all the more room for p0rn!!! I tested a old 1stGen from my external, since the exe is inside the game install, and it worked just fine! All my SF2 backups are zipped, so didn't want to unzip them

Can't have a B-24J without the Navy's version too!

check the 1stGen downloads??? I distinctly remember doing the 17s. You'll have to cross check the mapping on each individual skin map, as there MAY have been some changes from SF1 to SF2 as to the 15, I don't recall doing them

this may be of some assistance http://combatace.com/topic/19469-how-to-create-a-country-specific-aircraft/

Oh great! Now I gotta come up with a name??!!!

no

that's an AN/APQ-7 nav/attack radar. similar to H2S

Actually, shouldn't the name be a "celestial" type??? Lockheed corporate scheme has always been aerial objects or stuff (Constellation, Starfighter, Lightning, etc)

To eliminate the pilot issue, I'd suggest removing the included figure, and use one from this pak: http://combatace.com/files/file/8218-sovietrussian-pilots-pack-part-1-60s-80s/ remember, they'll need to be folderized for SF2 usage.

my guess is the "local" heights of the mountains. It (the terrainengine.dll) may read the highest peaks in the HFD, and raise the cloud deck to the fixed distance (whatever that may be) above them. Again, this is just a guess. The only one that could answer that is TK. Breath holding on that, I'm not. Terrains that are very mountainous, having VERY high mountains should be test flown. Ones like the Himalayas, Iran/Iraq, ANW. I've noticed this on the (in progress) CBI map, that contains the mid-to-eastern Himalayas (the Hump); the clouds are always several thousand feet above them.

cloud heights are locked. Can't remember if it was a 2011 or 2012 patch that did it. Because a bunch on non-modding whiney twats pitched a bitch over on the 3W forums, caused TK to take 'drastic measures". A lot of it was because of the tga bleeds; meaning trees showing through clouds and other (can't remember the name) buffer issues. So, having a terrain specific enviromentalsys ini does really nothing now. You'll note that none of my terrain mods use them

well maybe not. Hard to work on decals and skins while looking at the screen wearing sunglasses (it cuts down the glare and brightness. Cuts the pain associated with it too. The eye, as to be expected, is swollen about half shut -- makes it hard to watch TV too. The Bright California Sun ™ REEEEEAAALLLY hurts!. Feel like a flipping vampire, afraid of the day!! There's a 'bandage' contact lens in the eye -- and it's a big one, not like the regular ones I used 25 years ago. This is more like the one Bud used in "The Abyss" (full scalera?). Vision is blurry, as to be expected. Actually, abe half again as bad is it's always been (need new glasses for about a year) I'm hoping for at least a 50-75% improvement by middle of next week, when the contact is removed. You cannot imagine how boring the day is -- even with 600 cable channels, I'm having a problem finding something to watch!!

Topics Merged a note to WINGSOVERISREAL (who doesn't respond at ALL to PMs, or even member posts in his threads...) You WILL post the rest of your helo WIP pics in THIS thread. IF you open another one ... well, I leave it to your imagination

File Name: SF2 WW2 PB4Y-1 (B-24D) USN Liberator, ETO Pak by Veltro2K File Submitter: Wrench File Submitted: 03 May 2014 File Category: B-24 SF2 WW2 PB4Y-1 (B-24D) USN Liberator, ETO Pak by Veltro2K 4/28/2014 (Full 4/5 Merged Reccomended) **Having a merged install is reccomended, as the destroyed model references the stock 3W An-12's destroyed lod.** This pack contains a NEW aircrft, by Veltro2k; the US Navy's PB4Y-1 (B-24D) Liberator as seen in the Atlantic theatre (both North & South). This aircraft uses some SF2NA 'mission statements'. It is designed for use =ONLY= in the North Atlantic/ETO. Research has not turned up any data about USN "D" models being used in SoWesPac or CenPac. Or in the Med. The unit represented herein are: VPB-105, as based in the UK. The aircraft is finished in "Atlantic Sea Search" camo, and while 'assigned' to VPB-105, is representative of pretty much all USN VPB Liberator units as seen from Iceland to Brazil, and all points in between. The skins are in jpg format. All markings are decals (excepting the wing national markings). The BuNums are 'generic' in nature, as they represent no particular aircraft within a specific unit, but ARE for the model variant depicted. Decal randomization is set to TRUE. There are NO nose arts. Weapons, pilot figures and guns are NOT included; you should have them already. Damage textures are in DDS format. When in game you'll see PB4Y-1 (D) Liberator (v2k) The (D) expresses that this version is based of the B-24D model, NOT the J, L, or M. All USN/USMC/USCG versions were called PB4Y-1, regardless of what sub-variant. As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. PLEASE read them!!! PLEASE read the "Notes" section for other important notations, in particular for in-game usage. Happy Landings Wrench Kevin Stein Click here to download this file

File Name: SF2 WW2 MTO USAAF P-40K-5 Pak File Submitter: Wrench File Submitted: 02 June 2014 File Category: P-40 SF2 WW2 MTO USAAF P-40K-5 Pak 5/24/2014 -- Something for the WW2 MTO players -- = For SF2 ONLY, Full-5 Merged (Reccomended/Preferred) = *Note: this pak MAY be usable in 1stGen SF/Wo* game installs. However, some features (decal randomization and FM adjustments and several other things) will =NOT= be functional. Use in 1stGens has not, and cannot be, tested by me.* **Notex2: this mod is designed for use =ONLY= in a MTO-Centric mods folder** At first, I was just going to do a simple skin/decals pack. But with all the "modifications" made to fit into SF2 chose to take the "lazy man's way out" and am just uploading the entire aircraft. So, if you already have Raven's P-40K in your MTO-centric mods folder, best to back it up someplace. This is the full aircraft, with my 'tweeked' sf2-ish data ini. The skin included is for... 64th FS, 57 FG as seen in early 1943 in North Africa. Skins remain in their bmp format. New DDS damage textures (usable on all Raven's Warhawk/Kittyhawk in SF2 only) are included! All markings are decals, and Decal Randomization is TRUE. There are no nose arts. Also, via the use of my (patent pending) fake "SqTail" decal, the squadron name display is now active on the Loadout Screen. No weapons are included, except an SF2 Version of the drop tank (for those that haven't converted it yet), and 30# fragmentation bombs. When in-game, on the aircraft selection drop-down, you'll see P-40K-5 CU (Raven) This will diferentiate this for any other Warhawks you may (or may not) have. It should be noted, that of all the AAF P-40 equipped units in the Med, my source material stated that ONLY the 64th recieved the K model Warhawks. As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. PLEASE read them!! Good Hunting!! Wrench Kevin Stein (note: this is one I'd forgotten to finish a few months ago!

Damnit! I'd thought I'd fixed all that!! thank bro!

did you change the names in the textureste ini? Is the folder itself named to match? the textureset ini should look something like this (whre the * is the next number) [TextureSet00*] Directory=Paran Name=Paran Came Nation=Paran Specular=0.400000 Glossiness=0.400000 Reflection=0.000000 DecalNumberRandomize=TRUE

Groundhog Day --o with GUNS!!

I have an Arabic font around here someplace -- used it a long time ago on EAF Spitfires, and some others Have to search my archive externals (don't think I reinstalled that font after the HD crash over a year ago) for French, maybe just Amarillo? RAF, the RAF_pw_ath (like I use for ww2 lettering and serials

you may have to extract the paran insignia from the cat, and create a decal folder for it. Then, rewrite the pathways in the decals ini the textureset ini they speak of, should be placed IN that aircraft's skin folder. Creates a "paran only" aircraft

New J models coming soon to an English airbase near you

awesome pics! That Skytrain is just a BEAUT!!

shouldn't have to on the SF2-specific extractor. You should have the one dated 4/12/2012
