Dhimari AF squadrons added if any of you all want to use this for decalling. i've got them from 881 thru 899 and plenty of space holders from stock to the start of non stock so every new patch won't jack it too badly (other than seeing who from mine TK added and who has to be added to stock). gotta correct the dislpaynames from mine to what Spinners has in his mod as thats what i based it off of but not doing that for awhile probably. hope this is useful.

How about using normal digits with Dhimari aircraft decals and Arabic ones with Parani aircraft?

Hmmm... can be done. All designs are now with arabic numbers, but decals can be exchanged fast. :smile:

My system is to give them 4-digit numbers. For example: 0900. 09 - 9th SQN, 00 - individual aircraft number

Can you guys upload Dhimari and Parani Service Marlings Decals along with their units? They will be available for modding and re-skinning purposes and give greater depth to the campaign missions. Appreciate your work!

BTW guys, althoug i am playing SF1 Project 1 for years and currently have SF2 and SF2I merged, I am quite a newbie on adding textures and mods. Can you help me on making Paran and Dhimar air forces available in campaign creator?

I tried editing nations.ini in Flight folder in c\program files(x86)\thridwire\striktefighters2\ but that did not change anything and parani-dhimari air forces are still unavailable

c\program files(x86)\thridwire\striktefighters2

 

THAT Is the wrong location. NEVER TOUCH NOTHNG IN THE CORE FILES!!!

 

Dhimar and Paran are NOT listed in the game's Nations.ini. They only exist in the Desert_Nations.ini, located in the Desert.cat. The game automatically reads that for the Desert stuff.

 

like Cocas said, use Baff's Desert Plus

Warbie, here is the trick for making Dhimar and Paran playable in campaigns. It requires editing the nations ini like so:

 

// Oman 65-70
[Nation212]
Name=Oman_OLD65//......................Last entry in the stock nations ini.

[Nation213]
[Nation214]
Etc.
Etc.
Etc.
[Nation252]
[Nation253]
[Nation254]
[Nation255]

[Nation256]
Name=Dhimar
DisplayName=Dhimari Air Force
Alignment=FRIENDLY
PilotNameList=NamesArabic.lst
RankList=RanksRAF.lst
CallsignList=CallsignsUS.lst
Formation.Fighter=USFighter
Formation.Attack=USFighter
Formation.Bomber=USBomber
Formation.Transport=USBomber
Formation.Tank=USTank
Formation.MobileAD=USAD
PilotTrainingStandard=EXCELLENT
GenderRatio=0
DebriefSuccessMusic=DebriefSuccess.wav
DebriefFailMusic=DebriefFail.wav
DebriefKilledMusic=DebriefKilled.wav
SpeechFile=USAFSpeech.cat
SpeechTextFile=USAFSpeechText.str

[Nation257]
Name=Paran
DisplayName=Parani Air Force
Alignment=ENEMY
PilotNameList=NamesArabic.lst
RankList=RanksRAF.lst
CallsignList=CallsignsUS.lst
Formation.Fighter=SovietFighter
Formation.Attack=SovietFighter
Formation.Bomber=SovietBomber
Formation.Transport=SovietBomber
Formation.Tank=SovietTank
Formation.MobileAD=SovietAD
PilotTrainingStandard=EXCELLENT
GenderRatio=0
DebriefSuccessMusic=DebriefSuccess.wav
DebriefFailMusic=DebriefFail.wav
DebriefKilledMusic=DebriefKilled.wav
SpeechFile=USAFSpeech.cat
SpeechTextFile=USAFSpeechText.str

 

To save you some trouble, attached is a modified nations ini built from ThirdWires latest version. Just unzip and drop it in the Flight folder.

      View File [Fictional] Dhimari Sud-Aviation Vautour IIA
      Sud-Aviation Vautour IIA 'Dhimar' for STRIKE FIGHTERS 2
      This is a simple mod of the stock 'AI' Third Wire Vautour IIA to give a flyable Dhimari Vautour with markings for;
      No.11 Squadron - 'The Rams'
      No.14 Squadron - 'The Buffaloes' (named after the squadron's first aircraft the Brewster F2A Buffalo).
      Whilst this mod is meant for Strike Fighters 2 it does require you to have Strike Fighters 2:Israel so that you have the necessary Third Wire Vautour LODs. Please also note that this revised upload switches to the Third Wire Gloster Meteor cockpit but you can easily switch to the cockpit of your choice such as the A-4B cockpit. 

      INSTRUCTIONS
      1. From the AIRCRAFT folder drag and drop the VautourIIA_Dh folder into your Aircraft folder.
      2. From the DECALS folder drag and drop the VautourIIA_Dh folder into your Decals folder.
      That's it!
