Mustang Mk III 112 Sqd. Version 2.0, 1-12-02


This Mustang MkIII represents the mount of Flt. Lt. Raymond V. Hearn, No.112  Squadron, Fano, Italy, during Febuary 1945. Hearn flew two tours with No.112 Sqn on Kittyhawks and Mustangs. He was the leader of B Flight and used the individual letter "Q"  on his aircraft. He downed a Ju 188 in this machine on 9 September 1944, even though only one of his four guns was working. He was killed on what would have been his last sortie, on 18 February 1945, his plane exploding after being hit by flak. The letter "Q" was not used again as a mark of respect.

This Version 2.0 updates this skin based on the 3d alterations of Captain Kurt. This skin also makes use of the 3d editing talents of George Lekko and Claudio Wilches. George is responsible for modifying the PAW skin to bring it up to EAW standards. Claudio is responsible for the cockpit wingview that allows the RAF style camoflage to be possible. Without either of these two Gentlemen, this skin would not be possible. My thanks to both of them for making this possible. 

This modification is to be used in conjunction with Charles Gunst ECA panel 3.3 and higher. Be sure to use the Mustang Mk III setting in order to have the proper RAF communications in-game. Another important point: be sure to use the Pp51btra.tpc file that comes with this modification. It has been modified to allow the RAF roundels to show on both wings. Also be sure to delete this file when changing skins or the new image will not be displayed properly. You must also use the Pmus3v.tpc file to get the correct cockpit wing view, (along with the usual cockpit files, Pp51bv.tpc, Pp51bx.tpc, and Pp51bvtr.tpc). When changing to a new skin, simply delete these files prior to loading the new files to avoid image display problems.

Enjoy!
