Hit box adjustments...
Wrench replied to Wrench's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - World War II Forum
Menrva, which, in particular are of concern?? A lot of the transport planes (usually!) aren't in a combat zone (well, we all know that's NOT really true). I'm dealing with 3rd party add ons. Give me a list and I'll see what can be done Truer words! Sometimes it takes longer to dial in say, fuel cells in the fuselage & wings to make sure they're INSIDE the structure than anything else (case in point: the Me-262 -- was all kinds of messed up!!) -

Hit box adjustments...
Wrench replied to Wrench's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - World War II Forum
I base the min/max off the bounding boxes, then the collision point (hit box?) off the bounding box, and adjust as necessary. Especially for tail draggers, that only have a single "fuselage" mesh -- this reinforces the absolute NEED for 3d modelers to break up the fuselage mesh into "nose", "fuselage", and "tail". The same thing with wings, they must be cut into an inner and outer set. when I was flight testing the Ventura after the box adjustments, the damn thing crashed due to the "tail" damage because the HB was too far down. Yup, it's collision points that really mess me up! -
A-A missiles with flares and or lights?
Wrench replied to Stratos's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
Here's what I have for my X-4. Test and see how it works: the major problem is, in game you can't have an wire guided* A-A missile, so it reverts to being IR guided, with growl *nor any other type. this was tested and tested and restes in the early 2000s when these were "popular". Nothing else seems to work. -
Anyone that's ever seen this movie will know the reference of this thread title (which I"m sure I spelled wrong..) Afficianodos of aviation films will appriciate this lost little gem from Hollywood. I'm talking about 1948's "FIghter Squadron", staring actors and, most importantly, P-47 Thunderbolts. If you've never seen it, take the time. The flying sequences are worth it (both the archival combat footage and the 'new' shots for the film. It's never been released on video (tape or disc) that I know of...but someone uploaded the full movie to YouTube. Enjoy!

moved to a more appropriate forum. to the answer the question, not that many remain. 3rd Wire for the various DLC packages (well worth the money, and they're inexpensive!) CombatAce (of course!! and the best) Capun's site (good luck with that!) yakarov has a place for his helos -- https://strikechoppers.wordpress.com/ -

with cockpits, one could re-add the moved items, back where they came from. But that was in SF1. In SF2, it might not work. BTW, just looking at the heirarchy, you wouldn't be trying to do the 'remove bits' to a ground object, would you?. AFAIK, that dosen't work (at least not when I've tried it) -

yes, that's the "parent mesh". Unfortunately, it'll remove all the "child" meshes as well -

Parking issue
Wrench replied to ludo.m54's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
also the "parkingchance=" percentages. If you lower them, they won't generate as many large birds on the ramps. the best solution, of course, would be to rebuild all 6 airfield's inis, using Mue's Target Area Editor, and move the large parking slots based upon the largest aircraft available (both in length and wingspan). -
I tell this to everyone going to Las Vegas: Check the timetables at Nellis AFB. (way back when =1990s early 2000s=) it used to be Tuesdays and Thursdays (iirc) you could take tours of the T-Bird's facility. It's WELL worth it!!
