P51Bs of the 4th FG 334th Fighter Squadron.
 
This mod is released to demonstrate the FLIGHT rendering method. This is the first mod distribution to utilize this approach.  FLIGHT utilizes the randomly assigned "killmarks" to create multiple skins within the same flight. This method only works with fighter aircraft. 

The model is based on The Flying Dutchman's P51B and is modified from his "Shangri La" skin. Minor changes were made to the 3D model.
 
No special mission script requirements or anything else. Just realize that each plane is rendered randomly, so you never know which aircraft you'll wind up in! Some history on these three historically accurate aircraft and their pilots:

P-51B 334th FS QP-D Sherman Lt. Robert S   "THE MIGHTY MITE"
Lost May 9, 1944 - Lt. Robert S Sherman POW

P-51B 334th FS QP-K France Capt. Victor J "Vic" creditied with 8.7 victories   "MISS DALLAS"
Lost April 18, 1944 – KIA while chasing a Me-109 at low level, his airplane struck the ground and exploded. 

P-51B 334th FS QP-Q Kolter Lt. Mark H "unnamed" with artwork of black cat 
Lost in this a/c May 30, 1944 - KIA 


One word of caution- this mod is not compatible with the P51.sqs utilized in the P51Dv2 mod. I recommend that you remove the P51.sqs file from your data folder (or hide it in a subfolder)and start with a clean ww2.sqs for this mod. 

Installation
------------
Before installing this, or any other, custom modification, you are advised to take a backup
your original ww2.sqs archive.  

Extract the contents of this archive to the WWII Fighters\Data directory.  Assuming the
default installation, this is: C:\Program Files\Jane's Combat Simulations\WWII Fighters\Data

The files will be extracted to a new directory WWII Fighters\Data\P51b_FLIGHT

Using Windows Explorer, navigate to the WWII Fighters\Data\P51b_FLIGHT directory.

This distribution includes high-resolution (512x512) textures ONLY.  Users whose video cards 
do not support high-resolution textures should NOT attempt to install this skin. Attempting to install high-resolution textures on a system with a video card which does not support them may cause the game to crash.

To install the skin, double-click on the install P51B_FLIGHT .bat icon.

This will open up a DOS session and the installation will proceed in this window.  When
the installation is complete, a message saying "DONE...CLOSE DOS SESSION" will be
displayed in the window.  Close the DOS session by clicking on the X close button in the
top right corner of the window.

Installation is now complete.

Enjoy, MEGA
