Comprehensive WW2 install
Wrench replied to MrGoTime's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - World War II Forum
SF2 works fine for me!! All mine are built from the NA exe, as carriers are needed on a lot of the terrains I d/led it, but haven't installed it. I have everything (pretty much) already. Considering the EAW Euro terrain is mine (ok, my complete rebuild of the 2004 version). Excepting some of their "newer" aircraft. -
Creating a new campaign with a diferent frontline start position?
Wrench replied to ricnunes's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mission & Campaign Building Discussion
yes, the 'red line' boundry is control by the terrain's movements ini for example: -
indeed. and I've got them all converted for XvT ... a huge project I did in the early 2000s. Along with about 1500-1700 other missions (everything I could find and collect of the old DOS missions for both original games. Some were really great, some good, some crap) Unfortunately, iirc, stock XvT doesn't have all the ships needed for the T/F mission sets. Hence the need for the Draconis Ship Patch. So, if someone has the new GoG version, let us know if all the TF ships are there (T/D, MB, modified CRVs and M/FRG, and so forth) but the original XW missions work just fine!

Do we have a napalm rockets mod?

oh, thank the gods!!!! (now, one wonders if that F.8 can be rebuilt into the earlier mk.3???) -
Comprehensive WW2 install
Wrench replied to MrGoTime's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - World War II Forum
unfortunately, you have to use both. mine are all hand built, and I've 'cherry picked' what aircraft or other objects I've needed from the varying sources. on the down side, any ww2 campaign that were created, were done sooooooooooooo long ago, that they'd need a complete rebuilds from the bottom up to work in sf2. So, indeed, the SF2 WW2 player is stuck between a rock and a hard place. -

Wrench replied to Kulbit80's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
any of these stock birds should do for testing: Hunter 6, Hunter 9, Vampire, even the Mustang for testing (it calls for them in the stock loadout inis) DLC 29s Spit 14, 18, 22 all carry them add-ons: Seahawk, Venom -

Indeed! -
H&MS-12 Outlaws Tail Logo
Wrench replied to Nyghtfall's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
this is kind of what I meant ... you can use this as a starting point, or ????? that's a quick and dirty base (20 minutes) more shading/detail will be needed of course, but when reduced down to 512, may not show but, it's a start -
H&MS-12 Outlaws Tail Logo
Wrench replied to Nyghtfall's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
that's not that hard ... take that large format picture above, and just start creating layers, and repaint the figure by hand. I'd work with at LEAST a 1024x template. You can always reduce in size after tga creation. No different from doing nose art decals -
Carrier in Korean Air War Mod
Wrench replied to alexis99's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
because the CV-63 series carriers began their service AFTER the Korean War and yes, you'll need to put ALL the CV-63 bits into it's own sub-folder within the /GroundObjects folder. you'd be better off using the Essex class (correct type), even though it's the SCB-125 upgraded versions, that also have a start date after Korea. That can be fixed by a simple data ini edit. -------- in truth, the best, easiest and most simple way is to not mess around with this in 1stGens -- they do not, by default, support carriers OUTSIDE of campaigns or user-built missions for carriers. SF2, especially with SF2NA as part of the merged install, is the way to go. You want to fly off the boat in single mission, you certainly can. With all the SF2 KAW stuff available, especially a terrain that was BUILT for CV ops (and is FAR more accurate than that 1stGen terrain); well you get the picture. -
WW2 WIPs Thread
Wrench replied to Wrench's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - World War II Forum
looks good!! I just wish there was a way to get rid of the fues roundel warpage. Makes me (almost) want to cures Leroy Grumman's shade.... don't forget the various ini mods I've done for the Wildcats/Martlets (like the hand crank sound for the gear and others) -

And another questions (can I use escort carriers?)
Wrench replied to MrGoTime's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
they only carried 2 squadrons in Real Life in campaign wise, there'd be no reason why you couldn't -

BoB campaign generates only recce missions
Wrench replied to Heck's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mission & Campaign Building Discussion
The first question I'd ask, is Which version of the BoB Terrain are you using, the original or my rebuild of it??? IIRC, I changed a LOT of the targets, which, afaik, will effect any existing campaigns -
Buick, be specific given the time frame, I'm surprised they didn't add the traditional "holes in the side"
