Canopy Animation
Wrench replied to alexis99's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
Very old news. Most of us have known this since WoV came out (for the A-6). IIRC, there's even a tutorial in the Knowledge Base. Can't remember if it's in 1stGen (SF/Wo*) or SF2 KBs Also, by Modder Consesus (tm), Canopy animations (manual input type) are Amimation_10, so to use the Shift/0 (zero) keystroke. Also the way it's been done since first discovered in the early 2000s (shift/9 is wingfold, just so's you know) -

very clever!!! -
TGA Decals
Wrench replied to LilLucy's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
TK's decal tutorial (available around here someplace!!) says a minimum of 5 pixels between the image and the edge of the background. I try to use substantially more -
it should be an easy copy/paste and ini text editing from the existing WW2 versions, afaik. Let me know if that don't work (I didn't do the IDFAF Forts)

That just reinforces the old adage ... "A good coat of paint can hide a multitude of sins" -
Drop tank issue.
Wrench replied to Schattenreich's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
My suggestion would be to toss the old Control.ini, and start fresh. Something went wrong somewhere. -
Drop tank issue.
Wrench replied to Schattenreich's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
yup .. Cntrl/D == tanks Cntrl/J == weapons (excepting gun pods and jammer pods) -
Drop tank issue.
Wrench replied to Schattenreich's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
iirc, drop tanks are a different keystroke from bombs/rocket pods. Been a while, so ... ??? -
forgot to mention, many are also on YouTube; I found some that had been colorized!!! enjoy!

Classic 1950's TV!!! The stuff we (ok, me and those of us 'of a certain age') I was going to watch the latest season of "Clarkson's Farm", when this show popped up on my 'reccomended' list Steve Canyon for those that don't know, it was originally a comic strip, then a TV show in 1959. It showcases the USAF in various stories. Here's the IMBD link https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0051317/ If you have Amazon Prime, and it shows up your region, it's well it, just for the aircraft and such.

Fictional USCG Osprey
Wrench replied to ext's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
Nice! Always wondered why the CG never thought to use them -
MiG-21bis engine WEP mode
Wrench replied to tiopilotos's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
Like Coupi said above, try looking at the F-86E/F/H engine sections. Fubar did a kind of 'fake engine' for the extra power thingy. -
A standard Phantom F-4E for the RAF
Wrench replied to Spinners's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Sci-Fi/Anime/What If Forum
that's NUTS!!! -
how to stop deleted base game aircraft objects from reappearing?
Wrench replied to clim995's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
like we do for the WW2 installs, leave one of each type "modern" birds. I use the A-4E and Mig-21MF. So far (15+ years) the others haven't repopulated -

Wrench replied to Spinners's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Sci-Fi/Anime/What If Forum
I did those back in 2011 -- they should still be in the downloads section, someplace!!! -
Taliban popping everywhere

Nose numbers on one of MyTai's Phantom skins only only left side
Wrench replied to Slant6's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
i'm surpriesed you got them to work at all. The f-4 have been remapped since 1stGens; you'll need to use the latest decal ini, properly edited, to get them positioned correctly. I had to do this on ALL Mytai's Phantoms. It's not hard, just a pain in the ass. Also, check for the proper Level= statements -- some are NOT correct also -- double check the statement for the fuselage_front (right). I think you'll see the mistake right off -
Moving carrier decks after takeoff from said carrier
Wrench replied to EricJ's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
That's because the game engine uses the magic supplied by Elric of Melnibone's "The Ship That Sails Over Land and Sea" -
Is it possible to extract .wav sounds using file extractor?
Wrench replied to Slant6's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
It should be; Hell, I don't even know which cat file they're hiding in!! Hopefully, somebody will know. if it's a stock sound, one can always steal it from a 1stGen game (I've done that before!!) Soundlist ini might need editing, but that's not a big deal -

Oh, I LIKE those breakwaters!!!! -
What will be next ?
Wrench replied to UllyB's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
I guess I should go ahead and release the Greyhound. be advised, there are some FM issue, and it's the late model, with the 8 (6?) bladed props, not the early ones. anything wrong with it, not fixable by ini work, will be there forever, as we don't have the MAX files. iirc, capun may also have an x15, but I'm not sure. if i also remember, he'd figured out a way to make water landing NOT a crash for float planes and flying boats. We'd need to study the data ini and possibly the lod itself (fake skid??? ) -
What will be next ?
Wrench replied to UllyB's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
There is a Ki-84, but I suspect it's DAT, judging by the lod naming conventions We also have a Betty, but it 's reaaallllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllly old (ArmorDave old) and needs replacing But whatever Ully chooses, we'll all be happy -
What will be next ?
Wrench replied to UllyB's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
I 2nd the Tracker/Tracer S-2 variants. We've been missing them forEVER!! (and the COD version maybe, too??)
