TKs ammo loads for the Spit 9 and the Stang are accurate. TMF Spitfire, the Ia should have 300 rounds each for all 8 guns... it was changed on the late series Ib to 350 rounds each for the 4 outboard MGs, the inboard Hispano's had 60 rounds drum magazines. The Fw 190 A-1 armament : 4x MG 17 , ( 2x engine cowling, 2x wing roots, all syncronized, all weapons eject links and cases overboard from openings in the fuselage/wing bottom) 2x MG-FF/M ( outer wings, cases are not ejected, they are collected inside the wings) Ammo loads: MG 17 cowling : 900 rounds each MG 17 wing roots: 1000 rounds each MG-FF/M: 60 rounds each The weapons were wired into two groups for firing : Group 1: all four MG 17 Group 2: both MG-FF/M Thus the firing possibilities were either each group separately or both groups together -

Fire 2ndary guns not working?
Crusader replied to Wrench's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
thats 2 different things the trigger inputs: InputName=FIRE_PRIMARY_GUN no problems InputName=FIRE_SECONDARY_GUN never worked FOR AI AIRCRAFT since day 1 of SFP1, that was notable on all early SF series 1 games where the AI MiG-17's fired only the 23mm cannons and not the 37mm cannon which was set to FIRE_SECONDARY_GUN Then there is the GunGroup= function There are no problems with it, the TW F-8 Crusader series is using GunGroups by deault Each gun can be sorted into a group , example from the Gunval Sabre: [internalGun1] SystemType=FIXED_GUN GunTypeName=20mm_T160 InputName=FIRE_PRIMARY_GUN MuzzlePosition=-0.539,4.233,0.13 LightPosition= -0.589,4.283,0.13 MaxAmmo=115 EjectShells=TRUE EjectPosition=-0.36,3.454,-0.437 EjectVelocity=0.0,0.0,-2.0 MinExtentPosition=-0.45, 3.50,0.08 MaxExtentPosition=-0.55, 4.40,0.18 GunGroup=1 [internalGun2] SystemType=FIXED_GUN GunTypeName=20mm_T160 InputName=FIRE_PRIMARY_GUN MuzzlePosition=-0.609,4.234,-0.213 LightPosition= -0.659,4.284,-0.213 MaxAmmo=115 EjectShells=TRUE EjectPosition=-0.24,3.454,-0.437 EjectVelocity=0.0,0.0,-2.0 MinExtentPosition=-0.45, 3.50,-0.16 MaxExtentPosition=-0.55, 4.40,-0.26 GunGroup=2 [internalGun3] SystemType=FIXED_GUN GunTypeName=20mm_T160 InputName=FIRE_PRIMARY_GUN MuzzlePosition=0.539,4.233,0.13 LightPosition= 0.589,4.283,0.13 MaxAmmo=115 EjectShells=TRUE EjectPosition=0.36,3.454,-0.437 EjectVelocity=0.0,0.0,-2.0 MinExtentPosition= 0.45, 3.50, 0.08 MaxExtentPosition= 0.55, 4.40, 0.18 GunGroup=1 [internalGun4] SystemType=FIXED_GUN GunTypeName=20mm_T160 InputName=FIRE_PRIMARY_GUN MuzzlePosition=0.609,4.234,-0.213 LightPosition= 0.659,4.284,-0.213 MaxAmmo=115 EjectShells=TRUE EjectPosition=0.24,3.454,-0.437 EjectVelocity=0.0,0.0,-2.0 MinExtentPosition=0.45, 3.50,-0.16 MaxExtentPosition=0.55, 4.40,-0.26 GunGroup=2 the 4 guns are splilt into 2 Groups ( Group 1 + 2 ) and can be selected via a keyboard command : ( default on my keyboard ) NEXT_GUNGROUP=SEMICOLON PREV_GUNGROUP=SHIFT+SEMICOLON This gives the option of using either the group 1 guns, or the group 2 guns, or both groups together. -
SF2 Korean War Era F-86F GunVal Sabre Pak UPDATE
Crusader posted a topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - File Announcements
File Name: SF2 Korean War Era F-86F GunVal Sabre Pak UPDATE File Submitter: Crusader File Submitted: 06 December 2012 File Category: F-86 UPDATE for http://combatace.com...nval-sabre-pak/ Small adjustments: - ammo capacity increased to 115 rpg - new T-160 gun with correct muzzle velocity and ROF of 1500 rpm and no entry for tracer tga * - shell ejection set to TRUE (only the links were retained inside) - aircraft weight increased by 76 kg - Cockpit fixes: + CGCockpitOffset=TRUE added + cockpit POV height offset set to 0 + cockpit height position synchronized with pilot height position * M39 cannon V0 and ROF are different . There was no 20-mm tracer ammo in Korea (only had API, HEI and a practice round) but they tipped API rounds into beeswax which gave a smoke trail when fired - wasnt perfect since the smoke trail was short ranged. Removing the tracer tga entry from the gun makes it a easy lookalike effect. Have fun The KAW Mod Team Click here to download this file -

np I got one or two flights with the 109 and the Spit yesterday Cant say much yet, but they flew both stable and what I saw of the AI was good too .... the 109 has a landing problem, they make a touch and go and then fly on ... from my flight of 5 wingos only 2 landed very late, near the rwy end the other 3 kept going, gear and flaps down .. heading straight down the rwy axis for many miles at ~ 600 ft In the Spitfire cockpit ini, replace the PitchSolid section with the data below for a proper VSI [PitchSolid] Type=VERTICAL_VELOCITY_INDICATOR NodeName=needleVASI MovementType=ROTATION_Z ValueUnit=FPM Set[01].Position=-163.0 Set[01].Value=-4000.0 Set[02].Position=-113.0 Set[02].Value=-3000.0 Set[03].Position=-72.0 Set[03].Value=-2000.0 Set[04].Position=-33.50 Set[04].Value=-1000.0 Set[05].Position=00.00 Set[05].Value=0.0 Set[06].Position=33.50 Set[06].Value=1000.0 Set[07].Position=72.0 Set[07].Value=2000.0 Set[08].Position=113.0 Set[08].Value=3000.0 Set[09].Position=152.0 Set[09].Value=4000.0 -
German bomber sight ....
Crusader posted a topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - World War II Forum
I made this thing for He 111 and Ju 88 Its set up as CCIP sight, looking VERY loosely like a German Lotfe sight reticle .. sort of. The 2 triangles are roll tabs to make it easier to keep wings level Usage: - near target, select bombs, open bombbay if required - switch cockpit OFF ( Numpad DEL by default) and move the view full down ( Numpad arrows or CTRL+arrows or wahtever the keys are) until the sight comes into view - use Zoom to further change the view as required ( looks a bit like looking through a sight .... with some imagination ... - line up the target early, use small roll inputs - push into a shallow dive at high altitude to get the reticle into view and better aiming - drop bombs when bottom edge of target hits top edge of the horizontal yellow line And I updated the bomb positions on the A-Team He 111 to make them sit properly in the vertical bays -
German bomber sight ....
Crusader replied to Crusader's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - World War II Forum
Yea I was pretty sure that its not a new invention ;D I thought about blacking out the area surrounding the sight but since the bombardier can look away from the sight and through the cockpit nose glazing I decided to keep the area clear .... Perhaps making a version 2 with blacked out area ... Actually thats a even more interesting way of bombing.. then the player has to adjust view angle manually for early target acquiring and lineup... hmmm.. -
