SF2 WW2 MTO Dewoitine D.520 Skin/Ini Tweeks Pack 5/15/2015 -- Something for the WW2 MTO players -- = For SF2 ONLY, Full-5 Merged (Reccomended/Preferred) = *Note: this mod is most likely =NOT= usable in 1stGen installs at any patch level* **Notex2: while designed for use in a MTO-Centric mods folder, the majority of the changes are readily useful during the aircraft's total service life.** Some tweeks, fiddles and a new skin & decal set for Veltro's Dewoitine D.520 French fighter plane. See the 'Notes' sector for full Change Log. Be advised, this package is designed to REPLACE, in total, both the AdA and VAdA D.520s in the "SF2 WW2 French Fighters Pak" re-issue of 2013. If you have that mod, it is =HIGHLY= reccomended you delete the old aircraft (and decals) =BEFORE= installing this one. This little kit is designed to work with the D.520 available at the following url: http://combatace.com/files/file/14334-dewoitine-d520/ The new skins represent: GC III/6 2e, Syria, 1941 (VAdA) GC II/3 2e SPA 81, Algiers, 1942 (VAdA - full striped markings) The skins use the SF2 'date switch', to turn automatically in July, 1940 (after the Armistace, and creation of Vichy forces). This is one of main reasons for the export/service editing, and additions to the Userlist. However, these changes ARE designed for use throughout the aircraft service life. (although, again, mostly for after the Armistice). However, since I've supplies 2 skins, for opposite ends of the Med, you'll have to select the appropriate one for the theatre you're flying in. As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. PLEASE read them!! In fact, it's RECCOMENDED!!! that you read these instructions BEFORE installing (but after unzipping, of course) as you'll be backing up a few of the inis (for safety's sake, doncha know). Happy Landings!!! Wrench Kevin Stein -

MiG-21 dual launchers for missiles?
Wrench replied to Stratos's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
Cool! now that we have the instructions, all we need is the (plastic) model!!! (don't suppose that could be attached as a pdf!!! LOL!!) taking a closer look at your screenie, Jamie, it's only the missile out of position, and needs to be brought in a few cms. that can be set in the weapons (ok, rack's) data ini,. It that a stock 3w Aphid, or aftermarket? Or, "nation specific" units could easily be created. Did you test with the APU-62s from the Gunny Pak? On those above, I just used the stock ones (both the rack and missile) (oth, adding the necessary nations to the weapons data ini may be exceedingly cumbersome ... might be best left as WP, and just use ini switches in the data and loadout inis -- ie, nation specific loadouts.) -

that means the aircraft's rails may be incorrect. -------- E German PFM, stock AA-8, stock dual rails Took me 15 minutes -- 10 minutes longer than it should have, as I forgot to READ one line in the weapons data ini. And they fit right! Also uses SF2 loadout date switch -

Seriously??? LOOK at the name listed in the loadout ini section I posted. That uses the stock 3W one; also visible in the stock 3W weapons data ini. the ones found in the Gunny Pak are APU-62L APU-62R -

did you edit the loadout ini, to add the racktype= and the number of missile to be loaded? I'd suggest extracting the 21bs and 21bisB loadout inis; they both carry them stock -

It was built for SF2 ONLY!!.* *Note x2: This mod represents ICs as used in the MTO =ONLY=.* A few modificaitions (mostly a skin/decals set) for Cocas' Beau Mk.IC, 'Coastal Command' version as used in the Med. This is the complete aircraft. This pack contains the following skin/decal set: No. 272 Squadron As seen in mid 41 thru late 43 time frames, based in Egypt and Malta. The aircraft is finished in standard Desert Day camo. The Squadron Crest is used as the paint chip seen on the Loadout Screen. Skins are in jpg format, as are the bump maps. Damage textures are in DDS. Everything is included, excepting the guns (you should have all these already). All markings are decals, and decal randomization is set to TRUE. All serials, while correct for the variant depicted, should be considered 'generic' in nature, as they represent no specific aircraft with the unit(s) depicted. \When in-game, you'll see: Beaufighter Mk.IC (CAF) for this aircraft. 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. Happy Hunting!

Neutral terrain areas
Wrench replied to Viggen's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mission & Campaign Building Discussion
no, each individual target area must have it's alignment changed. The regions WILL be populated, but not targetable. Nor will any AD units become active, against Blue or Red forces. the data ini has absolutely NO control over that; it just sets the physical reality (tiles and height field) -
