Delta Dart Weapon Bay Animation
Wrench replied to DaniloE31's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
your lack of research is astonishing ... the F-4C was designed for the Falcon, and actually carried them into combat in Vietnam. as to the other issues with the 6, don't know what to say. You've obviously done something wrong with the data and loadout inis. What that is, I can't tell. Here's my data and loadout inis. Backup your originals. I can do no more. -

Terrain issues, still no luck
Wrench replied to warthog64's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
Terrain Object Detail them's the little buildings and trees on every terrain, that are NOT terrain objects, and are "built" into the tiles. but what you're describing sounds more like a game or computer issue. For those that don't look at the other game menus, on the Main Menu, you'll see the Options. Follow that to Graphics. You can set the shadows, ground objects, horizon distance, etc in there. -

All my SF2 Ctds at launchs
Wrench replied to jeanba's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
yes, indeed. if the various files have already been eaten, you'll have to re-install the game -AFTER uninstalling Avast. SAVE YOUR MOD FOLDERS FIRST, if you can!!! most of the guys having the problem have switched to another AV, mostly to MS Security Essentials (thats the one I use, and it great -- free d/l with free upgrades!!) -

Kamchatka Terrain for SF2 (by Baltika, Ver 2)
Wrench posted a topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - File Announcements
File Name: Kamchatka Terrain for SF2 (by Baltika, Ver 2) File Submitter: Wrench File Submitted: 25 October 2013 File Category: Full Terrains Kamchatka Terrain for SF2 (by Baltika, Ver 2) 7/26/2013 = For SF2, FULL 5 Merged - SF2NA REQUIRED!!! = This is a rebuild of Baltika's Kamchatka terrain. It has been rebuilt (almost) completly, and is designed to REPLACE, in total, the original 1stGen Version. The Targets and movements inis have been redone, and are more reflective of the Real World . Place names have been changed to local spelling (where discoverable, spellable and pronounable). The Original Easter Egg is still intact; several others have been added, as expected. This terrain was (re)built and tested within my SF2:NA mods folder. It makes use of the various statements and bits (water bmps, etc) that are =REQUIRED= for proper CVBG and SAG operations. It is suggested that it =ONLY= be used in a pure NA environment. It will NOT work properly in ANY 1stGen install; so don't even bother asking. NA is also required, as several 'in port' ships are stock items. Like the Original Release, it is a "2 Season" terrain. Winter and Not Winter. It should be noted at this time, you =WILL= be needing all of WhiteBoySamauri's Soviet Ships, JMSDF ships, JGSDF ground objects, and any JASDF aircraft you can lay your hands on!! To say nothing of "the usual suspects" US and Soviet ground objects (trucks, tanks, APCs, AFV/IFV, even more ships, etc). Some are provided, but the rest you'll have to locate yourself. Geophysical Disclaimer: some rivers and other water features may not follow their Real Life courses, be placed in their Real Life locations, or exist at all (read: there are NO rivers on this map. See Notes for more details). Several cities and other physical features, and target areas will also fall into that classification. Some target areas (cities, etc) exist only as named places, with no strategic or tactical values. Just someplace to fly over. As always, unzip this to a temp folder or your desktop, and you'll have access to the rest of the readme for it's instructions. It's reccomended you read the document through after unzipping, but -BEFORE- installing. As always, the Notes and Other Nonesense section may make for entertaining reading, as it explains a few "oddities" you WILL experience! Please also read and -OBEY- the New Standard Usage Discalimer, as it's been changed slightly to reflect a change in my policy. It's listed at the bottom, in the Legal Statement Section, with the URL back to the CA post. *Please Note: there are a few items still missing from the terrain, as well as a new tile set. It is being released "as is", with the caveat that when the new ground object and new tiles are ready, there =WILL= be an Update Pak. Until then, enjoy!* Happy Landings!

Kamchatka Terrain for SF2 (by Baltika, Ver 2)
Wrench replied to Wrench's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - File Announcements
hmmm... check the Persian Gulf terrain and/or the Eastern Med (aka "NAfrica". There is one tug, I can't remember where, that was built from one of the large trawlers (I repurpose a LOT of things!!). It "should" be this one, attached below When you get done with that port, I want screenshots!!! -

mine have been manual for, like, forever..... uses the 'bomb bay' keystroke, Shift/o (that the letter oh) some have also forgotten that IRM need their seeker head exposed to "see" the target with. If it stays inside the bay, It won't fire, or track if it does fire -
World Terrain
Wrench replied to Badfrank's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
yes, the stock 4 terrains (NOT IcelandNA) are 1000x km. Which is why the whiners complaining about lack of air refueling are suffering terminal HUA. Don't need it on that sized map. INA, iirc, is 500x km Not complicated, just realistic. As in "Real World". The work speaks for itself. True One would have to hand tile in the 100s of thousands. Now, is a somewhat quicker way, but it's also risky as the TE just loves to crash when using it... the flood or bucket tool. You'd "seal off" an area with the type of tile you want to use, say 50x50 tiles, then flood the inside area at "random headings". And repeat, and repeat and repeat. Still takes nearly forever, and the TE will still crash randomly Went through that nightmare when doing the Midwest USA map. Terraforming is not for the faint of heart or those lacking the dedication to the level of detail now required. -

that's what they're called. the small tug (the little bitty one) is Stephan1918s from FE, and is inside the terrain folder, as it's a terrain objects the other are ground objects, located in that folder. Also, there's the Navy_Tug, rebuilt from *somethingIcan'trememver" by the Argentine Modders -
Terrain issues, still no luck
Wrench replied to warthog64's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
and, just as importantly, WHICH terrains, all or add ons? Which TODs are on the terrains in question? Some have major issues due to mesh overlapping of those large building (like as used on the India/Pakistan terrain) posting screenshots could be of some assistance, too -
Help! I need a runway!
Wrench posted a topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
yes, a new airfield lod. Just a simple runway, no taxiways, no nothing else. This would solve an airfield (not) flattening issue that's seemingly height field related on the terrain I'm working on. No matter what I do, it won't flatten the eastern edge of the "region". It needs to be 1200 meter long, 90 m wide, orientated north/south, with the exact world center at 45m x 600m -- right directly in the middle. Just like the stock runways (in fact, it'll replace a 3) as it's to be a unpaved dirt, textures aren't all that important (but for other terraformers, could be retextured to tarmac later on). Any and all help from our 3D Wizards is DEEPLY appreciated!! Thanks! -
