Honestly, that's just too much frakking work, when there's soooooooooo many easier ways. Try this attached; of course, it assumes a full-4/5 merged install with the Hunter 1 available. If you don't have the Hunter 1, you can use the FGA.9 pit, and the positioning as shown in the attached ini. in the screenie below, you can see what it looks like. The gunsight is from my WW2 mods, it's the Mk.III 'AceMaker' edit: for everyone else, it's usable on ALL 3W Vamps

Brother Raven should get a cee-gar for finding that!!

sometimes you do things, just to see if it can be done (and for grins and giggles). Now, Sandesh will need to make another dozen decals!! As much as I bitched about SF2NA, it DID bring some workable items to the table (like the CVBG above), and this. It'll look nice parked on the bases

that was the clue I needed!! Using an 08 level 104G lod, that shows up on the 'LOD Hunt'. EDIT: forgot I have archived pre-lock extracted cats. Yes, that is the node name for the 104G and CF-104s as well

yes. i like my security holes

need to add the CastoringNodeName= which, unfortunately, was left out of the data ini. That's create the visual of the nose wheel piviting CastoringWheel=TRUE CastoringNodeName= <---- Steerable=TRUE MaxSteeringSpeed=41.15 Locking=FALSE MaxSteeringAngle=25.0 InputName=YAW_CONTROL

testing the new naval forces on the India-Pakistan map. Virrat's BG under attack...

it's considered a 'new upload' or more acurately, updated upload. For us, it's just one click to re-approve the What If Hangar is... SF2 Serise Add On Aircraft/What If Hangar you'll see it as a 2nd category under the main

all uploads have to be approved by The Staff and just so's ya know, "What If.." and other Fantasy stuff goes in the "What If Hangar". It's for aircraft and skins

ed, where did you install the aircraft's folder to??? remember, the "mods folder" is in the C:\Users\*your-name-here*\Saved Games\ThirdWire\StrikeFighters2 NorthAtlantic folder don't forget that decals go in the C:\Users\*your-name-here*\Saved Games\ThirdWire\SF2-*name-of-game-here*\Objects\Decals\*name-of-aircraft-here* folder (and of course, I deleted all the screenshots of folder structures...over the weekend....)

make sure it gets into the correct category ....

File Name: India-Pakistan Terrain Water Bmp Fixit Pak File Submitter: Wrench File Submitted: 18 July 2012 File Category: SF2 Series Add On Terrains India-Pakistan Water Bmp Fix Pak 7/18/2012 - For SF2, Any and All, But Designed for Full-5 Merged w/SF2NA - A very small fix that removes a "modder induced problem" (hangs head in shame), with the _water.bmp for the India-Pakistan Terrain. I had totally forgotten that the Game Engine ™ classes India as an "Enemy" nation, therefore it uses the 'other color' for it's carrier zones. I'd orignally used the 'standard green', as seen on various others; that's the 'Friendly Nation' (Blue Side) color. That pale-ish green is used for those classed an 'Red Side". This is now corrected. A Blue Side green zone was added in case anyone make Pakistani Navy ships, so the DD/FF/whatever groups have someplace to steam around. Sorry for the inconvience! As always, fairly simple, easy to follow install instructions are included. Please read and follow them. It's pretty straight-forward (for once!)

as soon as they're finished testing, there's a whole slew of ships comming too, carriers, frigates, and so forth

didn't Ordway do something along those line??? Have you checked in the 1stGen downloads, cockpit section?? there are several alternatives... this one by Raven, tweeked of Wolf's F4U pit http://combatace.com/files/file/11270-vampire-cockpitzip/ a "1Jet_cockpit" by me in Venom upgrade pak (based of Kess' Spit Pit, with slightly retextured/labeled gauges) http://combatace.com/files/file/3889-dh-venom-update/ and of course, what I did....simply pointed it to the Hunter 1 pit. Took less than 2 minutes! (and that includes extracting the Hunter pit ini. If you want the ini, with it's correct positioning, let me know! (tested/using right now on the IAF Vampire 52 -- which I still have finish off 50odd historical serial number decals for Indo-Pak) Unfortunately, you're not gonna find a 100% accurate pit for it ... it just don't exist. We have to go with the 'best looking, best fitting' of what's available.

well, if someone has the 1stGen WoI expansion, they can extract the cockpit lod and use a hex editor to find the node name (as Coupi is right, the cockpt ini only calls the needles) what is the end result you're trying to accomplish? There may be alternative cockpits, with a British look, that might not require so much work.

I need to update the decals ini from the Harrier FRS1, now being 'converted' to the Mk.51 for the INAS. On the old LOD, the lower fin was 'fuselagetail', on the FRS1 lod, that dosent exist. I've gone over the OUT file, and even scanned the LOD with a hex editor, but can't locate the mesh name. Anybody know it? It's where the INAS puts the aircraft serial numbers. TIA!

you should see the lo-viz gray with the LUSH upgrade with Pythons and Derbys!!

never mind ... I'm an idiot!! on the late gray loviz, they work. the mesh is "Quille" ignore this thread...

notice the insignia? I think only the Czech models come with this ... model???

here's the stock 3W Harrier GR1 masqurading as the SeaHarrier 51; with Python/Derby mounts. It'll need a new lo-viz skin, but that's easy (after all, I made the templates!!

Sandesh, to answer you queston on the nose probe, yes! Paulo, here's the version I'd been working on before I knew about yours ... 5PA2 (w/Rose II i think!). I was using the stock 5D lod, as that's readily available to all with SF2I and/or Full 4/5 merged installs. be glad to share what I've got! (meaning: your skins are nicer!! ) (should have took the shot with the canopy open, and the light on, drat!)

abso-frakking-lutely!!! suggestions would be FRANCE,WP,INDIA (i'm sure it carries STRIM400, Matra-155s, and whatever indegneious missiles/bombs/RPs that were built for it. like the INAS Harriers carrying SoAfrican Derbys.

you mean like these????? TMF J-7I, J-7II; there's also a J-7IIA. (and iirc F-7B) I got them to finish from Crusader/Sundowner late last year? early this year?? Having a small avionics issue with one -can't remember which- but, essentially, they're done as to theoriginal question, that decal trick worked on first gens only ... we had the same problem in the IndoPak mmod ... the mesh name may have changed and/or we're unable to put decals on 'glass'. (double tga??). Tried for over a week, and just gave up. Have you considered using the 21FL body??? It'll need a good deal of data ini edits to add the 2 30mm gusn...but it's doable

great work, guys! i just have a bad feeling .... you'll have everything finshed, and ready to go, when Expansion3 is released with it's M.F1. Be llike my A-4A mod, ya know??? but i'm liking where YOU are going with this!
