F-94B cockpit (proper)
Wrench replied to Stary's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - File Announcements
hello walter! unfortunately, stary hasn't been around for some years. OTH, I don't see a problem with using the pit for you project. IIRC, Stary is a signatory of the Freeware Agreement. All we ask in proper credit is given for it so, even as a what if, that new Horton you showed on FB and Forums here had radar?? Cause the F-94 pit sure does! (i guess handy for the IM series A-G missiles?) will you be releasing the completed mod here at CA?? -

WW2 WIPs Thread
Wrench replied to Wrench's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - World War II Forum
shoot, all i'm thinking about is, what a nightmare trying to get a proper cockpit for that 111 is going to be ... the dashboard on those is on the ceiling, just above the pilot's eyeline. (re: watch "Battle of Britain", 1969) But that H model is needed soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo badly for WW2 -
I wouldn't fill in the shelter just as yet ... there's still plenty of comets and asteroids out there, looking for a place to land...

Of course I forgive you, man! OTH, the Vimy does look pretty good! I think I saw the one that flew across the Atlantic, and the US in the early 2000s (the one with the Chevy V8 engines). Saw this big twin engine biplane come into the Santa Monica airport. couldn't get away from the shop to go home, grab a camera, and get the airport to be sure. Pity. Would have been super cool!!

View File SF2 Lockheed C-121G/R7V-1 Super Constellation Pack SF2 Lockheed C-121G/R7V-1 Super Constellation Pack 5/2/2020 -For SF2, Any and All (Full 4/5 Merged Reccomended) "Quarantine Approved - Essential Mods" This package contains a new aircraft, with 4 skin/decal sets, the Lockheed C-121G of the USAF & R7V-1 of the US Navy. These represent the Super Constellation cargo/transport versions as used by both services. This mod is based of the RC/EC-121 by RussoUK The 4 skins included use the SF2 "date switch" to activate when needed. Most markings are decals, with the exception of (more than a few) painted on markings. All serial/Bunums are 100% historically accurate, but I was unable to attach specific ones to their units. With only 50-odd aircraft ever built, this isn't really a problem. They ARE assigned to their actual US military services (Navy or Air Force). Decal randomization is TRUE. All skins are in jpg format. Sounds, pilot figures, etc are included. Each skin has their own individual Hangar Screen. A 'box art' style Loading Screen is also included. It should also be noted, these are NEW skins, by me, modified/adapted from the existing ones in the C-121/WV-2s previously released. Inside you'll find: USAF C-121G: 1501st Air Transport Group, (MATS) c.1954, NMF/White uppers, Travis AFB "MAC" -unknown unit-, c.1966, NMF/W USN R7V-2/C-121J: VR-1 "Starlifters" c.1954, NMF overall, NAS Patuxent River VR-7 "Seahorses" c.1960, NMF/White uppers, NAS Moffat Field When in game, on the Aircraft Selection Drop down menu, you'll see: C-121G/R7V-1 Super Constellation (R) This will differentiate it from any other military Constellations that may (or may not) be available. The "R" stands for RussoUK, the model maker. Please note, the "R7V-1" designation was changed to "C-121J" in 1962 under SecDef McNamara's overhaul of the military numbering conventions. As is always recommended, unzip to a temp folder or your desktop to give easy access to the rest of this readme for it's install instructions. Happy Landings!

Having Alpha Channel problems with TGA files?
Wrench replied to LloydNB's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
That's why I still use PS.6, even though I lost the installer years ago. 4 different HD, and have to copy/paste the whole program. I do have PS7 as well, but don't like how it handles certain things I do seem to recall there was patch for 32bit tgas for PS.7, and I had it once. Don't know where it went... -
SF2 Bell TH1-L Huey Remod Pack
Wrench posted a topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - File Announcements
View File SF2 Bell TH1-L Huey Remod Pack SF2 Bell TH1-L Huey Remod Pack 4/30/2021 -For SF2 =ONLY= (Full 4/5 Merged Recommended) This is an update/remod back of the TH1-L Huey trainer as used by Helicopter Training Squadron 18 (HT-18) "Vigilant Eagles" from 1969 thru 1998(ish). The original SF1 upload, from 2005, has recieved something of an overhaul, mostly to the skin, and now with the addition of 100% historical BuNum (serials) and Modex/pennant numbers. Extensive research has allowed me to run down the full 45 aircraft production run, as used by both HT-8 and HT-18. All serials are 100% historically correct. when possible, they have been matched to their Modex/Pennant numbers. Those with the star (*) on the Number list are positives matches. Those without the star, could not be matched to a specific Modex. This is the full aircraft, with all necessary parts included (sounds, pilots, etc). A new Hangar Screen was created, as well as damage tgas and the addition of a destroyed model. The data ini has had the hit boxes corrected. The FM itself remains untouched from it's original "as issued" state. Be advised of continuing issues with helo FMs in SF2. The Standard Animation Keystroke (tm), shift/0 (zero) opens the sliding cabin doors. When in game, on the aircraft selection drop down you'll see: TH-1L Huey As is always recommended, unzip to a temp folder or your desktop to give easy access to the rest of this readme for it's install instructions. PLEASE read them, before installing!!! The full Change Log is also in the "Notes" section. The original release readme from 2005 is also included, for historical purposes. Happy Landings!

Can't get A6 cockpit to work in Vietnam
Wrench replied to 1Patriot-of-many's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
check within the A-6A's main aircraft folder for the existence of a /cockpit subfolder, along with the A-6A_avoincis.ini, A-6A_Cockpit.ini. within the cockpit folder you should have a parts list, as below if not, well, you'll have to find them -
ThirdWire.... What a shame !!!
Wrench replied to Veltro2k's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
In the early days, when SF1 was first released, he did. It was the community (albeit no one still around) that through their comments and harassments, that made him go underground (so to speak). I was there, saw it all. But, yes, it is disappointing and disconcerting that nothing has been mentioned about the W10 upgrade. I do, however, take into account the total shitstorm the last 14+ months have been. So, even while still on W7, I can afford to be paitient for The 10. -

why, of course. why would ask??? in truth, i was thinking of USN 8 in gun cruisers from ww2, that were used in Korea and SEA. however, some RN and soviet post-war to 1960s would be cool, too. -
