I've added the fin extension from P-47D-40 of Jugs Reloaded unto stock P-47D (late). It uses the existing P-47D slot, so no ini entry is provided.


As for why am I doing this, when we already have P-47D-40? Part of the reason is that P-47D-27 and P-47D (late) are "too similar" (the latter almost seems redundant), so I tried to make them look "different". But specifically, I'm trying to create the "typical" Thunderbolt that saw service in Latin America: P-47D-25~30 that were partially retrofitted to D-40 standard. That is, despite having fin extensions, most of them lacked airbrakes and 5" HVAR rocket racks, some even lacked K-14 gyro gunsight.

Note: for the full version to work, you must have Jugs Reloaded installed. Drop the content into Jugs Reloaded pack (replacing the P-47D folders), then replace the default class file with the one provided, and it will simulate the improved stability provided by the fin extension.

The simplified version is a mere visual mod of the stock P-47D Late, and does not require the installation of Jugs Reloaded. You simply drop its content into your MOD folder, and it will add the fin extension to the stock P-47D Late (without changing its flight dynamic).

A simplified version has been added, it doesn't require the installation of Jugs Reloaded; however, it does not change the flight dynamic of the aircraft, as it only provides visual enhancement by adding the fin extension.


And boy am I having some difficulties with my own work...
The fin extension visual mod works well in US colors:

As well as with most foreign operators.

However, I can not get it to show up in British (& most Commonwealth) colors.

Any idea what might be causing this? Thanks in advance for any suggestion.
