My Bitchin Betty sounds like a chipmunk...?
Wrench replied to Viper63a's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
bet they sound like this ONLY in SF2NA, right? -
La-11 FM
Wrench replied to Do335's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
which, unfortunately can ONLY be seen in MAX, if one has the MAX file. Far too many of our birds lack accurate extents and correct hit boxes. having something of that ability in Mue's Tool would be godsend for the ini gurus. -
Scale of Planning Map.
Wrench replied to Fatman's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
the planning maps are a 1:1 match in scale of the terrain itself -
pilot legs sticking out for the F-86F-40
Wrench replied to slick cowboy's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
change the entries to just plane "fakepilot'. bet that fixes it right up (make sure you actually DO have the generic fake pilot in your /Pilots folder) it should read like this cause there ain't no such thing as fakepilot2 -
question on installing FE aircraft into FE2
Wrench replied to xeroluck's topic in Thirdwire - First Eagles 1&2
weapons, guns, pilots and even decals set up EXACTLY the same in FE2 as in SF2. That is to say, separate, individual folders for each item, within their respective "main category" ( /Objects/Guns/*nameofgun*) There should be more info hiding (literally!!) somewhere in the SF2 knowledge base. but in essence, for a gun, the folder only needs the "main ini", and the data ini, as there Is no physical objects. The bullets are, in truth, just a 'special effects'. weapons, oth, while following the basic format (main ini, data ini), also need the lods residing in the folder. as to editors, the same ones for sF2 work for FE2 -
Need help, mods of stock planes not appearing in flyable planes' list.
Wrench replied to skyknight0721's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
just be advised, if you try to add any new skins, they won't appear, as the ini is now locked. You'd have to add them by hand to the maini ini, or "un-read only it", and probably have to re-add the "make it flyable" lines again -
Alternate Tile For Operation Desert Storm Terrain
Wrench replied to JSF_Aggie's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - File Announcements
they line up just fine if you use the "next tile over". remember... all river tiles are 'centered' along the east/west axis (left to right) unfortunately, never wrote a tutorial. just went on and made what tiles I needed! :) -

Hawker Hunters over Korea - and other KAW 'what ifs'
Wrench replied to dtmdragon's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Sci-Fi/Anime/What If Forum
I really like the sabre-style yellow!!! I'd go with that one on NM! iirc, only the FAA used the invasion stripes (oddly, none of the RAAF Meatboxes ever did!) -
La-11 FM
Wrench replied to Do335's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
if it could do that, THAT would be a major assit!!! baff, if you're going to do those, I can send over the dds damage textures, for a 'remod' pack -
outstanding!!

La-11 FM
Wrench replied to Do335's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
I also have new dds damage textures it's a pity we don't have the max files to fix the shadow tractor beams -

Alternate Tile For Operation Desert Storm Terrain
Wrench replied to JSF_Aggie's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - File Announcements
river tiles are easy peasy ... just think in layers. I've made, literaly, dozens when I needed them for the CenUS map. If you have a question on 'how to..' , just ask! -
Single Seater Phantom post?
Wrench replied to Stratos's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Sci-Fi/Anime/What If Forum
in sf2, you can't put a decal tga over the glass tga. it just don't work no more so, like Russ showed, you'd acutally need a new physical model -
La-11 FM
Wrench replied to Do335's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
where do you think I got the FM for the KAW version I did (don't know if it was ever released, or even where it went right now!!) -
SF2 Israel Random CTD
Wrench replied to DoctorDrago's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
pity the 3rd Wire boards are gone. Someone, also with a Mac reported similar issues. I don't recall what the fix, if any, was -
Hawker Hunters over Korea - and other KAW 'what ifs'
Wrench replied to dtmdragon's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Sci-Fi/Anime/What If Forum
well, I got the FM revamped, but the pig won't land on the boat. ANY boat -- tested them all. By 'hand flying', probably. But under auto-pilot or AI control, they float over the deck, and drop into the sea. I've done everything = I = can, so someone else will have to fine tune it you all still want it, even with that major flaw?? -
pretty much the same as the SF2 series this may be of some help (might be confusing at first, but read it through a couple of times) http://combatace.com/topic/70920-sf1-to-sf2-decals-folder-conversion-quickie-tutorial/

Wrench replied to mue's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion

Hawker Hunters over Korea - and other KAW 'what ifs'
Wrench replied to dtmdragon's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Sci-Fi/Anime/What If Forum
LOL!!! I've started work on upgrading the SH F.1. Expect a new, SF2-compliant version in a few days. Might as well, right??? -
Hawker Hunters over Korea - and other KAW 'what ifs'
Wrench replied to dtmdragon's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Sci-Fi/Anime/What If Forum
so, you all want me to find and re-issued my KAW Seahawk F.1, then?? edit: found it. http://combatace.com/files/file/6906-seahawk-f1a-what-if-korean-war-mod/ as its 1stGen, the FM will need updating. Shouldn't be too hard to fix -

having seen all the TOS cast members at various Cons of the years, of the Big Three, he was one of the good ones. another goes to the Great Bird of the Galaxy... RIP Mr. Nimoy
