Does anyone having a working Nike SAM?
Wrench replied to dtmdragon's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
look in the Bering Straits, Mid-West USA terrain and there's another I can't remember... base layouts and objects should be in both. -
Now, let us begin ...
Wrench replied to Wrench's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - World War II Forum
already reworking it ... lot's of paddy tiles to remove (many places are more like open grass fields (using G1 - think of razor or elephant grass), especially in central Burma along the Irrawady). Already added lots of new tiles; my 'specials', and so on. I can tell you right off, running the majority of the rivers is going to be a task! Around Rangoon there's dozens of little streams, rivers, inlets and so on. It's going to take time, for sure. I don't mind hand tiling -- pretty much all my terrain mods are done that way. The flood tool does come in hand, but you've got to be REAL CAREFUELL where you touch!! -
DAT B-26b and 06 level installs...
Wrench replied to TSMcQueen's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Prop Heads Forum
the one is the SF2 WW2 planes is Veltro's original, with some reworking by me. Should work fine, other than converting the jpg skins back to bmp. Obviously, some statements in the data ini won't be functional, but I see no reason why it wouldn't work ps: should have said "Marauder" in the first post!! -

data ini and loadout ini need updating extract new ones (assuming this is the stock 3w Intruder, as might be the case with the 'built into the aircraft lod' drop tanks) -

Korean Air War mod issue

he's NOT speaking of the KAW mod -- iirc, this is Spectre's all-in-one thingy (but could be wrong) Ours never have a campaign built for it. Sadly -

Calling All Seasoned Terrain Gurus - Final Tweaking needed for Desert4
Wrench replied to Piecemeal's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
no, you absolutely NEED the shipping routes!! Otherwise, you'll won't have any auntie-ship missions the 'naval zones' are only for allowing the game engine to generate carrier and surface action battle groups baff: no, that was me in photoshop! Had to do that to make sure the terrain was flat(ish) for the river. I tried 4 times to get the Great Glen in, but just couldn't quite get it right. Pity. I really wanted Loch Ness in there (even if no 3d guy made Nessie for me) Did the same a Stornawy (sp?), too Sometimes you have to sacrifice geophysical reality for how the damn tile system works -
best order of full merge?
Wrench replied to deanklef's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
what I sad was "SF2:I is not a good base for a WW2 centric mods folder" the 3W installer is the way to go! -

ask Baltika! He did the base TFD/HFD (from 2 DEMS) for me the ini says the map is 2000 x 2000 I won't be targeting anything further east than Haiphong, as Hinan doesn't really play a part in ww2; at least not in reference to the main B/I operations. Although there was a small IJN naval base with attached aircraft (some Zeros, Mavis Emily) for sea search/recon. Also leaves plenty of space away from the Eastern Wall be using GH3, of course, and MANY of my GH3 speced 'specials', including the new river-paddy tiles and the various port tiles -
Germany terrain rework (Wip)

I LOVE how the runway and base is merged with the forest. Accurate item placement like that can be a nightmare!!! good work!! -
Calling All Seasoned Terrain Gurus - Final Tweaking needed for Desert4
Wrench replied to Piecemeal's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
check the movement ini for the shipping routes (Gerwins tools is OUTSTANDING for this!!) actually, for islands, I've found exporting the height map as bitmap, and the repainting their location to the blue sea color really helps when it comes to placing airbases on them. When flattened, they remain at 'sea level'. Of course, this assumes NO mountains on the island... the tile misplace looks like an errant mouse click -- been there, done that!!! -

did you change the games year span in the options ini??? as per http://combatace.com/topic/68224-adjusting-beginning-end-year-spread/ you shouldn't ever have to touch the date in a mission, if this is correct. -

East India (the city under the 2 airfields top center is Calcutta) btw, the part of india on the east side of the bay (of Bengal) is now Bangladesh, Burma, Thailand, French Indo-china*, parts of southern china, Tibet/Nepal, Malaya (RAF Tengah=Singapore), eastern Sumatra in the lower right corner Andaman and Nicobar islands near the center basically, almost the entire CBI Theatre, minus China north of Kunming. If you look on the right (eastern) coast of Indo-china, and follow the coatline past the large island (aka Hinan Island), you'll see a large U shape in the coastline. That's where Hong Kong is. all the major rives will need doing ... all the cities added (yes, the future Vietnams will get their cities, and least Hanoi, Haiphong -a major Japanese port-, Saigon, etc. *-what will become Laos, Cambodia and both Vietnams Don Muang = Bangkok Mingladon = Rangoon in theory, this map could be used for more than just ww2 -- the (?) Indo-East Pakistan (Bangladesh) war, Malayan Emergency, possibly even a replacement for the stock VNSEA -- all of Thailand and Vietnam are usable- for SF2V . I will be leaving spaces for the locations of post-ww2 & 1960's historic airbases -

could've use that pile of coal on the Euro WW2 map!! I put the refineries and gassification plants in ... but no coal!! those stock cranes just don't cut it ... we've needed better ones for a loooooooooong time! The af51 has (nearly) the right shape, but is 1/2 the size it should be nice work; sure that comm tower isn't for Star Wars??? looking good!
