P-3A/B "Orion" Pak by Wrench/Florian 1/1/23 -- For SF2, Any & All -- This is a mod to Florian's Lockheed P-3C "Orion" martime patrol and anti-submarine aircraft, "backdating" it to the original P-3A & B models of the early 1960s through 1980(ish). Consider this a "new(ish)" airplane. Included are 3 US Navy skins, representing early Orions in Fleet service. Early Paint Scheme of Seaplane Grey/White: VP-8 Tigers (2nd oldest still active USN squadron) VP-46 Grey Knights Late Paint Scheme (1968 & later) Light Gull Grey/White: VP-5 Mad Foxes The SF2 date switch is active. Each skin gets a set of 18 Serial (BuNum) and Modex numbers. VP-5 gets it Fox tail art as well. As is usual, those BuNums matched to their Modex are marked with a star (*). The others, while correct for their squadrons, could not be matched to a Modex. All skins are in jpg format. All new decals are included. Decal randomization for ALL skins is TRUE. All markings are decals, EXCEPT the VP-5 blue tail fin top. It had to be painted on, for some odd reason I've yet to sus out. All sounds, weapons* and various misc stuff are included. (*weapons are the same as the ones included in the recently uploaded P-3C Remod Pack) As always, =READ= the enclosed readme for full, detailed instructions. PLEASE read it!!! Happy Landings!

Everyone: OK to resume uploads

Thanks boss! I think the entire community owes Erik a HUGE thank you. If fact, if you're so moved, perhaps maybe doing something for CombatAce. Like, maybe a subscription?? Something to think about Like Erik said, if anyone finds something amiss, shoot me a PM with the link to the issue, and we'll try to get it sorted -

I'm also looking a fiddling with Russo's T-34A/B Mentors; giving them more accurate decals and such. They're unarmed trainers, so not really much for them to do but sit around and look pretty. But, that's good enough for me! Pennsocola is not on OTC ... it end in central Floridia -
Nodding donkey, Seesaw, bounce, oscillation
Wrench replied to alexis99's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
gimmie them numbers for the Banshee!!!! That has bothered me for like, forever!!! Needs to fixes!!! the "collison mesh" for the tailhook is a vitural item. That's how we made aircraft, without hooks land successfully on carriers. -

Wrench replied to alexis99's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
the world center (0,0,0) of model is NOT the CG for the flight model.They can differ by a large number (several meters at times) I'm sure there are times when the DO coincide, but that's probably rare as hen's teeth. -
SF2 Skins - have they been accidentally moved?

I've let Erik know. Hopefully, all will be back to normal soon. -
Newbe Question New to SF2 series.
Wrench replied to sixstrings's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
THAT is a fantastic idea! Reminds me of the Dark DOS Days, when games came with either printable or already printed keyboard controls sheets (thinking Falcon 3 here). -
Add nations
Wrench replied to Del2i's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
The IIAF changes to IRIAF, according the games nations.ini in 1979. The change is automatic could you show us a screenshot of the issue, most likely from the loadout screen, where nations are shown/selected. -

P-3C "Orion" Remod Pak
Wrench replied to Wrench's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - File Announcements
Should be out by the end of the week. Also, revamped your P-3F, too. New decals, stencling and such What I don't have is the searchlight for the right wing. I faked one by renaming/repainting the AD4N radar pod (you can see it on LC-8). Apparently, the Iranian F also carried it -
P-3C "Orion" Remod Pak
Wrench posted a topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - File Announcements
View File P-3C "Orion" Remod Pak P-3C "Orion" Remod Pak 12/19/22 -- For SF2, Any & All -- This is a fairly heavy overhaul, plus numerous additions, to Florian's Lockheed P-3C "Orion" maritime patrol and anti-submarine aircraft. Please be advised, as the physical model has not been "finished" since it's 2012 release, it may still be considered an "advanced Beta". 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 SHOULD work with no issues. But always think 'safety first'. The older, original skins have been completely revamped: USNGrey1 USNGrey2 *see notes about these 2* Royal Norwegian Air Force (No.333 Squadron) original Dark Sea Grey, and NEW Lo-Viz The new skins are: JMSDF -in both GullGrey/White and LoViz grey overall (see notes) RAAF -both #10 & #11 squadrons USN- VP-40 "Fighting Marlins" (GG/W) All skins are in jpg 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. As always, =READ= the enclosed readme for full, detailed instructions. There is also a huge amount of information in the "Notes" section. PLEASE read it!!! Happy Landings! Wrench Kevin Stein Submitter Wrench Submitted 01/01/2023 Category Other -

help Creating a .CAT file with a folder.
Wrench replied to Lolmin2908's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
There is no need and absolutely no reason to repack cat files. Any and all extracted files go into their various folders within the mods folder. example, in your case, all RWR lists go in the /Flight folder. All RWR tgas go in the flight folder. For specific aircraft, you can put their *name-of-plane* rwr.lst into BOTH the aircraft's folder AND the /Flight folder. Unless the warning sounds require a specfic noise, you shouldn't have to mess with the sound list file, either. -

Getting a new message from Chome "not longer supporting updates on Win 7. please switch to winge10 or later". Getting 10 or 11 is not really an option; this box is from 2008. Even though i'ts had 3 hard drives, at least 2 (maybe 3) vid cards, I know it's going to fail a some point. Just can't afford a new comp. Not for at least 6 - 12 months more. So, I"m looking for a good/easy/secure browser. I had Edge installed, but don't like how it handles bookmarks (also made the mistake of "import from..." and wouldn't delete them. kept coming back!) So, ideas folks? thanks!
