here's runway 3 retextured (ie: hex edited and created a 'new' runway3a), with psp matting. Also a bunch of new objects for the airfield bits -
gkabs stuff not work
Wrench replied to High-Flyer's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
Given the fact the items are in the SF2 downloads section wasn't a hint??? To be honest, the file announcement should have the statement "For SF2 series ONLY" (like all of my stuff does). We (the site owner & admins) keep the 1stGen forums open simply because there's data, information, 'tips, tweeks & tricks" archived here that (may) have value for SF2 users. This is the way of it. -
JASDF Squadron Markings
Wrench replied to Menrva's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
did you check my JASDF F-86 Sabres???? (mind you, 1950s versions) edit: 3, 6 are painted on the tail fins. 1 & 8 are decals. However, they'd be on the Templates, so you might be able to pull the layer, and create a seperate image, to make the decal from (3 might need the "bit's" filled in, as I left a hole for the serial number -

French Indochina war
Wrench replied to amariani's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mission & Campaign Building Discussion
I thank you for the assistance; you're going to have a big part in this, methinks. I've got access to really accurate maps, from the US Army Corps of Engineers, and -get this totally lucked out-- they're from 1954. Once I get everything repositioned/corrected, then each city will have to be rebuilt from scratch (especially Hanoi, Haiphong, Saigon, and many others.) I still haven't "fixed" on the level of detail yet -- obviously the rail system (at least in the cities), ports. Airfields have to have back-dated structures (ww2 type). Some airfields will still be the "stock concrete" runways, as there really isn't much choice. Others will be using the Runway 3 & Runway 2s. Obviously, there will be airfields in Viet Minh territory, but as they have no air force...???? Below is a sample, of the Hanoi region (also telling me I got the lake to the NW slightly "off", but the 3w terrain engine.....mmmmmm) -

Can't be worse than my French -- which is a close to zero as can be without actually being zero!!! downloaded the runway mod above, but it's borked. "unexpected end of archive". So, via hex editing and renaming, I'm building "my own" version of a PSP runway from Runway3. I"ll post images when I've got some (still redoing the airfield's skins) -

French Indochina war
Wrench replied to amariani's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mission & Campaign Building Discussion
I'd hold off on doing ANYTHING until I have a workable, corrected terrain. TK's original VN-SEA is so fucked up and innaccurate; things aren't where they're supposed to be (as anyone that can read a map will see), things exist that never did, etc.. His version, I'd rate at less than 65% accurate. By the time I get done with it (it'll still take months...) it'll be closer to 90% - even given th 63% size, and the usual bug-a-boos of the 3W terrain engine. What I can use, however, is some kind of chart that locates which regions (cities, villages, etc) are Viet Minh controlled. I've only found these 2 images -
Some problems with KAW

1) most important -- KAW is designed for a STAND ALONE MODS FOLDER . It has not now, or ever in the past been built with "a blend with all my other Mods. Take that as gospel 2) non of these aircraft have afterburners. These are Gen 1 jets -

gkabs stuff not work
Wrench replied to High-Flyer's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
it's the incompatiality of the 2 formats -- all the SF1 series is ANSI. The SF2 series uses UNICODE. SF2 can read both, hence the ability of SF1 mods being usable there. This is the way it is ... there is no need for 2 of everything just because people refuse to evolve. SF1 is DEAD, and SF2 is just barely hanging on. As Daddyairplanes and Trotksi just said, this is the way of the world. Think of it as "gaming Darwinism". -
Operation Seelöwe

Gepard, don't forget I did a rebuild of your terrain in 2013. If not too much is changed, you might be able to copy/paste many of my target area. Certaintly, there's a bunch of ground & terrain objects you can use! Please feel free to do so!! -
