P-2H "Neptune" Remod Pak
Wrench posted a topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - File Announcements
View File P-2H "Neptune" Remod Pak P-2H "Neptune" Remod Pak 11/19/22 -- For SF2, Any & All -- This is a complete overhaul, plus numerous additions, to the P2V-7/P-2H Neptune package I released in 2011 (THAT long ago????!!!!). I was going over some things, and found numerous flaws and faults, and chose to fix them up. This package, due to numerous changes (listed in the Change Log), is designed to replace in total the early 2011 kit. If you have that original repackaging mod, you CAN just drop all of this one directly over it, or delete the aircraft and decals folders and start fresh. Your Choice (tm). Either way will work with no issues. Skin sets NOW included are: These 3 from the original 2011 pack-- VP-18 "Flying Phantoms", NAS Jacksonville as seen during the Cuban Missile Crisis VP-65 "Tridents", NAS Point Magu, in the mid/late 1960s through the 1970s VP-69 "Totems", NAS Whidbey Island, in the 1970s plus ... 320 Squadron, RNNAS (now included) The new skins are: JMSDF (2,3,4 & 51 Kokutais)-squadron insginia are randomly applied RAAF (10 & 11 Squadrons) - early EngineGray/White and late GullGray/White skins French Aeronavale - Flotilles 21/23(ish) USN -- VP-9 "Golden Eagles, NAS Barbers Point (Early EngineGray/White) VP-18 "Flying Phantoms" NAS Jacksonville, NAS Rossevelt Roads (Early EG/W) Argentina -- Both original COAN skins NOW included! The only country's skins NOT included are the RCAF/CF by 1977Frenchie; his set for the CP-122 which is good enough to stand on it's own :) . All skins remain in their original bmp format. All new decals are included, "almost" all with historically matching BuNums-to-Modex numbers (wherever possible, and the information was discoverable). Decal randomization for ALL skins is TRUE. For those forces with paint scheme changes at specific years, the SF2 Date Switch (tm) is active. This can be seen on the Loading Screen, skin/squadron drop-down menu as shown below: VP-9 Golden Eagles (>1962) (before 1962) or VP-69 Totems (<1964) (after 1964) As always, =READ= the enclosed readme for full, detailed instructions. This package has been broken down into the various folders that SF2 needs, to make it a LOT easier to install. Happy Landings!

Some weapons aren't showing up
Wrench replied to thejackie's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
Personally, mixing and matching weapons is pretty much a no-no. For a 'vanilla' non specific mods folder, the regular weapons paks are MORE than sufficient. -
well, I installed Firefox this morining ... so far so good. No issues importing the few bookmarks from Chrome, and I'm liking the way it looks. thank you gents!!
-
150 -200 tabs open!!! no wonder it slows down!!! I think the most I've ever had is like 5. Just me of course!!!! so, the consesus seem to be Firefox. Is it thought controlled, too??? (grin)

600gal Centerline Tank for F-4
Wrench replied to andrej_tank's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
even if there was one, you'd have to edit the data ini to remove the one that's built into the aircraft's lod. All SF2 aircraft (well, almost all) have their drop tanks as part of the main aircraft lod. Personally, it's not worth the effort. Just the opinion of a very long time user/modder. -

Ok, people. We all know what's happening out there. What I wanted to do here, is give you all a place to vent, commiserate, give support, whatever you want. Tell us what's going on in your part of the world. What you're feeling thinking, experiencing. Photos, videos, links to local news services, etc are all OK. Since a lot of you don't have you location linked, tell us where you are (city, country) Think of this as a therapy thread, if you want. Please, all be safe and take care of each other. I'll be posting my thoughts/feelings later; just wanted to get this ball rolling This thread will be pinned at the top of this forum. Kevin "Wrench" Stein Los Angeles California
