thank you, gentlemen. moving the _spec-files to specific subfolders (i.e. those with camouflage-skins) - and deleting them from the main folder - did the trick. cheers sokol

Logan has given us a real christmas-gift in advance: the Mikoyan Ye-8. Today I tried in vain to paint a natural-metal-finish. I did use different combinations of specular, glossiness, reflection, some of them very succesful with other aircraft, but they did not suceed on this one. No shine, no real metal look. There is a "fuselage-spec" file included which presumably should support the job (a la FSX and other sims), but how does it work ? Any help is greatly welcomed. cheers Sokol

my setup looks like this 1) username/savedgames/thirdwire/strikefighters2 Vietnam/ ... <=== this was created automatically by running the game, it includes an option-file 2) whatever_you_want/sf2_mods/... <=== this one is created by me, at whatever place and whatever name i like, and this includes all the relevant folders with add-ons, modifications etc. including a terrainS-folder (note the S: it is plural instead of singular in the sf1-series) which includes the different locations (vietnam_sea, salomons etc.) i link to no.2 in the option-file (down low, mods-folders-name) which resides in no. 1) ;-) not quite sure if this helps. sokol

any news on this one ?

hi, the Kuznetsov needs a third catapult, left side, to the rear. for the weapon system you may want to try some of those of the default soviet warships. cheers sokol

sure. it was an interesting aera, and so easy to define who is the good one, and who is the bad one. cheers sokol

thank you. as i said: plain blind / dumb, poor me.

thanks ;-) will be waiting ... sokol

hi, once upon a time the profile-sites of comabtace's users offered the opportunity to download the files provided by that specific user. which was very convenient. i cannot find this feature any more. has it gone ? or, i am just plain dumb ? thanks sokol

hi, any news on this one ? release date - two weeks ;-) cheers sokol

thank you for your tips. there is a working version of marcfighter's Ajeet included in die SF2IO-package (SF2 - Indian Ocean). ;-) cheers sokol

well, this is not bad either

simply amazing aircraft-model.

Hi, I returned to Marcfighter's Ajeet only to find that it does not show it's gear when extended. There are screenshot around here at combatace which show the complete aircraft, alas in my installation of sf2 NA the gear comes out, but disappears when extended. Mue's Lodviewer confirms this strange behaviour. is there a fix available? cheers &thanks sokol

wow, really stunning. and a new perspective. @dtmdrogan: just click on die silver swallow studio-link in the first post, you will be redirected to the tariler on facebook. cheers sokol

beautiful & amazing like they say: can't wait :-) cheers sokol

amazing work & very very welcomed. do you provide templates for texturing ? these types cry for new textures, as there wass a multitude of camouflages in ww2. thanks for your work sokol

gentlemen, thanks for your advice. i did use the paperclip-way, but was not quite sure about policies ;-) cheers sokol

amariani - simply marvellous. my dumb question: which is the best way to include pictures ? it used to be to link to photbucket ... thx for advice sokol

wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh when ???????????????????????????????????????????

nice aircraft & nice story though: too large an airplane for too small an engine (single engine!) cheers sokol

which are you favorite terrains in terms of eyecandy or playability or realism or theatre or combined ? Background: I have some 3 dozens of terrains installed: ww2, vietnam, pacifc, africa, etc., but as the looks of the terrains were always a weak point of thirdwire's sim I tend to play only a few: Angola, Finland (A-Team), Vietnam (yap), which is a pity. so, which do you like most ? cheers sokol
