Ther's and error in the Decals.ini, wrong positions, I made a quick correction, worked for me.

Aniway, in the download section you find much better skin,both USAF and VNAF

Try this

DECALS.INI

Thanks so much bro!

yes, it should.

but...

back up the skin folder just in case (cover your ass). Which is odd, as the VNAF is a stock skin for B-57B, so it shouldn't even HAVE a seperate skin folder, but pulls all from the cat.

Of course, as stated in the opening post, it's from the VN mod pack (would be nice to know exactly which one, eh?). I know for sure it's several years out of date. So, don't be surprised when there's others that are fucked up.

And, as an extra added bonus, I"d suggest spending some time in the SF1 & SF2 Knowledge Bases; all the "how do I do...." questions are answered there. Like, in the SF1/Wo* "how to use the cat extractor" tutorial

Ah sorry about that, Its the Air & Ground War Expansion, I just call it Gold for short.

You probably need the updated decals ini as well.

I hate to ask, but how do I do that? I'm still pretty new to all this.

So, the DATA Ini fix actually worked, but the decals are still screwed up.

You need a Cat extractor to extract the ini files,I use the TW one. When you launch the extractor,hit the browse button and go on the folder where SF2 is installed for me:

C:/Program(x86)/Thirdwire/StrikeFighter2/Object/ObjectData009

 

Anyway if you need the B-57B_Data this is the file,drag in your B-57B folder and let to overwrite

 

B-57B_DATA.INI

Thanks a bunch! do you know where to get the cat extractor by the way? the others in the thread say I need the original decal.ini as well

I had the same problem less than a month ago;are old Data.ini,using an Extractor ( I use the TW one) go in the ObjectData009 and extract the B-57B_Data.ini and replace the old one in your modded folder

Here my same problem

I appreciate it!, but where do I find the ObjectData009? and by extractor, do you mean just pull out the Data.ini from there and override the modded one?

So in my install of the Vietnam gold mod pack the VNAF B-57s are HORRIBLY broken, the pilots sticking out, broken textures, I'm not exactly sure what went wrong, I have all the update patches for it and everything!

you've got an old data ini in the aircraft's folder. If you rename it (xA-7E_Data.ini, for example), the issue will disappear. IF you need the data ini for things like player controlled canopy or folding wings or whatever, you'll have to extract a new one from the Cat files, make the changes to match, and then leave the NEW one replacing the defective one in the aircraft's folder.

This is a VERY common problem on older mods

Oh wow, I really appreciate it! it worked immediatly, and I wasn't even aware there was things like player controlled canopys or folding wings, strange thing is that me and my friend both installed the same pack around the same time, his stuff worked perfectly yet mine had the broken tanks!

So I've been playing the vietnam gold pack alot recently, and I've noticed on the A-6 Intruder and A-7 Corsair II the Drop tanks are permanently afixed to the aircraft and loadouts that take those stations overlap the weapons with the tanks! 

Please excuse the activate windows on the bottom right.

Unsure what I did wrong, but the Linebacker '75 has all navy aircraft start in the middle of the sea without a carrier, Unsure what I did wrong but its driving me nuts! I was looking forward to flying cats in 'nam!
