USAF F-16A Block 15 (Mirage Factory) for SF2 ?
Wrench replied to Coupi's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
block numbering goes all the way back to WW2; AAF birds most def!!! (P-47D-20, P-51D-10, P-38J-5, etc). Oddly, I don't remember anything about USN birds of the period, just the sub-number (SBD-5, F6F-5N, SB2C-4, etc) -
Addons question
Wrench replied to ponssebastian's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
they all install 'together'. meaning, there's a group of core files that all use. You create the seperate games via each exe. That creates the individual mods folders, where one can install era and location specific items. If you want the IDF campaigns, you'll need SF2:I, as it already has (at least?) 4 campaigns, and all the necessary items. not the least of which is the IsrealME terrain -

SF2 Super Mystere B.2 (EG) Pack
Wrench posted a topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - File Announcements
View File SF2 Super Mystere B.2 (EG) Pack SF2 Super Mystere B.2 (EG) Pack 6/7/2024 -For SF2, Any and All-(Full 5 Merged Suggested ) -Another 1stGen Salvage Operation- This is a rebuild of EricGen's 1stGen Dassault Super Mystere B.2, as used by the French and Israeli Air forces from the 1950s through the 1970s. This mod is set up and labeled to cause NO conflicts with the Mystere IVA available from within the game (Third Wire) or any mods of the stock bird that may exist. Skins remain in their original bmp format. Most markings are decals, with the exception of the fuselage color bands on some of the NMF skins. Decal Randomization is TRUE. All necessary items are provided, decals, weapons, pilots, sounds, and so forth. Some you've probably got already. If I missed any, PLEASE let me know and I'll get it fixed. The canopy operates with the Standard Animations Keystroke (tm), Shift/0 (zero). The cockpit provided is one of Stary's superb works, and can also be used on the stock 3W version (as for some reason, "out of the box" it's not player flyable). The aircraft is supplied with a number skins for the varying Air Forces: France: EC 1/5 Vendee (1961-1966) EC 1/10 Valois (1958-1974) EC 2/5 Ile de France (1961-66) EC 2/10 Seine (1958-1968) EC 2/12 Cornouailles (<1959) Israel: No.105 Sqdn "The Scorpion" (NMF 1958) No.105 Sqdn (Blue/Brown Camo <62) No.105 Sqdn (3-tone <69) As indicated above, you can see the the SF2 "date switch" is active. When in-game, on the Aircraft Selection Drop down you'll see: Super Mystere B2 (EG) So you can't mistake it for anything other than what it is. This will also differentialize THIS one from the 3W Super Mystere that's stock in game. This includes NOT conflicting with the superb skin/ini pack that PauloPanz did some years back (reccomended!!!!). As always fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them. All original readmes, when discoverable, are included; several are actually in their respective skin folders. The 'Change Log' is, of course, in the Notes section below.

The IDF/AF 2-tone is a brand new skin, as it had never been created for the original release (2004-ish) The IDF/AF 3-tone late camo is a "rebuilt" skin, as the original had the wrong colors. All other skins have had a least some minor repainting. The Indian AF skin does =NOT= break the serials down into their respective squadrons, nor are there any squadron 'nose art' badges. Consider them generic in nature, although the serials are ALL historically correct. When in-game, on the Aircraft Selection Drop down you'll see: Mystere IVA (AJ) So you can't mistake it for anything other than what it is. This will also diferentiate THIS one from the 3W Mysetere IVA that's stock in game. This includes NOT conflicting with the superb skin/ini pack that PauloPanz did some year back (reccomended!!!!). As stated above, this mod makes use of the STOCK 3rd Wire cockpit from it's MyIVA, but I've left in the originial F-86 cockpit (with some mods) and it's inis from 2004. It's also been updated to add any missing bits. The template I made is also included. It's "medium rez", in 1024x. Make of it what you will.

Wrench replied to ponssebastian's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
(though you won't see this for a day...) when the game is started for the 1st time, it automatically creates the Mods folder. It's just called that; I don't remember why (been a few million years). It's always ALWAYS in the /SaveGames folder under you User ID. That's just how SF2 works. If you look for, you will find it!! -

SF2 TMF Mirage 5F Pack
Wrench posted a topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - File Announcements
View File SF2 TMF Mirage 5F Pack SF2 TMF Mirage 5F Pack 5/22/2024 Updated 5/24/24, v2.0 -For SF2, Any and All-(Full 5 Merged Suggested) This is a NEW aircraft, based on an pre-existing TMF aircraft LOD, used to (re)create the Mirage 5F fighter-bomber as used by the French Air Force. To let you all know, no "official" 5F was ever created and relased by TMF. So, consider this an "un-official" version <gr>! This mod is set up and labeled to cause NO conflicts with the Mirage 5F available from within the game (Third Wire) or any others that may exist. Skins remain in their original bmp format. Most markings are decals, with the exception of the AdA Rudder tri-color bands on the NMF skin. Decal Randomization is TRUE. All necessary items are provided, serial number decals, weapons, pilots, seats, sounds, effects, and so forth. Some, you've probably got already. If I missed any, PLEASE let me know and I'll get it fixed. The canopy operates with the Standard Animations Keystroke (tm), Shift/0 (zero) The aircraft is supplied with 2 skins for EC 3/13 Auvergne: NMF (start date=1) Euro Camo (<1975) As indicated, the SF2 "date switch" is active. When in-game, on the Aircraft Selection Drop down you'll see: Mirage 5F (TMF) So you can't mistake it for anything other than TMF Birds (tm). This will also diferentiate THIS one from the 3W 5F that's stock in game, but is AI only. On that note, the supplied cockpit (by BPAO & Crusader) was originally designed for use with the 3W AI Mirage 5F in 2017. For those wishing to do so, I've supplied the needed inis, and the instructional read-me. They are in a folder within the main aircraft folder. Ya can't miss it! <gr>. As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them. All original readmes, when discoverable, are included. The 'Change Log' is, as always, in the Notes section below. Good Hunting & Happy Landings!

that's not the mod folder, that's the CORE install. Look under your saved games folder. Note the pathway in my image I posted above. (on a side note, interesting to see the panes shifted to the right. never seen a comp in Hebrew before; which I can't even read anymore!) -

somebody asks that question about once a year, since the game came out in 2003. Short answer is no. Long answer, not worth the time and effort to attempt. -
