Catalog Files

[TeaAndScones 2]

I feel like a right scrub for asking, but how do you extract/open the .cat files in the Main SF2 instalation directory? I need to find the '*_DATA.ini' files for a few aircraft. It seems everyone can do it except me. :(

 

Thanks for the help.

from the 3rd Wire site. you need the cat extractor (should be in our download secetion too, under tools/utilities section. April 2012, methinks)

The only one you can't open (for security's and designs sake) is ObjectCAT002, as that has all the LODs for all the TW planes.

Cheers for the tip.

and as far as I can tell, all the terrain objects (lods for the various buildings used on terrains) and the ground object lods (tanks, ships, etc)
