Artillery random target selection
Wrench replied to quack74's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
odd, because I've seen arty duels on both the ASW and one of the Isreal rebuilds (can't remember if it's IME or the Suez map). on the ASW map, down at Brownsville, I placed batteries on both sides of the border, and they shoot at each other (mind you, there ARE "buildings" on both side for the "army base") I believe this is how it works -
XvT/BoP Imperial Operation: Gathering the Remnant
Wrench posted a topic in Star Wars File Announcements
File Name: XvT/BoP Imperial Operation: Gathering the Remnant File Submitter: Wrench File Submitted: 16 April 2017 File Category: Star Wars Games XvT/BoP Imperial Operation: Gathering the Remnant 4/16/2017 This is the 14th set of a total of 20 mission sets/TODs that cover the time from from just before the Battle of Yavin, to after the Fall of the Empire. The Empire has fallen! In this set, surviving Loyalists under the command of the leader of the Secret Order are trying to gather other forces and collect information as to what has happened, and IS happening in the Core sectors (Coruscant) of what once was Imperial space. You will be tasked with protecting Imperial assets, and collecting whatever is available to allow your forces to escape the "New Republic" and form a new base of operations. What the future holds for those loyal to The Empire, is not knowable at this time. These are to be used/placed into your ...Balance of Power/Combat folder. All missions have been edited for fairness & balance (hopefully!), due the the enhanced AI and weapons effectivness in XvT/BoP. All have new briefings and descriptions. I've added LOTS of radio messages to act as "in game hints" and to further plot lines. Please pay attention to them, as some may save your life or your mission critical craft. Also, when possible, other craft in the mission can be selected for Player use, or for multi-player. As always, =PLEASE= read the install instructions. Of course, the usual "Notes" and other nonesense. Please note that this mission set WILL require one or another of the available Ship/Craft Patches.

Strangely painted buildings ans trange trees.

I have to go with CL's estimation. but in reality, like Menrva said, wrong skin for the TOD (aka "Solid Object Texture =") in the tile listing -
F-104 Gee Whiz

the 104S-ASA-M may have. I'd have to dig out my Zipper books and triple check. But "the usual sources" are (predictalby) vague on the subject -

Wrench replied to yubba's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Sci-Fi/Anime/What If Forum
too lazy to search for yourself, eh?? OK then....here's a listing for JUST the SF1/Wo* series: the original release 12/2006 http://combatace.com/files/file/1439-f-104s/ my 104S-ASA-M mod pack, 7/2007 http://combatace.com/files/file/4893-f-104s-asa-m-starfighter-mods/ spilone104's full 104S series mod pack, 5/2010 http://combatace.com/files/file/10940-f-104s-mod-pack/ so, by my calculations (albeit from Los Angeles School System's mathematics...), 2006 to 2017 is "more than ten years". anything else that need clarifications? -

NF-104A Problem
Wrench replied to XxxSTARFIGHTERxxX's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
try this data in below (backup your original first) the FM is still "as stock" F-104G, with all the improvements as set by the 7/13 patch level. So, some adjustments to top speed and altitude may be needed (although I did copy those sections from the original. btw, the link posted by yubba would be useless for SF2, as the physical models (the LOD) are completely different in "how" things are attached from SF1 to SF2. -
NF-104A Problem
Wrench replied to XxxSTARFIGHTERxxX's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
because the data ini is outdated, and need to be replaced with a more recent one. loadout ini should be checked and/or adjusted to make sure no tanks are "installed". -
Skin problem
Wrench replied to tiopilotos's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
yes, the name of the "new" skin must have EXACTLY the same number of characters as the original, to fit into the EXACT same space in the LOD's callout -

XvT/BoP Imperial Operation: The Fall Begins
Wrench replied to Wrench's topic in Star Wars File Announcements
Thanks! I was hoping for some comments on these sets! there are some that are tougher, in upcoming sets. I've had to 'dumb down' Alliance forces to even give the Imperials half a chance!!!! (example: 1 missile boat against 1 ISD, 2 ESC, 1 INT, and multiple wave of fighters - of ALL types! Still haven't successfully finished that one!) -
that is freeking AWESOME!!!!

AWACS antenna
Wrench replied to strahi's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
there was one the Mirage Factory did, to stick on top of C-130. It should be hiding in one of the weapons pack, iirc. I'll look around, and see if I still have it archived someplace -
hmmm.....I'm not sure on the "object size" being 63%. I know the terrain (maps) are. I'd always thought the objects were 'real life' sized (or near enough)? Mue's measurements of truck seem to confirm that. in the image below, the footprint for the stock SF objects is stated (meters). What I don't remember is, what the grid below spacing is

what about classics, like "Wings" (1927) or both versions of "The Dawn Patrol" ? (1930 & 1938) Not to forget "Hell's Angels" (1930??)
