  1. in 1stGens, the decals were working, as I'd done all the nameplates and hull numbers for the Daring DDs. They stopped working (well, for me -- might have to recheck the decals ini) TKs' carriers (CVA63) seem to have working hull numbers. At least, as I recall. I'd say it's a damn fine looking ship! For something less 'cruvy/faceted', we could use some auxiliries ... APAs, AKs, etc (and lots more early destroyers/cruisers!) keep up the work!! wrench kevin stein
  2. that means the mirrored faces of the meshes are not perfectly aligned ... you'll find many occurances of this on older models. 06 level games (and eariler) were a bit more forgiving, methinks wrench kevin stein
  3. umm...how do you think we've been doing it all this time, with Gerwins??
  4. is it just me, or is there something wrong with the wing insignia??? Decal mis-sized?? Also, where's the readme on "how to install"? (not like it's that hard, but ah, well, some folks like to have it) Please review this post: http://combatace.com/topic/60088-a-reminder-before-you-upload-a-mod/ wrench kevin stein
  5. Dassault Mirage IIIO, RAAF

    Version

    Dassault Mirage IIIO, RAAF For SF2, Full-4 Merged -or, at MINIMUM!- SF2:E and/or SF2:I *Note: it should be stipulated at this time, that this aircraft mod is being released as a "stand in" until the proper 3 versions are completed and released by The Mirage Factory. At such time, my reccomendation is to delete this mod, as the TMF versions will be the correct 'body type' for F, A and F/A III0s as used by the RAAF* This mod creates a 'stand alone' aircraft, using all in-house/in-game stock bits, to recreate some of the Mirage IIIO (F/A) used by the RAAF. This makes this mod slightly historically innaccurate, as mentioned above, there were 3 versions. This sorta kinda combines them. You MUST have, at the least, SF2:E to access the MirageIIIC lods, and SF2:I to access the Shahak's cockpit. Therefore, this mod is truely, ONLY reccomended for a Full-4 Merged install, as the Game Engine will have full access to all the bits needed from the all the Object cats. The 5 Skins are included with the pak are: 75 Squadron, in Natural Metal in the 1960s (called 75SqdnOld) 76 Squadron, also in NM for the 1960s (called 76SqdnOld) 3 Squadron, in gray/green camo for post-1970 usage * 75 Squadron, also in G/G Camo 77 Squadron, also in G/G camo (3 Sqdn not shown in screenie) *note: squadron badge decal is active, when in Real Life ™ it was not,according to what little photographic evidence I could discover. A simple edit of the decals ini will remove it for the Historically Correct practicioner.* As all markings are decals, it should be a simple matter for other skinners to create other squadrons by simply shifting decals around (Example: a NM 3 Squadron). All new, 100% historically accurate* serial number decals have been created for all aircraft. Data ini edits change (essentially) nothing, but nationalizing the aircraft to Australia, and adding landing lights. A new userlist is incuded . The canopy is activated via an animation key; use shift/0 to open and close it. Avionics mods add an audio-only RWR, and the Ground Mapping radar seen on the "A" variant, which was added to all at various times, creating the Mirage IIIO F/A. It's active on ALL, so just pretend. Loadouts are standard 3rdWire. No weapons pak is needed, and it should work with any/all/or none (ie: stock weapons) *My research has shown that pretty much ALL the 116 III0s served with pretty much ALL RAAF Mirage squadrons at one time or another. So, don't be surprised to see some serials duplicated.* 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. Good Hunting! Wrench kevin stein NOTE: this pack became moot with the release of the Oz Mirage DLC package. However, this one WILL still work, some a little renaming edit to remove conflicting names, and/or these decals can EASILY be used on the DLC Mirage IIIO
  6. why would you even be messing with it? You'd only need to if adding a new nation, like I had to do with Panama. the reasons for some of the years is, some nations didn't exist until after the collapse of the Soviet Union, some have insigina decal changes (Egypt & Syria, fer instance), and so forth
  7. have you adjusted the rolling radius and the shock spring and damping?? (btw, this is a MAJOR issue on just about all 1stGens built prior to 06, and many built later) wrench kevin stein
  8. Happy Birthday Zurawski!

    woot woot de-woot!!! Many Happy Returns to The Great and Powerful Zur!! wrench kevin stein
  9. remove mesh trick only works on aircraft, not ships or weapons unfortunately. like WK said, there is an M60 in the old BunyPak that might work wrench kevin stein
  10. it's the same procedure for all patching (which is, YES, covered in the KB in 'patching made easy part2' post) ... if you have pulled any ini (data, avionice, loadout, etc) or tweeked them in any way, and do NOT back up ALL the mods folders, they WILL be overwritten by the new stuff. This means that any AI made flyable, will have to be done all over again if you apply the patch to your pre-existing mods folder Hence, the need to back up (ie: just rename them x*nameofmodfolder*), create the new exe copies, run each and every one, thereby creating NEW mods folders -- don't forget to start each and every game install and start a single mission-, they delete the newly created mods folders, and rename the backed up ones back to their original names. I've got 10 I have to deal with ... and, as already mentioned somewhere, Gerwin's cat extractor NO LONGER WORKS ... so we're waiting for TKs. I'm hopeing it's like the old one, and lets us pulll single files, unstead of unpacking the cursed thing!!! wrench kevin stein
  11. yup, TK said it should be out sometime next week. also, it appears that any mod that has a user-created cat is now non-functional as well. You'll probably have to extract all the bits, and place them in their proper folders (which, no doubt, will need to be created) wrench kevin stein
  12. somebody explain the "more Brit love" statement above??? more details on the changes would be helpfull....I hate patching; even someting (relatively) esay as SF2. Too many damn instlls...
  13. transfer the files by hand, allow for any overwrites wrench kevin stein

    Ok...we're gonna try this one more time.... Dassault Mirage5COA, Fuerza Aérea Colombiana = For SF2, (Full-4 Merged Installs, at minimum, SF2:E & SF2:I) = As stated, this pak will =only= work with a Full-4 Merged install, as it makes use of the Mirage5F lod from SF2:E, and the Nesher cockpit from SF2:I. Obvioulsly, if you have both of these, it'll work (ie: Full-4 merged is best!). This mod represents Mirage 5(COA) aircraft from the Colombian Air Force, with historically accurate serial numbers. All loadouts use 100% stock, in-game items. The canopy has been activated via a manual animation key; use Shift/0 to open and close it. The data and userlist inis have been set to a 'single nation use only' type. Landing lights have also been added, for those pesky night flights. An SF2 style hangar screen is also included. As always, easy to folllow install instructions are included; so read and follow them! Let's hope THIS time, it uploads and downloads for everyone! Happy Landings! Wrench Kevin Stein
  15. while testing missiles/avionics tweek, this was just TOOOOO nice a shot to pass up wrench kevin stein

  20. and a Happy Birthday to Amokfloo

    I'm drinking mine...(and yours ... and I don't EVEN drink!) Happy Birthday Florian!! wrench kevin stein
  21. I wouldn't worry about the twit that gigged you. That's CombatAce's very own troll, rhuzyo. He keeps coming back, we keep banning him. It's sort of a game, since we don't really have a way to block the whole state of Nebraska; and he keeps spooffing using various and sundry proxy server thingys. One day he might actually grow up, move out of his mothers storm cellar, and become an actual, functioning human being. Or, they'll just up the meds
  22. as seen in the screenie below, how do I get them OUT farther away from the aircraft (more forward) I can't rmemeber WHICH of the numbers to tweek these are the data ini entries: [LandingLightLeft] SystemType=LIGHT Position=-3.60,-0.8,-0.80 LightSrcOffset=0.0,6.0,-0.2 Color=0.66,0.66,0.6 Brightness=0.02 LightSrcRange=150 LightRange=45.0 CanFlash=FALSE IsLandingLight=TRUE [LandingLightRight] SystemType=LIGHT Position=3.70,-0.8,-0.80 LightSrcOffset=0.0,6.0,-0.2 Color=0.66,0.66,0.6 Brightness=0.02 LightSrcRange=150 LightRange=45.0 CanFlash=FALSE IsLandingLight=TRUE I know it's either the LightSrcRange or the Light RAnge, but can't remember which!! TIA!! wrench kevin stein
  23. that's because the OTC setup predates the 08 patch, and won't properly work it in. Without a complete rebuild....well, you get the picture wrench kevin stein
