
Peperez for his conversion & modelling of the other variants with his airfiles.
Allen for his DOSmdlc_2, making shine & mdl size changes possible in WIN7+.
Arno Gerretsen for ModelconverterX, such a clever & versatile tool.
Robert John for his CFS2 Exploding Objects tutorial.
Shessi & Allen for allowing me to butcher & adapt their weapons to create some new ones.
Martin Wright for so many useful tools, in this case in particular MDLmat allowing aircraft model material transparency & colour changes.
Kelticheart for his prop bitmaps & exhaust effects.
This is freeware and subject to the usual conditions.

This is my impression of the Halifax BVI based on the Alphasim Halifax BIII.
These provide new airfile, dp file & textures to use with a copy of ALPHA_Halifax_BIII_UT.
The BVI used Hercules 100 engines & had a pressurised fuel system. It was in service from late '44 onwards.
The options provided for are: RG481 DY - O of 102 squadron RAF circa December '44.
RG610 DY - K of 102 squadron RAF circa October '45.

This is my impression of the Halifax BVII based on the Alphasim Halifax BIII.
These provide new airfile, dp file & textures to use with a copy of ALPHA_Halifax_BIII_UT.
The BVII reverted to using Hercules XVI engines due to problems delivering Hercules 100 engines for the Mk BVI. It was used almost exclusively by the Canadian squadrons of 6 Group Bomber Command & was in service from July '44 onward.
The options provided for are: NP714 EQ - V 408 squadron RCAF circa August '44.
NP689 QO - M "Moonlight Mermaid" 432 squadron RCAF flying from East Moor, circa July '44. 7 mission stars applied.
NP689 QO - M "Moonlight Mermaid" 432 squadron RCAF flying from East Moor, circa March '45. 80 mission stars applied, this is how she would have looked on her last mission when she was lost 15th March '45

ALPHA latewar Coastal Command Halifaxes UT.zip
A new entry has been added to Add-Ons Library, category CFS 2 Skins - British
Description: ALPHA Coastal Command (latewar) Halifax for CFS2 by UncleTgt
This is an collection of Coastal Command Halifax based on the Alphasim Halifax BIII.
These provide new airfile, dp file & textures to use with a copy of ALPHA_Halifax_BIII_UT.
Radial engined Halifaxes were late to the party for Coastal Command. Most of their activity seems to be from late '44 onwards, by which time the Battle of the Atlantic & Biscay campaigns had been long decided. Their actions seem to be limited to Meterological flights & night-time anti-ship strikes across the Kattegat.
The options provided for are: Halifax GRIII (dp file optimized for ship attacks)
PN402 V9 - X of 502 squadron 18 Group RAF, early April 1945. In standard Heavy Bomber camo. This aircraft believed shot down by nightfighters 9/10 April '45
Halifax GRIIIa (dp file optimised for LR anti-sub ops)
I've failed to find any evidence of GRIIIs in Grey over White camo, so a plain repaint is provided for use as a placeholder.
Halifax MetIII (dp file reflecting VLR meterological flights)
PN396 Y3 - W of 518 squadron RAF circa May '45
Halifax MetVI (dp file reflecting VLR meterological flights)
RG873 Y3 - P of 202 squadron RAF circa September '46
