Wrench replied to Wrench's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Screen Shots
you know you can move the skin listing around in the main ini, right??? If you have a preference, cut/pate, in this instance the VF84 skin to the Number 001 position, and renumber them all. Old trick that goes back to 2003 and original release of SFP1. personally, I don't think there's any thing wrong with the TMF Corsair; it could just be the automatic cowl flaps -

must not have looked very hard, the TMF -1D comes in overall blue for VF-84 on BUNKER HILL. Safe to assume you're not using that one, but "someone elses"? -

Also, due to modifications to various inis, this mod will probably -NOT- work in 1stGen game installs at any patch level. This has not/cannot be tested by me.** This is a NEW, 'nationalized' version of Veltro2k's B-25D, as used by the US Marine Corp as the PBJ-1D in the PTO. There are 1 skin/decals set(s) in the package: VMB-413, as seen in the Solomons and SoWesPac from 1944-war's end The skin is in jpg format, The BuNums (serials) ARE 100% historically accurate for this squadron's Mitchells. All markings are decals. All lighting is historically correct. Damage textures are in DDS format. Engine sounds, pilot figures, new 'strap on' gun packs, are included. Operational service dates are rounded to 'whole months', and ARE relatively correct for SWP theatre usage. When in game, you'll see PBJ-1D Mitchell (v2k) on the Aircraft Selection Drop down menu. This will differentiate it from any other Marine Mitchells you may (or may not) have. As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. PLEASE read them!!!

SF2 WW2 ETO, RAF Mitchell Mk. II (B-25C/D)

There are 2 skin/decals set(s) in the package, both for No 98 Squadron (in standard USAAF finish). They are: 98 (in "normal" clothing) 98_44 (with D-Day Invasion stripes) As seen in Northwestern Europe, from 1943 through the war's end. The skins are in jpg format, The serials are accurate for the version depicted, but should to be considered 'generic' as they represent no particular squadron or aircraft within a particular squadron. All markings are decals, and decal randomization is TRUE. This will make it easy for other texture artists to recreate the other RAF Mitchell units (including Free French, and Free Netherlands). Please note, this mod is supplied with 2 cockpits -- the 'generic' bomber pit, and one with a working bombsight (from the Invader). While not perfect, the bombsight WORKS. To learn how, =PLEASE= read the enclosed PDF. For those not wanting to use the Invader pit, instructions on switching back to the 'generic' one are in the "Notes" section below. No bombs or guns are included; you should have the RAF bombs and all the standard issue machine guns already. Pilot figures and sounds however, are included. In game, on the aircraft selection drop down screen, you'll see: Mitchell Mk.II (v2k) This will make sure you choose the right one (even if there aren't any other RAF Mitchells available).
