Good Morning Dhimar!
Wrench replied to KnightWolf45's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Sci-Fi/Anime/What If Forum
hmmm... that makes we wonder if the tricks used to "create" the B-29 pit couldn't be used here as well it may, however, require mapping and skinning of the interior regions of cockpit/fuselage, since "open cockpit" is used for that -
F-15C skins for F-15 B/D
Wrench replied to DEVIL11's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
hmm...got it to work right off the bat. simple copy/paste of the skin folder, in this case the 57th FIS in Iceland, from the F-15C_85, to the F-15D_85. Didn't even mess with the decals; one dosen't need to move the decal folder, as the pathway written in the decals ini will ALWAYS 'look' for it's original folder...they don't even need repositioning. don't know what to say; couldn't be easier. bmp or jpg make no difference to SF2, as it's the game engine and not the LOD that chooses what to use, based on what's available. -

SF2 FJ-3 Fury USN Skin Pack

File Name: SF2 FJ-3 Fury USN Skin Pack File Submitter: Wrench File Submitted: 22 February 2016 File Category: F-86 SF2 FJ-3 Fury USN Skin Pack 2/19/2016 = For SF2, Any & All (Full-5 Merged Reccomended) = This package contains 2 new Us Navy skins for the FJ-3/3M Fury. This package contains skins for the following squadrons: VF-91 "Red Lightnings" (USS Ticonderoga, WesPac, 1957/58 "NG" code) VF-173 "Jesters" * (USS Franklin D. Roosevelt, 1956/57 "R" code) (* note: VF-73 also was called Jesters, in approximately the same time frame!) Also, for VF-173, I've suppled tail and wing code letters (AD) for it's deployment aboard USS Randolph (6th Fleet); although the profiles (in the skin folder) MAY be in error, as the time frame overlaps that of the deployment about the Rosie. Almost all markings are decals, with the exception of some special squardron markings and color "zaps". The skins are in jpg format. Decal randomization is TRUE.

SF2 FJ-3 Fury USN Skin Pack
Wrench replied to Wrench's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - File Announcements
if you look very carefully, you'll see it IS an FJ-3M. I had to max files from Zur, and Russ did some completion work in 2012 (??). It only lacks the folding wings download the V.2 pack, and you'll see!! -

Programe and Armor protection(steel-aluminum)
Wrench replied to regula50's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
you're also missing the FRONT statements. Fuel tanks reside in a armored "box", in essence (my bet would be DAT data ini; they ALWAYS forget that) weight has never been a concern, with armor. In other words, it simply "exists". iirc, the "standard" is (based on what TK mentioned 12 years ago...): 5 mm glass = 1 mm aluminium 5 mm aluminium = 1 mm steel (and this one is a guess) 5 mm steel= 1 mm titanium -
Looking for some help/advice RE: full MOD installs
Wrench replied to sts's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
Removing the cockpit reference ONLY removes it from "Player Use". The AI can still find it (example: all the MiGs and such) an easier way, to remove from both AI and Player use, is just rename their main folders (ie: xBuccaneer) that way, if you change you mind and want to fly them, you can. Deleting the folder is the other is, of course, the nuclear option; you lose it forever -

Wrench replied to Gepard's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mission & Campaign Building Discussion
iirc, the planets are there too. watch for the Pleiades cluster, too back around 2003 or 4, there was a thread "stargazing in SF", no matter where you fly, the star patterns are (mostly) correct, even below the equator -
SF2 FJ-3 Fury Ini Update & Skin Pack

File Name: SF2 FJ-3 Fury Ini Update & Skin Pack File Submitter: Wrench File Submitted: 19 February 2016 File Category: F-86 SF2 FJ-3 Fury Ini Update & Skin Pack 2/19/2016 = For SF2, Any & All (Full-5 Merged Reccomended) = This package contains an update kit for NAA FJ-3/3M Fury (v2), available at the following URL: http://combatace.com/files/file/14053-sf2-naa-fj-3m-fury-ver2/ If you don't have it already, you'll need that mod first. Like many (ok, most) of the other Sabres recently updated, the following items have been changed, added to, adjusted and whatevered: updated hit boxes/collision points corrected mis-named nodes activated nose wheel steering Exported now "TRUE", years now match Userlist (I'd forgotten US Marines is a seperate nation!!) FM remains the same; I've just performed some very basic and small tweeks. A new skin is included for VF-191 "Satan's Kittens" (that I'd forgotten to finish from 3 years ago!!) All markings are decals, and the skin is in jpg format. The aircraft is finished in standard USN Gull Grey/White. I've supplied 18 modex number decals, and decal randomization is TRUE. The skin is basicly "blank", making it fairly easy to create other units, via decals. As always the standard, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. Please READ them!

it's not animated. you can only "remove" it (see my AC-47 gunship mod) 2nd question, no. as they're treated as "bombs" -

Chinese territorial claims
Wrench replied to Ice Man's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mission & Campaign Building Discussion
damaged model should be left blank, as there's no "dmaged sign' lod. For the destroyed model, sometimes a crater1 or nothng, just have the fire buring. I don't thing I've ever used them in a region so close to the water, which might be why I've never experienced the 'sinking' issue. Mostly in cities and air bases, that were (are) pretty flat. It may just BE the sign lod, but ????. I'm leaning more towards something on the island's height field, but who knows!???!!! place one someplace inland, and see what it does, would be the experiment I'd try next -

have you "folderized" the individual weapons, and create new, individual ***_data.ini, "main".ini, and so forth? In this respect, it's exactly the same as SF2 the individual weapon folder should look like this: -
