  1. could you show an image that more tilted, that actually shows the TOD objects???
  2. afaik (and remember!) yes, they are

  3. FE2 & Ortho/Photo-Scenery

    Wrench replied to VonS's topic in Thirdwire - First Eagles 1&2

    I don't know about FE2, but the SF2 series does support jpg tiles. IIRC, their name extision needs to be called out in the terrains _data ini, with the tile listings.
  4. is that a new tower, or the very old one from the EAW WW2 Euro map? THAT one is fouled up very badly
  5. I like taking pictures ... (you can fill in the rest!!!)

  6. FE2 & Ortho/Photo-Scenery

    Wrench replied to VonS's topic in Thirdwire - First Eagles 1&2

    that is VERY interesting!!! Nice looking tiles, too. much better than the stock SF1 desert that was used
  7. all the skins have slimers, even the early ones (VN) that start in 64 (which probably ain't right, but I'm not messing with Ant's skins) the "Late" version, runs from 88-94. looking at the data ini, it seems mostly avioncis and countermeasures. Odd, these don't have self defense Sidewinders, but the Spanish one does (78-05 service)
  8. what i'm surprised, is, nobody has built the Navy/Marines RF-4B. I've never found one!!
  9. Yah, I"m just (re) doing the original skins, from back when. Of course, also redoing all the ini, data (FM) avionics, weapons -- bring them all the SF2 level. RF-4C SEA Vietnam 11th (64-70) & 14th (<1970) TRS in SEA (OO & OZ codes), "generic' RF-4c 1st TRS, 10th TWR RAF Alconbury (<1966) (sea 3 tone) 38th TRS,26th TRW (Euro 1,<1973) (Zweibruken) 153rd TRS, MS ANG (<1979) (in 3 tone SEA) 192nd TRS,152nd TRG NV ANG (<1975) (tps 2-tone gray) RF-4C Late (<1988) all 2-tone tactical grey 192nd TRS,152nd TRG NVANG (<1988 196th TRS, CaANG (90-93) 106th TRS 117th TRW, AFRES (<91) 38th TRS, 26th TRW (73-91) RF-4C, Spain Ala12, Esc 123 (Lo-Vis) (78-05) of course, the skin date switch is active on pretty much all of them. Each, excpeting Spain, has historical serials (prolly more than was in house at any given time, but I'm OCD on even numbers!!!) now, if someone could tell me WHY the photo-flash flares don't work .......
  10. I'm working on the Gen1 RF-4C package. Redoing all the decals to those historically used by the various units in the original package. RF-4C (SEA) (11th & 14th TRS) RF-4C (mostly AF, AFRES, ANG) RF-4C (EDA) RF-4C (Late - AF, ANG, etc) the spanish one is done, the SEA one is done, the "early" and late are still in the works I know Ant did the E and I think the IDF E's as well (have to check the downloads). I got the "as released" covered. I can list all the units, if you want DA
  11. I made an oooppssy!! This is NOT a Mirage 5 (per se). It's an Israeli version, built in house. It has been moved to the correct category, "Cold War Aircraft, Israeli made"
  12. View File SF2 TMF Nesher (IDF) Upgrade/Remod Pack SF2 TMF Nesher (IDF) Upgrade/Remod Pack 4/5/2024 -For SF2, Any and All-(SF2:I and/or Full 5 Merged Suggested) This is a full upgrade/remod pack for The Mirage Factory's Dassault Nesher as used by the Israeli Defense Force Air Force. Included in this package are 3 different skins: 101 Squadron (Camo) 253 Squadron (Camo) 117 Squadron (Camo w/Orange ID Triangles <1973) They are set up and labeled to cause NO conflicts with the Nesher available as stock within the game or any others that may exist. Skins remain in their original bmp format. Almost all markings are decals, and Decal Randomization is TRUE. All decals used are stock, in game items (you don't need SF2I for these) As you can see above, the SF2 date switch is active for the later, "Orange ID Triangle" skin. 101 & 253 Squadrons share the same start date (no actual date listed), meaning they're avaliable from the initial date of service, and are available to choose from the drop down menu. All necessary items are provided, weapons (drop tanks), pilots, seats, sounds, effects, and so forth. Some, you've probably got already!!! When in-game, on the Aircraft Selection Dropdown you'll see: Nesher S (TMF) So you can't mistake them for anything other than TMF Birds (tm). This also means, there'll be NO conflict with the other Neshers, of mods thereof, out there. 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. Happy Landings!

  14. Oh, I wouldn't say that ... (both vehicles from the 94th)
  15. what is it .... ansi (sf1) and unicode (sf2), if i remember correctly. SF2 reads both, sf1 only reads ansi, again, iirc
  16. Neither the WEaponsdata nor gundata are required anymore, especially for add on or edited weapons. Hence, the creation of seperate sub-folders in the /Weapons folder This is clearly stated in the Knowledge Base on "Editing weapons" or some such title. Might want to give that a look see. Also might want to read up in the KB on "how the extractor works". Because they ALL do. Odd the Utilities instlled in the base install; mine installed to the root of the SavedGames/ThirdWire. Having mods, in any amount will NOT effect how the editors works.

    Happy April 1st!!
  18. As part of your continuing training and pilot education, we have a special test for you today. As you can see, the maintainers have repainted all the gauge faces, so NONE of the numbers can be seen. It is your task, not only to remember which gauge is where, but what the information the gauge is displaying. To do this, you'll be flying a full circuit around the base. Engine start, taxi, takeoff, fly the pattern, and land. You'll taxi back to the parking slot you started from. Have a safe flight. Happy April Fools Day!!!
  19. yeah, the board software does that when it wants to!!! Possibly due to demons in code; you know how it is
  20. Lady Gaga's Train with After-bras???
  21. just breaking in here ... just curious as to HOW you can fire a radar guided missile from an aircraft that DON'T have an air intercept radar???? Without a human player in the Fitter's cockpit to "attempt' a lock and fire the IR missile, there's not real way to recreate the actual event. And as SF2 has no multiplayer... Sorry to put ice water on the idea, but there you have it. Editing the missile, hardpoints aren't gonna work no matter what.
  22. Dude, that is ABSOLUTELY perfect!!! It should look like the ones from the show!!! <<---DUff beer Thank you, come again!!
  23. now, we just need a Quikie Mart, too ... ducks and runs .....................................................................................>

  25. View File SF2 TMF Mirage IIICZ (SAAF) by PCG Upgrade/Remod Pack SF2 TMF Mirage IIICZ (SAAF) by PCG Upgrade/Remod Pack 3/24/2024 -For SF2, Any and All-(Full 5 Merged Suggested) Found in the Archives! Didn't even know there WAS a TMF version! But here it is!!! :) This is a full upgrade/remod pack for The Mirage Factory's Dassault Mirage IIICZ by PCG as used by the South AFrican Air Force. Even though there is =NOT= a stock 3W Mirage IIICZ per se, this is set up and labeled to cause =NO= conflicts with any (other) Mirages available for the game (including the version built by Ludo M.54 from a stock 3W Mirage). Skins remain in their original bmp format. All necessary items are provided, weapons, pilots, seats, sounds, effects, and so forth (most weapons used ARE stock 3W items, with few exceptions). This is a "nationalized" single-user only aircraft. This aircraft is supplied with 3 skins: "NMF"- as originally delivered "Camo1" - Tan/Green (<1971) "Lo-Viz" - 2-tone Blue & Grey (~1982) All 16 CZs served with No.2 Squadron, “Flying Cheetahs”. All skins use the same 'pool' of 16 ID/serial numbers. As can be expected, the SF2 Date Switch (tm) is active, and the LoViz skin starts in 1982 (best guess! based upon Ludo's Mirage F1CZ_Late). Also, the Date Switch is used on the Loadout ini, as newer missiles become available. When in-game, on the Aircraft Selection Dropdown you'll see: Mirage IIICZ (TMF) So you can't mistake them for anything else but TMF Birds (tm). 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. As an Extra Added Bonus (tm), I've included a bunch of PDFs I found online, documenting the Development & History of the Mirage III & its variants in SAAF service. They are OUTSTANDING docs, and were the basis for some of the changes I've implemented here. Well worth the read! Happy Landings!
