Landing gear adjustments
Wrench replied to Tommy2Fast's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
it's the rolling radius. Increase by 0.10 increments and TEST IN GAME AFTER EVERY ADJUSTMENT!!!! BE ADVISED -- sometime adjusting will cause major issues with the AI handling on the ground, pulling to right or left, dragging, etc -
love those original 30's shots. Northrup, Hawthorne, CA? (I drive past the original plant at Hawthorne Airport twice a week! Where The Wing first flew from)

For RussoUK Bf-109E series. Data inis for the following ETO used variants: Bf-109E-3 Bf-109E-4 Bf-109E-7 please note, the E-7 does not have the Baff FM. It's "'as issued"" from some year ago. The others have a Baff FM, as far as I know ww2_russo_bf109e.7z -
Reversing Decal Order?
Wrench replied to daddyairplanes's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
TK set them up for 000 to whatever. Never been able to go backward. Of course, you can always make copies, and number them in reverse OTH, if one looks at the Hunters for example, you'll see they repeat after a time (can't remember exaclty) but going 33 --> 00 can't be done -
SF2 Upgrade Pack For Western Transports, Airliners and AWACs by Veltro2K

View File SF2 Upgrade Pack For Western Transports, Airliners and AWACs by Veltro2K SF2 Upgrade Pack For Western Transports, Airliners and AWACs by Veltro2K 6/1/2018 = For SF2, Any/All (Full 5 Merged RECCOMENDED!) = This is a remod pack for Veltro2k's Western/NATO Transport, Airliner and AWAC aircraft. This package =ONLY= contains the data inis for the aircraft listed below. You will still need to locate the original aircraft. It is highly suggested (read: REQUIRED) that you have SF2NA as part of your merged installs, as several of these reference the stock 3W Tu-95 Bear destroyed model. Some reference the stock 3W An-12, Tu-16 or B-52D (SF2V) destroyed models as well. Flight Models remain "as issued"; they've not been touched by me. All New Data Inis Included in this pack are for: C-5A Galaxy C-17 Globemaster II C-141A Starlifter C-141B Starlifter G-222/C-27 Spartan E-767 KC-767 (KC-46) Nimrod MR.1 (RAF ASW/Martime Patrol) Br.1150 Atlantique (ASW/Martime Patrol) PB-1W Navy Fortress (USN 1940s/50s AEW - B-17) DC-8 * B-747 Pan Am"Jumbo Jet" *The DC-8 mods are for the package by Daddyairplanes* All aircraft have had their data inis reworked to correct, add, move, remove or generally "fix" all the hit boxes, relocate components (ie: fuel tanks, as best as possible inside the airframe) and in general clean up many things that simply escaped notice. The exception here is the Pan Am 747, which gets a partly repainted skin, with all new 100% accurate civil registration number decals (18) AND their matching "Clipper" names. Decal Randomization is "TRUE". The 747 and DC-8s also get an avionics upgrade (GM radar). Some sounds are included; you may have them alread, or not; but I like "to be sure". Please note, some of these aircraft may NOT be in the SF2 downloads section; one will need to Search the SF1/Wo* (1stGen) downloads. Equally important, is to HAVE the aircraft installed =BEFORE= installing this Upgrade Pack. Kinda makes sense, right? <gr> 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. Happy Landings!

I'd forgotten to add the Crusader Bombsight mod, AND forgot the include the PB4Y-1 (USN B-24D ETO) version. My apologies, you'll have to re-download the zip file below ww2_v2k_b24_tweeks.7z -

if it's the package by Do-335, that's basicly the correct terrain (Korea3) IIRC, he made a few small changes. It's the one to use -

This pack contains data inis for Cocas' Gloster Gladiator and Sea Gladiator ( Yes, the SeaGlad is carrier operational.

New Su-34 Production Thread
Wrench replied to UllyB's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
be sure to make sure the model is broken into enough meshes .. nose, fuselage, tail, r/l vert fins, r/l stabs and most important, inner and outer wing meshes. Vitally imperative for damage modeling (and decaling) -
Late marks Seafires
Wrench replied to amariani's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
you should see the whole series -- Hunters, Merlin Spits, Meteor,, 2 for the Bf-109, Beaufighter .. and so on. I just wish some of the scans were "sharper". Sometimes hard to read the factory diagrams included in the books -

Veltro's B-17. Reminder: these are ETO only!! B-17E B-17F B-17G Fortress IIA (RAF, CC) I've also taken the liberty of adding Crusader's bomb sight mod. While I'm not for having Player Flyable bombers (tm), we all do it. It's just that the game engine has serious issues with formations (2 A/C) and giving orders to wingmates (game lockup/crashing). But for girns and giggles, here it is. Cursader's readme is inside each of the aircraft's main folders. It gives "instruction on how to bomb". Good time to take them out and practice on the new WW2 Allied Bombing Range, eh?? It is easily de-activated by a few text edits ww2_v2k_b17_tweeks.7z -
Need to know: who built these aircraft ???
Wrench replied to Wrench's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
I have the planes (didn't look in my archives for the zips/rars). Just didn't have the readme(s) Your download date would be right -- the LOD is dated Jaunary, 2009! this is what I wanted! Thanks Allen!! So, I guess after I do the "regular" dudes (simple ini uploads, excepting the Tu-104 which gets a partial repanting and NEW call number/registration decals), I'll take a jump on these other Bears -
While going over our Soviet Heavies, and updating/upgrading/correcting/fixing their various component names and hit boxes, I've come across 3 types of Bears that I can't ID the source creator. The base model (LOD) is obviously Velro's Tu-95MK (as called "Tu-95MK.LOD") as also used on his own Tu-95MS, but can't find who did these other Bears... Tu-95MS-6 Tu-95MS-16 Tu-95MSM I suspect they're old Lindr mods, but haven't found them in either SF1/Wo* or SF2 downloads (unless I'm Blinder* then usual). So, any help/confirmation would be appriciated! TIA! wrench (* see what I did there??? <grin>
