P-40 Needs Repair
Wrench replied to RAVEN's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - World War II Forum
that's going to look pretty damn cool! I assume you've assigned a zinc chromate 'material' to the spars and ribs? -

Bombsight mod for B52 bombers in SF2
Wrench replied to Wolfgang76's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
stratoforts never had optical bombsights ... it was all done by radar (I had a cousin that that was his job - radar navigator). best thing to do is leave the heavies under AI control, they WILL get the job done -

RAAF Kittyhawks, SWP
Wrench replied to Wrench's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - World War II Forum
sorry, brudda! sidetracked by RL the "8P" could be the HQ squadron (8th Pursuit, possibly before SWP deployment, approx. Dec 41) the AVG looks like "hells Angels" squadron (2nd? pursuit) the KH is an RAF desert air force (north Africa) interesting that the sheet calls for "P-40B", which is the Tomahawk, not the E Kittyhawk -
F-11F
Wrench replied to slick cowboy's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
looks like a material issue. be advised, you'll probably run into decal bleeds, too. (all of pasko's aircraft have it to some level) be aware, that all of Pasko's models are EXCEEDINGLY old, there's no access to MAX files, and that's that. you should find a buttload of skins & ini mods in the D/Ls that , iirc, ChampionVA56 did a few years ago. -

WW2 Screenshots Thread
Wrench replied to Wrench's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Screen Shots
depends on what year... there's some much conflicting data as to how WHICH airplane in WHAT squadron was painted.... sometimes best to go 'generic' -
Early RAF Kittyhawks
Wrench replied to Spinners's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Sci-Fi/Anime/What If Forum
not with an E model ... didn't start production until approx. mid 41 (last quarter?) first B/C models entered USAAC squadron service 6/40 RAF deliveries 11/40 (Tomahawk IIA) great looking skin, though!! -

SF2 WW2 PTO RAAF Kittyhawk Mk.IA Pak
Wrench posted a topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - File Announcements
File Name: SF2 WW2 PTO RAAF Kittyhawk Mk.IA Pak File Submitter: Wrench File Submitted: 17 June 2013 File Category: P-40 SF2 WW2 PTO RAAF Kittyhawk Mk.IA Pak -- Something for the WW2 PTO players -- = For SF2 ONLY, Full-5 Merged (Reccomended/Preferred) = *Note: this pak MAY be usable in 1stGen SF/Wo* game installs. However, some features (decal randomization) will NOT be functional. Use in 1stGens has not, and cannot be, tested by me.* **Notex2: this mod is designed for use ONLY in a PTO-Centric mods folder** A first, I was just going to do a simple skin/decals pack. But with all the "modifications" made to fit (better) into SF2, in particular the 5/2013 patch level (oi!), chose to take the "lazy man's way out" and just upload the entire aircraft. When in-game, on the aircraft selection drop-down, you'll see Kittyhawk Mk.1A (Raven) This will diferentiate this for any other Kittyhawks you may (or may not) have. This is the full aircraft, "nationalized" for Australian use, as stated above, with my 'tweeked' sf2-ish data ini (and a backuped copy of the original too!). The skin included is for... No.75 Squadron, RAAF as seen from mid/late April 1942 in the Port Moresby, PNG area Skins remain in their bmp format. New DDS damage textures (usable on all Raven's Warhawk/Kittyhawk in SF2 only) are included! New aircraft plane-in-group letter decals, and RAAF serials - 95% historically accurate - matched to the individual letter, are included. On the numberlist, those marked with a star (*) have been postively confirmed to have served in 75 Squadron. All markings are decals, and Decal Randomization is TRUE. There are no nose arts. Also, via the use of my (patent pending) fake SqTail decal, the squadron name display is now active on the Loadout Screen. No weapons are included, except an SF2 Version of the drop tank (for those that haven't converted it yet). New theatre-specific Hangar and Loading screens are included, too. The skins have been run through the template (thank you Raven for that!), and have had a layer of dirt and 'clouds' added for weathering. As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. PLEASE read them!! Good Hunting!! Wrench Kevin Stein Click here to download this file -
SF2 WW2 PTO RAAF Kittyhawk Mk.IA Pak
Wrench replied to Wrench's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - File Announcements
for me downloads (and uploads) are working fine. Of course, as a moderator ... the site software may have turned us on first might have something to do with the site rebuild. Give Erik a bit; should be fine in a day or so. If not, I'll make arrangements -
What Freeware aircraft would you like to see?
Wrench replied to Wrench's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - World War II Forum
been there, done that, around 2007 (ju87t and 109T). Of course, GZ is just EAGLE reflagged.... it's a stand in 109T, as we don't have one with the extended wings and spoilers -
BOB terrain Bugs
Wrench replied to Veltro2k's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - World War II Forum
ok, since my version is, well...a bit f**ked up (my doing!).. I redownloaded the terrain and looked at the original targets ini. what I think you need to do, Ed, is extract all 6 of the Desert airfield inis, and toss them into the BoB terrain folders. Allow the overwrite go from there now, iirc, Gepard put static models (terrain object) aircraft in some of the parking slots, we can fix that later! -

well, that just proves your still human!! the A-6E (& TRAM) and E-2 Hawkeye are stock 3w aircraft and came with SF2NA. less than 3 minutes work to get them flyable (provided you have WoV to "borrow" the cockpit for the Intruder from. -

SF2 WW2 PTO P-40E Skin Pak

However, some features (decal randomization, dds damage textures) will =NOT= be functional. Use in 1stGens has not, and cannot be, tested by me.* Some reskins for Raven's recently Released P-40E Warhawk. These skins represent USAAF squadrons in the South West Pacific (SWP) -northern Australia, New Guinea- region from approximately April 1942 onwards. And a "interesting" skin, as I hate wasting decals (grin). In this pack you'll get: 7th FS, 49th FG -Bunyaps (OD/Grey) 8th FS, 49th FG -Black Sheep (Green/Tan/Grey camo) 9th FS, 49th FG -Iron Knights (OD/Grey) and... The Flying Legion (OD/Grey) - somewhat of a "What If..." skin from the motion picture "Sky Captain and the World of Tommorrow. You may keep it, or delete as you desire. I won't be insulted or hurt; I promise!! Skins remain in their bmp format. New DDS damage textures (usable on all Raven's Warhawk/Kittyhawk in SF2 only) are included! New aircraft plane-in-group number decals, in correct sequencing for the 3 Real Life squadron are included. Decal randomization is TRUE for all skins. There are no nose arts. The squadron patch is used for the 7th, 8th and 9th FS. Also, via the use of my (patent pending) fake SqTail decal, the squadron name display is now active on the Loadout Screen. My modified Loadout ini is also included. As is an SF2 Version of the drop tank (for those that haven't converted it yet). The skins have been run through the template (thank you Raven for that!), and have had a layer of dirt, stains and 'clouds' added for weathering. A rebuilt version of my "Box Art" style Hangar screen, USAAF PTO specific (in SF2 jpg format) is included. As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included.
