I know when I rebuilt the WW2 EAW map, and added roads, I used them for truck routes. But like DA said, I think Rends GCE may have them too -

SF2 TMF Boeing 707 300 Series Update Pack
Wrench posted a topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - File Announcements
View File SF2 TMF Boeing 707 300 Series Update Pack SF2 TMF Boeing 707 300 Series Update Pack 5/14/2023 -For SF2, Any and All (Full 4/5 Merged Recommended) This is the complete aircraft, set up as to NOT conflict with the mods of the 707 produced by DaddyAirplanes. Some renanming has been done to make sure of the lack of conflicts. This is a fairly small modification of the Boeing 707 jetliner released many years ago by The Mirage Factory. What this mod does, is using ONLY the 4 original skins, adds 100% historically correct registration numbers, and in the case of PanAm, the "Clipper" name of the aircraft. Just in case you've forgotten what skins there are ... BOAC - 14 aircraft 1960-86 El Al - 12 aircraft 1961-2018 Pan American - 18 aircraft 1958-99 TMA Air Cargo - 6 aircraft 1965-2004 All these markings are decals, and decal randomization is TRUE. The Data ini has some edits, adding the "Exported to Enemy = TRUE" line. The nations used for these 4 are STOCK in game ones. (RAF=BOAC, USAF=PanAm, Lebannon=TMA). A userlist in included, that is by NO MEANS complete. End users are encouraged to add skins, "air forces" and whatever is required to expand the line. A cockpit is included, but as this bird is mostly for eye candy, player flight is not reccomended (no defenses of any kind!!). As such, there are NO hangar or loading screens. When in game, you'll see Boeing 707-300 Series (TMF) on the aircraft selection drop down menu. This should (and will) deferentiate it from DA's mods. This aircraft DOES represent many different versions of the 300 series, so the name is fairly accurate. As is always recommended, unzip to a temp folder or your desktop to give easy access to the rest of this readme for it's install instructions. Happy Landings!

that's because of the collision meshes of the object. otherwise, you couldn't bomb them. specific hangers, with custom tailored specificly shaped collision meshes would be needed for that. just a note -- there IS a static 707 avilable if one knows where to look -

I revamped the original release skins for the TMF 707-300, (BOAC, ElAl, PanAm, TMA) with 100% historically correct registration numbers. The PanAm birds even have their matching Clipper names I just never released them, as they'd conflict with what DA has done with his Level2 tgas to change markings. Lot of other internal data ini changes, too, mostly minor. I mean, I could release it, just with the stipulation that there WILL be issues with combining the pack. -

one wonders, that for parked vehicles in a parking lot, if a single lod could be made for that. having various sizes and shapes from vans, light trucks, 2 door and 4 door vehicles. the mapping would be a nightmare, having to have all kinds of different colors for the various meshes. (like the piles/stack of containers we have already) just tossing that out -

it's not USN_Stencil? I know that's used for Modex, BuAirNum, and various squadron lettering -
Pity if that happens, be another lost sale for TK, and a pissoff customer. Great for the advertising for the whole family of sims. Pony: did you get a download link? Last time I bought something from 3W store (albeit a LONG time ago), I got the ability to download the item right way, and never needed an access code. Just downloded, and ran the installer

don't forget people, you can always find the location by turning debug ON in the HUDData ini. Extract it from the FlightDataCat (iirc), drop it into the /Flight folder, and do this to the first section: [Debug] //DisplayDebug=FALSE DisplayDebug=TRUE you can easily turn it off in-game, by hitting alt-d twice (or is it 3 time???) you can also remove the annyoing background "box" round all text by scrolling down further and doing this: [InfoDisplay] //BackgroundImage=TextBackground.tga BottomLeftPosition=0.01,0.985 BottomRightPosition=0.99,0.985 DisplayWidth=0.20 VerticalBorder=0.0015 HorizontalBorder=0.008 EnemyTargetColor=1.0,0.0,0.0,1.0 FriendlyTargetColor=0.0,0.0,1.0,1.0 UnknownTargetColor=1.0,1.0,0.0,1.0 WaypointColor=1.0,1.0,1.0,1.0 TextFile=HUDText.str NormalColor=1.0,1.0,1.0,1.0 WarningColor1=1.0,1.0,0.0,1.0 WarningColor2=1.0,0.0,0.0,1.0 AGLAltStart=609.6 AGLAltWarning=152.4 then, it's a simple matter to note down the area of interest.
