Tappedops 18 Posted May 20, 2016 Ive been messing with the loach and im impressed---the sing-miss recons are cool but the poo would be a campaign of sorts---any takers or how hard would it be? Thanks all... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

+Nyghtfall 2,154 Posted May 20, 2016 I guess, he wants to say, that he likes flying recon-missions with the OH-6 (Loach/Little Bird) helicopters and asks if there's a dedicated campaign for it. :) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+76.IAP-Blackbird 3,557 Posted May 20, 2016 (edited) Wow, what translator told you that result From the context, I would say yes.. you are right, but i dont read it in his post Edited May 20, 2016 by 76.IAP-Blackbird 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tappedops 18 Posted May 20, 2016 Sorry Guys...Nyghtfall nailed it...he likes flying recon-missions with the OH-6 (Loach/Little Bird) helicopters and asks if there's a dedicated campaign for it. :)... I put Yakarov79s, OH-6A Loaches in NAM 1.25 in my Nam mod folder. Ive flown a few heli sims in my time---and this ship stands up to anything in its time---impressive. I understand theres fuel restrictions/ distance, and mission types problems...but if these helis can be plug and play in single mission---which is amazing, im sure a campaign is possible... And yes I do understand how difficult mission building is---I have trouble enough plugging a ship into a campaign... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+allenjb42 4,234 Posted May 20, 2016 Have you considered buying the Campaign Customiser from the TW store? https://store.thirdwire.com/store_dlc.htm Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tappedops 18 Posted May 21, 2016 Don't think helis will be supported...too many variables... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Eole 1,032 Posted May 21, 2016 (edited) Don't think helis will be supported...too many variables... They will but I saw another problem If you open your AH-6F_LittleBird_DATA.INI file from your AH-6F_LittleBird Folder you will see ServiceStartYear=1984 ServiceEndYear=1989 That does'nt really match with the Vietnam War period (1964-1975) Edited May 21, 2016 by Eole Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tappedops 18 Posted May 21, 2016 Thats odd...as a not-smart-enough-to-mod-anything, im not sure what that effects... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+allenjb42 4,234 Posted May 21, 2016 But the OH-6A should be fine for flying in a 'Nam campaign though and you could add the AH-6F to a more modern campaign. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tappedops 18 Posted May 21, 2016 Allen...you make it sound like the ship could fly in the nam campaign---how would this be possible---should I try plugging the heli into a nam campaign? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+allenjb42 4,234 Posted May 22, 2016 I'm no expert and have never done it before, but like I said you could buy the Campaign Customizer or have a look in the Knowledgebase. http://combatace.com/topic/44798-adding-aircraft-to-campaigns-in-sf2/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tappedops 18 Posted May 22, 2016 Yes Allen ive done this ship replacement before---its a bit tricky, and requires some concentration...but is in fact doable. So with out being able to write a light-recon type campaign for the LBird... I might try to plug the Apache into an existing campaign and test it there... Modders could probably write a camp for both helis in a few hours---and I aint no modder lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Eole 1,032 Posted May 22, 2016 (edited) Tappedos give it a try Yakarov OH-6A Loach - 1972 Campaign 1972-Loach_Campaign.7z Oups I missed something go to your Campaign\EasterOffensive2 folder open the EasterOffensive2.INI file [CampaignData]CampaignName=1972-0332 Easter Offensive (+Little Bird)DataFile=EasterOffensive2_DATA.INICampaignMap=SouthVietnamService001=USAFService002=USNService003=USMCService004=USA // Add this Save or Re-install this 1972-Loach_Campaign_Fixed.7z And you will get this Edited May 22, 2016 by Eole 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tappedops 18 Posted May 22, 2016 (edited) Ive got no 11-acr thunderhorse to choose...im missing something im guessing---when I pack what units are there, I freeze or CTD... FYI---the folder im running out of only has SF2/VN___only Edited May 22, 2016 by Tappedops Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tappedops 18 Posted May 22, 2016 (edited) Ok got 11-ACR as a choice but still CTDing... hmmm im seeing 11-ACR... with no thunderhorse after it ... Edited May 22, 2016 by Tappedops Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Eole 1,032 Posted May 22, 2016 (edited) ok did you have your OH-6A properly installed ? If not sure about it below the download link http://combatace.com/files/go/008bd35455b15cba5e70f0ee86e49f4d/oh-6a-loaches-in-nam Don't forget the fix Then open the OH-6A.rar file drag & drop all the content at the root of your mod Folder ( ex : C:\Users\Eole\Saved Games\ThirdWire\StrikeFighters2 Vietnam) open the fix for it OH-6A_FIX.rar ( the 2 files OH-6A_LOACH.INI & OH-6A_LOACH.lod must go in your Aircraft\OH-6A_Loach folder That's all Edited May 22, 2016 by Eole Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Eole 1,032 Posted May 22, 2016 (edited) I crash sometimes too when launching the campaign I duno why ( perhaps a problem with some airbase) But if I succeed in the campaign creation I can go flying Edited May 22, 2016 by Eole Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tappedops 18 Posted May 22, 2016 just noticed the squadron list thing...ill try to paste it up and renumber it correctly Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tappedops 18 Posted May 27, 2016 First of all --A big Thanks to Eole for going to the trouble of putting a Loach camp together for me. unfortunately I cant get it to work in my folder as is, probably because im missing something. (BTW Eole, what is merged in your main game folder...if you can post a pic---I could try to copy it and see if that's the problem...Thanks Again I was able to place the loach(1st/9th) into KJakkers highly *Classified* Rolling Thunder Expanded/Edited campaign and its working great so far and I will keep flying this for now... this is not to say that im giving up on Eoles campaign...but after trouble shooting for 3 days I just need rest. Thanks to everyone who has helped me... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
