This is in accordance with the Skies of Fire modpack/site:
( http://www.skiesoffire.org/ )
Here I asked for permission, since I did not get in contact with Loadstone, I took the general permission as ok:
http://www.skiesoffire.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=6289&e=0

To make sure, I will post again (had registered there only for asking for permission and even tonight re-buggered my old account..). If anyone has issues with this extracted mod, this post may be pulled. Then again, the content is already long gone into other packs such as HSFX...so nothing new here to the best of my knowledge and I contacted everyone I could get.


And I promised Deutschmark at AAS, where the Skies of Fire IL-2 modpack was posted as well already way long ago, when I release it, it would go over all 3 sites, SAS, AAS, and FM. So anyone at Free IL-2 Modding can grab this and post it there.
Maybe this time without any inter site comments for a change. 


All-Aircraft-Simulations:
Here was the source of the extraction of this mod.
http://www.allaircraftsimulations.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=106&t=28426&p=338215&hilit=Skies+Of+Fire#p338215


And...since IES3 is out and I am a former HistoMod team member, one version will go directly to lebig via pm for him to include it.
And for my friends at SAS, feel free to grab and modify this, as long as you credit the original site, Skies of Fire, there Lodestone...and not me.


Credits, quoted from AAS:
Lodestone (Skies of Fire) aka RkSq=Lodebeard
Fireball
Stuka
Waggle
Of course also HSFX and Oleg...


All I did is renaming of P-38J and L folders as needed for several modpacks.
Bugs may be:
-On some game versions spinners too big.
-Not all variants covered, you can do this via try and test to get other, non covered late P-38 versions.
-This is only for P-38Js and P-38Ls.


For now this is only for 3Ds outside. Even compatible with the opening canopy versions.



Download link, take your pick and if a version is missing, feel free to fumble with the 3Do folder naming.

Tested it in a way at least one L and J version per modded game loads this improved 3D.

Bugs possible....this is and will continue to be a WIP! It was never perfect, but looks much better IMHO than the default P-38 J and L 3D.

No edits on my side planned, as I am a map guy, not a 3D guy.



The IES version, finished this week, goes directly to
http://escadre-ms.vraiforum.com/index.php and lebig.


Some screens
...next post. ...let me see if I can find some in my photo account..

PS:
I  told the chaps at Skies of Fire (after getting permission) in my last post, if any issue arises I will pull the link at SAS and I do hope the same for All Aircraft Simulations and FM and IES3. The mod is already in HSFX for years, but it is the first time it was put in subfolders compatible for modpacks from 4.09m to 4.12. And Loadstone or Skies of Fire have the final word here, if they want it pulled, I pull it at SAS. So far all seems well.

Thanks Skies of Fire, Loadstone and all chaps I forgot.

P.P.S.:
I would not risk trouble for this mod as of this time, the F-84 has surpassed the Lightning in terms of my fav IL-2 well done modded plane. Thanks to Flakiten and PA_Jeronimo.

PS: !

Since I am fitted with the rare ability to self reflect, of course I am aware that the amount of "make safe" and "credit" "etc." comments, which roughly make 99% of the above post, is overdone.
I tend to push such stances over the top, and IMO it is a sad testament for the state of modded IL-2 that I felt urged to add such extended extra notes in the first place. If anyone has an issue with that combo, come here and speak to admins.
If anyone wants to repack it, as far as I can see, if it helps IL-2, why not.

May the future see less ridiculous times for IL-2 modding sites like SAS, AAS, FM etc., where a simple "it was made by modder x", "many thanks", here is a repack for different modpacks, is all anyone ever can ask for.
Thank you Skies Of Fire/Skies of Valor.
 
Cheers

Yes, but not the one you linked.

If you check my post, this gives new engines and nose sections to P-38J/Ls only and makes these sections look much better.

Be advised, lebig told me after receiving a test version, the new aka SKies Of Fire versions may override newer even better tires and dedicated pilots and be not compatible with the opening canopies in their pack. So each user use at own discretion..I use them in UP 2.01, HSFX 4.1 and MA 5.3.  I do not fly Lightnings in IES.  


Thanks Istvan, glad you can use it.

Cheers

Adapted to my SaS P-38 collection v1.1 (4.09). 

All aircrafts are OK (after some adjustments), except the P-38J-10-15-LO(Multi1) (so I kept the multi1 from SaS). But I can live with it.

Thank you very much !! 

All the best.
