Happy Thanksgiving to all!!!

have you looked in the SF2 downloads section??? I seem to recall doing the Razorback...and the bubbletop with 'semi' compliant SF2 FMs. Pasko's Liberators need total overhauls, from the skins up. As we've always said, "leave the Heavies to the AI" edit: well, here the razorback and lightning PTO pack: http://combatace.com...tning-sowespac/ bubbletop - includes postwar, and Brazilian MTO http://combatace.com/files/file/12375-pf-47d-25-thunderbolt-by-wolf257-for-sf2/ (may need some FM adjustments) fm tweeks for the bubble top would be a simple copy/paste. if you follow my drift. (and op year edits) another little hint/advice: the stuff in SF/Wo* downloads, well, to not put too fine a point on it ... are worse then useless for SF2, unless we're only talking about skins/decals -and even those need some tweeking!!!

nobody understands laziness more than I do!!! -- here's a little something I was experimentating with (yes, it's over the correct terrain -which is also getting a slight tweek)

also, Pako's ww2pilot is VERY small!!

there was some LOD changes, and using the most current data ini is a MUST (this goes for all Zipper mods that reference the F-104G.lods) sure it was a G in the grey, and not an AMI 104S ASA or ASA-M???

and you TRUST Aces High II??

seriously!!! I"m using his template for my work, and man do it make things easier!!

the "Initilazation Screen", the black and white shot of the Phantom, when the game itself first loads didn't Charles, over at Capun's site post something that he'd gotten it changed?

forgot the mention, the SF2 versions are in Unicode, so if using in the 1stGen terrain (FE, SF1Wo*), open each one and 'save as...", and use the drop down to select ANSI

not everyone has access to their d/ls. Also, due to the EUA, no sharing of any kind is allowed so ... there you go. until out naval architects run them down the ways (WBS is attemting to build the standard WW2/Korea Essex), we use what we have that is FREELY availalbe, with no strings attached. Also, the very reason taht the modified 3W SCB-125 data inis were included. They may look 'off', but work with no issues

OH Good!! Save's me the trouble! For Cocas' Gladiator, I hope. I're reworking both it and the Sea Gladiator (nearly finsihed with the SeaGlad; want to do at least one more RAF skin for the Gladiator)

right on the first page...(for decals at least) http://combatace.com...ickie-tutorial/ as to the pit, it's a simple text edit of the main ini; the A-4E is STOCK in all versions of SF2 CockpitDataFile=A-4E_Cockpit.ini however, your pilot position WILL be way off. So, you'll need to EXTRACT the A4E's cockpit ini, drop it into (whichever) Banshee's folder, and make the adjustments fore/aft/up/down to match the pilot position in the data ini. Which Banshee? Razbams or DAT??? Both have several issues in SF2

ok, since we have working RN carriers (except Eagle -she's acting up on me!), I went and fiddled with the WW2 Tunisia/Western Med map, and added a CV station. And it works a charm! Now, the question is, should I add another, further east (as seen in Pink on the screenie below) The green on would work well for Pedestal (albit maybe a bit west?) and the pink one for, say Op Judgement (Taranto) since i've not found too many references of RN CV ops further east of Malta...???? thoughts, ideas?Comments?? Questions?? (btw, "new" Martles and Sea Hurri coming in the not too distant future -the SeaHurri shot is the terrain test I just ran, with the new 880 skin. Raven's Hurri's are BEAUTS!!!)

I swear I thought I"d added them... well, it's an easy fix...the "HMS_Nelson" I have has been converted to SF2NA standards...

daniel, do you have the Modlers Datafile on the Merlin Spit??? has some EXCELLENT drawings (like from the maintence manuals) I mean, REALLLY detailed stuff. if you want it, i'll pm it to you Seafires, for the most part, had the Volkes. Their wingfold is, well, uniquie!!

what I posted above IS the ini for the F-104S pylon set. look in your /Weapons folder for F-104S as to the pit1 ... [LOD001] Filename=pit1.lod Distance=6000 [shadow] CastShadow=FALSE ShadowCastDist=500 MaxVisibleDistance=2000 copy/paste the text above into a blank notepad sheet, and "Save As..." pit1.ini

the green looks about right to me.. but check you numbers ... the 'modex' for all them were based upon the squadron, and were 3 digit (100, 200, 300 series)

as much as we would lilke to, that violates the DAT EUA paitence, brother, and keep trying to get in there to get it

NELSON/RODNEY are in the PTO ships pak it's working after a fashon...I"m still getting CVBGs where they arent' 'color coded' for them, but nothing on land yet!!

it's not the fuel tanks, but the pit1.lod that has the issue (open/unmatched meshes). It was reported to TK 2+years ago by yours truely. easy fix...if you have any of my recent terrain mods, look for "pit1.ini" in the terrain folder. Copy/paste that into EVERY terrain folder you have. that'll fix the problem (it's been edited to turn shadows "OFF") edit: did't see the Superzipper .. look for the F104S pylon set, and see if the ini has shadows turned on. if so, turm them off!! [WeaponData] ObjectFullName=F-104S Pylons ObjectDataFile=F-104S_data.INI [LOD001] Filename=F-104S_1.LOD Distance=1200 [shadow] CastShadow=TRUE <---- set to false ShadowCastDist=2000 MaxVisibleDistance=100

File Name: SF2 WW2 F4U-1C Corsair by Mod Mafia/TMF File Submitter: Wrench File Submitted: 19 November 2012 File Category: F4U SF2 WW2 F4U-1C Corsair by Mod Mafia/TMF = For SF2, Full-4/5 Merged (Reccomended/Preferred) = *Note: There is a distinct probability that this mod will =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. End Users ™ that attempt to do so, do so at their own risk. A Full 4/5 Merged install is reccomened at the LATEST patch level; at very minimum, SF2:V is required, as this aricraft references the A-1H's destroyed model. Also, due to some bmp mapping in dds format, there are some things that just make it impossilbe for 1stGen to generate. At all.* *Note #2: this model will REPLACE, in it's entirety, those using Wolf's as a base. You may (well, should!) delete that mod completly; both the aircraft and decals folders. These, again, will replace them.* A brand new model, based on Bpao's F4U-1D, converted to the F4U-1C by RussoUK2004. With Extra Expecial Thanks to Russ for MAX work on the model; he truely made this variant possible! He went 'above and beyond' to fix some issues I was having. This is the F4U-1C Corsair, as seen from early 1945 unitl the end of the War. Skin/Decals set included are for: USN/USMC: VBF-85, aboard USS SHANGRI LA VMF-311, aboard USS BRETON (CVE-23) VMF-331, land based on Okinawa All skins are in jpg format, Decal Randomization is TRUE. New SF2-style hangar screens are included (watch the switch when flying Marine squadrons). Damage textures are the old tga versions. The "prop fix" from the Birdcage and -1A/-1D variants has already been applied to the mod. USN Air Group markings are the "G" system, and are painted on the skins. This system was used from Jan 1945 to July 1945, when Air Group marking began changing the now in-use "Letter" style. My research has shown that many squadron still were using G-symbols on VJ-Day (although, in truth, Shangri La DID start using it's "Z" code in July. Photos prove this!!). Decals are used for most other markings, and Randomization is set to TRUE. A user list is included; operational service dates have been rounded to the closest whole Year (ie: 1944). The aircraft is fully carrier capable. The canopy operates via the Standard Animation Keystorke ™ of Shift/0. Breaking with Modder Tradition, the wingfold operates via the "airbrakes" key. I didn't change to the standard Shift/9, as the last time I did it, I broke it!. So, it is as it was originally set by Bpao. All lighting is historically accurate. WW2 weapons (ie: bombs, rockets) are NOT included. You should have them already. The drop tank is, as is the pilot figure and engine sounds (which you may also have already!). A new 20mm gun, created by Russo, is included as well. (thanks again!) Also, I've preformed a slight "Cheat" on the VMF-311 skin; it's Nation tagged as "USN", because for some reason, nowadays, USMC Air Units are relegated to Land- based Ops only. By doing so, I've allowed the Game Engine ™ to generate them aboard ship. when 'in game', you'll see "F4U-1C Corsair (TMF)" in the aircraft selection drop- down window. This will diferentiate it from any other -1Cs you may (or may not) have. As always, fairly easy to follow, detailed install instructions are included. So, please READ them. Also, give the "Notes" section a read too for futher explinations, clarifactions, illuminations and so forth. Good Hunting! For Oli Click here to download this file

I'll take care if, ASAP sorry fellas!! ------------------------- edit: ok....now I'm confused. the one paulo's was showing is NOT the one I have... this one has some 'incompletness' about it... the deck edge antennas are not attached to the hull, and there's no gun crews (or the quad 40s...) so, looks like a 'whcha got there, bro', is in order to paulo!!

File Name: SF2 WW2 Hawker Sea Hurricane IIC, by Raven File Submitter: Wrench File Submitted: 18 November 2012 File Category: Hurricane SF2 WW2 Hawker Sea Hurricane IIC, by Raven -- Something for the WW2 ETO/MTO players -- = For SF2, Full-5 Merged (Reccomended/Preferred) = *There is a distinct possibility this mod may work in SF/Wo* 1stGen game installs. However, due to some of the modifications made to fit them into the SF2 environment, all the features will NOT be working as designed.* *Full-5 Perfered, as these aircraft make use of the SF2NA Carrier-basing statements* **This pak can be used to Update Raven's original release. It can be found at the following URL: http://combatace.com/files/file/13122-seahurricanmkiiczip/ This is the complete aircraft, just minus the original 835 NAS skin (yes, laziness again. Just as easy to upload the complete aircraft, as an 'update pak') The skin included herein is for: 880 Squadron, aboard HMS INDOMITABLE in the Med (possibly during Operation Pedestal) This skin is still in bmp format. All new decals were created for Codes and serial numbers. Decal randomization is TRUE. As all the markings are decals (excepting the national markings), it would be quite easy for other skinners to recreate other RN squadrons that used this mark Sea Hurri, as the Temperate Sea Scheme was used throughout the North Atlantic and Med. A new SF2 style hangar screen included. All of Raven's weapons for the Hurricane are included, upgraded for SF2 usage. These are ALL the weapons, for all his Hurricanes (as there are several other mods in the works) As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them. Also, give the "Notes" section a read too. Good Hunting! wrench kevin stein Click here to download this file
