AW38 Whitley MkIII by UncleTgt

This is a conversion of Ted Cook's Whitley MkI for CFS 2. It is meant to represent the MkIIIs that were used on leaflet raids during the "Phoney War", & later used for training at OTUs & Parachute Schools. This is a complete aircraft.

The airfile was created by Peperez, & adopts the distinctive "nose-down" attitude in level flight.

The panel is a direct copy of Shessi's Whitley MkV panels, all I've done is to make it WIN 7 friendly.

The sound is aliased to the C-47 Dakota

The textures are:

77 squadron RAF, October 1939
KN-Q was shot down by light AA during a "Nickel" mission dropping leaflets over Germany mid-October 1939. It was 77 Squadron's first loss of the War.

Central Landing School Ringway Manchester 1941
The first GB Paratroops experimented with a variety of ways of exiting aircraft, & determined the least risky way was through the hole in the floor where the useless ventral turret used to be.

The dp includes exhaust effects, & several weapon loads.

Weapons used are:
Shessi's Leaflet weapon from his Whitley MkV.

Bismark13's 250lb bomb from his Beaufighter packages.

Jim Jacobsen's paratroops, resized & recompiled (20% smaller) so they fit inside the Whitley fuselage.

The leaflet & paratroop weapons are included in this pack.

To install, unzip the download to a temporary location & move/ copy files to the matching folder names inside your chosen CFS 2 install.

Thanks to

Ted Cook for a great aircraft, & his willingness to support converting them for use in CFS2.

Shessi for his work at bringing older models up to code, & inventing novel solutions so CFS2 can simulate such a wide range of combat operations.

Peperez for helping with the challenge of making a more accurate airfile.

Bismark13 for his 250lb bomb.

Jim Jacobsen for his innovative solution to the problem of depicting paratroops within CFS2.

Kelticheart for his exhaust effects, & inspiration for the propeller bitmaps.

This is freeware and subject to the usual conditions
