F-4E Phantom II AUP, Hellenic Air Force Mod A Stand-Alone aircraft for WoI (but usable in ALL versions of the game - read on!) This package will create a complete, 'nation specific' aircraft; the F-4E Phantom II AUP as used by the Hellenic Air Force. Right now, it uses the WoI avionics70.dll, and has a fully functional HUD, CCIP, multi-mode A-A radar, and a Ground Mapping radar. As you all should know by now, the GM radar ONLY works in WoI with the HUD and whatnot. This aircraft, however, IS still usable in SF/WoV/WoE, with a modified avionics ini, which I've supplied. Full instructions are in the "To Install" section below. This a completion of a pack started by Sundowner, and he supplied me with the Hi-Rez Ghost skin, and a bunch of inis, along with the Ghost Gray camo 370 & 600 gallon drop tanks -- you WILL be adding these, so get your Weapons Editor warmed up!! -- NOTE: these are HI-REZ skins; 2048x2048. For those with older, slower machines or those with smaller vid cards, you might want to resize the skin bmps down one step to 1024x1024. You =WILL= loose some detail, but it's a trade off you sometimes must make. -- All I've basically done, is some ini tweeks for loadouts and some extreamly small changes. They ARE correct serials as issued to these Phantoms, but I cannot claim 100% historical accuracy as to which squadron had which number set. A new Hangar screen is included, based of Ant's original; it's WoI style one, even though I've left the SF/WoV/WoI style in, for when the Patch comes out for those other games, you can just use that one. It's called "woe_F4E_HAF_Hangar.bmp". So, you can choose, depending on your game, which to use. It is set up to use either of the weapons paks; the Bunyap Pak or Mirage Factory, or even NONE at all!!! Remember: this is designed for use in WoI =ONLY=, because at present, it's the only avionics70.dll that supports HUD/CCIP and Ground Mapping radars. It is probably usable in the others, but not with the WoI-style avionics ini. To that end, I've created an SF/WoV/WoE version, called -obviously- "woe_F4EAUP_AVIONICS.INI". See install instructions for further information. If used in anything OTHER than WoI, it is reccomened you use this modded ini, or run the risk odd game crashes. I'd like to thank Sundowner for trusting me to complete and release this package. Ant gets 98.6% of the credit; the remainder is mine! After all, he DID all the hard work with the skin; and I gotta tell ya, the detailing on it is superb; as we've come to expect. Make double-damm sure you read the enclosed readme -- it's there for your convience!!! Happy Hunting!!! Wrench Kevin Stein -

My fav was the 'ghost of Col. Kilgore' reference!!!

Been watching the anime (actually season 1 in English dub on HULU), and came across this on YT. I was laughing my ass off at the references. As to the overall series, it's actually QUITE good! It's called "Gate", and about an JSDF expedition to another world through a gateway. It's a "medeval" style; elves, magic, dragons, etc. Enjoy!

Where to find M118 3000lb bomb
Wrench replied to macmacmacmoc's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
How odd that is, as it's been in Gunny's Ordanance Shop since 2009 (ish) Just to save the effort in looking for it, I've attached it's zipped folder. Unzip, and drop into your /Weapons folder M118.7z and converting from SF1 to SF2 is a very simple matter of text editing. IIRC. there's a tutorial in the KB; but it's probably buried near the back -

My next terrain project
Wrench replied to Gepard's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
There are active 'steam vents' on the volcanos on the Kamchatka terrain revamp I did. IIRC, used the smokestack effect attacked to a oildrum1 object. I think, other than using swambast very cool effect (and cinder cone) maybe the 'sam trail effect' smoke could be use (it's white-ish) like is used for reactor cooling towers -

I was wondering how you'd do the belly bird (tm). Looks like it came out pretty good!! -
My condolences, as well. I know what that's like, as I went through something similar in 2021 with my wife. She passed Christmas Eve, 2021 due to kidney failure and other complications Will say a prayer.

[F-16A] Getting AIM-7M Sparrows to Not be Displayed as Python 4s?
Wrench replied to Arrow's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
F-16A ONLY carried IR missiles. Why not just download the wonderful Viper Pak, with the C and later models, that CAN carry the Sparrow. You'd be saving yourself a shitload of work, and even be accurate to Real Life (tm) Also, the F-16A_Netz is already flyable in every single mod folder, as it's a stock player flyable aircraft. So there's no need to "import" it into SF2, SF2E,SF2V, SF2NA, etc. There's even a mod in the download section that creates a "generic' F-16A for USAF, NATO and other contries usage. I mean, seriously ... -

Can you recommend any books, movies, or documentaries about Air Lifting & Support Units?
Wrench replied to Skyviper's topic in The Pub
Ospreys Combat Aircraft series has a couple, C74/R4D units of the PTo & CBI. I think there one on the ETO units, and maybe one for the Med
