Republic F-84E Thunderjet by RussoUK, for SF2
Wrench posted a topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - File Announcements
File Name: Republic F-84E Thunderjet by RussoUK, for SF2 File Submitter: Wrench File Submitted: 26 September 2011 File Category: F-84 Republic F-84E Thunderjet by RussoUK =For SF2, Any and All (Full-4 Merged Reccomended/Preferred,etc)= *Expansion Pak 1 may be necessary for WW2 era weapons, if not using the GunnyPak* Some modifications, tweeks, and general fiddlating on Russo's fine F-84E Thunderjet. Skins provided are: 36th FBW, USAFE circa 1952 when commanded by Col. Robert L. Scott (yes, that guy!) 49th FBG, FEAF/5th AF, Tageu, Korea circa 1951/53 -yes, the entire group, all 3 squadrons: 7th FBS (Blue/White) 8th FBS (Yellow/Black) 9th FBS (Red/White) All new, 100% historically correct serial and BuzzNumber decals have been created for all skins. It should be noted, that while those for the 36th FBW =ARE= for those aircraft from the 36th, I was unable to pin down exactly which squadron(s) in the Wing. Some of the 49th FBW skins have stars (*) in their number lists (7th & 8th FBS) next to the ID number, denoting those with 100% positive identification; excepting the 9th FBS, where =ALL= have been 100% positively IDed as serving in that squadron. Those without stars (*) served in the 49th, but not to my full satisfaction as to which squadron. Rest assured, if I say they're correct for The Wing, they are. Like the recently released F-84G, it has a new 'experimental' SF2-level flight model, uses the same Sabre drop tanks, and uses the same manual keyed animation (surprise! Shift/0) to open and close the canopy. It also uses the same sound file, not included. The same 'generic-style' hangar screen from the G is included as well. A userlist is included; it may need some adjustments as to other NATO/MAP users -which are welcomed! 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 Click here to download this file -

File Name: F-84G Thunderjet, Imperial Iranian AF File Submitter: Wrench File Submitted: 27 September 2011 File Category: F-84 F-84G Thunderjet, Imperial Iranian Air Force =For SF2, Any and All (Full-4 Merged Reccomended/Preferred,etc)= A simple addition for the recently released F-84G Upgrade Pak. This skin represent all aircraft as used by the IIAF during the 1950s and 60s, until they were replaced by F-5As sometime around 1965ish. All new historical serial numbers for the 75 aircraft were created, depicting the 3 squadrons of the Wing that operated them from Mehrabad (like, how hard is it to do 3-01 thru 3-75???). Decal radomization is set to TRUE, so be at whatever patch level is requried (post May/June/whatever!) As always, fairly easy to follow, detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them!! The expected "Notes" section as well, for those interested. Happy Landings! wrench kevin stein Click here to download this file -

Skinning for beginners
Wrench replied to Slickbomb's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
simmerspaintshop.com has EXCELLENT turotials!! GIMP, Photoshop, the other one like PS ... great stuff there! as to templates, there are pretty much none for SF2; there are some home-grown versions, some are in the downloads section. For the most part .. we build our own good luck, have fun and don't get too discouraged. all our 1st efforts came out horrid! (except maybe Sundowners... ) -

NF-5 wing tanks help
Wrench replied to daddyairplanes's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
the having the tank skins in the skin folder trick only works if the tanks are part of the aircraft lod, iirc (like the stock 3W birds) otherwise, it's the old hex-edit trick to create new tanks specific to a skin, which requires the End User to change them manually on the Loadout Screen. as to not showing up, is there a main ini, and a data ini IN the tank's folder? (i know it's a dumb question, but...) -
How can i have more than one GermanyCE based terrains ?
Wrench replied to squid's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
did you change the ini names? (and why would you need more than one? just use the tile size that works/runs best your machine, and let it go at that) -

File Name: Republic F-84G Thunderjet by RussoUK , For SF2 File Submitter: Wrench File Submitted: 22 September 2011 File Category: F-84 Republic F-84G Thunderjet by RussoUK =For SF2, Any and All (Full-4 Merged Reccomended/Preferred,etc) *Expansion Pak 1 may be necessary for WW2 era weapons, if not using the GunnyPak* Some modifications, tweeks, and general fiddling on Russo's fine F-84G Thunderjet. Skins provided are: 159th FBS, USAF in Korea 468th SFS, 508th SFW, USAF/SAC, Turner AFB, GA (both by JSF_Aggie) 6th Aerobrigata AMI (originally by Stephan S, with all new decals by me) Royal Danish Air Force Portugese Air Force, 20th Squadron Generic Natural Metal (above 3 by me) All new decals for the RDAF (historicaly correct, but representing no particular squadron) and a 'generic' set of serials and Buzz Numbers for the G-NM are included. As generic in nature, they represent no particular squadron, but these along with the G-NM skin can be used for other NATO operative countries (Greece, Turkey, etc). The 6 ACB skin has several actual, historic serials. These are marked with a star (*) on the number lst. All others ARE those as used by AMI T-Jets, but was unable to lock in a particular unit. Some of the additions/changes are locating the node-name so the nose wheel now piviots for steering, addition of a landing light (nose only), canopy operated via manual animation key (use, as expected, Shift/0). Armor protection has also been upgraded. The avionics have been adjusted to activate the radar-ranging gunsight. A new userlist was also created -it may not be fully accurate, and adjustments are welcomed! Loadouts use WW2 era bombs from the GunnyPak, but is easily readjusted to use those from SF2 expansions 1 & 2. External drop tanks use the everpresent F-86 tanks for those under-fuselage mounts (closest shape and size). A new AN-M81 260 lb fragmentation bomb (from KAW) is included and used for CAS/Armed Recon. The inner hardpoints have been split into 2 groups, as the G model had a nuclear delivery mode, with a bomb on one inner hardpoint, and a drop tank on the other. These early bombs are available in my 3W F-84F upgrade kit, available here at CA. For mission builders, an "alternative loadout for CAS/Attack/SEAD is included using the Triple rocket racks. As always, fairly easy to follow, detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them!! PLEASE read the extensive "Notes" section ... there's Vital Information on operation uses and glitches that you need to be aware of.
