Hi Folks,
My first experiment with modding IL2 COD. This mod will change the armament and engine of the default rotol hurricane I to 4xHispano 20mm cannons plus an uprated Merlin XX (1185HP). The mesh remains the standard MK I for now while I work out how to add the cannon barrels. The result is an aircraft which will shred any and all bombers very promptly.
*Health Warning*
Clearly, the use of such a mod will be considered as cheating by VAC. DO NOT use this mod online otherwise you will risk loosing your entire Steam account and all attached purchases. Just in case, I personally have two purchases of IL2 COD associated with 2 separate valve accounts - I use my main account for un-modded IL2 cod online plus all my other games and use the secondary account for IL2 cod mods just in case there is a misunderstanding. Please be careful not to go online accidentally with this mod enabled - you have been warned!
*Installation Instructions*
1. As with all other mods, please download and install sfsMod v1.1 (
http://junk.kegetys.net/il2cod_sfsmod11.zip and follow the readme)
2. Download the attached hurriCannon.zip and unpack into your IL2 COD installation folder (~somewhere\il2 sturmovik cliffs of dover).
3. Create a new shortcut which executes "~somewhere\il2 sturmovik cliffs of dover\Launcher.exe -mod=hurriCannon
*Usage*
Once successfully installed and activated, you should see in the QMB/FMB a new aircraft called Hurricane MKIIC. Select this aircraft and enjoy - the default convergence is set to 200 yards. Note that while this armament is incredibly powerful, rate of fire and the number of rounds is limited. Nevertheless I find that this aircraft can make very quick work of anything else with a quick burst.
Enjoy!
Dave.
