WIP Mega THREAD!

I good! I've been sitting the VC10 for months, waiting for a skin! Now, if someone can point me to serial number listings .... -
Imported/Converted skins ...
Wrench posted a topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
What exactly is the procedure for importing , converting and releasing FS** skins for use with the same freeware aircraft we have here?? Need a little guidence here.. In particular, the Super Connie airliner that Russ & I did. I finally figured out (most) of the mapping differences, and was able to redo 2 skins I found through massive searching (apparently there's more than one L-1049G Super Connie around and they're not even close to each other!!!) There was no read me for any of the skins I found, although the zip was called "ALPHA_Constellation_Set_FS9". It contained the EC/RC 121s & TWA we already have, plus BOAC and Lufthansa (see below). So, how does one credit the original creators? Providing there's a way to give proper credits, where can I find the Quantas and Air France skins??? I know they exist. I think these would make excellent eye candy for the 1950s. thanks! -

How force carrier mission on IcelandNA (Single mission)?
Wrench replied to Eagle114th's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mission & Campaign Building Discussion
that's really odd, because when flying for the US Navy , all I ever gotten is carrier based missions. And, yes all single, game generated missions. From the 1st day of installation- 7 replies

Imported/Converted skins ...
Wrench replied to Wrench's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
it's actually just those 2 airlines, Air France and KLM for our European bases and CA members (ie: GermanyCE). The problem is there's not that many for the alphasim model. Lots for the others, especially for the earlier 749 and 049 Connies. DA: The difference is, these skins are already set up -- just minor fill-in painting required to decals can be used for registration numbers. For the most part, on several I DID have to repaint the windows. on the Northwest Orient shown below, the original skin actually has CURTAINS in the windows!!!! -

Imported/Converted skins ...
Wrench replied to Wrench's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
found templates for the Alphasim Connie, but they're layer-less. So, I had to build my own. unfortunately, 99% of the skins I've downloaded are not for the alphasim model. and the one or 2 have found are so corrupted, no image program can open them (5 different ones, including MS paint!!). I have a BOAC skin to finish, and that might be it. Unless I become a better texture artist than I am for KLM and Air France -

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.
