View File SF2 Mystere 4A (AJ) Pack SF2 Mystere 4A (AJ) Pack 5/31/2024 -For SF2, Any and All-(Full 5 Merged Suggested ) -Another 1stGen Salvage Operation- This is a rebuild of Ajundair's 1st Gen Dassault Mystere IVA, as used by the French, Israeli and Indian Air forces from the 1950s through the 1970s. As this mod references a stock cockpit, SF2:I and/or SF2:E are REQUIRED (or a full 5 Merged, of course!). This mod is set up and labeled to cause NO conflicts with the Mystere IVA available from within the game (Third Wire) or any mods of the stock bird that may exist. Skins remain in their original bmp format. Most markings are decals, with the exception of the fuselage color bands on some of the NMF skins. Decal Randomization is TRUE. All necessary items are provided, decals, weapons, pilots, sounds, and so forth. Some you've probably got already. If I missed any, PLEASE let me know and I'll get it fixed. The canopy operates with the Standard Animations Keystroke (tm), Shift/0 (zero) The aircraft is supplied with a number skins for the varying Air Forces: France: EC 1/5 Vendee (<1955) EC 2/8 Languedoc (61-82) - both in NMF Israel: No.101 Sqnd "First Fighter" (<1955 NMF) No.101 Sqdn "First Fighter" (NMF, w/Red Stripe <58) No.116 Sqdn "Flying Wing" (Blue/Brown Camo <61) No.116 Sqdn "Flying Wing" (3-tone <69) India: "Indian Silver" (standard NMF <1957) As indicated, the SF2 "date switch" is active. The IDF/AF 2-tone is a brand new skin, as it had never been created for the original release (2004-ish) The IDF/AF 3-tone late camo is a "rebuilt" skin, as the original had the wrong colors. All other skins have had a least some minor repainting. The Indian AF skin does =NOT= break the serials down into their respective squadrons, nor are there any squadron 'nose art' badges. Consider them generic in nature, although the serials are ALL historically correct. When in-game, on the Aircraft Selection Drop down you'll see: Mystere IVA (AJ) So you can't mistake it for anything other than what it is. This will also diferentiate THIS one from the 3W Mysetere IVA that's stock in game. This includes NOT conflicting with the superb skin/ini pack that PauloPanz did some year back (reccomended!!!!). As stated above, this mod makes use of the STOCK 3rd Wire cockpit from it's MyIVA, but I've left in the originial F-86 cockpit (with some mods) and it's inis from 2004. It's also been updated to add any missing bits. The template I made is also included. It's "medium rez", in 1024x. Make of it what you will. As always fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them. All original readmes, when discoverable, are included. The 'Change Log' is, of course, in the Notes section below. Good Hunting & Happy Landings! Wrench Kevin Stein Submitter Wrench Submitted 05/31/2024 Category Mystere IV  

It's just a mystery to me ....

that's fine! my apologies for being HUA the last few weeks.

This is a REALLY fun anime! D&D meets modern weapons* and such. If you can find the full episodes, either dubbed or subbed, watch them!!! Here's one of the best scenes *F-4EJs against Dragons!!*

actually, for a LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG time. AFAIK, there is NO TMF/MM Mark 5 Spit. There's a mk 9 that's never been finished.

(though you won't see this for a day...) when the game is started for the 1st time, it automatically creates the Mods folder. It's just called that; I don't remember why (been a few million years). It's always ALWAYS in the /SaveGames folder under you User ID. That's just how SF2 works. If you look for, you will find it!!

Version 2 uploaded. For that 18 of you that d/led the 1st version, you'll need this new one to replace it. My aplolgies to all; just proved that I'm still hooman!!! thank you, and happy landing!

View File SF2 TMF Mirage 5F Pack SF2 TMF Mirage 5F Pack 5/22/2024 Updated 5/24/24, v2.0 -For SF2, Any and All-(Full 5 Merged Suggested) This is a NEW aircraft, based on an pre-existing TMF aircraft LOD, used to (re)create the Mirage 5F fighter-bomber as used by the French Air Force. To let you all know, no "official" 5F was ever created and relased by TMF. So, consider this an "un-official" version <gr>! This mod is set up and labeled to cause NO conflicts with the Mirage 5F available from within the game (Third Wire) or any others that may exist. Skins remain in their original bmp format. Most markings are decals, with the exception of the AdA Rudder tri-color bands on the NMF skin. Decal Randomization is TRUE. All necessary items are provided, serial number decals, weapons, pilots, seats, sounds, effects, and so forth. Some, you've probably got already. If I missed any, PLEASE let me know and I'll get it fixed. The canopy operates with the Standard Animations Keystroke (tm), Shift/0 (zero) The aircraft is supplied with 2 skins for EC 3/13 Auvergne: NMF (start date=1) Euro Camo (<1975) As indicated, the SF2 "date switch" is active. When in-game, on the Aircraft Selection Drop down you'll see: Mirage 5F (TMF) So you can't mistake it for anything other than TMF Birds (tm). This will also diferentiate THIS one from the 3W 5F that's stock in game, but is AI only. On that note, the supplied cockpit (by BPAO & Crusader) was originally designed for use with the 3W AI Mirage 5F in 2017. For those wishing to do so, I've supplied the needed inis, and the instructional read-me. They are in a folder within the main aircraft folder. Ya can't miss it! <gr>. As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them. All original readmes, when discoverable, are included. The 'Change Log' is, as always, in the Notes section below. Good Hunting & Happy Landings!

that's not the mod folder, that's the CORE install. Look under your saved games folder. Note the pathway in my image I posted above. (on a side note, interesting to see the panes shifted to the right. never seen a comp in Hebrew before; which I can't even read anymore!)

yes, but then you'd have to deal with them EELS. Fact

the other question would be (and even I forgot it...) is the aircraft controlable???

somebody asks that question about once a year, since the game came out in 2003. Short answer is no. Long answer, not worth the time and effort to attempt.

within your Mods folder, you'll find the /Controls sub-folder (my example below)

maybe there's an issue with the controller itself? Try calibrating it through Windows control panel . Rename or remove (renaming is better) the existing Control.ini, and let the game generate a new one after you reassign the buttons in game that's all I can think of!

I like to fly, up in the sky, like bird, very high...lalalalaa!!! (and yes, I really am losing it!!!!

View File SF2 TMF Mirage3C EC 3/10 Vexin Skin Pack SF2 TMF Mirage3C EC 3/10 Vexin Skin Pack 5/21/2024 -For SF2, Any and All- This here is a "new" skin for The Mirage Factory's Mirage IIIC, representing EC 3/10 Vexin in 2-tone desert camoflague, as they appeared during the Chad/Libyan war, based in Djbouti. EC 3/10 was the last unit in the AdA to use the Mirage III. I've given it a start date of 1984, so the 'SF2 Date Switch' will turn it on then. You can find the TMF Mirage IIIC at the following url: https://combatace.com/files/file/18208-sf2-tmf-mirage-iiic-ada-upgraderemod-pack/ Reminder: this is for the IIIC =ONLY!!!=, NOT the IIICi!! Almost all marking are decals, and decal randomization is TRUE. The skin remains in it's original bmp format. A skin specific Hangar screen was created just for this mod. Also included, are updated Data and loadout inis, containing Crusader's animation fix for the intake shock cones, and a small weapons twerk. I'd suggest backing up your originals, as a "CYA" measure. When 'in game', on the Loadout screen, unit selection drop down, you'll see: EC 3/10 Vexin (<1984 Desert) Although, wherever your flying it WILL turn on automaticlly. As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them. All original readmes, when discoverable, are included. Happy Landings!

It's in for repairs right now, as I was informed I'd made some errors, both in forgetting the model builder and uploader for the cockpit (corrected in the read me now) but it needs to use barracuda and phimat pods on the outer stations, and I'm jiggering around the hardpoints and groups. Hopefully, back up by week's end. I hope!!

Normally, I'd post this in the regular WIP thread, but as I want opinions and options (and maybe help), I'm doing a new thread. ( What I've done is, take the Nesher LOD and convert it to the Mirage 5F that eventually is used by the AdA. Yes, I do know there's a AI-only 3W version. But I"d like to have a TMF one for everyone. Has the right shape, with the pitot tube under the nose. Also has all the "correct" hardpoints, and I've even found and used a proper cockpit (also TMF -- thanks to BPAO and Crusader). Unfortunately, it has 2 extra blade antennas; one of the spine the other under the nose. I've been able to remove the lower unit, but for some unknowable reason the upper one refueses to disappear!! Using Mue's fantastic LOD viewer, I was easily able to ID the 2 meshes. Below are the statements for the 'remove component' trick and yes, I double checked spelling for the meshes, and numerical sequencing for the component listing! Shoot, I even switched them around just to be sure "tacan" is the upper antenna, "objet03" is the lower. You can see in the picture below, the lower unit has vanished. So, the questions are: anyone have any other ideas? I'll be glad to send the bird over for examination if it can't be fixed, would you all accept it "as is"? Right now, everything works (even the RWR) thanks!

"I'd gladly pay you Tuesday, for a hamburger today"

the game engine (tm) likes things seprete. we've had several (very) old mods that have things all mapped together, and it's caused nothing be grief

yup, that sure did work!! the secondary tacan fins are/were the 2 flat features on the fin. I always thought they were some kind of stabalizer goodie!! again, thanks brothers!! I owe you both a beer!! and, of course, you'll be 'mentioned in dispatches' in the readme!!
