Gaston from Check-6 cut out and posted some planes from the last UI , including some P38s here https://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/topic,1514.0.html

In the meantime the AAA team (BBury/Gibbage/Monguse) made more P38s and these , plus the previous ones were taken up in HSFX/UP.

I have meant for some time to extract them and present them to manual installers, and here at last is my attempt.
I rewrote classfiles to eliminate unneeded classes, and to consolidate cockpit 3d use to stock cockpits, and consolidate 3d models to those needed for the mod to work. Removed desert default skins (which were copies of Summer default skins anyway). Re assembled Multi Slot E F G H comunal 3d model, so that it would display national markings. Had to make some small consessions to 3d model for that to work, nothing too dramatic though.
Result is, this collection is , uncompressed, about 61MB, whereas it would have been about 330MB at its current size. What you give up for this is some possible individualised defaults skins, but they were all duplicates of each other anyway, so, not realy a big loss.
I did all this to lighten this pack, and so to make its footprint on my drive smaller.

I also included my contrail fix into this already (not for the stock 38s, only for these.)

v1.1: Birdman fixed some serious skin problems, and also fixed some nagging LOD issues.S!

Only requirement is that you have to have SAS weapons classes, or at least this patch:
Guys who do not have SAS gunmods, here is a patch. This derives from the AAA weaponsmod. You will see it is very small and contains only classfiles. They have been fixed to now use universal sounds and effects, so, no conflicts.

As mentioned in the original thread, thanks to AAA for making the new planes available and to Gaston for going through the initial extraction.

FAQ: UP users dont need this (I think). No idea whats in HSFX, and yes, this replaces the ones from Gastons Extraction also.

I did not yet test this collection for a long time, so please report faults.

S!

EDIT: Since I removed the desert Skinfolder, it would have been cool if I also changed the "DESERT" in the air.ini to "SUMMER", but dont worry, this should not affect you at all.

Nice one! Been looking forward to this pack, and it doesn't disappoint!  Dankie baie! 

Cirx, just checking, you say the D/L should be about 59MB...when I try to D/L, it says it's 3.7MB....might want to check the upload out, mate... ???

[SAS~Malone]

yeah, i see it's all there....MAXIMUM compression! 

[SAS~CirX]

lol, yes I see where the confusion was, i added the word "uncompressed" to the section. My sinuses at the moment though, are not.

miskien kort jy 'n lekker 'hot-totty', brandewyn koffie, of so iets....

[Karaya]

Great stuf!!

Thanks a lot Cirx and of course all the fellows who worked on these sorely missed variants!

[FANATIC MODDER]

YES YES YES!

[Birdman]

Thanks a lot!!

Now I can easily see why the inner wings never get any bullet holes and why there are so many LOD issues.
There really aren't any damage materials used in the WingIn meshes, and the Msh converter LOD value bug is striking again.
Someone could fix those and make a fixed version. (Or should I take some time to fix those?) Luckily, there are now a lot less files to fix.

P.S. There are smoothed engines for stock late P-38s (and Beaufighter  ) available as a part of this modpack at AAA
http://allaircraftarcade.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=25790
Someone may like the smoothed 3d and adapt it also to these ones, but unfortunately there are some hier.him issues with divebrake hiding in wing and holes in tail.

[SAS~CirX]

Birdman, if you do the fixes I ll update the pack!

Edit: Got the fixes from Birdman, as well as 2 serious skin bugs he spotted. Since they were serious I stayed up and updated the mod immediately to v1.1. I suggest all redownload that one. S! to Birdman!

[max_thehitman]
