Namibia terrain?
Wrench replied to Stratos's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
no tile set really exists that can duplicate that region ... although combinining GH3 with polak's desert tiles (suitably color adjusted for more greenage) might be usable. Though IsraelME -- might be closer, if it werent for the fact that every tile is rotated 45 degs off the normal N/S axis (which plays hell on trying to locate target items. Try fitting railroads that must run E/W or N/S or bridges across the too-small rivers.) Sounds like a good project for ya ... should get started on that right away!! (and before it's said "don't know how to use the Terrain Editor" ... NONE of us did when we first started.) -
Asking for advices about adding chaff/flares ejector
Wrench replied to Cliff7600's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mods/Skinning Discussion
should be a SideArm in the old BunnyPak as for dispensers, have you looked at the F-104S and/or S-ASA-M mods available??? Zipper seems a poor choice for WW -- short legs and not (quite) enough ordanance. btw, a lot of the KLU Gs had ECM boxes added late in their service life. -

That would make sense, as you're pushing the chamber pressures up. notice on the Mustang, there's a manifold pressure line, too. Wonder what the differences are between in-lines and radials (R-2800s to be specific!) -

also just noticed we're still missing the Mustang drop tanks ... there's the nodes called out, and fueltanktupe= in the data ini, they'e listed in the loadout ini, exist (the parts; bmp, ini) in objectdata001cat, and is listed in the weaponsdata ini. but a no-show on the bird using the old (and I do mean old!) ones, with the node commented out, makes them unjettisonable the WEP is COOL feature!! -
Skin StartDate
Wrench replied to pablo10692's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
It sure does work... Look at my OzMirages ... the NM skins start, and then switch to the camo example: 75 Squadron, NM: [TextureSet] Name=75 Sqdn (Silver) Nation=Australia Squadron=76 Squadron StartDefaultDate=1964 Specular=1.000000 Glossiness=0.500000 Reflection=0.600000 75 Squadron, Gray/Green camo: [TextureSet] Name=75 Sqdn Camo Nation=Australia Squadron=75 Squadron StartDefaultDate=1970 Specular=0.400000 Glossiness=0.400000 Reflection=0.000000 you pick 1969 to fly in, you get NM. YOu pick 1970, it's camo works a charm, as they say -

G4M2 tail and crew model
Wrench replied to Ice Man's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Prop Heads Forum
There's never been ANY other crew figures in either Betty (the 2 or 3) since its original release in 2004 .. no waist, topturret or tail gunner, no bombadier or navigator aft of the pilots. The 'figure' (ie: lod) for the tail gunner would have to have been built facing aft, like the USGunner or LuftGunner figures. Or, built into the aircrft lod itself. the issues with the physical placement (or pointing in this case) of the tail gun may be able to be tweeked with data ini edits to to the tailgunner station have it point more aft (but it sure as hell shoots correctly!) I screwed around with that for a long time on the G4M3 mod, before giving up. My personal opinion is, it's an issue internal to the lod. And without ArmorDave and Max files .... well..... btw, G4M2s didn't have waist or nose guns ... those came on the G4M3 Personally, I wouldn't even bother with it ... it shoots, and hits. -
F-86-F40 Problems
Wrench replied to Moofles's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
have you checked the terrain nations ini??? RCAF, I know for a fact is NOT on the LimitedNations list. RAF is, so the Brits should have no issues with loading things (drop tanks should show up, no matter what). Isn't 56 a bit early for the 9Bs??? Check the weapons data, exportation date wrench kevin stein -
