The Hawker Tempest Mk.II is out. At last.
This model is for any CFS3 installation which has AvHistory Weapons and Effects installed. (MAW, ETO and Rising Sun already have these)
Model by Tom Faulds
Graphics These are John Whelan’s wonderful work, I really don't know how he does it! Nigel Dickinson very kindly volunteered the .mos file and damage textures.
Johno_UK sent me the engine texture, and the Headshaker gunsight code. Thanks also to Vitus for his Photoshop tutorials (you too can paint authentic gauges): keep the dirty side down, mate!
Flight model My grateful thanks to Rene Leppä for his sterling work. It seems I could have been faffing at this for ages, but he kindly volunteered to take the job off my hands. Thank you, Rene!
Sounds Nigel Richards sent me his 2014 Sea Fury soundpack for FSX and it’s included with his kind permission: if you’ve ever watched one display you’ll recognise the distinct Centaurus rumble. Αίεν Υψικρατείν, Nigel! The Hispano Mk.V cannon sounds are derived from the Microsoft original: I wanted something beefier.
XDP and CFG files Rob Stevenson made some valuable suggestions for the cockpit views and extensively reworked the aircraft.cfg: thanks Rob!
There are four distinct versions:–
MW774, HF-X, was one of the first Tempest Mk.IIs issued to 183 Squadron, Chilbolton in 1945: the squadron was renumbered as 54 Squadron in November the same year. This model can carry the “Tiger Force” loadout of twin bombs (500 or 1,000lb each) with a single 90 gallon drop tank under the fuselage.
PR733, EG-X was flown by Sqn Ldr R. E. Mooney of 16 Squadron RAF, British Forces of Occupation, Fassberg, Germany in 1947. This was an FB.2 with strengthened wings.
PR674, FR-C was flown by Wing Commander Frank R Carey while OC 135 Wing RAF, 1948, and carries his pennant. In common with PR733, this is the tropicalised version of the Tempest FB.2 with the air filter intake on top of the fuselage. There are two versions of this paint, the second looking very worn and tired. Set your season to Autumn in CFS3 to see this.
A139, T, of the Royal Pakistan Air Force (1947-1956); formerly PR809 of the RAF. Pakistan were the last and the longest operators of the type.
Out when the Library has looked it over!
