DBW 1936 - One stop SCW Mod Pack download!
« on: March 04, 2016, 02:25:47 AM »

Are you curious about trying aerial combat during the Spanish Civil War, but finding the 12 downloads of "IL-2 SCW" a bit dauting? Then this is for you! "DBW 1936" is a smaller, more compact version of that mod-pack.

Like “IL-2 SCW” "DBW 1936" is an add-on to Dark Blue World (DBW) 1.71. The aim of "DBW 1936" is to provide a thematically coherent collection of mods that can be easily installed and activated through JSGME.exe. (And as it is activated through JSGME it can’t “break” your installation, but can be switched “on” and ”off” as the player pleases.)

The difference between this modpack and "IL-2 SCW" is that "DBW 1936" only requires ONE download. That's it. One D/L and you are good to go. It has been created as I know that some players are interested in this era and in the Air War over Spain 1936-39 but are a bit put off by the prospect of all downloading required.

This mod pack is supposed to go on top of a clean install of the MOD pack DBW (“Dark Blue World”), 1.71. You can download DBW 1.71 here: https://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php?board=192.0

YOU CAN DOWNLOAD DBW 1936 HERE: http://www.mission4today.com/index.php?name=Downloads3&file=details&id=2274

C.) 31 new functional ground units:
*   15 armoured vehicles, including the following four SCW-era AFV’s: The L3-CV 35 Tankette, the Schneider CA.1 and the PzKpfw Ia & Ib. (Also included are remade versions of two stock tanks.) They have been made by Giotto and Wingflyer (plus probably someone more, as yet unknown – please advise) with the aid of Epervier. All of these mods and more info can be found here: https://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/board,119.0.html

*   8 new combinations of horse-drawn artillery, made by Epervier, SAS~GJE52, Lejo & Archie. This mod and more info on it can be found here: https://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/topic,19534.0.html
*   8 new combinations of horse-drawn or motorized wagons, made by Epervier, SAS~GJE52, Lejo & Archie. This mod and more info on it can be found here: https://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/topic,19284.0.html

D.) 9 new ships:
*   3 civilian ships: two small steamers and one motor schooner, all made by Giotto. All of these mods and more info can be found here: https://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/board,119.0.html
*   3 small armed trawlers: All have been made by Giotto. (Stanislao has repainted them.) More info here: https://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/topic,28884.0.html
*   1 small coastal steamer and 2 new submarines (types VIIB & IXB) by Team Daidalos.

E.) 2 new maps:
*   Northeast Spain - winter and summer versions - by Redeye_JIR. More info on the map included in this update can be found here: https://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/topic,27394.0.html
*   Central Spain by Redeye_JIR - another one of his master-pieces!

F.) Plus of course this:
*   Mission folders for Republic (ES) and nationalists (SP), by Cracken
*   New start-up screen
*   Menu music for Nationalists and Spanish Republic
*   The Command & Control Mod by Checkyersix, version 3.031. This new version of this GREAT mod includes (among other things) a set of mission randomizers, that are used in the campaigns that comes with this update. This mod and more info on it can be found here: https://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/topic,26654.0.html
*   The Mortar & Infantry Mod also by Checkyersix, version 1.02, which gives you a firing mortar team plus two new types of firing infantry. This mod and more info on it can be found here: https://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/topic,9530.0.html
*   11 new ground columns: One with civilian vehicles, one with horse-drawn supply, one with cavalry and eight with infantry, trucks, horse-drawn artillery and tanks, one for each side and appropriate the era. This simple addition is my own work.
*   A variant of VP_medias SKINMOD, giving default skins more appropriate to the SCW to some of the stock stationary aircraft.
*   Zloy Petruskoy's Mod for more realistic AA artillery: for instance AA guns no longer can see through clouds, they can't see in the night without search lights, and it is now possible to "scare" the AA gunners by attacking so they stop shooting temporarily.
*   Zloy Petruskoy's Mod for more realistic Tank behaviour: for instance tanks can no longer can see through clouds, they can't see in the night without search lights, they shoot up to 1 meter above the ground, and it is now possible to stop the tanks gunners firing temporarily by attacking them - but they are not as easily scared as AA gunners!
*   Marcosts "No Radio" Mod: which simply means that there will be no radio communications heard at all. But if you WANT these radio communications simply disable by adding a "-" at the start of the folder name, thus: "-!!NO_Radio_chatter_1916_rv2". Or just delete the folder.
*   Airfield clutter by Tomoose: a loudspeaker and a map board.
*   Moving windsocks by Western 0221: yes, the windsocks now move with the wind!
*   Birds & Chimney Smokes effects by Stuka_40: very nice environmental Mod. Yes, you actually get to see flying birds!
*   Grass mod by Ranwers: if you look out of your cockpit there will be tufts of grass around you! At least on some maps.
*   A new standard sky texture by VP_media: we can't have enough of beautiful skies in this sim!
*   New ground objects from 4.12 by Team Daidalos: including larger camo nets, some olive trees and craters in 3d.
*   Higher Time compression mod by Checkyersix: now you can increase time compression x16.
*   Random ammo belt startup position by SAS team: so your fire doesn't seem to synchronized any more.

ADDITIONAL INFO: So what is the difference between this modpack and "IL-2 SCW"? Well, there is of course less content in "DBW 1936", but note that all the aircraft, ground units, new maps and new ships that you need to replay the Spanish Civil War in the air are still there . All my SCW campaigns works with "DBW 1936". (But all content connected to the Sino-Japanese War and the Winter War and the 30-ies in general, can only be found in "IL-2 SCW".)

Thanks for looking! :)

Thank you very much !

That looks very interesting !

Personnally, I would dream about a more complete 1936 pack, including not only the SCW, but also the 2 other important conflicts of the era : the Chaco War and the Sino-Japanese War (and even maybe the Winter War...). A single pack combining these 3 conflicts would be the ultimate for a 1936 DBW pack !

Gaston,

that will be a tad difficult, as I want to keep within the 250MB maximum file size of Mission4today, where I host my campaigns and mod packs. An especially if you consider the very large number of new aircraft connected to the Sino-Japanese War that we now can happily enjoy, thanks to modders like Gio963otto.

For the Chaco War there is already the "Chaco War Mod Pack": http://www.mission4today.com/index.php?name=Downloads3&file=details&id=2025

And for the Sino-Japanese War and the Winter War AND the Spanish Civil War there is of course "IL-2 SCW", which gives you the entire inter-war period, but you probably know that already  ;) http://www.mission4today.com/index.php?name=Downloads3&c=159

All the best
