3W's Mustang mesh name
Wrench replied to amariani's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - World War II Forum
antiglare_nose nose looking into the (pre-lock archived) lod, those are the only 2 named nose meshes. looking for "top" gives use clip_top_L clip_top_R (no idea what THOSE are!!!) however... anti_glare_fuselage turns up worth a try, eh!! (btw, liked the 'fragile but agile' skin .. there was a write up on the REAL aircraft in the December 2013 issue of 'Flight Journal') -
RAZBAM models worth it?
Wrench replied to MrGoTime's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
fixing the skin is only the matter of a few hours work redrawing some lines, and color matching to fill over the stuff not wanted. Then, the real work is decal placements; but again, only a few hours work. if Ron does fix the few (relatively) small issues, I'd find the money somehow, and get them again too!!! -
Labels only?

WW2 WIPs Thread
Wrench replied to Wrench's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - World War II Forum
dude, seriously? need I remind you, it's still a 'work in progress?' I've given him copies of BOTH volumes of the detail and scale books that covers ALL Tomahawk/Warhawk marks, inside and out. you can't use il2 as the basis for comparison to real life or even to SF -

Paint scheme just won't let me select an insignia.
Wrench replied to ThunderCloud's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
this might be worth reading (albeit some changes from 2005, like randomization allows for LESS than the used-to-be required 18 Level 2 decals) http://combatace.com/files/file/345-strike-fighters-decal-tutorial/ also, although designed for decal creation, still an informative read -
Paint scheme just won't let me select an insignia.
Wrench replied to ThunderCloud's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
Level=0 -- national insignia Level=1 -- squadon marking (badge, etc) Level=2 -- serial/modex/bunm/plane-in-group-letter Level=3 -- kill markings there's also other considerations; is the aircraft exported? is the nation being selecting on the user list??? is that nation allowed on the terrain being flow on (terrain, LimitedNations=TRUE, with those allowed in the terrain's _Nations.ini) Is the skin's textureset.ini set for a specific nation, or generic?? need more information; not enough in the original post -
Type of Fonts for GAF and AMI?
Wrench replied to ace888's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
check my FW-190 and Me-109s; there's a bunch of single number LW decals in the outlined style. Be an awful lot of work to convert back to bmp, then to a psd (as dopey me through OUT the original bmps ages ago..) -

NEED SOME IDEAS FOR NEW TERRAIN
Wrench replied to ignacioc91's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mission & Campaign Building Discussion
I have a MUCH better source. You tell me what part of the world, and I'll go get the charts. Need exact country names and such (looks like western South Africa and points north, cape of good hope?) you're gonna HATE the choice of IsrealME tiles...trust me on this!!! The city tiles need to be completely rebuilt to properly orient them to the cardinal points, the tods will need replacement to match the new tile headings (they all twisted 45 deg off the usual N/S, E/W orientation of ALL the other tilesets. I had nightmares -- and still do -- from the Midwest USA map when I had mistakenly chosen the IME tiles for use. -

Wrench replied to ace888's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
what about the ww2 IJAAF/IJN number set? You'd need to create a bazillion-layered psd, as the numbers a one layer on this, and probably do some 'inverting', but they are outlilned (albit not perfect...) -
Real world problem...

Experimental cockpit for ANY aircraft
Wrench replied to wingwiner's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - File Announcements
I tested it on the SF2E Mig-23P, and it worked with very little issues (just had to add the sf2 fx statements to the DTV section) it's like Kesselbruts SF1 WW2 cockpits there's NO problems with them in SF2, and they were built around 2006!!!... all old stuff (lod wise) works in SF2. It reads both ansi and Unicode lods as to the plug in, iirc, you need max 2009. but not to be worrying!! EVERYTHING you've made works perfectly in SF2 -

How did I get this smoke?
