File Name: SF2 WW2 B-24D Liberator (Pasko), ETO-MTO Pak File Submitter: Wrench File Submitted: 20 February 2013 File Category: B-24 SF2 WW2 B-24D Liberator, ETO-MTO Pak = For SF2 (Full4/5 Merged RECCOMENDED! ) ** Due to the extensive modifications to the cockpit and data ini, this mod will absolutely -NOT- work in 06 level 1stGen game installs. 08 Level 1stGens may have some issues, but this has not/cannot be tested by me. Also, having a merged install is reccomended, as the destroyed model references the stock 3W An-12** This pak contains Pasko's B-24D Liberator Heavy Bomber, with modifications to 'bring it a little closer" to SF2 spec. However, MUCH more work is needed by FM Gurus. The units represented herein are: 329th BS, 93rd BG, ETO, in OD/Grey as seen in England in the 42-43 time frame 514th BS, 376th BG, MTO, in Desert Pink/Grey. Both aircraft carry the 'round ball w/star', pre Sept 1943. The MTO skin uses the roundel outlined in yellow. All new skins, from a Home Grown Template ™ are in jpg format. New decals were created for serials, plane-in-group letters and others. The serials are 'generic' in nature, as they represent no particular unit, but ARE for the model variant depicted. Decal randomization is set to TRUE. The orignal nose art decals from 2005 remain, but need replacements. Weapons and guns are NOT included; you should have them already. All the 1stGen Hangar and Loading screens were either rebuilt to SF2-spec, or created new for this package. They are in jpg format. Damage textures are new, in DDS format. The inis make use of the 'hide component' or the 'open cockpit' statements to make sure the cockpits are where they're supposed to be. This, unfortunately, prevents their use in SF/Wo* games at the 06 patch level, as stated above. Flight modeling, for the most part, remains as originally issued, with some small tweeking by me. However, it NEEDS a better one!! As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. PLEASE read them!!! PLEASE read the "Notes" section for the change list, and other important notations, in particular for in-game usage. For those that have the 1stGen releases, it's advised you delete, or move to a storage disk or elsewhere, the aircraft and decals folders for them; this pak is desinged to replace them in total. **These aircraft herein are released in "AS IS" Condition. There are SEVERAL issues with the LOD that cannot be resolved. Period. 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

yup just change the cat pointer. (provided you DON'T alrady have the tiles in the terrain folder)

no politics people!! Please!!

you can thank Kesselbrut for that one ... and PRACTICE!!! read teh pdf in the invader pak, it's the 'user manual' for the bombsight

thanks! just wish the lod and FM were better... J will be next

File Name: SF2 Post-WW2 SNCAC NC-900, AdA File Submitter: Wrench File Submitted: 22 February 2013 File Category: FW-190 SF2 Post-WW2 SNCAC NC-900, AdA -- Something for the Post-WW2 AdA -- = For SF2, Full-4/5 Merged ( Full-5 Reccomended/Preferred) = *There is a possibility that this mod may work in SF/Wo* 1stGen game installs. However due to the excessive modifications made to fit into the SF2 environment, not all features will be avaliable.* A reskining/redecaling for Wolf's FW-190A5, recreate the SNCAC NC-900 variant. Approximately 120 of these aircraft were 'reassembled' from bits in service/repair depots/etc and used in the immedate Post-War period by the French Air Force. This is NOT a "What If..." aircraft. Skins are in jpg format, and decal randomization is set to TRUE. There are 26 'serial number' markings for the tail. Use of my (patent pending) 'fake SqTail' Level 1 decal allows the game engine to assign it to 'Normandy Neimen', although in the 1945-48 time frame in carred the GC III/5 designation Like the WW2 Luftwaffe Fw-190s, is share the same (semi) compliant SF2 FM As always, while it works quite well, further fine tuning is required by Experts. Sounds, pilot figures, 'fake pilot' and pylons are are included, as well a new Hangar Screen. Guns use the 'standard' WW2 Luftwaffe cannon and machine guns; the French (AdA series) bombs, drop tank and ETC MER are not. They can be found with the other FWs, and the WW2 French Aircraft paks (for the bombs). As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. PLEASE read them!!! Also, the "Notes" section for other important stuff of interest. *Due to the age of the physical model (LOD), the mod is being released "as is" condition, as stated in the WW2 Luftwaffe FW-190 Paks* Have Fun With It!! wrench kevin stein Click here to download this file

I swapped mine over, even though the tiles are INSIDE my terrain folder. one day, I have to rebuild it as I really screwed mine up!!! you CERTAINLY can use the SF1 VitenamSEA cat in SF2 (or any other 1stGen terrain). The only thing you'll need to do is extract the terrains data ini, place in a new VietnamSEA terrain folder WITHIN the mods folder's /Terrains folder and edit the shader lines to match the SF2 versions. put the VietnamSEA.cat in with the other terrain cats in you 'core files' in the C:\Program Files (x86)\ThirdWire\Strike Fighters 2\Terrains folder if you've got trouble with that, PM me and I'll shoot you my data ini (of course, this assume you don't have SF2:V)

Hans: albeti slight revamps of the original releases, this should hold you until the new is ready: http://combatace.com/files/file/13795-sf2-ww2-raf-bombers-pak/

opps!! Totally forgot about the Doras!!! (or the 152) Mako, the A-26 invader (B & C versions) have alrady been released, the B in KAW and B & C for WW2 by me over the last couple of months. ck the downloads section albeit using Wolf's P-39 (as itself & 400), also in the d/l section. I should chk over Veltros, and see what I can do with it. the question is ... is Jessica Alba considered freeware???

pretty sure it's the same,

cool! I'd call it more of a 'military compound'

"if wishes were horses, beggars would ride"

should reference VietnamSEA.cat, as that's the tile set called for in the data ini, and the Burma.ini cat pointers... [Terrain] TerrainFullName=Burma DataFile=Burma_data.INI TargetFile=Burma_targets.INI TargetTypeFile=Burma_types.INI MovementFile=Burma_movement.INI NationsFile=Burma_nations.INI BriefingText=Burma_briefing.INI DogfightFile=Burma_dogfight.INI DogfightOnly=FALSE //CatFile=..\Desert\Desert.cat //CatFile=..\GermanyCE\GermanyCE.cat CatFile=..\VietnamSEA\VietnamSEA.cat Longitude=96.0 Latitude=16.0 LimitedNations=TRUE GroundObjectTexture=green needs a MAJOR overhaul....just ain't enough days in the year!!!

what we NEED are new, freeware Axis aircraft.... a lot of folks can't get them. sigh....

now, low alt laydowns, that's a slightly different matter.... that only takes some practice (and gunsight of some kind; and i'm totally LOUSEY at it!!! ) the 'norden bombsight' tweek for sf1 requires editing the cockpit ini, and irrc, the viewlist ini and some other stuff. I never got it work!!! (don't mean somebody else might get it works!). I'm lazy ... I'll give you bombers, but wont' fly them! (odd, that one of my Top 5 Favs is the B-17!)

none that i've ever been aware of.

for all intents and purposes, the 'radar bombsight' (as used on B-47, 52, 58, etc) does not exist. Nor prolly will it ever, given the limitations of the avionics dlls. People have been asking for it since 2003! remember- the bombers are AI controlled, and when left alone, seem to do a 'bang up' job in hitting the target (goes for optical WW2-style as well)

when done, it goes into the 'What If.." hangar (we have a WHOLE section just for those kind of things!)

a small tweek for the cockpit (even though I told you NOT to fly it .. but people will anyway) in the cockpit ini, replace the position line with this: Position=0.35,1.0,0.75 it's a bit closer the J will have this correction when released

File Name: SF2 WW2 PTO B-24D 319th BS, 90th BG, SoWesPac Skin/Decals Pak File Submitter: Wrench File Submitted: 21 February 2013 File Category: B-24 SF2 WW2 B-24D 319th BS, 90th BG, SoWesPac Skin/Decals Pak -- Something for the PTO players -- = For SF2, Full-5 Merged (Reccomended/Preferred) = A new skin for the B-24D Liberator by pasko. This skin represents aircraft of the 319BS of the 90th BG "Jolly Rogers" in their early (late 42-mid 43-ish) livery as seen in New Guinea and the Southwest Pacific operations areas. It is designed for use on the recenly release SF2ish B-24D mod, available at the following url: http://combatace.com...or-eto-mto-pak/ The skin is brand new, from my Home Grown Template ™, and is in jpg format. New serial number decals were created; they should be considered 'generic' in nature, as they don't accurately represent the unit, but DO represent the correct model variant depicted. Decal randomization is set to TRUE. There are NO nose arts. As this skin IS Theatre specific to the Pacific regions, you'll have to do some editing after installing to the B-24D in your PTO-centric mods folder, and remove or rename the ETO/MTO skins. As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them. . Good Hunting! wrench kevin stein Click here to download this file

if you DON'T fly them, they work. but like the readme says, "many features will be absent in 1stGens"

might have to clear out some attachments, like KJakker said
