  1. I venture a guess that it would be the SquadronList.ini???
  2. not that I'm aware of. You'll notice the incluson of a _Shadow.SHD, for 06 level games, and that dosen't even work. I suspetct something changed with the 1/11 patch We could always beg and bribe Russo the take a look at the lod ... (since we don't have a smiley for 'money changing hands',) wrench kevin stein
  3. isn't that the same tile set I used for Iran/Iraq???? Hmmm...... must check this out! thanks Stary!! wrench kevin stein
  4. green-ish to my eyes! I think all the glass uses the same tga (but never really looked!) Just pretend it's tinted for sun glare!! looking at some other photos are airliners.net, it looks like teh tag prolly reads as SP-2H xxx where xxx is the modex number (200-218). Easy enough to do. wrench kevin stein
  5. was playing with it a little couple of weeks ago ... flys good to me, but has 'pulling' issues on the ground. Shoudn't be torge related, as the engines cournter-rotate outwards from each other. I think it may be gear related, but couldn't run it down wrench kevin stein
  6. ADF serials site ROCKS!! It's where I got all the ones for the CAC Avon Sabre, and the MirageIIIO (yes, i know the Mirage isn't out yet. Waiting on the TMF guys, for the correct body shape for F and A version, although one based off the stock 3W Mir3 is ready to go) wrench kevin stein
  7. 'fake hooks' work just fine ... we've been using one on the FJ-4M Fury and several others for Loooooooooooooong time! wrench kevin stein
  8. that helps a LOT guys!! looks like the last 4 digits of the BuNum (I HOPE!!) wrench kevin stein
  9. with a Starfighter buzz number??? i call "photoshop"!!!
  10. came that way. I've been scouring all the downloads to find out where I got it from (the lod is dated 4/22/2005. And all my archives; not even a readme with the thing. I think the skin was done by pappychksix, and I'm redoing the decals and a bunch of other stuff (can't get shadow to work, though). Hopefully, it's Russo's Hopefully, uploaded before the weekend. wrench kevin stein
  11. Isn't that what I said above??? The way we fixed it on Monty's, was seperate the pylon meshes from the wing, and reattached them. Which is why the AD/2/3/4 has weapons that move with the wings (as do the lights) and like I said above, ain't likely to happen
  12. and they said I was off my meds??? (i know i'll get slammed, but it DO pretty good!===== ducks, runs and hides) the star is wrong, though ... the side bars are way too long. Us the stock insignia; they're correct in shape wrench kevin stein
  13. Beach, you mean like this.............. wrench kevin stein
  14. no s**t! for american stuff, there's Joe Baugher site, but for foreign (ok, non-american!) 'rotsa ruck charie!' even books like Detal & Scale, Warpaint, etc, sometimes don't have all the listings for a particular bird (but the put you the right course!) wrench kevin stein
  15. don't thank me! thank Tracker and the Argentine Modder Group, they built it! I just fiddled with it!
  16. You won't be sorry!! wrench kevinstein
  17. Glad you like it! you'd just need serial number decals, and edit the decals ini to remove the Tlet and Num decals from the rightupper and leftlower wings, replacing them with the KONMarine roundel. One of the advantages of using decals for markings; allows for easier creation of other squadrons or countries. the SeaplaneGray/White would also be good for early JMSDF Neptunes, too (in case one needs to serch for Godzilla!) wrench kevin stein

  18. Version

    531 downloads

    P-2H "Neptune" Skins/Decals and Ini Update Pak -- For SF2, Any & All -- This is a mod of the original P-2H (P2V-7) released by Tracker and the Argentine Modders Group, incorporating some tweeks perfomred by ChampionsVA56 You do NOT need to original download, but if you want the COAN skins, you'll need it to add them. All inis, lods, etc, and 3 new skin and decal sets are provided. The inis have been 'adjusted' back to original USN state, with a completely new UserList.ini, descripting the different countries that used this late-model Neptune. (NOTE: RAF is not listed, as they used only earlier models, with the gun turrets. Hopefully, I also got the users & years farily close, too) Skins included in this set are: VP-18 "Flying Phantoms", NAS Jacksonville as seen during the Cuban Missile Crisis VP-65 "Tridents", NAS Point Magu, in the mid/late 1960s through the 1970s VP-69 "Totems", NAS Whidbey Island, in the 1970s * (* revamped version of pappychksix's, now with decals) All new decals are included, many with historically matching BuNums-to-Modex numbers (wherever possible, and the information was discoverable). The Basic Skins ™ for the USN Gull Gray/White and Seaplane Gray and White, can be used for many other countries, simply by creating new skin folders, copying the relevant files, and creating new textureset and decals inis that reference the proper markings and nationality. A new weapon is included; the Mk.44 lightweight torpedo (note: it needs a new lod, as it's using the Mk.13 which is too long, but it works just fine!!). Loadouts have been corrected, with some reengineering of mounting points. Not perfect, but very workable. Other ini edits use Champ's landing gear & light fix, and I've replaced the pilot figures with the stock 'Prop_Pilot' with the baseball cap. The engine sound has also been replaced, and supplied. It's not what I consider a perfect match, but it's seems what should be farily close. As always, =READ= the enclosed readme for full, detailed instructions. This package has been broken down into the various folders that SF2 needs, to make it a LOT easier to install. Warning Note: If installing fresh, do not use the original download;s inis, use these =ONLY=!!! If/when installing the COAN skins, use =ONLY= the skins, and nothing else!! You will mess things up severly, and have to start completly over. Happy Landings! Wrench kevin stein

  20. search function not working, I guess.... http://combatace.com/topic/44621-adding-objects-to-your-target-areas/

  23. Happy birthday Silverbolt!

    Wrench replied to Nesher's topic in The Pub

    HOOT!!! happy birthday dude! wrench kevin stein
  24. see my eariler response about static ships (around here somewheres...). It's the same thing, using the same procedures wrench kevin stein
  25. They install, basically, just like 1st Gens. For this exercise, we'll assume a standard 1stGen aircraft, with the /D decals sub-folder within the skin folder (more on that later...) Locate the "mods folder" (for our example, we'll just use my SF2 install, yours will have a different name, and mine is Winge7) C:\Users\kevin\Saved Games\ThirdWire\StrikeFighters2 open that, locate the /Objects/Aircraft folder Drop the aircraft directly INTO the /Aircraft folder. Now, it gets a little more tricky, if one wants the decals to appear without a buttload of rigamarole... In the /Objects/Decals folder, ALSO copy/paste the entire aircraft directly into it Then open the aircraft folder (it's copy in the /Decals folder) and delete everything but the skin folder-that means all the lods, inis, etc. (shoud look like image 1 below) Then, opean EACH skin folder and delete everything EXCEPT the /D subfolder. It should look like image 2 below. what this method does, is prevent the end user from having to re-write the decals ini, and is far, far simplier and more effective. and that's basically it. there is some fine tuning needed sometimes (usually NOT to skins/decals), but thats for another day wrench kevin stein
