View File SF2 P/F-61B Black Widow, 319th F(AW)S Skins Pack Post-WW2 SF2 P/F-61B Black Widow, 319th F(AW)S Skins Pack 7/2/2019 -For SF2, (Full 5 Merged Reccomended)- This is a new skin & decal set for Veltro2K's P-61 Black Widow Night/All Weather interceptor. This skin represents the 318th Fighter (All Weather) Squadron from 1946-1948. They were (originally) based at Mitchell Field (AFB) Long Island, NY, as part of the newly formed Air Defence Command. They and several other night/all weather and day fighter squadrons were responsible for the defence of the northeastern United States. In 1948, they moved to McChord AFB, Washington, transistioned to F-82 Twin Mustangs, and took on Northwest Air Defense duties. The skin is in jpg format. All markings are decals. 26 new P-61B serial and Buzz numbers were created for this mod. The serials ARE for late production block 61Bs, but should be considered generic in nature as they represent no particular aircraft from any specific unit. Decal randomization is TRUE. Included is a hangar screen for this skin, too! The SF2 'date switch' is used to turn on this skin in 1946. Also included is a new data and avionics inis. A new more compliant FM has been built, and many engine parameters have been adjusted (NOW! With WEP!!). The avionics ini, given game limitations, should be more in line with the actual workings of the SCR-720 air intercept radar. A backup copy of the data ini is included, for safety's sake. (always back up!!). See "Notes" below for a complete listing, and explainitions. You must have the original P-61B from either you WW2 installs or a new download from the following URL to apply this skin set to: https://combatace.com/files/file/14739-northrop-p-61-black-widow-pack/ Remember, this is a POST-war skin. The data ini has operational dates adjusted (corrected) accordingly. As is always reccomended, unzip to a temp folder or your desktop to give easy access to the rest of this readme for it's install instructions. Might want to give the "Notes & Other Nonsense" section a once over, as well! :) Good Hunting! Wrench Kevin Stein Submitter Wrench Submitted 07/08/2019 Category Other

really good profiles; just a pity the individual squadrons aren't named. (I did recognize a few insignia, like the sea bird for 101st FS, MASS ANG) EDIT: olppss! this dumb-ass just opened the jpgs and didn't bother readin the NAMES of them!! DOOOOUHHHH!! -

SF2 all in one release
Wrench replied to logan4's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
DAMN!! I plugged in the code I have (BLC 29) as I'd lost almost everything, email wise, in the December 2018 HD crash and it won't take it bummer. oh well, the Mrs said I could do it, so I am! -

excellent work Russ. As said, don't rush through it! Fix whatever you think needs fixing; we ain't in not rush! my plan, once I have the base template, is a generic NM skin. Some of our other painters are FAR better than I for the three-tone SEA post 63 skins! (I'll be glad to make all the decals, though) If you need some reference books, I've a couple in the Library! -
SF2 all in one release
Wrench replied to logan4's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
Gents, to see if it's a good price, worthy of spending our hard earned cash, just add up the cost fo the 5 games, 2 expansion packs and 29 DLCs Number don't lie, and I'm getting mine. I'll find 100 bucks somewhere -
Strike Fighters 2 Complete Edition
Wrench replied to MigBuster's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters Series News
Exactly my thoughts ... as I said in the other thread, having only the original exes, and then having to scramble to find the patches to bring it current, I'd decieded to repurchase the ENTIRE series again. Now this comes out; and yes I'm probably even more broke-ass then most. But I will be finding the 100 bucks and investing it in this. This not only saves time, but overall saves a substantial bit of coin. It's a great bargin, and well worth it. IMHO- 46 replies

SF2 all in one release
Wrench replied to logan4's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
Still, I believe a worthwhile investment. After having had an HD crash last December, and having to rebuild from the original release exes, and then running around like a lunatic trying to collect all the patches, finding out you've lost a few DLC exes... yeah, 100 bucks US; be good to have the whole set archived for such emergencies -

when I ran the animations in Mue's Viewer, it seemed REALLY odd the gears each had their own. this is great Russ!! Many thanks! I also found hiding in my KAW mods folder, Fast Cargo's (uncompleted) F-84B/C Thunderjets from 2010. Seem like they just need skinning & FM work -
anyone else notice the TBD's parked on the US carrier? Even if only CGI might be the first time they've shown up in film since 1941's "Dive Bomber" (find it if you've never seen it -- it's in COLOR!!)

It represents the 36th FBS, 51st FG if said unit had been equipped with Jugs during the Korean War. It is to be applies to V.2 of Russ's Jug. If you don't have it, You can find Version 2.0 of Russ' P-47N at the following URL: https://combatace.com/files/file/13202-p-47n-157z/ The aircraft is painted in "silver lacquer" and carries the same style of tail markings as seen on their Real Life (tm) F-80C Shooting Stars used in Korea. All new serial and buzz number decals were created. The serials, while generic in nature, are correct for the late model P-47Ns. Decal randomization is TRUE. Let it be known that the SF2 Date Switch is =NOT= used on this skin*. A new more "chewed up looking" damage tga is also included. When in-game, on the Loadout Screen's Skin Selection Dropdown window, you'll see: 36th FBS (What-If, KAW 1950) Remember, you'll have to change the skin for all members in your flight. Once upon a time, there was a 1stGen version of this aircraft/skin that I did (mid 2000s???) but it dosen't seem to exist in the CA downloads anymore. So, this is a full replacement. If any of you End Users (tm) still have it, you are instructed to delete both the original skin and decals.

good enough! btw, I reinstalled Max 2009, and the max file I have may not be the full aircraft. Only parts show up. Mind you, I can barely work it enough to OPEN the file!! (yah, I suck at that!!) -
F100 Super Saber ripple Qt and Int?
Wrench replied to MarcQ's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
there's no drag chutes on any stock 3W aircraft. So... there you go ** ripple and interval are modeled (extract and look at the cockpit ini) for the "standard" Hun (no year suffix) it's: [CockpitData] Directory=cockpit HUDMode=CAGED,AA,AG RippleQuantity=1,2,4,6,8,10 RippleInterval=60,100,140 probably the same for the A, C and other Ds Check you key binding assignments, as they are set in the Default.ini (in the /Controls folder). Below is off of mine: NEXT_RIPPLE_QUANTITY=JOYSTICK01_BUTTON08 PREV_RIPPLE_QUANTITY=SHIFT+RBRACKET NEXT_RIPPLE_INTERVAL=JOYSTICK01_BUTTON06 PREV_RIPPLE_INTERVAL=SHIFT+LBRACKET (CH 568 CombatStick) To change or at least check ... ----> Options --> Controls ** oddly, there IS a key bind for it. So, maybe it was planned at some point???? -
