SF2 RCN Hawker Seafury Skin Pack 4/6/2015 *For SF2 -ONLY-!! Full-5 Merged Reccomended* This package contains a skin for the recently released (skippybing) Hawker Seafury. You can find the base aircraft at the following URL (and you'll need it to add these skins to): http://combatace.com/files/file/15390-sf2-kaw-hawker-sea-fury-sb-pack/ Reminder: this is =ONLY= a skin/decal pak! These 2 skins represent Royal Canadian Navy Seafurys in the 1950s. Both are finished in the "2-tone Grey". You have skins for the following squadrons: 803 NAS, crica 1951 870 NAs (aka VF-870) circa 1953 The SF2 'date switch' is active, so VF-870 will turn on in 1953. All markings, execpting the fin flash, are decals (due to running out of meshes). Decal randomization is TRUE for both skins. Also included, from eburger's SF2NA Ulitmate CV Pack, are slightly modified versions of the HMCS Bonaventure & Magnificent. See "Notes" for change log. As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. PLEASE read them after Unzipping but =BEFORE= installing!! Also, as usual, give the "Notes and Comments" section a read, too. Happy Landings!! Wrench Kevin Stein -

Wrench replied to Wrench's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - File Announcements
a small data in correction, that I just noticed open the data ini, and scroll down to the FlightControl section (it's the second set down. Use the text below to correct the flap deployment: FlapSettingForTakeOff=1 FlapSettingForLanding=2 FlapSettingForCatapult=1 or just change the Flap for cat to 1 -
Question about the Fake Pilot Method
Wrench replied to Coupi's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
no, unfortunately as the object being added (a probe, antenna, pylon, etc) is the seat for the invisible fake pilot to 'sit' on -

File Name: SF2 WW2 ETO Republic P-47D "Bubbletop" Thunderbolt (0.5 Beta) File Submitter: Wrench File Submitted: 10 April 2015 File Category: P-47 SF2 WW2 ETO Republic P-47D "Bubbletop" Thunderbolt (0.5 Beta) 12/15/2014 = For SF2 (Full4/5 Merged RECCOMENDED!) *This mod will =NOT= work in SF/Wo* 1stGen game installs. It was built for SF2 ONLY!!.* This is a BRAND NEW aircraft, brought to you by Cocas Aircraft Factory & Co. We are calling this "version 0.5 beta", as there are a few minor issues with the LOD, and these will repaired as Real Life allows. But, we wanted to get them out into the hands of our WW2 End Users for their examinations and so forth. See Notes below for a more detailed explanation. REMINDER: this pack contains ETO Bubbletop Jugs =ONLY=!!! Other theatres/users will follow as time permits, and as they are completed. This pak contains, as stated above, a NEW aircraft, representing the Bubbletop P-47D (-25 thru -30-ish) Thunderbolt as seen in late 1943 through war's end. Skins included are: 8th AF 56th Fighter Group : 61st FS (early 44, OD/G) 62nd FS (mid/late 44-45), camo) 63rd FS (sometime in 44, NM) and 9th AF: 379th FS, 362nd FG (full D-Day markings, NM) All markings are decals. Decal randomization is set to TRUE. Please note, Squadron or Group specific markings -ARE- painted on, as are the Invasion Stripes. There are some nose arts. All the 1stGen Hangar and/or Loading screens were either rebuilt to SF2-spec, or created new for this package. They are in jpg format, and fit SF2 formatting. Damage textures are also new, in DDS format. There are 2 different Loading Screens, and you can swap them as you see fit. The canopy opens/closes with the Standard Animation Keystroke , Shift/0 Pilots, sounds, weapons are all included. Templates for this aircraft ARE included, for those skinners that wish to do other units, or other theatres, or Allied users (and see my appeal in the "Notes" section <grin>). The template is in the main zip of the package, so don't forget to move it OUT of your mods folder or things might get confusing! As there are several P-74D Bubbletops available, when in game you'll see: P-47D-20 Thunderbolt (CAF) on the aircraft selection dropdown menu. This will diferentiate it from any others that you may (or may not) have. As some units are repeated, those with the mods I built for Wolf's Jugs, can choose to keep those, or remove them to storage. As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. PLEASE read them!!! Also, as usual, give the "Notes" section a read, too. Happy Landings!

[WIP] Target Area Editor
Wrench replied to mue's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
ok! gotcha! Then, if its even possible, that the 2 other window (view panes?) -marked A & B, have the ability to be minimized. This would increase the work area. Now, mind you, I'm not like everyone else on a wide screen monitor. my computer desk is too small for one, and simply can't afford a new desk (even though I HAVE a brand new widescreen, collecting dust). But, even with a wide screen, being able to minimize the target objects listing and the types listing could be helpful in the long run. As I know less than nothing about programing, .... well, you get the idea! :) -

Who built the cruiser Belgrano?
Wrench posted a topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
having just discovered this ... it being the USN WW2 Brooklyn class, I'd like to upload that version. (ww2 that is..if I can get the triple cursed decals working ..why is that so hard do?? just a simple text edit, and the lod viewer give me the x/y/z ??) I'm pretty sure it was built by our Argentinian friends & members, but the Falklands mod readme makes no mention of WHO (whom?) So, I'd like to know which one of you people built it, and if permission can be given for it's upload in it's "original" WW2 state (data ini edits remove the Seacats) It's one of the major ships missing from our WW2 battle groups. thanks in advance! -

[WIP] Target Area Editor
Wrench replied to mue's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
ok, now that it's working for me, Here's some ideas as to what else could be added: 1) ability to 'slide' around the visible target area, possibly using the arrow keys (up key=N, down key=S, etc). It's easy to get "lost" with out a fixed reference point (in my mission building missions, the player aircraft ALWAYS flies north, so there's that reference). In my screenie above, the river runs N/S (see #2 below) Using the zoom is a bit difficult to get the vertical view necessary (for the most part) in placing target items, hence the need for the ability to 'slide' around. 2) possibly adding an orientation compass rose. Knowing that on ALL maps, "up screen" is always North, allows one to be able to see the direction or facing of the placed object (n, e, s, w). One can then estimate/guestimate the facing of the object. Even knowing this a Very early beta, there is stupendous possibility here! personally, I think the best thing about it right now, is that it reads the tile TODs, which allows you to 'see' the open spaces wherein to place target objects. That is one of the most critical things to know in targetization. -

for some reason, I can't get it to open any terrain. I KNOW I'm doing something wrong. in the settings, do we point to the core (Programfilesx86/...) SF2 install? Do we need to point to a certain terrain cat? It's not seeing any cats, when I point to the core installs' /Terrains folder. Please, a little more instructions, if you could! thanks! -

Also, due to modifications to various inis, this mod will -NOT- work in 1stGen game installs at any patch level. This has not/cannot/will not be tested by me.** This little mod represents TB-25J (glass nosed) Mitchells in serivce with the USAF in the post-WW2 time frame. Many of these aircraft were retained and converted to personal transports, navigational & multi-engine trainers, or squadron 'hacks' up until the late 1950s. The aircraft is completely unarmed. However, "those that know how" can readily turn the aircraft to it's original status and function. (see Notes for details). The aircraft is finished in Natural Metal (withOUT the late 50s white fues top or black "anti-soot" nacelles), and carries standard post-1947 USAF marking, including Buzz Numbers. The skin is in jpg format and all markings are decals. Decal Randomization is TRUE. Engine sounds, pilot figures, and a "couple of other things" are included. When in game, you'll see TB-25J Mitchell (v2k) on the Aircraft Selection Drop down menu. This will differentiate it from any other B-25s you may (or may not) have. (even though there ARE no other TB-25s!!) As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. PLEASE read them!!!
