Strike Fighters by Thirdwire

Firstly: This file does not contain an aircraft. Rather it's a tweak made to the existing Third Wire A-10A and A-10A_78, both of which are part of the default planeset that ships with Strike Fighters 2 Europe. I've uploaded it here, because there wasn't a subsection set up specifically for aircraft .ini tweaks Anyway......
 
SF2E A-10 Tweaks
 
by Fubar512
 
Installation: Simply drop the aircraft data files into their matching-named folders.
 
In Windows XP, the folder path would be:
 
My Documents/ThirdWire/StrikeFighters2x/Objects/Aircraft.
 
 
In Windows Vista or Windows 7, the path is:
 
Documents/<User Name>/Saved Games/ThirdWire/StrikeFighters2x/Objects/Aircraft.
 
Now that you have some idea as to SF2's file path, you can go onto the next step.....and that's to drop the included A10Engine.wav into the ThirdWire/StrikeFighters2x/Sounds folder. If you don't have one, don't panic, just create one, following the path statement above.
 
To uninstall: just delete the A-10A_Data.ini, and the A-10A_78_Data.ini, and the game will revert to using the TW default.

BAE Hawk T-1A for SF2
 
This is Russouk2002's BAE Hawk T-1A. It has been updated to SF2 file structure based completley on his work.I have also added the Hawk gunpod made by Russouk2002 to its store of weapons, updated its list of usable weapons, and have updated the file structure for its skin decals. The plane has very basic avionics with no radar but a ranging gunsight, but I have added an audio RWR. This required the addition of its own avionics.ini file. A loading screen and a userlist.ini have also been included. A missing cockpit file was replaced and un-needed files removed. The shadow format has been updated too.
 
Any errors in all this is un-intentional. Please let me know of any problems or needed corrections. Keep in mind this is freeware made by your community for your use. You use it at your own risk. It is un-supported by TK and Thirdwire productions and is released under the CombatAce freeware licensing agreement. Do not use in any kind of payware without express permission from the owner of these files, namely Russouk2002.
 
Issues: Just two that I know of...
1.) The shadow has the long artifact to the ground at certain view angles. Just disable the shadow by reming out the lines in the Hawk T1A.ini like this...
///[shadow]
CastShadow=TRUE
ShadowCastDist=10000
MaxVisibleDistance=400
2.) There are no drop tanks for the Hawk that I can find.

SF2 updates pcpilot
 
 
To install, Just simply open the zip file and copy paste into your SF2 mods folder. It will use the stock pilot in the game. Weapons and drop tanks are all working to my knowledge. It flies well in-game so have fun.
 
God bless, pcpilot
