509th FS P-47D-26-RA

"Lizzy" Republic P-47D-30-RE 44-20456 flown by Capt. Les Leavoy

This aircraft piloted by 1LT. Ernie Sprouse was aircraft "Q" Serial number 44-20246 from the 512th Fighter Squadron as it would of appeared when the squadron was assigned to Nordholz, Germany, c. 1945.  I am told when then 2LT. Ernie Sprouse received this aircraft "Texas Kay" was already painted on the right cowling.  A "payment" of 2 bottles of whiskey ensured "Gladys" would soon appear on the left cowling.  This livery was done by special request for a friend of the now late Ernie Sprouse.  I can only hope I did his aircraft justice.  Enjoy!  

Compatible with both early and late model P-47s!

"Snafu / War Eagle" was flown in the 83rd FS, 78th FG. by Lt. Severino B. Calderon during late 1944. It has now since been restored and is part of The Fighter Collection at Duxford Aerodrome.
This livery was originally for the P-47G Razorback, but I liked it that much I thought I'd give it a go for the "D" model. Enjoy!

Republic P-47M-1 Thunderbolt 421108:HV-Z bar of the 61st Fighter Squadron, 56th Fighter Group 8th Air Force based at RAF Boxted early 1945.

*UPDATE: 28/02/2021*. After long research, I've found some very fascinating comments over the internet from Witold Lanowski's son about his father's Thunderbolt so I could adjust a lot of things that were incorrect on my skin. The most important thing added to the model was the lucky horseshoe Lanowski had fixed to the fuselage close to his canopy. It was a real horseshoe, so I've added it to the normal map to give it some depth.

P-47D-30 'Hun Hunter XVI' flown by Lt Col.Gilbert O. Wymond Jr 65th Fighter Squadron.

A "historic" multiplayer mission set on the Normandy 2 map. Requires WWII asset pack.

Some creative liberties have been taken to get a good dynamic mission. This means that the mission is not completely historically accurate.

The mission can be flown as singleplayer (Ford 1) or multiplayer (up to 24 slots) The mission will automatically adapt to the number of players participating but ideal number is 4 or more.

Playable modules: P-51D, P-47D, Spitfire & Mosquito.

Due to the fact that there are no winter scenery on the Normandy 2 map the weather is set to foggy.  

Please leave a comment if you have any questions

Mission file, PPT-briefing and a multiplayer sign-up sheet can be found in the .zip file.

The mission was originally created for the Swedish Flight Sim Community "NOSIG"

Here's my new Helios profile for the P-47D Thunderbolt. Enjoy!

<LAST UPDATE> 29/03/2024

A pretty heavy open sandbox training mission on the South Atlantic map. There are no threats.
Modules Required - Supercarrier, (any of the modules you want to train in of course :D )

6 Ranges to choose from, Sheffield, Ardent, Antelope, Coventry, Conveyor and Galahad for Ground Attack, Air to Air, Anti Ship, HARM / Radar and Runway busting.
A rescue mission scenario activated via the radio menu.

"Ambient Spawns" - I don't like being the only one taking off so I've added AI that spawn when you do around the base and on the carrier.

A large carrier battlegroup with busy (but still functional) Carrier decks, including the Supercarrier GW, HMS Invincible and Tarawa.
Airbase populated with Statics and ambient units.

Tankers and AWACS available.
Smoke on targets and Air to Air "drones" available via the Radio menu

There is only one mission file included which contains both hot and cold spawns.
