  1. Thanks Sid,

     

    But You don't need a .CAT File in the Terrains Folder anymore......

     

    I'll use the Range as an example. Make a Folder in Your Mod Folder as "Terrains". You know, C:\Documents\Thirdwire\StrikeFighters2\....Terrain. In the Terrain Folder, A Folder containing all Files pretaining to "Range" be installed.

     

    As before, We needed a .Cat File renamed to whatever for the Terrain to work.........NOT ANY MORE.

     

     

    In "Range.INI" you'll need to change this

     

     

    CatFile=Desert.CAT

     

    to

     

    CatFile=C:\StrikeFighters2\Terrains\Desert.CAT

     

     

     

    Just point it to the Terrains File in the "Core" of the Game to the .CAT File, That's it. No more copying the .CAT over to that particular Terrain Folder and Re-nameing........

     

     

    This new Version will make cleaner Installs.......Very Cool! :good:

  3. USMC Fast Facs


    Gunny's brought Yall' a Holiday Gift.... :yes:

     

     

     

    USMC TA-4F Skyhawk II "Fast FAC's by 331Killerbee

     

    This Mod represents the 24 Aircraft the Marine Corps used as "Fast Facs" durning the Veitnam War.

    TA-4F's were used as "Fast Facs" by three "Hams" Units. "Hams" is Marine jargon for Headquaters and

    Maintence Squadrons. (OMD) 16 Aircraft were operated by H&MS-11 out of Da Nang AB. H&MS-12 operated6 Aircraft out of Chu Lai AB. H&MS-13 operated just 2 out of Chu Lai. This Mod reflects that with

    the proper Serials for each Squadron as they operated in the Republic of Veitnam.

     

     

    Credits: Fracture for his great Model of the TA-4J and Templetes. Thanx a bunch!

    My many Friends in the Strike Fighters World. Thanx for the Fun!

     

     

    INSTALLATION: Please Read Carefully!

     

    First you need a Copy of Fracture's TA-4J

     

    You can obtain one at Combatace under Strike Fighters Downloads under the Aircraft Section

    Under A-4 Skyhawks.

     

    Copy one File: TA-4J.Lod over to the TA-4F File provided here. That's it. No Re-Nameing of anything.

    No messing with the Weapons Editor.......That's it! Then have Fun!

     

    For Questions and Comments, I can be PM'd here by the callsign 542tiger ala' 331Killerbee... :wink:

     

     

    Happy Holidays! Semper Fi! :good:

  4. Guys,

    Yall' are doing an outstanding job. I've downloaded and did some runs. It is neat and cool. :good:

     

    Let me introduce myself, I'm 331Killerbee. (I go by 542tiger nowadays) I along with alot of close friends did the first "Weapons Pack" nearly 5+ Years ago. We started off with 97 stock Weapons in the SFP1 days (Prior to any WOX Versions) With a new Editor, No Weapons Animations and doing all the editting by hand. We had no ECM (Chaff-Flares) and some Effects. I started out by making the LAU-62 Flare Pod, which I think is still in there somewhere, and made the first LGB's Fly. At last count, I had some 2200+ Weapons in one Load. Man, We've come a long way. After some suggesting, TK gave us Weapons animations around Patch 2 with the Mk.82 Snakeyes, then shortly afterwards, Flares and then ECM.

    Many of the first Modders dealing with the Weapons Packs were either retired ex-military Ordnancemen or on current or active duty Military at the time. Myself, a 20 year retired USMC Ordnanceman that also worked for the Department of Energy involving Weapons. Thus, this is mostly why the US-NATO Inventory is much greater in scope and substance. Yes, We tried to include it all. Marking Rockets, Inert Bombs and Rockets and ect....The thinking was to be as "Real" as it gets. And We also had a Target Range to practice on. Our major Problem was the lack of information on Warsaw Pac- USSR Weapons back then. We just didn't have enough information at the time. Others have come along to fill in the gap over the years and I do like very much what lindr2 and others are doing in this area.

    It's good to see that our work on the "Weapons Team" has not been in vein.

     

    For what it's worth, Keep up the good work and remember........

     

    If it doesn't have Ordnance, It's just another commerical Flight. :wink:

     

     

    Semper Fi!

  5. Something about Recon Birds...I've seen you guys doing alot of work in this area. Something worth looking into is in the Archive over at SimHq in the "First Years" about minipulating the Views .ini in the Flight Folder.........Some neat things there.

     

     

    Look for work done by a guy named by Lobo.....An early guy from the community that's no longer with us, and Me.


  6. For the Ole' Schooler's...Contact Me via using the PM here addresse to 542tiger......I'm able to check about once maybe twice a Week.

     

    For the New Guy's.......I'll introduce Myself.......I'm 331KillerBee.....The one and only (If it's like something)...Ha Ha

     

     

    Recce RF-8's are just so sleek and fast not to do...........Low Level Recce is the best. Close up and personal.
