MiG-17AS Fresco-A, Fuerza Aérea Revolucionara = For SF2, (Hopefully, For Any and All with Access to the MiG-17 Fresco-A) This is a re-packaging of the MiG-17AS, (iirc) by Starfighter2, as used by the Cuban Air Force. His original readme is also included, for you history buffs. As the FAR were the only users of the 17AS, this is a 'nationalized' version; both the _data.ini and Userlist.ini reflect this. It makes use of (almost) all stock items, in particular the Fresco-A's lod. So make sure the plane-jane MiG-17 (no suffix letter) is available in your game install. In a pinch, you can edit the main ini to point to the MiG-17F lods, as they are mapped identically (don't forget to rename the skin maps to match the 17F's). A slightly revamped/repainted version of the "F6 Pylon" pak has been included for the outboard Atoll mounts. The skin is a base natural metal, with a partly repainted (from a partial template) tail bmp to add the FAR rudder flash. New Bort number decals have been created for the approx 40 used by the FAR (*note: this number of aircraft may have also included standard Fresco-A and Fresco-C). These numbers are 'best guess', as only a few listings had been found during my research. The font used is also the closest match I could find. The cockpit is Ordway's Mig Pit. The avionics ini has been 'tweeked' to add the radar ranging gunsight. A new 'generic' MiG-17 Hangar screen is included (albeit with Soviet markings on the aircraft). The canopy has also been activated via a manual animation key (use shift/0 to open and close it) As always, please READ the enclosed 'readme' for full, detailed install instructions. Good Hunting!

Mue's Tool Box is beyond awesome!! The Lod viewer alone is worth it's weight in gold-pressed latnium when working on new aircraft. yes, the SF1 original infantry squads have a "destroyed model" of scattered dead dudes. I guess I've just watched too many zombie movies and tv shows!! -
Having issues with terrains
Wrench replied to Tarnfalk's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
to reiterate, there really ISN'T such a thing a a "seperate" install. . . ALL THE SF2 SERIES USES THE SAME CORE FILES LOCATED IN THE /PROGRAM FILES (X86) SECTION. ALL THE DLLS, CATS, EXES, ETC ARE LOCATED THERE. What you have as "seperate installs" are actually the Mods folders, created by the individual executables, and located in the /Users/Saved Games. . . folder ABOVE the C drive (look at my screen shots above). So, you have all 5 SF2 games? Which means you DO have SF2 (the basic, plain one, with the Desert terrain)? You can select this terrain to fly on?? Let's try this -- copy/paste the text into a response here, of the EXACT instructions you used to install the terrain, from it's read me. AND...give us a screen capture of the folder structure of you mods folder (just like mine above.) also, taking a closer look at your original post's screen caps, I'm not even SEEING a mods folder in the directory tree -

Types.ini entries for Geezer's objects
Wrench replied to Heck's topic in Thirdwire - First Eagles 1&2
you forgot to add the DestroyedEffect statements to some items... Since I'm such a ghoul *, I like to use the "VehicleFireEffect" for ah, well, people and such. For the destroyed model, you can use either the original figure, or change it to one of the crater lods. (is there a 'small crater' in FE/FE2?) but good work on this listing! * being polite -- I've been called a sick f**k a few time about this!! -
The difference between ANSI formatting of the LOD or Unicode formatting of the LOD. 1stGens can't see Unicode LODs.. SF2 is Unicode, but reads both. FE2, iirc, also used unicode for the stock lods. 3rd party users (may) have the choice when exporting to use either. What I"m not sure of, is the "latest" TW Exported for MAX still give you that option. (never got mince set up!) in any case, these China Skies birds look awesome!

any chance for the 190A series??? The one's we have, are from 2005, and are badly in need of updating!! these look GREAT! Can't wait to add them to my ETO mods folder!

Need SF1 Sea Fury FM Help
Wrench replied to Geary's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
Give this a try. I've included a 'backed up" copy of the data ini, so you don't have to save yours. I also took the liberty of resetting all the hit boxes, and gave it new engine sound. While the Napier Sabre isn't perfect, it's the closest we have the Centarus (I've heard a real one in a Sea Fury at an airshow in Chino many years ago, and it's pretty quite for big radial!) what I don't remember is, if 1stGens can use the /Pilots sub folder in /Objects main folder. There's a FakePilot (tm) antenna included, so do whatever! You can always edit the data ini, and remove it. It's listed in the //Crew section of the data ini sea fury fixes.7z -

SF2 MLD PV-2 Harpoon Skin Set
Wrench posted a topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - File Announcements
View File SF2 MLD PV-2 Harpoon Skin Set SF2 MLD PV-2 Harpoon Skin Pack 9/5/2017 = For SF2 (Full 5 Merged RECCOMENDED) = This package contains a new skin for Veltro2k's Lockheed PV-2 Harpoon naval patrol bomber. This skin/decal set represents the 18 as used by the Royal Netherlands Naval Air Service (Marineluchtvaartdienst) or MLD. The MLD recieved 18 Harpoon in 1950, and were used in the Martime Recon, and Search & Rescue until their replacement by P2V Neptunes in the early 1960s. The skin is in jpg format, in overall "Dark Gloss Navy Blue" finish. All markings are decals, and decal randomization is TRUE. Displayed serial numbers are 100% historically correct for the aircraft depicted, as used by the MLD. Also included is the updated (and a backup copy) of the data ini for those that have not updated their WW2 versions. If you've done so, you need not install these 2 files (they're the same as in the update pack, so no harm will come if you do). You will still need the aircraft itself, available at the following URL: https://combatace.com/files/file/15018-ww2-pto-pv-2-harpoon-package/ As always, unzip this to a temp folder or your desktop, and you'll have access to the rest of the readme for the install instructions. *Please note, that even though the aircraft is WW2 vintage, THIS use is Cold War, which is why it's been placed here* Happy Landings!
