Who built the cruiser Belgrano?
Wrench replied to Wrench's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
you guys a so funny ... that always bothered me .. NY shipping co is in NEW JERSY???? maybe for tax purposes? can't be Hinch, as mesh names in the data ini and OUT file are in Spanish (well, actually Portugese) leading me to believe it's our Southern Hemisphere friends, and, all the guns work kJakker, yes please. Did you correct the armor values for the hull, turrets and superstructures? -

Wrench replied to streakeagle's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
the 2 AI planes DLCs are awesome!! (read: S-99 = Bf-109G) plus the F-104A and C, and the SU-9. I think, both are well worth the money!! -
Indo-Pak mod?
Wrench replied to Stratos's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
hell, I have problems finding trees in a forest!! LOL!! didn't I put a lot of stuff in the terrain itself? (not planes, but ground objects?) I don't remember!! I DO remember the various MIg-21 variants were released seperately (Type 74, 77, 77_Late, 95 96) -

Grumman F-11F-1 Tiger -- For SF2, Any and All -- This is an upgrade package of the F-11F by Fleet Defender & Co (originally released in 2005). All the skins and decals have been updated, with many new ones created. Ini edits fix the overbright landing light; other tweeks add new AI sections, place weapons more centered on the pylons, round count corrected, and some other minor adjustments. A new avionics ini is included, that adds the radar ranging gunsight. The cockpit used is the stock A-4B Skyhawk, which is available in all versions of SF2, excepting stand-alone SF2:I mods folders. Merged installs should have no issues whatsomever. The lead-computing gunsight statements have also been added. 4 skins and decals are included in this pak (all that I could find!). They are: VA-156 (which became VF-111 in 1959) VF-21 VF-33 VF-111 Skins are by various artists, hopefully listed (correctly!) in the Credits below. Several of the skins were repainted, from a partial template I created, to remove the painted on Modex numbers. These are now all decals. Weapons included are just the 150 gallon drop tank; all others use stock in-game items. I've added several Mission profiles that I'm sure the actual aircraft did NOT perform (Strike, CAS, Armed Recon, and Anti-Ship). They're there for the playability factor. If you don't want to perform them, just edit them out of the data ini. As always, READ the enclosed readme for full, detailed instructions. This package has been broken down into the various folders that SF2 needs/requires/should have, to make it a LOT easier to install. Also, as usual, the expected 'Notes and Other Nonesense' comments by me. A full credits listing of those that worked on it, or contributed parts are below, and in the original release readme included. Happy Landings! Wrench Kevin Stein -

I sure wouldn't wait. Best to grab it now, "just in case" one of the main reasons I uploaded ALL the SF2 patches to the d/l section. Where I come from CYA is a religion! -

and an F-84 and a Panther AND a Sabre!!! shit, I'd give 20 bucks for it, even if they're a AI-only DLC. We've already got pits for them (of course, imagine the work to de-install all the ones we've already got, to remove the install conflicts....) I agree, 335. SF2 is damn near the perfect environment for Korea. thanks Stary! -

here's an odd idea that come to me the other day... with the x/yz now available, I'm wondering of our naval engineers could "look" at some of the older ships, that while having the gun mounts, nothing is actually shoot from them. Even if the turrets don't move, could the guns be "mounted"??? We have soooooooooooooooooooo many of the older ship models that could be 'tweeked' to have something functioning, sort of 'faked' in. just a thought... -

like what was done to the AvroCar, ages ago, you don't actually need a physical wing or tail for the vehicle to fly. Just data ini statements (don't forget collision points and hit boxes!) phasers and photo torps already exist from the Enterprise and D-7. you should make the 'beam projector' extend from the lower hull ala the movies http://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=earth+vs+the+flying+saucers&FORM=VIRE1#view=detail&mid=FAC64CD2FDFE1295633AFAC64CD2FDFE1295633A I like it!! -

SF2 Westland Wyvern S.4 Tweeks Pak
Wrench posted a topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - File Announcements
File Name: SF2 Westland Wyvern S.4 Tweeks Pak File Submitter: Wrench File Submitted: 05 April 2015 File Category: ini File Edits SF2 Westland Wyvern S.4 Tweeks Pak 4/4/2015 = For SF2, Full-5 Merged (Reccomended/Preferred) = A small modification/Tweeks pack for Skippybings' Westland Wyvern S.4 Royal Navy turboprop attack aircraft. This is =NOT= the full aircraft, nor does it contain the beautiful skin/decals pack by paulopanz (which is a HIGHLY reccomended add-on!). This is just a set of inis, and new Hangar & Loading screens. The inis contain minor tweeks and a new anti-ship loadout (torpedo); other loadouts have been adjusted for more striking power and/or extended range and loiter time. Most other stuff remains "as issued". See "Notes" for full change list. Obviously, you MUST have the Wyvern aircraft in you mods folder before installing this tweeks pack. <g> As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them =BEFORE= installing (but after unzipping, of course). Also, give the "Notes" section a read too, as it contains the Change Log. Happy Landings!
