GOT FOR IT, HF!!!! in the readme I always ask that folks imporve them!!

iirc, the lod uses a self illuminating tga (physically built in) you may have to do like dtmd said, and remove/hide those nodes

capun just posted a "how to.." in their WWi Forums

aren't they alrady in the Tools/Utilities section of the downloads??? I know I did them!!! And I"m sure I uploaded them!! edit: looks like I never did!! the templage is only for the _3 and _6 skin maps, as the rest is the same as the A-6E (which should be up there too...I'll have to go back and look again) I'll get the 2 psds up later today

maybe we should call it a "June"???? sorry, couldn't resist!!

done in the terrain _Types.ini there are statements for destroyed models, destroyed effect and percentages of said effect. I always raise mine to 100% unfortunately, a great deal of the terrain objects DON't have a destroyed model called out, low percentages and/or wrong destroyed effect (example below is a fuel tank taht does) [TargetType009] Name=fueltank1 FullName=Fuel Tank ModelName=fueltank1.lod TargetType=FUEL_STORAGE ActiveYear=0 TargetValue=200 UseGroundObject=FALSE DamagePoint=0.010 ArmorValue=0.0 ArmorType=0 RepairRate=0.555 StartDetectChance=0 StartIdentifiedChance=0 IncreaseDetectChanceKey=0 MaxVisibleDist=8000.0 DamagedModel= DestroyedEffect=LargeBombEffect DestroyedModel=fueltank1_destroyed.lod SecondaryChance=100 SecondaryEffect=MediumOilFireEffect so, one would need to go line by line through all the types inis (and I do this ALL the frakking time!!), and make the corrections

and at some point, just plane jane SF2, as the desert terrain (mainly it's cataloge file, aka "cat") is needed for a buttload of the add on terrains

unfortunately, it hasn't got folding wings yet, but we (Russ and I) wanted to get "something" into everyone's hands. Wingfold will come in a later version

File Name: SF2 WW2 PBY-5A Catalina by Veltro2K File Submitter: Wrench File Submitted: 28 May 2013 File Category: USN/USMC Other SF2 WW2 PBY-5A Catalina by Veltro2K = For SF2, (Full 5 RECCOMENDED!!!) = **NOTE: due to the EXTENSIVE modifications performed on the various inis, this mod will !!Absolutely!! =NOT= work in SF/Wo* game at any patch level. A FUll 5 Merged install is required, due to the use of SF2NA statements in the data ini, pertaining to Naval Search and Naval Strike.** This is a Re-release of the Veltro2k's WW2 PBY-5A Catalina flying boat patrol bomber aircraft. While the Game Engine ™ dosent support amphidexterious operations off water, the wing floats extend/retract with the H (arrestor hook) key. This pack contains just the single skin, USN42. This is a rather 'generic' skin, and represents USN VP squadrons from approximately May 1942, when the red ball and rudder stripes were removed. This also -more or less- coincides with the the arrival in greater strentgh in squadron service, of the -5A amphibibian version (which this is), replacing the -4 and -5 seaplane only variant. Other skins ARE needed; the template for this aircraft should be available still in the SF/Wo* 1stGen downloads section. If not, I'll upload my copy. (we could use RNFAA, RNZAF, USN 3-tone and overall Black for the "Black Cats") As always, fairly easy to follow, detailed install instructions are included. PLEASE read them!!! Also, give the "Note" section a read, too The Legal Statement has been changed with regards to this aircraft. For those that still have the original releases, you SHOULD redownload this pak; . There HAVE been MANY changes and additions in several of the inis, in respect to SF2NA. **These aircraft herein are released in "AS IS" Condition. Any and all issues/problems that cannot be solved via ini edits will exist forever, as new models are unlikely to be created**. Happy Landings! wrench kevin stein Click here to download this file

Edit: replace "RNFAA" with "RAF Coastal Command"

1) first and foremost, you cannot have a full 5 merged install withOUT SF2NA. it's the #5 game 2) what OS? it's possible, if not on win7, that these "late model" lods can't generate the full aircrft (doubtfull though) 3) i'd say running out of texture memory, but if all others work, that's out i notice shadows are not turned on in you're screenies. the other, how many decals are on those meshes? it's possible the 4 max has been exceeded; causing the mesh to vanish

won't make a difference; the tops in-game are "homing missiles" for procedures, that's covered in the readme for the Bristol Beaufort mod I uploaded a few weeks ago...

don't forget, though, in game, it's a 'sea skimming missle' at 0 altitude (it never really enters the water). The real life stuff just can't be modled in this series. as for "looking right", man, I'm ALL for that!!

removed during the purge

yah, I know there's buttloads of MAJOR differences...but you all know how I hate wasting good decals! even though it's really the 3W F8, would you all "accept" it as a stand in for the F3? Something to conted with them German jets (like what we have, and the sometime-in-the-near-future veltro's 262) Because, honestly, that one that's "available" now is ... not to put too fine a point on it...unfixable (without a completly new lod)

i should say so... looks MUCH better than the original. (VT-8, Midway)

File Name: SF2 WW2 ETO Spitfire 9c, 341 Squadron Skin Pak File Submitter: Wrench File Submitted: 27 May 2013 File Category: Spitfire SF2 WW2 ETO Spitfire 9c, 341 Squadron Skin Pak -- Something for the WW2 ETO players -- = For SF2 ONLY, Full-5 Merged + Expansion Pak 2 (Reccomended/Preferred) = **SF2:E Expansion Pak 2 =REQUIRED= to have the Spitfire 9c** A reskinning of the stock 3W Spit 9c to 341 Squadron, FFAF (aka: GC III/4 Alsace) during WW2 in Western Europe. Skins remain in their 'lorez' 512 size, and are still in bmp format. Decal randomization is set to TRUE. All marking on the aircraft are decals. This will make it exceptionally easy for skinners to create other RAF squadrons of this time period. For those with historical tendencies, this is the squadron that Pierre Clostermann served with. As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them. Also, give the "Notes" section a read too.

File Name: SF2 WW2 DH TigerMoth by RussoUK File Submitter: Wrench File Submitted: 26 May 2013 File Category: Other SF2 WW2 DH TigerMoth by RussoUK -- Something for Anyone -- = For SF2 ONLY, Full-5 Merged (Reccomended/Preferred) = A new version of the DH Tigermoth, as seen in WW2 and the immeadiate post-war time frames. This version now has (at no extra charge!!) bump mapping! There are 2 lods included; the one set for use now has more subtle bumpping; the other a bit LESS subtle. 2 skins are inlucded, slightly revamped (read: partly repainted), and now with individual Plane-in-group numbers/letters and serial number decals for: "Camo": standard RAF day trainer scheme (I guess!); darkearth/green/yellow unders "Silver": post-war, silver doped, from University of London Air School (iirc) Most of the markings are painted on, with the exception of the Silver skin. All decals positions have been plotted, which will make it easier for End Users that wish to, to create other countries markings. A new Userlist.ini is included (for the most popular users, not all are listed). An SF2 version of my original 'box art' hangar is included, in jpg format. The partial template is also included. It's in the main aircraft folder for other skinners to 'have at it'. This will give your fledgling flyers something to practice in. And it's a nice change to just buzz around the countryside with, every once and a while. **Note: this version is designed to REPLACE any/all previous versions!!** As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them. Also, give the "Notes" section a read too. Happy Landings!! wrench kevin stein with many thanks to Russ!! Edit: new version uploaded. The "Lewis Gun" now has the textures that were missing before Click here to download this file

your's have GOT to be better than mine (I just redrew a few lines..)

looks like you used volker's template, too!! with many thanks to Zur (the Great and Powerful)!!! cant wait!

yup, T-6s (aka "The Hollywood Zero") we get them all the time where I am; they sometimes from fly Santa Monica Airport (1/2 mile west of me!). you can always tell by that sound -- that radial is very distinctive. I LOVE it!!

heheh heehe... he said 'head'...hehe hehe (sorry, couldn't resist!!)
