A new entry has been added to Add-Ons Library, category CFS 2 Skins - American

Description: Description: This a retrofit kit for my P-47D Thunderbolt "Razorback". It converts my P-47d to a P-47 used by the 65th Fighter Wing Detachment B at RAF Boxted early 1944.

The Air Sea Rescue P-47s would loiter over the channel listening for any distress calls. When a call for help came, one P-47 would keep circling over the spot where the aircraft went down. The P-47s could also drop flares to guide motor launches to the down crew or small rafts for the crew. 65th Fighter Wing Detachment B became the 5th Emergency Rescue Squadron when it got PBY Catalinas and moved Halesworth January 1945.

Come with a new Texture, DP and weapons.

Good morning,

Excellent addition! Tango Romeo creased a US life raft with smoke dye...and we have Catalinas, too. Something could be done here...
 
I though about making a floating pilot that when "bombed" by a flare or raft that would become a pilot on a raft.
 
I made it as a static object so when destoryed it will show the pilot in a raft. Sadly vehicles can't move on water, if vehicles could move on water things would be good.
