dosen't the ALT key allow rotation in all directions?

maybe it's been many, many years. oth, I don't remember there EVER being a bomb release sound "attachable" to a bomb (going all the way back to 2003 when they 1st came out)

I believe it might be set for the weapons themselves

It'd be my suggestion (a suggestion ONLY!) that at some point, the new lods SHOULD be added to the original download packages. I know it's a real pain in the ass (tm), but in later days, some folks might not be clued in enough to know to go find them. I'd also suggest uploading the updated LODs as a unit, maybe into the "Objects Mods" section BTW, great job on these! Congrats to all!

View File Hawaii, WW2 Hawaiian Islands Terrain -- For SF/WoV/WoE WW2 PTO installs = For Game Installs -ONLY- patched to the 10/2006 level!!! = This is an entirely NEW terrain, representing the Territory of Hawaii on the morning of 7 December, 1941..... You MUST have ALL the Pacific Objects (ground units, ships, AAA, infantry, etc) already installed in you PTO version of the game; otherwise things won't be appearing. This is especially important for the ships -- More in the "Notes" section below. This is a COMPLETE terrain, with (almost) everything needed to just unzip, and fly over. All the tiles, inis, terrain objects, and a whole SLEW of new GroundObjects are included!!! The data ini has been upgraded to the latest standards. Water effects are active, so Vista users beware...more information for you is below in the Install Instructions. See "Notes for Vista Users". For those perverts that won't listen and absolutely INSIST on trying to run WW2 items in the post 9/08-10/08 SF/WoV/WoE and WoI environments, I've provided a 'post-patch-Hawaii_Data.ini', that includes all the updated terrain effects. More info for you all can be found in the "Notes & Other Nonesense" section below. Also, it should be noted the HM bmps for the various tiles are included; these are the ones I've repainted black, to create a smoother terrain. = MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THE LATEST, WW2 NATIONS INI IN YOUR FLIGHT FOLDER = == MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THE LATEST WW2 FORMATIONS INI IN YOUR FLIGHT FOLDER == === MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THE LATEST WEAPONS PAK FOR THE WW2 WEAPONS!! === It has been tested in pre-patch SF, WoV and WoE, using their cats pointed to in the main ini. As the new objects will be residing directly in the terrain folder, you should have no problems. (see the CombatAce Knowledge Base for the tutorial on using the cat pointer line). It has NOT, however, been tested in post 8/29/08 patch WoI, NOR in post-patch (9/08 & 10/08) SF/WoV/WoE. But should work with minimal problems, as long as one of the original terrain folders (SF/WoV/WoE) is residing in you WW2 WoI install. You do, however, use this in these environments at YOUR own risk -- any problems you have, you're on your own...no support is availabe from me, as it's NOT reccomended (due to FM issues in the aircraft) for those usages. I HAVE actually tested this in a post-patch WoI WW2 Install that I have, and other then the expected FM issues, it runs just fine!! Albeit with a little fiddling with the water issues... This has NOT been tested in SF2 ... if you DO get a WW2 Era Specific Install up and running, let us know! Follow these instructions herein =EXACTLY= and you should have no problems. It is HIGHLY reccomended that you read the install instructions all the way through FIRST before performing the procedure. Just to be safe, ya know?? As always, unzip this to a temp folder somwhere, and you'll have access to the rest of the readme for it's instructions. = It should be noted here, that this Terrain is for WW2 usage ONLY -- if you attempt to fly modern jets from it, you will fail, as there are NO runways equipped to handle them. = As always, unzip this to a temp folder somwhere, and you'll have access to the rest of the readme for it's instructions Good Luck, Good Hunting & Happy Landings!

I wouldn't mind going to Denmark and checking it out. just saying ....

sure looks like a model to me ... look at the shadows, the grass and other vegetation, the sheen/shine one the bird itself. and, honestly, why the hell would the Danes need a folding winged Meatbox? ---

Can't wait either! without giving too much away, the last episode of Season 2, had me in a cold sweat ... it was that close and powerful. A huge Well Done to the cast and crew for that! For those that haven't ever read it, I DO reccomend the book, even though the series is somewhat different.

for those that haven't see the video on Facebook, or even heard of this -- and I hadn't until this morning! -- this is the website for a complete facelift of the XWing game http://www.moddb.com/mods/xwvm

not to worry... if you didn't get the reference, Google "Hammer's Slammers"

Colonel Alois Hammer was not pleased...

it's a simple copy and paste. You can copy over the entire mods folder with no issues (done it many times). As long as the exes and all the 'core files' remain in their correct C:\Program Files (x86)\ThirdWire\Strike Fighters 2 place

I have no plans to do so. however, it works (as well as it can) in my SF2 PTO mods folder, with the "standard data ini edits" to add the SF2 shader statments. It does, however need the _water bmp for CV generations. I have one, if want it.

DAT's Blackhawks, right? in the data ini, find the Rotor diameter spec, and reduce to 6 meters (iirc) it's a known issue (from the early 2000s)

nope

Included are: Data ini (many changes/corrections) "main ini" (rearranged skin sequence - JG.26 is now the first one) new damage tgas (that looks better) loadout ini (now carries belly tank always by default on A-A missions) "Box Art" hangar screen For a full list of changes, corrections and adjustments, see below in the "Notes" section. A backup copy of the original data ini is included, but I forgot to backup the 'main' ini. You might want to do so before installing this package. As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. So, please =READ= them BEFORE installing this mod!!!. Also, give the "Notes" section a read too. Happy Hunting!

exhaust flare: see my post above (now on page one)

Here's another one I found a few weeks back, it covers most of the variants. Has some great line drawings, too fw_190a_general-info.pdf

I talked to Fubar, and he's going to look for it. Can't remember where he put (happens with us old folks!! ) Be paitent, and with luck we'll have it

Pal, I suggest you cool the fuck down -- those comments were exceedingly uncalled for. Yes, the readme could have been more specific, and yes, the FakePilot (tm) was missing from the mods package. But your comments are way out of line. Without Jarek's work, we wouldn't have these birds, except for payware and (unavailable) memberware (DAT). So, take a step back and chill out. This thread is done.

are we talking about exhaust flares? From the exhaust stacks? that's a been done thing -- was attempted around 2006 or so and it never quite worked out, so it was given up upon. now, if we're talking about the black powder ejection seat, that's a different story

be advised, I didn't change a whole lot when it was released a million year ago

why not simplify matters, and just package it up (after checking the Freeware Listings), upload to the "What If" section. saves everyone a shitload of time and effort

not in the north there wasn't
