SF2 Screenshot Thread
Wrench replied to Stary's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
Using FastCargo's ruler tool to try & figure out some decal placements, as now in SF2, unmapped sections of the lod turn black; whereas in 1stGens, they turned white thereby hiding themselves against the painted surface so... caption this picture "I Roolz" or "I wanted to see how long I was flying" -

Vought/Goodyear FG-1D Corsair (F4U-1D) Fuerza Aérea Salvadoreña (El Salvador Air Force) (wolf257) -- For SF2, Any and All Versions (Full-4 Merged reccomended, and/or SF2V due to the use of the destroyed A-1 Skyraider model*) Many modifications and a complete reskin of Wolf257s F4U Corsair into those as used by the El Salvadoran Air Force. This is a complete aircraft, ready to unzip and fly away. Weapons, sounds, skins, decals, etc (for the most part!) are all included. This is basically the version I released in 2009, now uprated for SF2 usage with a new flight model and other minor tweeks. This mod makes use of the latest patch level tweeks for randomization of aircraft serial/ID numbers. So, make sure you're at least at June 2011 or above level. Included are a new SF2-style hangar screen, some weapons, engine sound and a pilot figure. A Userlist is included, even though this is a "Nationalized" version. The WW2-era bombs are NOT included; you can find them in the GunnyPak, or edit the loadout ini to use stock 3rdWire ones, if you have SF2:Is Expansion Pak 1. As always, READ the enclosed readme for full, detailed instructions. This package has been broken down into the various folders that SF2 needs/requires/should have, to make it a LOT easier to install. Happy Landings! wrench kevin stein *=unless you download the 'WW2 Destroyed Planes Pak', and edit the data ini to point the wreck of your choice (and yes, the appropriate terrain IS still being worked on!!) -

why not, instead of attaching to a post =which will eventually wander off the bottom of the page, and clog/fill up your /attachments folder here on the server= upload them? There should be a category for menu screen in the SF2 D/L section and they are NICE! wrench kevin stein -
Terrain problem
Wrench replied to DoctorWho's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
could you be a little less specific??? is it safe to assume the TOD biuldings are not showing up? (meaning: the little 1,2 and 3 story buildings in cities) along with the trees. which terrains? a single terrain, or ALL add-on terrains? are the stock terrains showing their terrain objects? which cat are they pointing to? (example below) Terrain cat tutorial: http://combatace.com/topic/50389-selecting-the-proper-terrain-cat/ more information is requred if we're to diagnose this issue -

Color Change after adding .TGA Decals
Wrench replied to Veltro2k's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
I'd suggest 'cheating' ... like I've done on many of my RAF skins. Make the roundel/DF one decal (ok, 2 - since r & l are opposite) at Level=0, and the individual a/c letter at Level=2 something like this: (mind you, wrong font here) -

Lockheed U-2A for SF2
Wrench posted a topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - File Announcements
File Name: Lockheed U-2A for SF2 File Submitter: Wrench File Submitted: 11 December 2010 File Category: Other Lockheed U-2A =For SF2 (any and all merge levels) *Note: as I'm not fully sure if "Dragon Lady" applies to this early model, I didn't add the name*. This is a slight overhaul of Pasko/Column5's Lockheed U-2A recon plane. This is a full aircraft pak, with a modified cockpit. All new serial number decals have been created, historcally accurate for the USAF version, and those discoverable for CIA usage (US civil N-series). Both the original skins (NM and 'dark gray') are included. A new SF2-style hangar screen is included, as is Pasko's "PilotU2" , dressed in the 1950s style pressure suit. The flight model feels pretty good in SF2, considering it hasn't been tweeked since 2005, but the aircraft is NOT a fighter, so don't expect massive manuverabililty. Other ini tweek remove some unneeded cockpit bits, add an audio-only RWR (couldn't find any info if A-models had jammer suites), landing lights, and a working Driftsight (ie: downward looking periscope). A destroyed model has also been assigned, for SF2 users. As always, =READ= the enclosed readme for full, detailed instructions. This package has been broken down into the various folders that SF2 needs/requires/should have, to make it a LOT easier to install. Also, as usual, the expected 'Notes and Other Nonesense' comments by me. You should pay special attention to the "Flying the U-2" sections below, as it explains the use of the 'driftsight' and other things you'll need to know for correctly flying recon missions in this bird. It is also highly likely this mod can be used in 1stGen SF/Wo* with minimal adjustments -- as 08 level game also use the /Decals subfolder, this should pose no issue whatsoever. Some data ini adjusment of the landing gear rolling radi may be necessary. Since I don't mod 1stGens anymore, this was not tested. And yes, for those that look for such things, there are 2 Easter Eggs in the cockpit (actually, 3, but one seems to have disappeared!). Happy Landings!

Lockheed U-2A for SF2
Wrench replied to Wrench's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - File Announcements
it's a full aircraft package .... EVERYTHING was included. I'd delete it from your install, and try again. Cause it works fine for everyone else, or there'd have been more complaints. -
