Replacement pack for late war Luftwaffe fighter generic skins for BoBP and BoN - update to V3.0

[Boelcke]

Hi there,

a skin pack for the late war Luftwaffe fighter generic skins in BoP, to replace the vanilla skins for

 

Bf109G-6,

Bf109G-6late,

Bf109G-14,

Bf109K-4,

Fw190A-8 and

Fw190D-9.

 

So what´s the idea?

 

In the last year of the war Luftwaffe changed the camo schemes form the three tone grey into more and more dark green and brown colours. I have made four packs with the different colour schemes.

- autumn 1944
- winter 1945
- spring 1945
- the last days

 

The folowing picture shows the different paintings for the Fw190D-9 as an example:

 

 

You can choose the ONE of your choice or if you go through the vanilla BoP campaign, you can choose first the pack for autumn, later on the pack for winter and so on. You can only activate one pack at a time, deactivate first the old pack and then activate the new one.

 

How to install?

 

You will need a Mods folder and the generic mod enabler.

 

Unzip the file into your MODS folder and you will have four packs like this:

 

 

Activate the one you like and start a mission/campaign.

That’s a very nice addition, I’ll have to install JGME.

 

Can we add tactical markings to the D-9? Last time I checked that was not possible.

[Boelcke]

No, that´s not possible in Il2 BoX. In Il2 1946 the game added to every generic skin a tactical number or letters, a feature i realy miss now.

That's annoying. Since we can do with USAAF and RAF I presume that Luftwaffe should not be too hard? Range of unit markings plus numbers or letters or symbols in 5 colours. Fairly simple in the grand scheme of things.

[Boelcke]

Would be nice if people who are using this pack can post some screenshots here, to show what´s included.

 

There are to much planes included that it was possible for me to do screenshots from all planes.

[Boelcke]

Want to update this pack with more skins for the Me262 and for the BoN map.

 

Problem is that the early Bf109G6 skin isn´t working on the Normandy map - couldn´t figure out why or how.

 

Any sugestions for other planes to include? I can do some generics for the Ju88A4 and C6 also, but does it make sense, does anybody use these planes in the campaigns?

[Boelcke]

Updated the pack to version 2.0:

 

- Added a pack for BoN with skins for Bf109 G-6 and Bf109G-6 late, Fw190A-6 and A-8, Ju88 A4 and Me410 Skins

 

Spoiler

 

- Added Me 262 skins to the older BoP packs
- Corrected some small bugs and glitches

 

known issues:

 

On the Normandy map the BF109G-6 early doesn´t work for AI planes, i don´t know why, it still works on the Rheinland map

 

 

 

delete the old pack and unzip the new V2 pack into your MODS folder

 

dl link is still the same from post #1

I re-downloaded V.3 to verify the Bf-109G6Late skin.  It appears to be the same.  It has the MW-50 decal directly on the main fuselage skin.  The default skin has it higher up, which I guess is a panel that gets swapped out when you select MW-50.  Right now, selecting MW-50 and the decal disappears.  Un-selecting MW-50 and the decal appears.  So it's working backwards. l think that's because the higher panel is supposed to be the MW-50 decal, and instead it's a blank gray panel and the decal is on the main skin panel.

[Boelcke]

you´re right, this MW 50 stencil is driving me nuts ...

 

will correct it, when i have time, so thx for your feedback, i did had the impression that there is not much interest in this package
