HO, HO, HO!

How do I install an update?

Bf-110A0 and B1   BAT exclusive

In 1937, the first pre-series run of the Bf-110A was powered by the Jumo210 as an interim solution and had a two blade propeller. It proved to be underpowered. The first B series run still had the Jumos since the DB601 wasn't availble yet, so almost a hundred were built and delivered to training units.

This is based on a very old mod by Riken (aka Bf-110B4) which had suffered form a few functional issues I could iron out now. I added Jumo-style chin coolers and divided the versions with new FMs. This is a for fun pre-war mod.
- cooler parts are not skinnable but work with vpmedia Bf-110 skins.
- early style cockpit, including gunner station
- new FM
- A0: 4x 7.7mm;  B1 4x 7.7mm + 2x 20mm

Riken, ANDYTOTHED

Arado Ar 232B
With it's all-terrain landing gear and the rear loading ramp, the Ar 232 is a very advanced design
by Zflyer48



E13A1B flyable in new slot
This has been a WIP for a longer time but is eventually added as-is now.
It has folding wings, radar, torpedoes...
Quote
TD, CWatson and SAS~Bombsaway


Airships ZRS and ZRCV position lights on with loudout "empty" - ZRS Macon has two lights placed next to the hangar for nocturnal operations!




P-39N1M  and  P-39Q-30
Two additional Airacobra slots with Russian modifications and loadouts.
by Karabas-Barabas



Polikarpov I-187
A very mean looking fighter of the I-185 family. It didn't make it off the drawing boards in 1943/44 (none built), but that does not prevent it from flying in Il-2 BAT
Quote
import by Dimon


Ilyushin IL-1
In 1944, the IL-1 was built as a single prototype for a heavily armored low level fighter
Quote
import by Dimon


Polikarpov-ITP
A heavy fighter which didn't make it beyond prototype status
Quote
101tfs- 3D importation
CWatson- Classes and Flightmodel
MrCraig - various



FM-1 Airacuda  revisited:

- original mod by ZFlyer48
- new default skin, new FM and java classes
- Allison engine sound
- AI now attacks targets, rear gunner shooting
- navlights and landing lights




reintroduction of the Me-262 V3 1942 tail sitter

The four tail-sitter prototypes had a differently placed main gear. The old mod didn't change this and was standing at too steep an angle with a CoG problem. I moved the gear forward to it's proper position so this fun mod can now perform its only real trick to satisfaction: take off and landing in a tail wheel jet.
Therefore I simply closed up the underbelly, this mod has no more visible wheel wells and comes as-is for fun.

- original mod by Slow
- closed wheel wells
- gear moved forward for better CoG
- retractable tail gear
- MG151/20 and MK-108 test loadouts
- modified default skin with removed wheel wells.
- bonus: two marked skins for V2 and V3 PC+UB, PC+UC


new cockpits by Asura:


Martin Mars


Stearman PT-17
- FS import by Asura + a few clipping tweaks by me



PV-2 Harpoon
including radar


cockpits by WxTech:



- Ki-44 II
- Ki-43 II / II Kai

- Wildcats


- P-38

various updates and fixes:

- LeO H.470 generator fix  (Epervier/IES)
- FM-2Z non-US wing fix
- French flying boats FM/clip fix (Epervier/IES)
- Ki-27 KO (Japan) cockpit blister fix

Other era modules new content      -    only accessible if you previously installed v4.1 Blue Edge:





DOF:

- RAF SE5 cockpit clipping and double mesh fix


TGA:


Heinkel He-70 (new 3d model and slot)
same as in WAW, but with SCW default skin (void included!)


Integrated from DOF:  Felixstowe F2A/F
The Felixtowe was used well into the late 20s by Britain and the US Navy (as Curtiss F.5)


Integrated from WAW:  J2F Duck
The Duck was first introduced in 1935 as JF. While we have a model of the later J2F type, it's a worthwhile addition to TGA as well I think, especially since it is amphibian.

I tried to contact Monty about this during the development phase, unsuccessfully.
Myself, I am impartial about Helis and if someone wants to join and partake in developing a package with me, I am open for PM.
