D-704 Buddy Store (Refueling Pod)
Crusader replied to Nyghtfall's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - File Announcements
The original setup as gun pod - it comes from the very early SF times when we had no NoJettisonTank function but had to prevent AI from jettison the refueling pod. And nobody realized that the pods also hold fuel, and not just the hose drum and hydraulics. Now...on to fly more fake tanker missions -
D-704 Buddy Store (Refueling Pod)
Crusader replied to Nyghtfall's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - File Announcements
How about a 2nd set of inis with the pods set up as fueltanks ? The pod holds 300 gal of fuel .. would be somewhat more usable then instead of gunpods without guns ;D ~ -

Show Any Weapon !
Crusader posted a topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
As in ShowAnyWeapon=TRUE entry for the avionics ini. It is a modifier for the LCOS and CCIP symbol types. A HUD section can be added to the avionics ini with just the LCOS (for NAV and AA mode) and CCIP (for AG mode) symbols. With ShowAnyWeapon=TRUE added the aircraft has a CCIP (rolltabs if not set to hide on AG) in AG mode with the sight displayed for all other AG weapon types as well. When the last rocket or bomb is released the sight resets to 0 elevation (doesnt go poof as with a default CCIP) And a complete LCOS sight with rangebar and rolltabs is displayed for all AA weapons in AA mode. Example file using the F-4E_78 F-4E_78_AVIONICS.zip Updates for the TMF F-4E ARN-101 aircraft (which should use exactly this sight setup) come next. -

Version v1c

Strike Fighters 2 Europe (SF2E) F-15A Eagle avionics enhancement v1c Updates over the previous v1a version: - improved and repositioned scales for a more realistic look - added EOGB capability to data ini for GBU-8 (Wing and CL stations) - EOGB seeker symbology (gunsight) added to HUD - LGB seeker symbology (Target Box) added to HUD (The box marks primary strike target like it would be the case by using the Inertial Navigation System function) - minor other ini tweakes ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Strike Fighters 2 Europe (SF2E) F-15A Eagle avionics enhancement v1a by : Crusader ( avionics, ini tweaks ) ######################################### # For SF2E updated to version JULY 2011 # ######################################### Note: No TWS radar mode. That's no error, its just the way it was. The enhancement adds several readouts or changes to them for a more "realistic" look and functionality of the HUD and APG-63 radar. Further changes are made to the data and cockpit ini for a new launch sequence of AIM-7 missiles, launching in Right Fwq - Right Aft - Left fwd - Left Aft sequence. Another small tweak is the AIM-7 ejection angle, they are now ejected at a 45° downward angle instead of straight down. All edits/tweakes/enhancements are limited by current game limits, so there are a few work arounds and trade-offs. Installation : Copyor move the 3 ini files and cockpit folder provided by this mod into the ..\ your mods folder\ThirdWire\StrikeFighters2 Europe\Objects\Aircraft\F-15A folder Other files/mods included: Gunsight texture by wpnssgt. Thanks! For questions/comments ect, contact "Crusader" at CombatAce.com forums.

Hit box adjustments...
Crusader replied to Wrench's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - World War II Forum
One of the most "funniest" hitboxes of a stock game id the B-52 tailgunner.. the box is about 20 or so meter behind the tail .. and the kite has problems with the engine boxes and the fuselage too, iirc. And yes, I consider the bounding box values just a point to start with hit boxes I take a look at a stock jet similar to the one I want to fix/mod and the boxes on it, to have some consistency. -
