Aircraft types not updating in SF2I campaigns
Wrench replied to warthog64's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mission & Campaign Building Discussion
campaign stuff i don't know about ... the last campaign I played was in 2005 in the original Desert map (cheated with nukes as soon as the 1st weapons pack came out) I was talking about the "paragraph look" you mentioned above -
Generic DD / CA
Wrench replied to snowburn's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mission & Campaign Building Discussion
some 'generic' types, sometimes assigned to various countries are sometimes included within terrain mods. So, it'll take a bit more searching. but, most definately, one needs to research what exactly they had, and what will stand in (the correct term) for what's not available. RN would definately still have Tribals on inventory -

Wrench replied to warthog64's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mission & Campaign Building Discussion
something with the board's software, on certain formated items. i've had it happen to me too. -
hahahah!!! there's a "version" of that in the "Civil Firefighters" mod for SF2. I just thought it was a joke! as to the air ambulance, maybe they'll use the underslung pods we've seen in another thread??? ducks and runs ...........................................................---------->

Wrench replied to warthog64's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mission & Campaign Building Discussion
also, let's not the aircraft/vehicle userlist inis, and more importantly, each terrains "LimitedNations" statement and list. that should prevent (the operative words, of course) anything that don't belong from appearing where it ain't supposed to. Terrain's also have a "GroundObjectTexture=" statement that (again,the operative word) should prevent desert camo fro showing up in Germany and vice versa. -
Impassable escort missions
Wrench replied to SandMartin's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
the winds are all CGI, so they're not "really real" actually, they're supposed to effect bombs, missiles and the aircraft, but I too have never seen it. it maybe as guuruu said. -
Radar signal jamming
Wrench replied to GKABS's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
don't forget the RCS modifier, in the "AircraftData" statements (check the F-117 & B-2) -

um, since Day1, 2003 Jordi!!! next time your near an airbase, watch the windsocks, too (or any flags) -
funny thing is, the RAF W/C is Paul Frees, the "man of a thousand voices". actually kind of nice to SEE him on screen; you usually just hear him. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Frees (those that have been to the Haunted Mansion at Disneyland -Anaheim will recognize his voice over from there as well)

while looking for something else, I found this on YouTube. I have vague recollections of seeing some episodes as a verrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrry young boy in the early 1960s I'll have to search around, and see if the rest of the series is on YT

“Oldbie” Question -SF2 Flight Planning
Wrench replied to Mike Dora's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
remember the missioncontrol ini is a GLOBAL controller. I'm wondering if some of that there stuff might be hard coded in one of the dll. I know manually flying, you can be as low as you want, but wingmates tend to "wander". yes, everything is in metrications -
“Oldbie” Question -SF2 Flight Planning
Wrench replied to Mike Dora's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
I'm so jealous!! I've never even SEEN the Grand Canyon!! Back to the matter at hand: what about trying to adjust the AI routines by specific, tailored statements in the data ini?? You might have to add the "pilot" experience statements as well. Extract the "AircraftAIData.ini" from the cat 001, and examine it. You can copy/paste various statements (LevelBombAI), and so forth into the data ini, and then adjust the altitudes. You can even adjust the "minimum and maximum" experience of AI flghts/pilots as well (we did this on the KAW Sabres). A LOT of experimentation will probably be needed. -

singlemission.dll
Wrench replied to one4five's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
no, you can't. once you're at the 2013 level, there's no going back. since everything is always withing the various cats, dll, and whatnots, they can't backed to an earlier date. Hence the term "full ***(number of) install" also, SF2v never had a locations.bmp or a briefing ini. Briefing are generated from (iirc) the various mission data cats We have to ask this next question, as there's a lot of pirated/warez installers running around, so don't be offended: Where did you get SF2V? Direct download from 3rdWire??? If so, I'd uninstall the ENTIRE SF2 set up (not just the mods folder), reinstall ALL your SF2s games, and start completely fresh. There is something very wrong going on in your install -
Strike Fighters 2 Tutorial: Radars, RWR, and Missiles
Wrench replied to GKABS's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
Wrong thread, buddy. Create a new one (thread) and ask the question there. This not the right place (thread-wise) for that. Also, when you do that, clairify EXACTLY what you mean. The aircraft are always pre-loaded with what they can carry- 26 replies

Wrench replied to JSF_Aggie's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - File Announcements
Good for you!! I d/led it last night, but hadn't had a chance to install it. I'd have had to renumber the _types.ini entries, as I was putting it in a stock VNSEA terrrain. I have a whole mods folder for just testing things (mostly the aircraft we build) -
Updated Korat RTAFB
Wrench replied to JSF_Aggie's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - File Announcements
did you ADD the new targets to the END of the VietnamSEA_Types.ini??? You have to extract if first from the VNSEA.cat file, then place it INTO the VietnamSEA terrain folder (you DO have a VNSEA terrain sub-folder in you /Terrains folder, yes?) This is just a simple copy and paste, it's kinda hard to mess it up
