SF2 Korean War Era P-51D Mustangs
Wrench posted a topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - File Announcements
File Name: SF2 Korean War Era P-51D Mustangs File Submitter: Wrench File Submitted: 01 October 2012 File Category: P-51 SF2 Korean War Era P-51D Mustangs = For SF2, Full-5 Merged, =WITH= SF2:I Expansion Pak 1 (Required) = Note: you MUST have SF2:I Expansion Pak 1 to make use of this mod, as it references the stock 3rd Wire P-51D. If you do not meet this requirement, DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS MOD, as you will be unable to use it. This mod pak is also designed with a 'stand alone' KAW mods folder, although it can be used in full-merged. This pak contains 4 reskins for the 3W Mustang, for units/squadrons during the Korean War. This pak includes: 12th FBS, 18th FBG, USAF 2 Squadron, SAAF "Flying Cheetahs" 77 Squadron, RAAF 51st PFS (Provisional Fighter Squadron), ROKAF The 12th and 51st skins reference the stock Mustang serial numbers; on the ROKAF Mustang, #18 carries 100% accurate 'nose art' for Col. Dean Hess. 2 & 77 Squadrons have 100% historic serial number decals. Decal randomization is set to TRUE for all skins. All skins are in bmp format, making them usable in all versions of SF2 (although the latest patch level is HIGHLY suggested) Also included is a modified data ini with 100% correct lighting. The canopy opens/closes with the Usual Suspect keystroke, Shift/0. A new main ini (P-51D.ini) is supplied, with the 12th FBS skin moved up to the #1 position. A new Merlin engine sound is included. All weapons used are stock, availble from the SF2I Exp1 upgrade. As always, fairly easy to follow, highly detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them. Also, give the "Notes" section a read too. All screenshots herein were taken over the KAW Korea terrain; coming soon. Happy Hunting! wrench kevin stein Click here to download this file -

Best high res terrain mod for all SF2 locations?
Wrench replied to BradenFTW's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
with SF2NA, you only have the one terrain, so you'l need to expand you "collection" like JRL said, just look for Stary's name -

WoV stock A-4s Clear tail section
Wrench replied to hotrodss's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
too many decals per mesh (most likely) and/or defective tga -although those usually turn the aircraft white -
interetering, but like Revolution, full of holes. I wasn't aware of an 'extended range' Trident, that could reach nearly 18000 miles from teh Indian Ocean to the US east cosat (by flying over Indiania????) however, I'll be watching it to see where it take us...

SF2 AD-2/3 Skyraider, Korean War
Wrench posted a topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - File Announcements
File Name: SF2 AD-2/3 Skyraider, Korean War File Submitter: Wrench File Submitted: 27 September 2012 File Category: A-1 SF2 AD2/3 Skyraider = For Your Korean War Flying Pleasure = = For SF2, Full-4/5 Merged, (Reccomended/Preferred) = *Note: you MUST have SF2:V as part of your merged install. This aircraft references the A-1H lod from SF2V, and will =NOT= work without it.* This is a mod of the 3rdWire A-1H Skyraider, to the earlier AD-2/3 version as used by the USN and USMC during the Korean War. It was thrown together as an experiment some long time ago, and I thought you all would like to have it, "just because". The aircraft is supplied with 2 skins: VA-35, "Black Panthers" US Navy, USS Leyte 1950 * VMA-121 "Wolf Raiders", USMC, Pyongteak, 1950-53 This is a complete aircraft (well, minus the Stock Lod of course!), with a new radar-equipped cockpit by Dels. Skins are still in bmp format, making it usable in all SF2 merged game installs with access to the A-1H.lod. The skins are new from my Home Grown Templates , in the 1950s Dark Gloss Navy Blue; all markings are decals and are Randomized. BuNums are accurate for the aircraft variant depicted, but not for the actual ones used by the squadrons; consider them 'generic' for that purpose. The 'USMC50s' pilot figure, AN/APS-4 radar pod and engine sounds are included. The only weapon included is the 120 gallon drop tank. Bombs and rockets reference those WW2 units from the GunnyPak, and are NOT included (simple edits can make the stock 3W ones usable, if one has Expansion Pak 1). Wingfold is NOT activated, but the canopy is. Use the Usual Suspect (shift/0) to open and close it. All lighting is hisotrically correct. As always, fairly easy to follow, highly detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them. Also, give the "Notes" section a read too. Please. Good Hunting! wrench kevin stein *note: VA-35 may have actually used AD-4s as opposed 2/3... my references were a little vague on the point* Click here to download this file -
French Indochina Campaign?
Wrench replied to PraetorH's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
DBP airfield is on the map; but one would need to rewrite the targets ini and movement ini to change the 'front line'. It's doable; just a lot of work (to say nothing of adding the French base camp) unfortunately, a goodly number of the period-correct aircraft are not readily avaiable (but there is a french skin for Geo's Bearcat) -

Constant or Prolonged Missile flame?
Wrench replied to BradenFTW's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
yes, A-A missiles are rocket boosted to max speed, then coast on inertia to the target. There are no sustainer motors to keep propelling them like cruise missiles. So, the behavior presented IS correct -

SA-341 Gazelle Helicopter by Kesselbrut = For SF2, Any & All = Some revamping for Kesselbrut's fine little light attack/observation helicopter, with some upgrades for SF2. This is the complete aircraft, with all the necessary bits; weapons (some new!), pilots, sounds, etc, ready to unzip and install. A full 'changelog' is in the "Notes" section below. Along with the orignial skin (for the Falklands), 5 new skins have been created, thanks to Sundowner finding the templates! They are: French Army (overall green) Desert (overal tan with Generic nation tag) Desert 2 Tone (green/tan, with Generic nation tag) Green (overall, with Generic nation tag) Euro Camo (with Generic nation tag) All skins are in jpg format. Decal positions have been plotted , so when selecting a service, the appropriate insignia will appear. Those skins with the 'generic' tag will show the correct insignia, and can be used as the base to build specific nations. On the subject of decals, no individual numbers are supplied, nor their positions plotted. But that should be fairly easy, given 'known' positions. As always, fairly easy to follow, highly detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them. Also, give the "Notes" section a read too. The original release readme is also included, for historical purposes Happy Hunting! wrench kevin stein
