Problems to add weapons
Wrench replied to fufa's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mods/Skinning Discussion
Topic moved to a more appropriate forum first off - PLEASE DO NOT POST QUESTIONS IN THE KNOWLEDGE BASE!!!! it's for answers only. questions go here, in the regular forums this is for several reasons: 1) answers only 2) nobody LOOKS in the KB, so your questions might never be seen. --- as to an answer.... you may have to set the weapons editor to win98 compatibility mode also, instead of putting the weapons editor folder on C/ whatever (even at the root of C:), try putting the whole folder on the desktop, and create a shortcut from there. or run it from the exe right there in the desktop folder Also, you might want to have the game itself at the ROOT of C:. Your path would look like (WoE is an example only): C:\Wings Over Europe as oppposed to C/ProgarmFiles/*name-of-game*. This takes out any security issues that vista/win7 have with things in the 'protected' regions of the HD. (which can also prevent files being modified -weaponsdata.ini fer instance- from being 'saved') -
Cockpit illumination
Wrench replied to pegasus777's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
dosen't it have to be set in MAX as a 'self illuminating tga'???? if you can find one, in a 3rd party aircraft, look for the cockpit OUT file, it usually defines such things (I just looked at the Buc's OUT... -

Wrench replied to Baltika's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mission & Campaign Building Discussion
texturelist ... I'll have to look, as I used it for the I/I maps, but added about 2 dozen 'specially made' tiles. Of course, those tiles are your's for using, if you need 'em. (of course -again-, you'll have to d/l the terrain!!) or, if you want, as it's archived on one my externals, I can send you the whole TE folder, already set up for polaks desert tiles. your choice! edit: there's 160 tiles on the I/I maps ... included lots of roads, rivers, etc. (which means throwing LOTS of bridges across them!) -

Wrench replied to Baltika's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mission & Campaign Building Discussion
all the city tods for those tiles need a TOTAL rebuild! (used them on the iran/iraq, and irag2003 terrains) they don't 'fit' within the city limits (have to get on to the town planning council, methinks! ) but it's looking pretty good! -
3rd Party sounds don't you know...sound!
Wrench replied to GodsLt's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
are they listed in your SoundsList.ini, located in the /Flight folder? Are the wavs existent in your /Sounds folder? only enigne sounds don't need entries; all others need adding to the soundlist.ini -

Mirage III Set, Pakistani Air Force - For SF2, Full-4/5 Merged Installs - -- Another Addition For The India-Pakistan Mod -- *Please note if not fully merged, at minimum, you =MUST= also have SF2:V, SF2:E, and SF2:I, as the ROSE Mirage references the A-7D_78 cockpit, and various "parts" from the F-15 and F-16 Netz. Hence, the call for "Full-4/5 Merged" If you do NOT meet these requirements, do NOT download this mod as you'll be unable to use it.* This pack contains 3 complete aircraft: MirageIIIEA (ex-RAAF, hence "A" for Australia), with ROSE upgrade MirageIIIEL (ex FAL, Lebannon) MirageIIIEP (for Pakistan) All skin textures are jpg, and Decal randomization is set to TRUE. Almost all weapons are supplied; several of the unguided rockets and the AIM-9L/9P use stock 3W items (of course, if you have 3rdParty ones in your install, it'll use them). ECM/CM pods have been updated to the latest SF2 standards. As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. Please READ them! For Historical Purposes, all original TMF readmes are included. Dedicated to the memory of bpao; Oli you're missed! Happy Landings! Wrench kevin steinh -

Making new roundels and fin flash for aircraft?
Wrench replied to RogerSmith's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
good place to start, is TK's own Decal creation tutorial. http://combatace.com/files/file/345-strike-fighters-decal-tutorial/ as to 'services', you'll need to extract and edit the Nations.ini, found in the FlightData.cat -

don't you all think this conversion -aka "Thread Hijack"- should be in it's own theard, and NOT taking away from what EJ is doing with his Hornets? -
F-109 "Tweeks Pak" for SF2
Wrench posted a topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - File Announcements
File Name: F-109 "Tweeks Pak" for SF2 File Submitter: Wrench File Submitted: 27 July 2012 File Category: What If Hangar Bell (X)F-109 "AiraCobra II" - For SF2 (Any and All, but Full-4/5 Merged Prefered) - *This mod makes use of the F-4B cockpit and avionics inis, which should be available in all versions, excepting perhaps a stand-alone SF2:I. Hence, the 'Full-4 Merged' tag. It is the prefered type of install* An update of the update from 8/2011...now re-uploaded. Some mods for Veltro2K's (X)F-109 VTOL Interceptor bring it more in line for SF2. Modifications include (but not limited to): Skin slightly repainted All new decals for serial and Buzz Numbers. Squadron markings for the 48th FIS from Langley AFB Skin converted to jpg format Cockpit switched to stock F-4B (closest match) Canopy switched to manual animation key (use Shift/0) Weapons fit and mission statements more in line with a 'point defence interceptor' Reuse of classic Bell WW2 Fighter Name Decal randomization is set to TRUE, so be at least at the May or June 2011 patch level to take advantage of this feature. And many others. The pak is to be applied DIRECTLY over the orignal download, availble at the following URL: http://combatace.com/files/file/13169-bell-xf-109/ The aircraft LOD is NOT included. Weapons are not included; most are available from the GunnyPak (the 2 Falcons) 1stGen users please note: this is designed for SF2 usage; if used in SF/Wo* there may be incompatabilites that may cause unwanted failures. Use in a 1stGen environment at your own risk. As always, fairly easy to follow, detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them .... Of course, the usual "Notes" section. Which contains vital Operational Information . So read it! Veltro2k's original readme is also included. With thanks to V2K! Good Hunting! wrench kevin stein Click here to download this file -

TMF's -5NL, with correct cockpit I wouldn't go any further ... there are 3 versions with a dozen skins/decal sets, all hisorically correct. Just need the new FM from C5 (amongst other things for KAW ... sigh...) as for the 'blue overpainte' star, that was only used on ONE aircraft in VMF(N)513. all the others were standard markings -

playing as a communistic/ eastern pilot?
Wrench replied to X8X8X's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
oh, I forgot an IMPORTANT trick ... now that you've got the Migs flyable, open the main ini (in our example, we'll use the MiG-17F) so.. open the Mig-17F.ini, where you've added the cockpit lines. Now, do a 'save as..', and name it xMig-17F.ini what this will do, is allow you to 'reinstate' the aircraft with a 'one click re-save'. Because for some odd reason, the game will rewrite the AI-only aircraft's ini at completly random intervals. Also, after adding a patch or DLC, they'll all revert back to non-flyable. This method saves butt-loads of time and effort -

Wrench replied to ultramig688's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
wrong forum, brother!! That question belongs in the SF/Wo* Forums above! This the SF2 Forum but to anwser the question, the 08 patch should be in the SF/Wo* downloads section, Patchs & Utilities (iirc) or from the 3rd Wire site -
