3d object request...
Wrench posted a topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
for the terrain in progerss, I have need of a VERY special object. I won't describe it on the open Forums, as it's to be an Easter Egg. If any of our 3d guys is interested, please PM me and I'll give you the description of what I'd like (VBG) -

Falkland Islands terrain updated
Wrench replied to Ice Man's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
the height field on that terrain is "diffucult at best" to work with, and nearly impossible at worst. drove me bats**t crazy trying to flatten a couple airfields, that just plane wouldn't flatten. (that explains why you see aircraft sinking into the ground) to add the other port, most likely new tiles would be needed. if built with terrain objects, the usual routine is used. adding the 'ground structrues' for the radar sites is a simple text edit, with a "ActiveYear=" tag added. i sure don't have time for it ... -
Sa-4 and Sa-1
Wrench replied to whiteknight06604's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
cool! now, we only need the radar vehicle/buildings ground objects! (after all, they gotta have something to tell them 'where to go and what to hit!) if anyone is interested, there's a Henhouse OTH radar in the DBS update -

Sa-4 and Sa-1
Wrench replied to whiteknight06604's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
iirc, in real life © the SA-1 was only deplyoed around Moscow, and for a very short time, being rapidly replaced by 2, 3, 5, and etc niether has ever been built for the SF series to my knowledge -

SFP2 f-14 on SFP1
Wrench replied to destriero55's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
you canNOT use SF2 models in SF1. The LODs are unicode, which that engine cannot read. so, you left with the TMF Turkey, or moveing to SF2. no 2 ways about it -
Screenshots needed.

Veltro2k WWII WIPS

i llike it; however, I think the nose greenhouse is too flat; that's more like the C-87 version -
Cockpit view angle?
Wrench replied to hrc's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
forgot to mentinon, after extraction, the _cockpit.ini goes INTO that's aircraft's folder. Otherwise the changes won't be read by the game engine -
Cockpit view angle?
Wrench replied to hrc's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
***_cockpit ini you'll have to know WHICH aircraft, and then go the the ObjectData***.cats to find the various files you'll need the latest 3W extractor (arpil 2012), available in the SF2 Downloads, Tools/Utilities http://combatace.com/files/file/13040-3rd-wire-toolkits-april-2012/ or at 3rd Wire it's very easy to use -
,.I Found PINK FLOYD's WALL on Edwards Philippines1941 Terrain
Wrench replied to usafphantom2's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - World War II Forum
what it's gonna take to fix it, is going to break any campaign built for it, as we're going to be removing all target areas ABOVE Lingayan Gulf, and switching sides for the 2 northernmost airstrips so.... open the Philippines1941_targets.ini, and for the following target areas Aparri Gonzaga Vigan Vigan Airstrip Tuguegarao Tuguegarao Airstrip change the Alignment=ENEMY to Alignment=NEUTRAL this will effectively remove them from play Now, to give your IJAAF/IJN land base fighters/bombers somewhere to roost, for the following target areas: Balaoan Airstrip Jones (city) Jones Aistrip change their alingnment to ENEMY. Changing Jones city will prevent 'red-on-red' incidents. I realize this put enemy A/C very close to Clark and the other bases near Manila, but this can't be helped. Experimentaly, you can add this at the bottom of the targets ini... [TargetArea116] Name=Tainan Air Base Position=146189,996923 ActiveDate=0 Location=21 Alignment=ENEMY OffMapAirBase=TRUE and for the pre-existing Formosan bases... [TargetArea059] Name=Taichung Field ;Formosa Position=340000.000000,-200000.000000 Radius=4242.640625 ActiveYear=0 LOCATION=21 Alignment=ENEMY OffMapAirBase=TRUE [TargetArea060] Name=Pingtung Field ;Formosa Position=300000.000000,1200000.000000 Radius=4242.640625 ActiveYear=0 LOCATION=21 Alignment=ENEMY OffMapAirBase=TRUE of, couse, this may only work when the WW2 game is built from the SF2NA.exe. Worth a try, at least the major flaw is the map is simply too small, and there's no way I know to expand it along the x/y axis the required 200km. Put simply, a complete NEW terrain is requred.
