What happened to cockpits? Many of the aircraft have partial cockpits.See F-4B and A-7 below.

I looked in cockpit folders and they only contained radar scope and a few instruments. No Panels?

I used North Atlantic for base install. Will I have to retrieve cockpits from backup files?

Hello! Both these two cockpits are Third Wire SF2 stock ones, so the "missing" textures should be included inside the original game CAT files. We did not add or remove anything from these ones. We think that this happens because if you are using North Atlantic, which is a "modern" gamem and thus does not have the Vietnam Era F-4B ad A-7A/B textures. Looks like the best base game to play YAP RW PO EE (2025) is definitively Strike Fighters 2 Complete Edition (SF2CE), so we advice to use that.

hi,

@wrench: i guessed that this is the problem; by publishing it here i wanted to make it known to the developpers of the revamp-series

@potentesciamo: the "glitch" i mentioned is not the overlay of debug-informations - which is quite easyly avoided - but the hybrid mig-21/mig-17 in the shelter, sort of "overlayed" parking aircraft as Wrench pointed out.

thank you for the answers ;-)

cheers

sokol

Dear Friends!
 
Thansk to the generosity of three YAP RW players, Members of the FB Group, we now have a dedicated Google Drive space where we can upload and store all the YAP RW chapters and make them available for download.
 
YAP RW Phase One - Enhanced Edition (2025), Rising Sun RW Phase One (2025), Flight School RW (2025) and Drug War RW (2025) are already uploaded in the latest, recently updated version, along with some BETA contents.
 
Here's the link to the website homepage: www.yap-revamp-works.com
 
Then, since we had enough money to get a 200 Gb yearly plan, we decided also to save some space for the old, original products. The official YAP3 homepage (http://yankeeairpirate.net) suffers from various issues and it is nearly impossible to update, since the plugins are too old and outdated. Moreover, the purchase section in damaged and no more accessible. We were never able to acces that, and now all products are denied.
 
So, we decided to replicate it in our new homepage and also share all the original products for free, offering the ones we purchased as customers. For now there are only the YAP3 SETS 1, 2 and 3, but we will continue on creating pages and upload packages on Drive in the next few weeks.

Dear Friends,
 
we are really happy to announce that, thanks to a few generous friends, ALL old YAP3 assets are now available FOR FREE in our new YAPR RW website, in the "Legacy" section:
 
Since the old, official YAP3 website is malfunctioning and will probably crash with no forewarning, we also recreated all pages into our (apart for the last RS, SOH and DW pages for which we have different ideas).
 
Side note: please consider that YAP3 and all other original episodes were created to work mainly with Windows XP and, later, also with Windows 7 but with a few issues.
 
If you want to play them in Windows 10, in their original, non revamped version, we strongly advice to use the YAP3 Win 10 Patch you can fine in every single download page. Just follow the instructions.
 
The YAP RW Team

      DRV 2.0 terrain
      Democratic Republic of Vietnam or better known as North Vietnam
      *****************************************************************************
      ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
      This terrain is written for SF2NA and SF2E or SF2I or SF2V.
      +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
      I. Short description:
      This terrain covers North Vietnam, parts of South Vietnam and Thailand.
      The timeframe of the terrain is from 1964 to 1979.
      It is made as a NavalMap so that you can fly carrier missions against North vietnam.
      You can fly following missions for the American and their allies, the South Vietnamese:
      SWEEP,CAP,ESCORT,INTERCEPT,STRIKE,SEAD,ANTI_SHIP,RECON,CAS,ARMED_RECON
      For the North Vietnamese you can fly this missions:
      CAP,INTERCEPT

      DRV 2.0 is a rework of DRV 1.4, a terrain which i made 20 years ago. I gave it a new tileset, reworked some tiling and some target areas. Further rework of the target areas is neccessary and will be done later.

      ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
      II. INSTALLATION:
      To run this terrain you need SF2NorthAtlantic and SF2 Israel or SF2 Europe or SF2 Vietnam.

      Unzip all files into your saved game folder ...ThirdWire\StrikeFighters2XXXX

      Thats it.

      If you have SF2Europe installed you must do nothing more.
      If you miss SF2E and have SF2Israel you must open file
      DRV.ini
      with Notepad editor and look for the lines:
      //CatFile=..\IsraelME\IsraelME.cat
      CatFile=..\GermanyCE\GermanyCE.cat
      change the entry into:
      CatFile=..\IsraelME\IsraelME.cat
      //CatFile=..\GermanyCE\GermanyCE.cat

      If you have SF2Vietnam, but no SF2 Europe then open
      DRV.ini with Notepad editor and look for the lines
      //CatFile=..\VietnamSEA\VietnamSEA.cat
      CatFile=..\GermanyCE\GermanyCE.cat
      change the entry ino:

      Hellenic Air Force An-12BP "Cub" - Elefsis AB 356 Tactical Transport Squadron 1979
      In late 1974 Greece withdrew from NATO military command due to the fact that an another NATO member invaded Cyprus. Turkish invasion forced Hellenic Army to redefine its doctrine. At the time highest rank military officers made it clear to the government that since turkish occupation forces were still on Cyprus keeping their positions and with no intention to withdraw, hellenic air force needed a new military transport aircraft. 
      Existing C-47s (Dakota) were very old (introduced in 1947) and their operational capability was very limited. Noratlas were second hand airframes coming from German surplus with deliveries starting in 1967 but during service many problems appeared and operational capability was in doubt. General Staff of National Defense decided that in the post invasion age a military transport aircraft being able to take off at night from Elefsis AB to Nicosia flying some meters above sea level, dropping at least 50 paratroopers and head back to Elefsis without midair refuel was urgently needed. 
      Now Greece had the option to import non-NATO military equipment. On November 1974 Greek government requested 10 An-12BPs from USSR. Initially soviets were cautious believing that exporting even a relatively old transport aircraft to Greece, more likely western experts would be able to analyze soviet transport aircraft technology. Turkey tried to prevent the request but finally USSR officials saw a historical chance of destabilizing the south-eastern NATO unity. 
      On mid February 1975 the first An-12BP serial 38 landed at Tanagra AB. All An-12BPs landed at Tanagra AB for post delivery evaluation before transfer at their home in 356 Tactical Transport Squadron in Elefsis AB.
