WW2 WIPs Thread
Wrench replied to Wrench's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - World War II Forum
I have Bpao's MAX files for the uncompleted (well, partly completed - I have the exported LOD, but haven't tested it in game) Mirage Factory Mk.9 Spit. Be easier to start with that, to build the HFs from, or even the early Griffon powered VII (?) Just a matter of permission from Crusader to share it to a willing party. -
No pilot & copilot, in the "seat_f-4"?
Wrench replied to AGOSTINO's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
that works if you want an unmanned Drone. Did that for the QF-100D I did several years ago -
Flap help!
Wrench replied to RAVEN's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
Think I know what bird this is... checked both the others that are out, and neither has the correct flap animations, They just move down Spent a couple of hours last night scrounging for books, as the D&S has NOTHING on the flaps!!! but they definitely DO slid aft, then down. Not really Fowler type but close.There's several pictures (the best is one failing a wave off), and you can clearly see sky between the flaps and the lower wing. This is more of a question of HOW to animate the flaps, as opposed to the way they right? -

Hey Spitfire Artists......
Wrench replied to Dave's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - World War II Forum
InAF Spitfires carried their RAF serials, as per "Modler's Datafile #5, Griffon Powered Spitfires" Sandesh may have a link to exactly WHICH serials were used. might chech at BR: http://www.bharat-rakshak.com/IAF/ if you need the book, let me know (apprx 45megs -damn pdf's don't compress much!) -
Request, while waiting for the downloads section?
Wrench replied to AGOSTINO's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
Sundowner's templates are the BEST!!! Hands down -
Hey Spitfire Artists......
Wrench replied to Dave's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - World War II Forum
I'd rather have the Griffon powered mk. VII (or is it XII ? -- the one with the full deck, not cut down for a bubble canopy) besides, I'm NOT painting those frakking invasion stripes on... -
Need help IDing a ship
Wrench posted a topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
and it's maker. I'm reasonably certain it NOT a DAT model, nor Hinchbrooke. Mabye Geo??? It had been located inside several ancient terrain folders. I've converted it to a usable ship, but it needs more dialing in, expecially on weapons mountings (actually using it as a cargoship, and it shoot back!) We've had this boat for quite a while!! The lod is dated 6/26/2005, and is just called "Destroyer.lod" as you can see, 1 each, single mount (either 3" or 5") in 2 turrets fore and aft. 2 (probably) 20mm mounts abaft of B turret 2 (again, prob) 20mm mounts abaft the single stack tall radar mast midships, 8 torpedo tube midhips 2 Twin 40mm mounts aft of the tube, 2 depth charge racks I'm pretty sure it's NOT a DE; too many main mounts anyone have any ideas, and would anyone like to fiddle/correct the weapons (they don't have to move, just shoot!! TIA! -

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!) -
@ Dave
Wrench replied to Wrench's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
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 -
Alternate place to DL?
Wrench replied to MrGoTime's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion

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??? -
