SF2 TMF Mirage 5BA Upgrade/Remod Pack
Wrench posted a topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - File Announcements
View File SF2 TMF Mirage 5BA Upgrade/Remod Pack SF2 TMF Mirage 5BA Upgrade/Remod Pack 4/26/2024 -For SF2, Any and All-(Full 5 Merged Suggested) This is a full upgrade/remod pack for The Mirage Factory's Mirage 5BA as used by the Belgian Air Force. This mod contains 1 aircraft, with 1 skin representing No. 2 Squadron, BAF. This mod is set up and labeled to cause NO conflicts with the Mirage 5BA available from within the game (aka: DLC #7) or any others that may exist. Skin remain in its original bmp format. National marikings are painted on, and my (Patent Pending) fake insignia and SqTail decals are active, allowing the squadron's name & Nation Name to be displayed on the Loadout screen. Serial number Decal Randomization is TRUE. All necessary items are provided, serial number decals, weapons (drop tanks), pilots, seats, sounds, effects, and so forth. Some, you've probably got already!!! If I missed any, PLEASE let me know and I'll get it fixed. When in-game, on the Aircraft Selection Drop down you'll see: Mirage 5BA (TMF) So you can't mistake it for anything other than TMF Birds (tm). This will also diferentiate THIS one from the 5BA & BA_80 from 3rd Wire's DLC #7. This aircraft is 'sorta' both versions. As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them. All original readmes, when discoverable, are included. The 'Change Log' is, as always, in the Notes section below. Happy Landings!

It was very much part of my formative years. I'm one of the kids that grew up in the 60 (born 1957), so I watched The War every night on the news. -

Where Yankee Air Pirate REVAMP has gone?
Wrench replied to JamesWilson's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
I got the first part when the RW group first dropped it. Honestly, I was NOT impressed, either with the aircraft or the terrain mods. Now, that being said there are some nice 'eye candy' pieces that would look good incorporated into other period terrains. But top of the line, no. (now, remember I"m speaking ONLY of this 1st part) The original WW2 PTO mods were also not that impressive, although, again, having some nice bits. And don't even get me started on YAPs Persian Gulf fiasco. I do remember their basic tennant --- "we're telling (selling) stories, not the various objects needed to tell them" (or words to that effect) -
YAP AND RISING SUN for wov
Wrench replied to DEVIL11's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
Swambast makes the point I was trying for, but with better words. No matter how it's sliced, it will still contains "unethicly sourced" items. I remember the raging shitstorm when it was being released for WoV. A large number of you don't. DA: no, i'm not in the group. To quote somebody famous "would I want to join a club that has me as a member?" -

Wrench replied to DEVIL11's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
I would be nice to actually HEAR from the revamp mod group. Things that are, or were, payware at still very much a gray area to us Admins (and modder too!). I know it's something that we'll have to discuss at some point in the future. Would one consider the SF1 version as abandonware?? Do we ignore it because it is/was payware?? I'd VERY much like to hear from one of the leaders of the Revamp Project. -

Mirage 5BA (TMF) and RPK10 issue
Wrench posted a topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
As you've all guessed by now, I've been revamping The Mirage Factory birds for SF2. The 5BA for Belguim is the last of the Mirages still to do. However... for the life of me, I cannot get the RPK10 Kangrou bomb/fuel tank to load. I've updated the "weapon" to SF2 stnadard, double and triple checked everything and not only will it not load and carry the 4 Mk82s, but it don't even show up (as a fuel tank that is. I'm assuming -OH!!! that word!!! -- that the game thinks it's a MER of some type). This IS the BFT that came with the aircraft 'way back when. anybody got any ideas??? I mean, I could alwasy hang a TER on the inboards, or sling 2 bombs on the centerline only (such a waste to ONLY carry 2 into the heart of the enemy ...but whatever) all help is appriciated!! TIA!! -
B61 Nuclear Bomb Pack
Wrench replied to ravenclaw_007's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - File Announcements
they're stored in the various Object cat files. You'll have use an extractor (Mues, 3W, etc), to pull them out then place them in their aircraft folder inside the mod folder,and there you can edit them DOn't forget, you'll also need to edit the loadout ini for each of them, added the "Nuke_Strike" loadout -
