F-89 Scorpion Pak for SF2 6/4/2010 -- Version 2, 3/3/2016 -- This package includes the full set of F-89 Scorpions, from MontyCZ's original C & D version, PLUS the variant mods I'd created, giving the H, J (Early) and J (Late). The various readmes for the sub-variants are included in their specific aircraft folder, just for historical purposes. This package has been peaked and tweeked for use in SF2 =ONLY=, and is NOT designed for use on SF/Wo* series 1st Gen sims. It makes use of certain elements found ONLY, and usable ONLY, in SF2. Everything is included -aircraft, inis, skins, decals, weapons, pilots. =EXCEPT= a cockpit. Due to changes in SF2's internal coding, these aircraft now make use of the stock in-game F-4B via ini edits that through sorcery now reach back into the cat files, and create usable cockpits without the need of a cockpit folder. How this works, I don't know or care; but that it =does= is a wonderful thing!! On such aircraft that have operating canopies (those that use the F-89D lod), the canopy works via the Standard Manual Animation Keystroke , shift/0. This package is designed to REPLACE the original set, and will drop right over it, providing you have it already. If you don't, no worries! Just install as normal. As always the standard, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. Please READ them! Good Hunting! Wrench Kevin Stein Version 2: See "Change Log" in the readme -

Interesting finds for reducing load times and decreasing crashes in windows 10
Wrench replied to Spudknocker's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
the old 1stGen trick was similar, excepting you moved the ***.cat file into the terrain folder in question, and then renamed it to match the terrain's name. odd that Winge10 is now case sensitive to inis residing in particular folders, as I would more believe THAT to be more related to the game engine. But, hey, it can't hurt, right?? (and yet another reason for W7 users to NOT go the winge10) -
thank you, kind sir!!

If I might make a request (and/or) suggestion ... I know you have a boatload of various models; ships, aircraft, vehicles, figures, buildings and what not. If these items are not going to be entering the 3W game world, would it be too much to ask that the MAX files be uploaded to the Modders Depository for others to use, finish, play with? In this respect, other 3d folks can have access to them, and perhaps continue the work. Especially for some of those very cool 1930s items If so, you can upload them yourself, or I'll be happy to do so.

also, check the encoding -- SF2 & FE2 use unicode. SF1 & FE1 use ANSI. Try opening the file, and save as... and look for the drop down, and select ANSI -
