SF2 TMF K'fir C2 & C7 (IDF) Upgrade/Remod Pack
Wrench posted a topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - File Announcements
View File SF2 TMF K'fir C2 & C7 (IDF) Upgrade/Remod Pack SF2 TMF K'fir C2 & C7 (IDF) Upgrade/Remod Pack 4/15/2024 -For SF2, Any and All-(SF2:I and/or Full 5 Merged Suggested) This is a full upgrade/remod pack for The Mirage Factory's IAI K'firs as used by the Israeli Defense Force Air Force. Included in this package are 2 full aircraft, with several skins: Kfir C2: 101 Squadron 109 Squadron 149 Squadron (all in 2-tone greys) Kfir C7: 144 Squadron (3-tone camo) They are set up and labeled to cause NO conflicts with the Kfir available as stock within the game or any others that may exist. Skins remain in their original bmp format. National markings 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: Kfir C2 (TMF) and Kfir C7 (TMF) So you can't mistake them for anything other than TMF Birds (tm). 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! Wrench Kevin Stein For Oli and The Mirage Factory Submitter Wrench Submitted 04/19/2024 Category Israeli Origin -

don't forget, you can have date and nation specific loadouts!!! Say, RCAF Sabres have Sidewinders, but GAF don't in the same year spread. -

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 -

WIP Mega THREAD!
Wrench replied to ErikGen's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
they'll be Level=2, just like serials. So, if serial 3 (assuming standard 3W numbering of serial 1 being 000), would be serial002. You just name the 'artwork' to match (done this, literally, thousands of times with nose arts). Like so: stork002 rescue002 thusly!! Which H-19 that one?? Just curious! -

SF2 IAI Dagger (FAA) by The Mirage Factory Upgrade/Remod Pack 4/4/2024 -For SF2, Any and All-(Full 5 Merged Suggested) This is a full upgrade/remod pack for The Mirage Factory's IAI Dagger as used by the Argentine Air Force (Fuerza Aérea Argentina or FAA). Skins remain in their original bmp format. All necessary items are provided, weapons, pilots, seats, sounds, effects, and so forth (most weapons used ARE stock 3W items, with few exceptions). This is a "nationalized" single-user only aircraft. This aircraft is supplied with 3 skins: Camo with NO ID bands (original skin) Camo with Blue ID Bands Camo with Yellow ID Bands (both with a 1982 start date) All skins use the same 'pool' of 39 ID/serial numbers. All serials are 100% hisorically accurate. As can be expected, the SF2 Date Switch (tm) is active, although the 2 Color Banded Birds (tm) both have the 1982 start date for use during the Falkland War (as best as my research could narrow down) Also, the Date Switch is used on the Loadout ini, as newer missiles become available. When in-game, on the Aircraft Selection Drop-down you'll see: Dagger (TMF) So you can't mistake them for anything else but TMF Birds (tm). Also. this will diferentiate it from the Other Daggers available 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! Wrench Kevin Stein For Oli and The Mirage Factory -
