topic moved ---------- in the FW packs -all of them!-, you should have the 2 pylons in the /Objects/Pilots folder

there was a large and long discussion one this very subject a couple of years back, when we were working on the Indo-Pak mod. our conclusion, backed by ghostrider883's native insight was the IAF had developed anti-gravity, and hadn't told anyone. ---------- OTH, it's an animation issue do this to the airbrake statements: the only real way to fix it, is in MAX. The animations need to have the own settings, and NOT linked. With the above, the airbrakes will still work, but the gear doors just won't open. Gnats and Ajeets used the gear doors, opening seperatly from gear extension, as their airbrakes

I did the one at the DAT site, and if you'd all look around, you'll find some screenies of the PB-1W using veltro's 17G (it'll be released AFTER the regular G, as I need Ed to modify the lod by removing some bits) edit: http://combatace.com/topic/64401-ww2-wips-thread/page-5?do=findComment&comment=626874

yes, sometime around June 42 to the blue/white only below, 75 Squadron, RAAF over New Guinea got all the serials done; all but 5 are matched to their code letters -not to shabby!

the 3 French CVs are already in the downloads section; sometimes hidden in aircraft uploads. you'll have to check the French birds

just edit the targets ini, swapping out ENEMY for FRIENDLY in Iraq, all Iranian NEUTRAL, and the rest Friendly, which still leaves plenty of FREINDLY airfields in Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain and Qatar. About 20 minutes work I'd recommend new planning maps, as the originals (never updated from the first IR terrain) still show Iran as FRIENDLY, but Iraq a s ENEMY. For some reason, in-game NEUTRAL nations show as RED (enemy)

Wanted: Expert level skinner, intimately familiar with Natural Metal finishes. Person is needed to assist in skinning one of the most important WW2 Allied aircraft. Template will be provided. Standard NDA is "don't tell nobody" (as if we all don't know this aircraft is coming!) This job is being offered (ok, requested), as the main skin/ini dancer sucks at NM skins. screenie below is WIP shot; not all decals are finished, nor is model fully ready. If interested, and meet the requirements, contact me in this thread, or via PM The WW2 Players, and I, Thank You

replacing the tga's won't do it ... spent an hour screwing around with that yesterday to try and fix Stratos' issue. like I said, a REAL fix requires the MAX files ... which I don't know if even Otto has

I tried following the 'metal working' tutorial in the KB, and came out terrible!! Camo is easy compared to NM!!

<cough> Iran/Iraq 2003 <cough>

it sure does affect it! you can also extract the 7 IcelandNA airfield inis, drop them in the IcelandNA terrain folder (make one of you don't have one), and increase the parking chance percentage to like 90. it's only set at 60 right now

you all knew SOMEBODY was gonna do this...!!

File Name: SF2 WW2 PTO B-17F Flying Fortress Pak File Submitter: Wrench File Submitted: 15 June 2013 File Category: B-17 SF2 WW2 PTO B-17F Flying Fortress Pak -- Something for the WW2 PTO players -- = For SF2 ONLY, Full-5 Merged (Reccomended/Preferred) = **Note: Having any SF2 series game is HIGHLY reccomended, as this mod references the stock destroyed An-12. Also, due to modifications to various inis, this mod will probably -NOT- work in 06 level 1stGen game installs. 08 Level 1stGens may have some issues, but this has not/cannot be tested by me.** This is a "Theatre Specific" release of Veltro2K's B-17F Flying Fortress Heavy Bomber. This package =ONLY= represents Forts used in the PTO/SoWesPac region. To eliminate any confusion with any other B-17Fs you may (or may not) have, your in-game displayed name will read "B-17F Flying Fortress (V2K)" There is 1 skins/decal set in this pack: AAF42/43 - OD/G representing aircraft when first they first arrived in Theatre (star/ball insignia). This scheme, and insignia, was used throughout the (rather short) service life of the Fortress in the SoWesPac region. Research has NOT turned up any evidence they ever recieved the "star-and-bar" insigina before being phased out of the PTO. The Skin is in jpg format. All new (theatre specific) serial number decals were created. The serials ARE historically accurate (100%), for those aircraft assigned to the SWP from the first 300 F models deployed worldwide. One may consider the serials as 'generic' in nature, as they represent none of the Bomb Groups/Squadron of the region, but =ARE= correct for the model depicted, and theatre deployed to. All markings are decals. All lighting is historically correct. Damage textures are in DDS format. There are =NO= nose arts. Those with the desire (and talent) are encouraged to do the necessary legwork on research, running down the correct match between nose art and serial number. It should be noted, do =NOT= use this mod in an MTO or ETO-centric mods folder; the Pacific Fortress' (Fortressi?) is slightly different! Engine sounds, pilot figures, BRAND new "Box Art" style Hangar screen (in SF2 jpg format) are included. Operational service dates are rounded to 'whole months', and ARE relatively correct for PTO usage ("Eaker wants them for Europe") As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. PLEASE read them!!! PLEASE read the "Notes" section for other important notations. Happy Landings!! wrench Kevin Stein PS: when flying at night, watch out for glowing green orbs!!

those would be G models, and that camo is a NIGHTMARE!! (and only 3 of them!) G is still in the works I sure don't want to try this one! but I'll give the template to anyone that does!

exactly! back to an unmodified stock one, in the /FlightData.cat. the only thing I'd changed on mine, was the (no longer working) "expanding the world border trick", moving The Wall back 45km still has the problem, but ODDLY, only on SOME aircraft -- Ravens P40 does it, while the ancient F4F Wildcat doesn't seem to (or as noticeably)

thanks man! I'll PM the aircraft WIP to you sometime over the next day or so. Put in a request with Veltro for some LODs fixes (mapping won't change, which is good!)

go for it brother!!!

edit: my mistake, the prop fix is for the -1 series only. wilches fix will work for the -4/7 series. however, to really fix it, the LOD needs MAX editing and reexportation with a new tga statement.

you don't recall all the problems when the TMF corsairs came out???? That Russ generated a new tga for it? and that its been available in the downloads section for like 6+ months ??? look under WW2 Aircraft Skins/ US Origin/ F4U. it should be there. I distinctly remember moving it during the rearrangement of the SF2 downloads this week as to your weapons, have you checked the individual weapon folders, that the LOD is residing therein?? as to the glass, extract the STOCK canopy glass tga from whichever ObjectDAta cat it resides in (prolly 001.cat), drop it into the main folder, and ALL skin folders, backup the original, and rename the NEW one to match.

good one man!!

I think veltro is/was reworking the Jav pasko's 106 needs a completely NEW FM check the IndoPak aircraft -- I seem to recall doing SOMETHNG! with the Gnat/Ajeet (other than commenting OUT the airbrakes mesh/nodes to bring the landing gear back to visibility)

actually, irfanview does ico as well
