Description: Shessi-Cook Hawker Hardy revision by UncleTgt
This is a collection of modifications for the revamp of Ted Cook's Hawker Hardy done by Shessi for CFS 2. It uses the Audax model file, all I ve done is to rename this file to avoid problems in the sim should both Audax & Hardy aircraft be present at the same time (highly likely in East Africa for instance!).
I've modified the cockpit glass colour & reduced the model shine for camoflage paints.
I've made the 2D panel bitmap WIN 7+ safe, & provided different coloured bitmaps for the different repaints. I developed more payload options in the DP files, see the ordnance notes for which weapon packs were used.
A new airfile was developed, & optimised for AI & combat performance.
The textures are:
K4062 from 30 sqn RAF, Mosul, Iraq, circa June 1936
K5917 2G used by 237(Rhodesia) sqn RAF, in Sudan & Eritrea circa April 1941.
This version painted in the more likely ETO colours of Dk Green/Dk Earth camouflage.
K5917 2G used by 237(Rhodesia) sqn RAF, in Sudan & Eritrea circa April 1941.
This version painted in the less likely MTO colours of Mid Stone/Dk Earth camouflage.
K4307 used by 237(Rhodesia) sqn RAF & destroyed by Italian strafing attack on Goz Regeb, Sudan, December 1940
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 his undoubted skill in bringing us a wide variety of aircraft for use in this old sim.
Ted Cook for the original aircraft, developed originally for FS2004.
Allen for his DOSmdlc_2, making shine & mdl size changes possible in WIN7+
Arno Gerretsen for ModelconverterX, such a clever & versatile tool
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
