File Name: SF2 Korea Terrain (V3) File Submitter: Wrench File Submitted: 06 October 2012 File Category: Full Terrains Korea Terrain (V3) for SF2 == For SF2, Full 5 Merged, @ July 2012 Patch Level, -ONLY- == * Note: while this terrain references the GermanyCE.cat for terrain objects, it =MUST= be used in the SF2NA (or Full-5 Merged) environment. Use in any other type of install is at the End Users risk, as carrier operations have some 'oddities withou the necessary SF2NA coding. No support is/will be available for those End Users withOUT SF2NA. It it also supremly reccomended (read: required!) that you have SF2I's Expansion Pak 1, as several of the aircraft (soon to be) supplied WILL be needed for historik 1950s usage. SF2V is also required for it's Skyraider. If you do NOT meet these requirements, you download this at your own risk. It is also probable, that without heavy editing, this terrain MAY NOT WORK in 1stGen SF/Wo* game installs. * This is a higly detailed terrain, with many new custom tiles and TODs. Due to the large number of terrain and ground objects used, you may experience exceptionaly long loading times. It has been fully tested in a Full-5 merged SF2 install, at the July, 2012 patch level (meaning: both a stand-alone KAW-centric game install, and with the terrain in SF2NA). This is the terrain you've all been waiting for -- This is the KAW "Korea" terrain. It replaces any and ALL other versions of this part of the world you may have; this is likely the most accurate terrain EVER released for the Third Wire series. While designed with the Korean War in particular mind, like all my other terrain mods, it has a full 100 Year Operations Span ™, allowing for use well into Modern Times. This is a Full 4-Season terrain, with all the various tiles and terrain objects requred. However, it IS HIGHLY suggested you create a seperate KAW mods folder built from the SF2NA exe, as this terrain makes use of NA specific coding for carrier operations via the water bmp. There are 2 "CV Zones" on the map, in their semi-historic locations; Yellow Sea and Sea of Japan. This terrain also makes use of the LimitedNations=TRUE statement, locking in regional participants. And yes, as expected, there ARE Easter Eggs. When building you KAW Mods Folder, you are advised to leave all the stock items intact, due to the Year Spread, and when the other 1950s KAW Parts are released, simply add them. It is vitally important to use ONLY the era-specific ground objects I'll be supplying!! Of course, adding SAMs the NK's have and their associated radars, and HAWK units is also important! So, feel free to add those AD or Ground units that fit this particular region. GroundObjects included in this pak are very limited; in fact, some you may have already. The full KAW GO, Weapons, Pilots and other items will be released as soon as possible. With the exception of some aircraft; they'll be along as soon as they're done. In the meantime, there ARE plenty era-specific aircraft downloads at CA to keep you happy for a short while Geophysical Disclaimer: some rivers and other water features may not follow their Real Life ™ courses, be placed in their Real Life ™ locations, or exist at all. Several cities and other physical features, including target areas, will also fall into that classification. Some target areas (cities, etc) exist only as named places, with no strategic or tactical values. Just someplace to fly over. Also, the targeting in Japan is exceptionally minimal -- this was done purposfully to reduce the chance of Enemy Aircraft ™ showing up far beyond their operational ranges over the Home Islands. If necessary for 'later year' useage, this can be expanded as needed (what with all those superdetailed F-104J and F-4EJs available, to say nothing of JASDF Sabres in the download section). As always, unzip this to a temp folder or your desktop, and you'll have access to the rest of the readme for it's instructions. It's reccomended (ie: REQUIRED!!!) you read the document through after unzipping, but BEFORE installing. As always, the Notes and Other Nonesense section may make for entertaining reading. It's also VERY IMPORTANT to read the Legal Statement at the bottom, as it reflects changes in policy to ALL my terrain works. Happy Landings, and Good Hunting! wrench kevin stein -for the KAW Team Click here to download this file

yup, more than likely something on my end. it's obviously working ok now!! thanks Erik!

seek ye the "windoze 10 graphics issues" threads ... there's been a number is issues, mostly due to drivers (Nvidia)

File Name: SF2 WW2 ETO Bristol Beaufighter TF.X, ANZAC Skin Pack File Submitter: Wrench File Submitted: 10 January 2016 File Category: Other SF2 WW2 ETO Bristol Beaufighter TF.X, ANZAC Skin Pack 1/8/2016 -- Something for the WW2 ETO players -- = For SF2, Full-5 Merged (Reccomended/Preferred) = As this skin/decal set is for the ANZAC Strike Wing Beaufighters, is it to be used on the recently released Beaufighter TFX (Early) by Cocas, avaliable at the following url: http://combatace.com/files/file/15981-sf2-ww2-eto-bristol-beaufighter-tfx-v9-by-cocas/ This pack contains the following aircraft & skin/decal sets: Beaufighter TF Mk.X (Early) No.455 Squadron (RAAF) (code - UB) No.489 Squadron (NZ) (code - P6) of the ANZAC Strike Wing. Both aircraft carry full D-Day markings. The SF2 "date swtich" is =NOT= used on either skin. The Squadron Crest is used as the paint chip seen on the Loadout Screen. Skins are in jpg format. All markings are decals, and decal randomization is set to TRUE. Serials for 489 should be considered 'generic' in nature, and use the serials from the "Coates" deacl folder from the original aircraft release. Serials for 455 are 100% Historically Accurate ™ and are matched to the "plane in squadron" letter. On the loadout screen, you'll see... No. 455 Sqdn RAAF (D-Day Stripes) No. 489 Sqdn NZ (D-Day Stripes) As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. So, please =READ= them BEFORE installing this mod!!!. Also, give the "Notes" section a read too. Happy Hunting! Wrench Kevin Stein - for Cocas Aircraft Factory - Click here to download this file

I would go ahead and do it anyway. It's bound to help someone, at some point in time

File Name: SF2 WW2 SWP Bristol Beaufighter TF Mk. X, RAAF File Submitter: Wrench File Submitted: 10 January 2016 File Category: Other SF2 WW2 SWP Bristol Beaufighter TF Mk. X, RAAF, v.9 by Cocas 1/5/2016 -- Something for the WW2 PTO players -- = For SF2, Full-5 Merged (Reccomended/Preferred) = *This mod will =NOT= work in SF/Wo* 1stGen game installs, at any patch level. It was built for SF2 ONLY!! Also, some statements for anti-ship/naval strike require having SF2NA as part of your merged install (meaning: your WW2 PTO mods folder built from the SF2NA exe).* *Note x2: This mod represents RAAF Beau TF Mk.Xs for SouthWestPacific (PNG/Solomons/etc) use =ONLY=! This is an Australian-only, Nationalized version, for use in the aforementioned theatre.* This pack contains the following aircraft & skin/decal sets: Beaufighter TF Mk.X No 30 Squadron, RAAF This pack represents RAAF Beau TF.Xs, from late 1943 through the war's end. The Squadron Crest for each is used as the paint chip seen on the Loadout Screen. Skins are in jpg format. All markings are decals, and decal randomization is set to TRUE. As seen on the Loadout Screen, those letters marked with a star (*) have their serial numbers matched 100% to their plane-in-group letter. Those withOUT the star, while having served with 30 Squadron, could not be matched to their individual aircraft, but ALL are 100% historiclly correct, having served in this squadron. Many were lost on operations or accidents. All weapons, sounds, pilots, etc are included. When in-game, you'll see: Beaufighter TF Mk.X (RAAF) (CAF) On the Aircraft Selection Drop-down menu. The "CAF" (for Cocas Aircraft Factory) will diferentiate these Beaus from any others you may, or may not, have. As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. So, please =READ= them BEFORE installing this mod!!!. Also, give the "Notes" section a read too. Good Hunting! Wrench Kevin Stein - for Cocas Aircraft Factory - Click here to download this file

Streak; I approved it, and changed the title to "How to Use Radar". Also added the caveat, "post any comments/questions in the main SF2 Forum, General Discussion". Otherwise, the KB will be full of stuff (discussion, etc) that don't belong there thanks for rescuing the images!

just went to upload a new airplane, and the "click to upload file" and "click to upload screenshot" buttons aren't working. just thought you should know, Boss! thanks!

crab pot? lobster pot?? piss pot??? CL, sure you're not confusing FishBED with Fishpot??? NK has been using Mig-21s for like forever! nicely done, Alfie!

are they both supposed to face forward?? If so, on the right side do this (change in BOLD) [Decal013] MeshName=Nose DecalLevel=0 DecalFacing=RIGHT FilenameFormat=Vampire F.52 (LAMIA)/Desert Camo/DHIMARIPATCH2 Position=1.68,-0.02 Scale=0.2 Reverse=TRUE DecalMaxLOD=3 (or for whichever side is the correct front facing)

best for practice, would be Armed Recon missions on The Range terrain. You can nape whole convoys of trucks. weapons loading are base on the AttachmentType= statement in the aircraft's data ini (the BLU series of napalm canisters is considered a BOMB), where and how many loaded in the aircraft's loadout ini, exportation (true or false) of the weapons, and years available

iirc, Level 3 is kill markings level 1 decals ONLY work when selecting the squadron AND the squadron has to be listed in the Squadronlist ini. otherwise, the simplest way is how I've done -- just make them Level = 0

how are you setting up the decals? meaning, what Level= are you using??

I hope we get templates for it ... skins will be needed for N Africa/Med and eastern front as well as western europe

File Name: 3rd Wire A-1H/A-1J Template Set File Submitter: Wrench File Submitted: 08 January 2016 File Category: Skin Templates This is my template set for the STOCK 3rd Wire A-1H & A-1J Skyraiders. These are multi layered Photoshop format (PSD) templates for the three main maps body left_wing tail the templates are 2048 x 2048. there is also a "nodes" map for each, to assist in finding the little odd bits. the right wing is mapped identically to the left, so the only difference would be for camoflague patterns. All my myriad layers are intact, which explains the HUGE size of each of them. You may keep or discard those layers that you don't need as you see fit (many are experiments for a mod that fell through) Somehow or another, these slipped my notice, and should have been uploaded a looooong time ago. Happy Skinning! Wrench Kevin Stein Click here to download this file

civil / firefighter mod over the next few weeks, I hope to upload all that's been done, so someone can pick it up

thanks for all you do, Erik!!

File Name: SF2 IDF/AF Bristol Beaufighter TF Mk.X by Cocas File Submitter: Wrench File Submitted: 07 January 2016 File Category: Other SF2 IDF/AF Bristol Beaufighter TF Mk.X by Cocas 1/4/2016 = For SF2:I, (Full-5 Merged, Reccomended/Preferred) = *This mod will =NOT= work in SF/Wo* 1stGen game installs, at any patch level. It was built for SF2 ONLY!!.* *Note x2: This is a nationalized, stand-alone, version designed =ONLY= for use by the IDF/AF* This mod represents the 4 Beaus used by the IDF's No. 103 squadron in late 1948. They had a VERY short service life, and this is reflected in the data ini. Operational dates are rounded to 'whole months'. Historically, there were 5 aircraft, one crashing before leaving England. I've given you 6 serial number decals, just because. All markings, excepting the fuselage stripe, are decals and decal randomization is TRUE. This is a complete package, containing all "bits" necessary - weapons (bombs, rockets, rocket rails, drop tank) pilot figures, sounds and etc. Guns are not, as the 20mm cannon is a stock item. The torpedo capability has been removed, as research has turned up nothing even remotely mentioning it. Mission tasking in the data ini, and loadouts have been adjusted accordingly. This mod is designed to replace, in total, any and all earlier versions that are no longer available from "other sources". The may cause issues with existing campaigns (if any that use the Beau), but are easily fixed with the simple text edit of the campaign ini. As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. PLEASE read them!!! Good Hunting! Wrench Kevin Stein - for Cocas Aircraft Factory - Click here to download this file

the aircraft has now been moved to it's proper place you can find it in the SF2 download, Add on Aircraft, Cold War Aircraft, French Origin, Other., on Page 2 http://combatace.com/files/file/14511-jaguar-a/

Meanwhile, off the coast of New Guinea...

I swear to the gods, I uploaded the frelling things!! But they ain't in the /Skins/Templates section. well, I'll get that taken care of later today
