French Wings over Kuwait - Historical notes
I had once planned to add some scrap-built models modified from other designers' works, in order to have the French jets present over Kuwait in 1991 flyable in the Operation Desert Storm mod, where I miss them badly. Having now given up for a while, and not planning to keep on the WIP in a close future, I deposit here some of the documentation I had gathered, and above all the historical booklet I had prepared by synthesizing several articles brightened up by chosen pictures. The main source is my packed translation of a set of "warm" articles, published in March 1991 in a fine French military magazine. I still hope that this work could encourage some modders to keep on the work about the Jaguar A and other concerned aircraft.

Boultan-Paul Defiant Pilot's Notes
By Bandy
As the title says, here are the historic pilot's notes for the Boultan-Paul Defiant. I uploaded the Spitfire IIa & IIb Pilot's notes much early [http://combatace.com/files/file/4938-historic-pilots-notes-for-spitfire-iia-iib/], and always meant to get around to hitting all the BoB aircraft. Looking forward to CoD... Enjoy!

Unicode -> Ansi file batch converter
By Canadair
An apparent incompatibility between SF2 and SF1 is that the in series two mods often there are files (.ini) encoded with Unicode format.
A common occurrence when downgrading a mod from SF2 to SF1 is therefore having to convert (save as..) a big amount of .ini files from Unicode to Ansi, a procedure which is time consuming and annoying.
Included is a one-click system to convert any amount of files from Unicode to Ansi.
It can be very useful when downgrading mods form SF2 -> SF1 series
Installation:
Simply unpack and store in your HD root the directories Files_Ansi and Files_unicode. By default I am using this path: C:\converter\files_unicode (you might want to change it accordingly to your needs by modifying ansioso.bat
Use:
Make backups of files.
A-From the folder where they belong, copy in the Files_unicode folder the files (mostly they will be .ini) that you want to convert.
B_run ansioso.bat
C-In the directory Files_Ansi you should have the files with the same name but converted to ANSI format
D-Copy them back where they belong, allowing overwrite
NOTE: Ansioso.bat and stringconverter.exe MUST stay in the same folder.
Also, files'names will stay the same. B careful in copying and moving them from folder to folder.
Discaimer
I downloaded stringconverter.exe from a freeware website. I haven't programmed it , all the merits go to unknown programmer. In the same forum I ve found the batch file which I adpated to the specific needs.

Tradução Le Missionneur - Brasil - Portuguese
By flaviodutra
Galera....... espero que possa ajudar na tradução do Lemissioner.......
A instalação é bem simples pois é so colocar o aquivo Brasil.dll na pasta ..\Langues do "Le missioner" e carregar.......
====================================================================================================
Adicionei umas imagens contendo um gráfico de uma rosa dos ventos com as coordenadas para facilitar a localização e a direção dos veículos durante o jogo, pois toda vez que ia fazer uma missão sempre meu avião iniciava sempre na direção errada... hehehehehe......
Apesar de ter muita gente que somente faz download no forum e critica o nosso esforço dizendo que os arquivos não funcionam e nem ajudam com sugestões, e que na maioria da vezes não fazem um pequeno esforço de prestarem um pouco de atenção nas instruções e tentarem quebrar um pouco a cabeça pensando em como o WOI funciona, a gente ainda assim contribui com o forum..... desculpem a sinceridade mas obrigado pelo desabafo...

I added some images containing a graph of a rose of the winds with the coordinates to facilitate the location and the direction of the vehicles during the game, because every time that will make a mission my airplane it always began always in the wrong direction. . . hehehehehe. . . . . .
In spite of having a lot of people that only makes download in the forum and it criticizes our effort saying that the files do
n't work and nor they help with suggestions, and that in most of the times don't make a small effort of they render some attention in the instructions and they try to break a little the head thinking in like WOI it works, we nevertheless contribute with the forum. . . . . excuse the honesty but thank you for the relief. . .

Min Max extents
By SUICIDAL
Original readme file by Vernon
Installation
Note only tested on max9 but “should” work apparently on the earlier versions
Before you run max
Copy the script to your “3dSmax\scripts” directory
Run max
Go Menu > Maxscript > Run Script
Navigate (if you need to) to the “3dSmax\scripts” Directory and select minmaxextents.mcr
Nothing will happen ;-)
Go menu > Customize > Customize user interface
Under either the Keyboard OR the Toolbar Tab…
Select Utilities from the Category Dropdown
Assign the (hopefully visible) “Min Max Extents” script to either a keyboard shortcut or drag the icon up on to a toolbar
Phew…
Use
With a model open, run the script and it will prompt you for a text file name to save the output to
Once its finished it “should” open notepad for you to copy/paste the output into your data.ini
Otherwise just open the saved file in any text editor for the same result

CatPack Archiving utility
By gerwin
CatPack - Archiving utility for Third-Wire CAT format, GB 17-07-2011.
V1.22, Freeware, Use at your own risk, files limit is set at 8000.
Packs all files in current folder to CatPack.cat except CatPack.exe/CatPack.cat.
Unpacks any cat file you drop on the icon to a folder with the archive's name.
You can press Ctrl+Break to interrupt and close the program, but it will leave
files unfinished when doing so.
UPDATE:
CatPack V1.1 will extract contents of the new Strike Fighters 2 Cat (no 2) archives.
The Display will tell the Cat version to be 2, instead of 1.
Subfolder information contained in version 2 archives will be restored properly.
The unicode filenames in the version 2 archives are converted back to ASCII,
therefor actual unicode-only characters in filenames will not be restored.
Catpack does not yet support creating a version 2 Cat archive. Maybe later.
CatPack V1.11 works properly when Cat files are in folders that have their
'archive' flag set. This seems to be the case with the SF2 objects folder.
CatPack V1.12 has some additional features when extracting a Cat archive:
First it automatically creates an index file of the Cat file.
Second and it allows one to optionally pass a wildcard string, only files matching
this wildcard string will be extracted from the archive. For example "mig" will
only extract files that have "mig" in their name or extension.
CatPack V1.22 Supports extracting a slightly new Cat format (no 3) as introduced
between May and July 2011. Yet the compressed format that was also introduced
is not supported.
As SF2 since that time does not recognize version 1 cat archives, support for
creating version 2 and 3 was added. Though without packing subfolders. For now it
is recommended to just use format 2.

Cockpit Photo Addon for the ThirdWire Series
By FastCargo
Version 1.0
This mod will allow you to add a personalized photo attached with a piece of tape to just about any cockpit.
Things you will need:
1. Any version of a ThirdWire sim patched to Oct 08 or newer.
2. A graphics editing program (Gimp, Paint.net, Adobe Photoshop, etc) that can work with .bmp files.
3. (Optional) CAT Extractor, located here: http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?autoc...mp;showfile=343
*********************CAUTION CAUTION CAUTION*********************************
This mod will change how the cockpit interacts with the external model. You may need to do multiple adjustments depending on how they relate to each other. If you are NOT willing to be ready to do this, DO NOT install this mod.
The technique used is similiar to what was done in this thread (and can have the same pitfalls): http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?showtopic=32148
*********************CAUTION CAUTION CAUTION*********************************
Notes:
This still relies on the FE Open Cockpit method to make outside parts visible inside the cockpit.
The 'photo' will be visible externally as well, but only for a very short distance...in other words, you won't see it outside unless you're very close up.
Questions? Contact me at CombatAce.

FakePilot addon for pilot method of addon parts
By FastCargo
Version 1.0
Thanks to JimmyBib for the original suggestion.
This is a mod to help add 'parts' to aircraft using the pilot method.
What this does is solve the problem of add-on parts 'disappearing' when an aircraft is a static display. Instead, you must add the parts as ejection seats, so you need a pilot model. However, normally you would have to find a way to make the pilot hidden from view. This file solves that problem.
It's a 0.1 meter box that is totally clear, so it can be mounted anywhere. In addition, the polycount is minimal, so your frame rates won't be affected.
Instructions:
1. Copy the Fakepilot.LOD and CompletelyClear.TGA to your Objects/Aircraft directory.
That's it. It's now ready to be used for any 'addon' parts you decide to add.
Instructions on how to add external parts to an aircraft.
Basically, we are going to make a new new pilot position, with your 'addon' part as the ejection seat.
An example from the A-4L_data.ini.
First, determine what you want to call the new mounting area...for the A-4L, I decided to call it the AvionicsHump
Second, add this line (as an example) to a component section (Nose, Fuselage, etc): SystemName[XXX]=AvionicsHump
Now, go to the Pilot section and add the following:
[AvionicsHump]
SystemType=PILOT_COCKPIT <---- Will always be this
PilotModelName=FakePilot <----- Will always be this name
Position=0,0,0 <----- Doesn't matter where...it's a clear box
SeatModelName=A4LAH <---- Model name of the pylon/hump/canard
SeatPosition=0.0,3.82,0.825 <---- Coordinates where you want it to show
SeatID=2 <---- Used to determine which pilot model 'disappears' when in cockpit view. Make sure it's something other than SeatID=1
Save the new data.ini.
Make sure the LOD of your hump/pylon/canards is in the Objects/Aircraft directory.
That's it.
Advantages of this technique:
Idiot proof...you can't unselect them, you can't jettison them, they will ALWAYS load with your aircraft.
Don't need to make weapondata.ini entries (no fake weapons).
As a bonus, no other aircraft could use them either.

USN BuNums, 1910-1995
By Wrench
Bureau Numbers for US Navy Aircraft
A pdf file - make sure you have the latest version of Adobe Acrobat!!!
I came across this little file while doing research for the F7U Cutlass, and was asked to share this with the community. Unfortunately, I don't remember what site I found it on, so I can't give the Author proper credits.
I found this file extreamly helpful in creating those pesky little decals that go on the aircraft tail.
The major portion is broken down into number groupgs, NOT by aircraft, so you'll have to hunt around for the proper bird; if you're working off a profile or photo for you skin/decals, you should be able to scroll down to the 'approximate' section to find the serial number (ie: BuNum) you're looking for.
I'm placing this in the "Utilities/Editor" section, as I have NO real idea where it should go!!!
Enjoy!
