Air Fields not working in campaign
Wrench replied to TheWarrior's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mission & Campaign Building Discussion
Betty's and Nell's are IJN There were many full Kokutai of Val and Kate operating from Rabaul too (to say nothing of various mark Zekes) Sally is Japanese Empire (IJAAF). if importing DAT, you'll have the Lilly Helen (don't know if they were used in Solomons Campaign, they were in New Guinea) I don't count the Dinah, as that's a recon bird that's pretty much it for JAAF bombers -

capsule 01 and 02 are the outer gun barrel thingys (the short ones) I'll start trying the others! (knew it is/was most likely one of them, looking at the hiercary of the OUT) thanks Raven (this is one we don't have the MAX files for. OTH, I do have Oli's MAX files for an uncompleted Mk.9!) -

actually, the spinner color denotes which "flight" the aircraft is in ... but I can't find which flight use what color (red, yellow, possibly blue or black) OTH, the green rudder is the 14th PRS, 7th PRG. also the fact that it'd be impossible to do, other than a colored decal at Level=2. So, they stay PRU blue OTH, the serials are 100% historically accurate. Have a source for them. The only thing NOT historic, is the size of production sequence letters (MB, PA, PL). I took the easiest, laziest way. it's TMF/MM Mk VIII redone as the PR Mk.XI. Note the removal of the IFF aerial from horizontal fin to fuselage. Still haven't figure out the cannon bulge node names, though -
Make use of TW A-6 Cockpit
Wrench replied to orsin's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
you need to have the Object cat from WoV to extract the A-6A cockpit files from. Also, sometimes the 1stGen Extractor goes tits up in Winge 7 (at least for me!) Gerwin's extractor works just fine, however. -
Air Fields not working in campaign
Wrench replied to TheWarrior's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mission & Campaign Building Discussion
speaking of airfields, there's al "glitch" in the operational year-wise for the Japanese bases on New Georgia and Bouginville. they should "turn off" when Torokina becomes active. Something I forgot to do they are: (north to south..) Buka Bonis Empress Agusta Bay Kahli Kara Ballelie (sp?) Barkoma (vella levala) -------- Also, check the aircraft data ini --- most medium bombers are speced for MEDIUM airfields (1, 2, 5, 6, and in this case, 7) limiting them to the 'larger' fields around Rabaul. Which would be historically correct -

I take you haven't (or didn't) download the EAW WW2 Euro Terrain rebuild. to answer the question, yes. Meaning: the airfield IS in Great Britan -

Hey Spitfire Artists......
Wrench replied to Dave's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - World War II Forum
thanks! XI didn't have any guns, and "loosly" based off the Mk VIII fuselage, with retracting tail wheel. I assume (oh! that word!!!) it was released before the TMF mk VIII? -
Hey Spitfire Artists......
Wrench replied to Dave's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - World War II Forum
in what respect Dave? new AvHistory engine sound, opening canopy, "attached" tail light? Adjusted rate-of-climb throttle setting (wwaaaaay too low stock), corrected armor values, ww2 pilot, loadouts, flaps only on landing, etc etc etc.... Hangar and loading screens? (of course, those are in the as-yet-unavailable D/L section) Skins & Decals??? (for mk 9) what you need, brudda??? -
WW2 WIPs Thread

1st look!! Cocas Aircraft Factory, Spitfire Mk.V (Trop) !!!! (417, RCAF, Libya 1942-3) still lots of skinning and ini work, but though you all might want to see it. -

more proper 44 gal 'torpedo' tank, serials and call letters. repositioned vertical camera lenses ------- so, if we have one already, what's being said is I wasted 2+ hours last night doing this one up?? anybody got screenies of it? Cause I don't recall ever seeing it before.... -
Hey Spitfire Artists......
Wrench replied to Dave's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - World War II Forum
quick and dirty (well, not too dirty...) circa November 1942: PR.XI, using the 3w mk 9. I have to move the vertical camera lenses back about 1/2 meter...the oblique lens is perfect. Some references call the mk VII with all guns, as it was used for medium and low level, but the XI apparently was totally unarmed. So I need to figure out the frakking mesh names for the 4 gun barrels. Or just go nonhistorical, and leave them in. You all know how lazy I am... btw, the MkVII was basically the mk v with some mods and stuff (larger oil tank, additions fues fuel tank, 50 gallon external 'slipper' tanks, and so forth. color is FS matched RAF PRU Blue edit: NM -- forgot about the FR Mk.IX ... 3 camera and ALL armament. Simplest way to go -

Rare 1940 P-40 Variant
Wrench replied to RAVEN's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - World War II Forum
too bad we're NOT doing a Crimson Skies mod!! I do think it's kinda cool, though. -
Hey Spitfire Artists......
Wrench replied to Dave's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - World War II Forum
Yup, need the Mk.V Trop first. waaaaayyyyyyyyyyy ahead of you, Dave!!! I've already done ALL the decals for the 31st FG (307 -MX, 308 -HL & 309 -WZ) for the DAT Mk.V. Which are also used on the TMF Mk.VIII for the MTO (see below) turning it into a PR is not much work at alll I notice the pathfinder/recce Mossi in the background.... -

How Do You Make a Campaign With No Ground War?
Wrench replied to PFunk's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mission & Campaign Building Discussion
yah, but don't you still want armed recon truck killing and anti-shipping missions? Plotting routes for those is pretty easy
