Can't get back 'on the boat'...
Wrench replied to Wrench's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
yes, but all the stock 3W Navy birds -US/FAA have the landing speed entry. So, I'm assuming (oh!! that word!!) it's required hmm...flaps... since it's Fubar F86F flight model.... -

Another question about old terrains...
Wrench replied to SupGen's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - World War II Forum
sounds like a user install error ( ) cat pointer incorrect maybe??? As expected, mine all work perfectly. Rule of Thumbe: if missing terrain objects (buildings, runways, etc), you cat pointer is wrong there HAVE been some extreme oddities of late (since march/may/june/july 12 patchs) of aircraft starting at the wall. even I get that once in a while. that's because it is -

File Name: SF2 Soviet Transport and AWAC Aircraft by Veltro2K File Submitter: Wrench File Submitted: 04 May 2013 File Category: Other SF2 Soviet Transport and AWAC Aircraft by Veltro2K = For SF2, Full 5 Merged RECCOMENDED! = This is a Re-release of the Veltro2k's Soviet/WarPac Transport and AWAC aircraft. It is REQUIRED that you have SF2NA in your merged install, as several of these reference the stock 3W Tu-95 Bear destroyed model. Some reference the stock 3W An-12 destroyed model. Hence, the need for a Full 5 Merged install. It is usable without, but you won't have the dead wreckage on the ground. Also, the AWAC versions use the "AEW" avionics coding from SF2NA. Included in the pak are remods of: An-22 Cock A-50 Mainstay AWAC IL-76 Candid Tu-114 Cleat (Aeroflot airliner) Tu-126 Moss AWAC Aircraft that were exported have userlist inis included (ie: the Il-76). Any that I missed, End Users are encouraged to 'fill in the blanks', and post those changes. All avionics, in particular for the AWACs, have been brought up SF2NA standards at the July 2012 patch level. New sounds for the prop engines are included. Although cockpits ARE included for all aircraft, really people...let the AI handle them. They exist for 2 reasons: eye candy and targets. Skins remain in their bmp format, and decal radomization is set to TRUE. All decals reference stock markings, including the Bort numbers. New damage textures are supplied, in DDS format. As always, fairly easy to follow, detailed install instructions are included. PLEASE read them!!! Also, give the "Note" section a read, in particular on operational usage. The Legal Statement has been changed with regards to these aircraft. For those that still have the original releases, as there HAVE been changes and additions in several of the inis, you may wish to examine them, mostly in respect to SF2NA, you may wish to replace the originals with these. **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

Central America Terrain for SF2 - For SF2, Any & All (Full-4/5 Merged Reccomended*) This terrain covers the area from Belize, down to Columbia, centered on the Panama Canal. Some regions are a bit truncated (eastern El Salvador), and some areas are not targeted. This terrain does =NOT= have the SF2NA "NavalMap" statement activated in any inis. It is designed =ONLY= for ground-based air forces. It is highly suggested it remain as such. However, the _water.bmp does have 2 "Blue Side" coded carrier stations, one in the Pacific and one in the Caribean. Again, its not reccomended for CV usage; as once the "NavalMap=TRUE" is activated, all USMC carrier-capable aircraft will now ONLY fly from The Boat. The LimitedNations statement is set to TRUE, allowing only for 'regional powers' (with a few exceptions). Many of the included GroundObjects you may already have -- install them anyway. A majority of them have had the "issuing" user nations corrected, and the appropriate UserList created. The included Ships have also been updated as per SF2NA. Geophysical Disclaimer: some rivers and other water features may not follow their Real Life courses, or be placed in their Real Life locations. Several cities and other physical features may also fall into that classification. However, 2 Easter Eggs are emplaced on the map. You should be able to guess where, and what they are. As always, unzip this to a temp folder or your desktop, and you'll have access to the rest of the readme for it's instructions. It's reccomended you read the document through after unzipping, but before installing. As always, the Notes and Other Nonesense section may make for entertaining reading. Please also read the New Standard discalimer, as it's been changed slightly. Happy Sightseeing! wrench kevin stein *Full-5 reccomended if one activates the Carrier Zones - NOT reccomended* -

Another question about old terrains...
Wrench replied to SupGen's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - World War II Forum
wouldn't that cause more probems?? all them craters to fill in.... actually, I have to finish the NEW FJ-3M Fury (thank you Russo!!), get back to decaling -and bugging Veltro for LOD fixes- for the B-17F, annoy Coupi on how the Me-262 is doing, Cocas for the new Spit mk V (and WILL need help in painting it... I suck at camo pattern matching!!) and... and... and... and... personally, I have no interest in the Winter War scenario. But I will give advice to those that wish to make the needed fixes as to dragons ... don't tempt me....(easy to add that text to the planning maps!! ) -

WW2 Europe Terrain for SF2 (aka: EAW Euro)
Wrench replied to Wrench's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - File Announcements
I was just looking at that yesturday ... I know EXACTLY where they'd go. But, due to the screwy height field, and no Upkeep bomb (and the fact you can't 'skip' a bomb -on land or water-) chose not to add them. And dams are somewhat difficult to place (read: KAW terrain) sounds like somebody else got this month's edition of "Aviation History" magazine... -

and Front Lines can't be moved via editing of the Movement.ini??? targetin, with regards to Sweden, is easy ... edit targets ini so all "stuff" in sweden is NEUTRAL. airfields are always an issue ... as NO real WW2 style bases exist. AND you still need to flatten the airfield zone, even in NOT using any of the runway**.lods -

SF2 WW2 ETO Bf-109E-7 Jabo by RussoUK -- Something for the WW2 ETO players -- = For SF2, Full-5 Merged (Reccomended/Preferred) = *This mod may =NOT= work in SF/Wo* 1stGen game installs at any patch level, due to the excessive modifications made to fit them into the SF2 environment. Those that wish to try, do so at their own risk.* This is a complete aircraft with (just) about all the fixings... This mod represents Bf-109E-7s in the West (France based) during the 1940-41 time frame. The skin/decals are "representative" of 6(S)LG2 Jabo. The skin is in jpg format, and decal randomization is TRUE. Unlike most Luftwaffe JGs, the ground attack units (Schlachtgruppen) used letters instead of numbers. You have 18 letters. Included are Sounds, weapons, in this case the AB-50 Frag/Cluster unit (minus standard LW bombs -which you should already have, along with the Guns), the ETC50 4-bomb MER, the drop tank and pilot figure, as well as new SF2 style hangar and loading screens (in jpg format) The canopy operates on the standard animation keystroke Shift/0. As always, fairly easy to follow, highly detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them. Also, give the "Notes" section a read too. Full credits are listed below the Notes. Happy Hunting! wrench kevin stein -
