Weird pilot position
Wrench replied to ValAstur's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
shoot ... by the title, I thought it was refering to the Kama Sutra or some Swedish Sex Manual!! you're missing whatever is 'called out' for a FakePilot. Re-read the instll instructions, and see what you missed you're alos missing the seat and the 'regular' pilot figure -

EAF MiG-17F Fresco-C Fighter-Bomber Mod =For SF2, Any and All - Reccomended for Use in SF2:I= This is a revamping of my 2008 releade of the same aircraft, now updated/tweeked/fiddled with for SF2*. As such, it is my not-so-humble attempt to duplicate the fighter-bomber modifications the EAF performed on their MiG-17's during the 6 Day War. *meaning....I'd forgotten I was doing it and stumbled across it 'hidden' in SF2I!* Inis have been adjusted to make use of various and sundry imporvement since the initial release. This is a complete package, with weapons*, skins, cockpit (Ordway's Fresco pit). Markings make use of all stock in-game decals. The only thing =NOT=included is the Fresco's LOD, as it's pretty much available in ALL versions of SF2. Loadouts have been 'adjusted', using the new 'change by year' feature, to discontinue use of the Sakr pak, and return to standard UB series rocket pods around 1975. The data ini (ie: Flight Model) is fully updated to the latest patch level (Oct 2011 -not the betas) *weapons included are the Sakr rocket rack and pylon set. It uses the S-5 57mm rocket that should be stock in all installs. The FAB-100 may require the GunnyPak* As always, fairly easy to follow, detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them!! As always, the usual "Notes" section for other interestering details and stuff. Good Hunting! wrench kevin stein -
Any ideas on how to...
Wrench replied to malibu43's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
what about just moving the 'drop out' hole in the dispenser to center of the SUU's lod, and let the AI treat it as multiple bombs? (ie: trick it) might have to change the dispenser from rocketpod to MER or something -

Dude, the WoI version has been availalbe since 2008 ... this is just the SF2 re-mod. Coming as soon as it gets approved. (there's a software glitch when I approve my own files ... so I let the other Staffers do it for me) -

Not actally about the KC=135/B-52 crash, but a bomber goes down off a Greek or Italian island, iirc. The 2-man cres wanders around the island (one in his underwear) getting into all kinds of mischief. I remember the water gets contaminated, somehow or another "The Day The Fish Came Out"

Texas/Mexico (ASW) tileset
Wrench replied to Stary's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - File Announcements
i feel the pain, brother! Instead of using the standard sea/desert transions, I wish I done it like I did for CubaOTC - just make a single tile out of howevermanyneeded, and shrunk to fit. Would have made them much closer in scale to real life (the barrier island are fairly narrow -- 50-200 meters wide) -

3200 isnt enough; shoot, even 6400 wouldn't be enough some times 128000 might be getting there... One of the reason I use the 'cheat' tiles in my TEs, with the painted borders for transion tiles -
Hangarscreens
Wrench replied to DarthRevan's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
yup, they now have to reside in EVERY single skin folder for EVERY add-on skin; and in every add-on aircraft. Best to start converting them bmps to jpg, as they're like 75% smaller (average 200-500k, verses 2.3mg for bmp style) I hope he 're'fixes this back to the way it was. -
