SF2: North Atlantic
Wrench replied to Dave's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Knowledge Base
20 bucks you say????..... .....hmmm..... maybe the Persian Gulf and Central America terrains should go payware??????.... I sure as f*** could use the money (have to split it with Gepard for PG, as it was his original TFD/HFD I rebuilt). Central America is all mine, though... ....food for thought..... -
SF2NA on Windows XP & DX9?
Wrench replied to ndicki's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
gerwin: don't think there IS a TFD/HFD anymore -- this terrain is LOD based. Just like an airplane, or ships or tank. There may not even be texture tiles like we're used to; everything may applied as a material. but again ... without the frakking extractor, we're just farting in the wind -

SF2NA on Windows XP & DX9?
Wrench replied to ndicki's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
I hear you, Michael!! has anyone even tried the (as I've only heard of this...) some kind of a beta DX10 for XP?? I know nothing about it, just read it somewhere on some board someplace... it may be worth some investigating for the XP users. -
SF2NA on Windows XP & DX9?
Wrench replied to ndicki's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
ok...lets get this straightened out once and for all... the new terrain engine is for SF2NA ONLY. It has abso-frakking-loutley NO effect on the Original 4 Terrains , and 3rdParty addon terrains, as they still use the original terrain engine. As to the XP/DX9 thing, the Manufacturer said "it ain't gonna work". It can't and don't get any clearer than that. -

Basic Mission Template
Wrench replied to Dave's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion

Aircraft .LOD's
Wrench replied to pappychksix's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
lods are located in ObjectData002.cat. Which is locked out since early 2011. No extractor will open it, not even TKs. Which is why several of us keep archived pre-may2011 extracted cats 'off board'. what are you looking for, in particular? -

Wrench replied to gerwin's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
I get that a lot when trying to generate planning maps Ant, you might have to run it in the standard TE, add the tile to the textureset, save, and let a new TFD generate (which, of course, dosn't actually solve the problem....). The TFD being where the tile data is stored -
Call to Soviet Cockpit 3d Modders: Yak-38
Wrench replied to streakeagle's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
of course, we're kinda screwed without the new extractor ... without that, we don't/can't know the pilot position to dial in the pit. -

well, checking Red Star 36 on the Yaks --- they have no active radar, but only lead computing gunsights, one can see the OddsRods antenna, so a Serina, and an weak inernal jammer, I'd reccomend the MiG-21F13 cockpit for now. One could 'get away' with the radar-ranging gunsight as used therein too. mind you, just as a stand in. I cn post pics, if anyone wants.... -
Dogfight start position adjustment

For the 790 billionth time .... PLEASE!!!! DO NOT POST QUESTIONS IN THE KNOWLEDGE BASE!!!! ========= to actually answer the question, those are the x and y coordinates on the terrain, as measured from the lower left corner (the 0,0 point) -
yes, they maybe insane, but they ain't stupid.

I have a "new" A-4Q and A-4P both in SF2 -- I know I rebuilded them. Maybe I just never released them???
