BaseSize parameter for carriers
Mr_Tayto replied to Svetlin's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
@Svetlin have you tried actually landing on the deck? Also I wonder if it's worth checking the US naval aircraft for their "basesize" settings; it could be that the value relates to runway length for unassisted takeoffs, or even for runway surface (I noticed earlier this week some aircraft taking off from rough fields in game, which I didn't even know existed)? -

Proud of myself - best carrier landing I've ever done. I just followed CASE 1 to the letter (and number!) -

I do love me some aggressors. Just the best liveries. Nearly came to grief heading home from a strike; a big raid was on my reciprocal bearing, same altitude. I saw them last second! -
Scooters pack - VA-12 skin incomplete?
Mr_Tayto replied to Mr_Tayto's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
Yeah I have that in a seperate folder from earlier. That's been the issue. I forgot that they sailed with the A-4E in '66 (but weirdly with the A-4C_65 in '70?) Problem solved. I have the wrong aircraft selected for the squadron and time period, so it seems there's a "standard" early A-4 with the right colours but none of the decals. Sorry for any timed wasted all! -

I know, which is why i'm so confused I can't find it! No decals.ini I have done this before ;) -

I can't find any of these files; I'm guessing they're something I need to unpack via that Mues program - honestly I've never worked out how to use it and it terrifies me to try to "pick it up as I go along", in case I break something I can't fix! -

Not yet, will give it ago later when I can play again. -
Scooters pack - VA-12 skin incomplete?
Mr_Tayto replied to Mr_Tayto's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
Having reinstalled and had another go, it's no different. But I did wonder if the fact I'm playing it on Burning Sands (1959) might be the issue. It's entirely possible that the mod only works for actual Vietnam scooters (given that's its name) Anyway, when I've done this campaign I'll go to Vietnam -

Thanks, I'll have a look. Hmmm. Given the sheer size of the mod, I'm wondering if I downloaded and unpacked, but never actually installed it. Looking through the mod folder that was installed already, there's nothing like the number of folders in there as the mod folder. I'll give it a go. -

Goddamn! That's perfect. This is what mine looks like below. What have I done wrong? (And how should I fix it?) -

Question mark on the title because I am flying a VA-12 Skyhawk at the moment and noticed the Ubangis logo on the fuselage is missing. I just wondered if this is on purpose or for some other reason. Everything else is perfect! I would have tagged the creator but I can't remember who it was (and couldn't find their name in the readme). EDIT: I see now it's @Nyghtfall -
Question about cockpit.ini and 'firing cue' for accessbility
Mr_Tayto replied to Eagle114th's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
On that note I'm sure I read somewhere that the Shrike "growled" like a sidewinder when it had a target, but it doesn't in game. Can anyone confirm this? @Eagle114th I'm delighted you got this sorted out -
Thirdwire Forum moving to Discord
Mr_Tayto replied to MigBuster's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
If anyone wants to talk about SF2 (and other Sims) in a grown-up and enthusiastic space, the YouTube SF2 streamer Devin Horner made a discord earlier this year (at my suggestion), because apart from this place there's really nowhere else. You can find it here: https://discord.gg/QRqnh9dU I'm a moderator there and very active, so can vouch for it. I'm a member of the TW discord and, while I haven't seen any really bad stuff yet, it isn't great for PC stuff. I also find it really weird the earnestness that people can talk about a mobile game! -
