Vietnam Community Project Idea: Gulf of Tonkin Incident - Redux
Wrench replied to swambast's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
using the layout of the original, plus some old maps I found, and not a little guesswork, and Gepard's skills , I think it came out pretty damn good. I have to send you the static EC-121 (camo) and the target ini's locations for their parking spots. If I may make a suggestion, include an alternative _targets.ini, with the full set of items, for those with higher end machines. -

Need lod files for E-2C-R3
Wrench replied to 1Patriot-of-many's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
Considering the age of mod; access to DAT "products" (used loosely) was still available. It ain't so any more. They got mad, took their toys and went home. Then built their own version of the Iron Curtain (tm). We don't use their stuff, we don't talk about their stuff, and try not to have any of their stuff (although we do have some ini edits and skins in their own section of the downloads. Use at own risk). In other words, their existence is discouraged. So, now is the time to start learning basic modding, doncha think? If you don't have NA, well, you're just screwed on the Hawkeye. But yes, asking for someone share the LOD, is piracy. No ifs, ands, or butts. We don't condone it and will not tolerate it, and it's stated all over this site and has been for the last 15 years, and iirc, in the 'sign up' for when members join CA. I, personally, give ONE and only ONE warning for thing like this. So, consider that done. Moving along now ... -
Need lod files for E-2C-R3
Wrench replied to 1Patriot-of-many's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
We don't deal with their stuff here. You maybe SOL. Is there something wrong with the stock Hawkeye that comes with SF2:NA??? (maybe try a little editing to get that one working) -

I'd go with what DA said. Since it's "local" to that region, city or village. -

Question about static airliners
Wrench replied to Stratos's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
Cool! I'll wait for that release, before finishing off the Espana terrain. Want to add the 737s to the mix. (right now testing all the "routes" for things) -

Counter UAS System

that actually brings up and interesting question :: how to create (or simulate) drone swarm attacks? Since the game will treat them like any other AI controlled birds -

Question about static airliners
Wrench replied to Stratos's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
COOL! My only request would be, if you could use jpgs for the textures. My (very) old PS.6 doesn't like them much (or running in win 11). With your permission, I wish to edit the existing ones to jpg. (and I'm too old and narrow minded to learn GIMP or Paint.net -- been using PS for 20+ years!) -
Questions about DLL files modding (DLL - Dissassembled codes found!)
Wrench replied to Eagle114th's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
It's like the 2 scientists in "Close Encounters of the 3rd (wire) Kind", when the Mother Ship (tm) and the computer are talking - "They're talking way above my head" Don't understand what it is, but hey, it's gotta be a help to someone that knows!!! -

Question about static airliners
Wrench replied to Stratos's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
re: DC-4 Is that John Wayne in the copilot's seat????? Many, many thanks!!!! I've been putting the statics directly into the terrain folder(s), but inside their own sub-folders. We've been able to do that for ???? some time ??? and it makes not only for a (slightly) cleaner more organize folder, but does allow for textures to be linked directly to a lod, even when same names are used (example are some C-130s I've using) Souli: not flyable (or flying) , but a static Terrain Object. But thanks for the links!!! -
Question about static airliners
Wrench replied to Stratos's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
trust me, ya don't wanna go down that road. while not a difficult, even if each is in their own folder -- and this would have to be the way it's done, AND each lod would have to be uniquely named, with matching uniquely named textures, it's not really worth it. (i've already ran that road, with C-130s, and trust me on this) Note the Caravell next to the Connie, while it "should" have Air France markings, don't. So it can be used anywheres.

Question about static airliners
Wrench replied to Stratos's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
It'll have to be rebuilt as a static, so slats and flaps aren't needed. Thinner nacelles would be good, but for 'eye candy', it can slide. Just landing gear. Don't even need airliner livery, maybe a stripe. I've removed all such from parked statics, in keeping with the 'generic type'. Here's the Connie at Lisbon's international. Looks perfect!!! -

YES!!! Those would all come in handy for something, at some time for somewhere!!! The 121 series for Southeast Asia definately. IIRC, russo's Connie is the alphasim...wonder if the textures will work? Well, downloading now Thank you sir!!!
