Parked Aircraft question
Wrench replied to RogerSmith's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
most of the aircraft causeing the stuttttttttttttter only have the one, single lod. those lods are somewhat un-optimized and prolly contain excess poly. one way to limt parking is to NOT use "Unlimited" in the GroundObjects in the options ini. another would be to edit the airfield ini, and reduce the ParkingChance= percentage ParkingChance=85 ParkingMaxSpan=18.0 Parking[01].Heading=180 Parking[01].Offset=333,-122 LargeParkingChance=75 LargeParkingMaxSpan=48.0 LargeParking[01].Heading=217 LargeParking[01].Offset=353,368 of course, you'll have to extract ALL 6 airfield ini from ALL terrains, edit them, and make sure they reside in ALL their proper terrain folders or, remove the aircraft in question from the mods folder (a bit drastic, to be sure, but it elimiates the problem completely) -

Droped flaps on parked aircraft...
Wrench replied to amariani's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
no, it don't. neither do TK's mustang's have the inner gear doors open when parked (long afer hydralic pressure would have bled off). don't see folks commenting on that one, either it's truely, not that important. -

Adding more SAMs to a Desert campaign

0000000x00000 is the bottom left of every map remember, don't confuse this: [TargetArea001] Name=Port Moresby Position=567043,202059 Radius=3000 ActiveYear=0 Location=1 with this: Target[001].Type=amRadioTower Target[001].Offset=0.0 Target[001].Heading=0 there's a tutorial written by a Terrain Guru, most likely in the 1stGen Knowledge Base, on "How To Target" -

you should see the 'modded' one I did for SF2 -- changed it to use the NA cruise missle parameters. but the frakking bombers launch from 5000 feet; which is hella funny for a torp, even given I shorted to range to 2 miles but they DO work!! -

we can sure use it!! I'd post in the Mods/Skinning forum. I don't know how many "takers" we'd get, but it's definatly worth putting the word out. -
Adding more SAMs to a Desert campaign
Wrench replied to arthur666's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mission & Campaign Building Discussion
Do you have the various SAMs GroundObjects in the /GO folder? Do you have the required missiles for said launchers in the /weapons folder? The game is very picky/finicky about populating things. Another important fact, is the Engine will NOT populate areas 50km or more from the player's aircraft. The mission builder even more wonky there are no AD batteries in Iceland, per se, in the Real World . If there were, they've long since been removed (reference: SAMs.kmz) there would/could be smaller units deployed to defend airbases (possible a 3-launcher HAWK battery, plus Chapparell relpacing AAA guns for NATO, plus buttloads of MANPADS all over the place. It's doubtfull, but possible, the Red side COULD move batteries of modile SAMs -like SA-6s- but who knows) -
SF2 WW2 Spitfire Mk.1A by Mod Mafia/TMF
Wrench replied to Wrench's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - File Announcements
which is exactly WHY decals are used!! One squadron code letter set, "pool" of individual letter. much easier!!! nice skins Nigel!! as can be seen, the LOD dates from 2006, and i don't have the MAX file for either of the Spits (Mk.1 and Mk.VIII); although I do have the MAX for the uncompleted Mk.IX (but as theres a stock 3W one, and we have your skins for it....) -

no real need, they only came 2 ways - NS Blue/Grey and 3 tone before retirement (read: war weary). You've got them; and the decal positions are all plotted. These are Birdcages, not -1As (3 tone or solid gloss blue) or -1Ds (solid). 3 tones would get either the red outline starbar (for 4-6 months) and the the blue outlines starbar for the rest of the war. There's still 4 models to come ------- requried screenie... Alder Tag (with apologies to Russo for splattering his 109E) -

SF2 WW2 Spitfire Mk.1A by Mod Mafia/TMF = For SF2, Full-4/5 Merged (Reccomended/Preferred) = *Note: There is a distinct possibility that 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. End Users that attempt to do so, do so at their own risk.* A brand "new" model that was never completed when Bpao passed away a few year back. I've been fortunate enough to be allowed to complete his work, as a member of the Mod Mafia. This is the Vickers/Supermarine Spitfire Mk.1A. This pak contains skins/decal sets for the following RAF Squadrons: No. 41 No. 54 No. 92 No. 610 in their 'Battle of Britain' livery. National markings are painted on, and all the aircraft use a 'pool' of indvidual call letters (A,B,C, etc) and serial numbers (all historiclly Mk.1s). Each has the Squadron letters (DW, EB, QJ, etc) also as decals. This will make it easier for other squadrons to be created by simply making new 2-digit Squadron letters. There is a blank bmp called "DW" in the 41 Squadron decals folder that can be resued for this. Those that know how, can duplicate my work quite easily. All skins are in jpg format, Decal Randomization is TRUE. A new SF2 version of the original 'box art' hangar and loading screens are included. Damage textures are dds format. A 'destroyed.lod' is included, taken from the WW2 terrains (its used for destroyed statics). Those with SF2I Expansion Pak1 can easliy switch to the 3W destroyed Spit lod. The canopy/entry door open with the Standard Animation Keystroke , Shift/0. For those RAF Squadron listed in the game's SquadronList.ini, my 'fake sqtail' decal will activate their "Displayed Name" on the LoadoutScreen. When 'in game', you'll see "Spitfire Mk.1A (TMF)" on the aircraft drop-down selection window. This will differentiate it from any other Mk.1s you may have. The Official Squadron Crest is used for the 'paint chip' for each skin. 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! wrench kevin stein For Oli; you are sorely missed! -

SF2 WW2 F4U-1 Corsair (Birdcage) by Mod Mafia/TMF = For SF2, Full-4/5 Merged (Reccomended/Preferred) = *Note: There is a distinct possibility that 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. End Users that attempt to do so, do so at their own risk. A Full 4/5 Merged install is reccomened; at very minimum, SF2:V is required, as this aricraft references the A-1H's destroyed model* *Note #2: this model will REPLACE, in it's entirety, the stand-in I built using Wolf's as a base. You may (well, should!) delete that mod completly* A brand "new" model that was never completed when Bpao passed away a few year back. I've been fortunate enough to be allowed to complete his work, as a member of the Mod Mafia. This is the eagerly awaited (and wanted!) F4U-1 "Birdcage" Corsair as issued to USMC, and later to USN squadrons. Skin/Decals set included are for: VMF-124 "Wild Aces", the 1st American unit to take the Corsair into combat in the Solomons. It is finished in the "Non-Specular Blue over NS-grey" VF-17 "Jolly Rogers", finished in the 3-tone blue camo All skins are in jpg format, Decal Randomization is TRUE. All get new SF2 versions of the original 'box art' hangar screens. Damage textures are the old tga versions. The 124 skin uses painted on National Markings, the "Jolly Rogers" use decals. Either skin version can easily be used to create other operational squadrons of the time period. A userlist is included with proper dates for BOTH USMC and USN operations. when 'in game', you'll see "F4U-1 Corsair "Birdcage" (TMF)" in the aircraft drop-down selection window. While the aircraft IS carrier capable, historically, the Birdcages saw very limited use aboard ship. 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) are NOT included. You should have them already. As always, fairly easy to follow, highly 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! wrench kevin stein For Oli; you are sorely missed! -

Help me in adding weapons to SF2 series
Wrench replied to morteza1374's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
there should be an informative tutorial in our handy-dandy (and ever ignored) Knowledge Base. http://combatace.com/topic/44031-guide-to-converting-old-weapons-from-the-strike-fighters-1-series-to-the-new-plug-and-play-weapons-for-the-strike-fighters-2-series-by-migbuster/ short, weapons editor is NO longer needed; weapons are individually folderized with their main ini, data ini, lod, and textures within each seperate folder. best way, download the Gunny Pak, and pick/choose those you want, and drag/drop those folder into you /Weapons folder (create if necessary)
