  1. Beach, you mean like this.............. wrench kevin stein
  2. 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
  3. don't thank me! thank Tracker and the Argentine Modder Group, they built it! I just fiddled with it!
  4. You won't be sorry!! wrench kevinstein
  5. 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

    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

  8. search function not working, I guess.... http://combatace.com/topic/44621-adding-objects-to-your-target-areas/
  9. nothing. it's just eye candy

  10. I don't believe this

    Wrench replied to Fubar512's topic in Military and General Aviation

    beg to differ ... Nellis in just outside Las Vegas (been there, done that!) wrench kevin stein

  11. Happy birthday Silverbolt!

    Wrench replied to Nesher's topic in The Pub

    HOOT!!! happy birthday dude! wrench kevin stein
  12. see my eariler response about static ships (around here somewheres...). It's the same thing, using the same procedures wrench kevin stein
  13. 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
  14. Somebody's NOT happy we're flying over their house... wrench kevin stein
  15. was experimentating with that the other day, but was only partly successful. Removed ONE wing bulge, and none of the cannon barrels (trying to make a Mk.1) These are the statements; there may be other mesh/node names I'm mising, so break out the UNICODE compatible hex editor to read the LOD: (add to the AircraftData section) //moves to remove cannon barrels// Component[011]=Move1 Component[012]=Move2 Component[013]=Move3 Component[014]=Move4 [Move1] ParentComponentName=fuselage ModelNodeName=20mm_barrel_R DestroyedNodeName=20mm_barrel_R DetachWhenDestroyed=TRUE HasAeroCoefficients=FALSE [Move2] ParentComponentName=fuselage ModelNodeName=20mm_barrel_L DestroyedNodeName=20mm_barrel_L DetachWhenDestroyed=TRUE HasAeroCoefficients=FALSE [Move3] ParentComponentName=fuselage ModelNodeName=cannon_bump_R DestroyedNodeName=cannon_bump_R DetachWhenDestroyed=TRUE HasAeroCoefficients=FALSE [Move4] ParentComponentName=fuselage ModelNodeName=cannon_bump_L DestroyedNodeName=cannon_bump_L DetachWhenDestroyed=TRUE HasAeroCoefficients=FALSE wrench kevin stein
  16. oh, you this one: http://youtu.be/oJ3oQMLMBnk
  17. I take it you haven't seen my A-1H & J upgrade paks for the stock Skyraiders?? From the readme: I know WHAT to do, and HOW to do, I just don't WANT to do it!! Actaully, rethinking to what we had to do with Monty's for KAW, using BOTH the RotatingPylon and MovingPylon statement, still left the weapons behind, until we cut the plyon meshes from wing, and rebuilding the attachment point setting from scratch (and duplicating them, as well) Don't think that TK gonna wanna spend the extra time and money for piece of eye candy like this, that truely serves no purpose wrench kevin stein
  18. yes, we'd need s**t-loads of seaweed tiles, plus lots of decaying sailing ships (one of which is fake, and has an elevator tube to an "enemy submarine", with a laser gun on top (with the dudes seen below -sorry for the small size) or s shown in this historical record http://youtu.be/o8uF_Hsef2Q wrench kevin stein btw, the OTC Cuba/Flordia map covers the entire Triangle region already
  19. add them as a specific target area, with a ActiveDate= and InactiveDate= maybe??? [TargetArea184] Name=Beach Red Position=276000,590858 Radius=1000 ActiveDate=11/01/1962 <-- InactiveDate=01/31/1963 <-- Location=2 Alignment=Friendly Target[001].Type=USFlag Target[001].Offset=0,0 Target[001].Heading=0 Try it, and see if it works! having a similiar issue in cuba the the para drop zones and landing beaches wrench kevin stein
  20. AFAIK, and hope a Campaign Guru corrects me, the SAMs are set in the terrain _Types.ini; either as seperate battery-style target areas, or said batteries built into existing targets areas. So, if more are needed, the desert_targets.ini would need their addition. As they've been before (look at the VNSEA, and GermanyCE_targets ini), and you'll see the sams and various search and track radars built in wrench
  21. fire the helmsmen??? looks like a shipping route needs re-routing! (oh man, been there done that!) Or it's Elric and the other incarnations of the Imortal Heros in the Ship(s) That Sail Over Land and Sea?? wrench kevin stein
  22. mine work (from Gunny's Pak). Try those. I also have some working para-flares with long hang times for those pesky night interdiction missions over Korea/Early VN wrench kevin stein
  23. I've never tried whole dates, just years. Say, a 39-40, then 40-41. Roundels/other markings as decal are an easy edit (to leave off!) wrench kevin stein *tried the black/NM or white skin on the DAT Hurris and Spits, but due to mapping the Hurri's radiator will either be all black or all white (a decal can fake it, though). Same with the spits Have a semi/partly completes 1sqd AASF skin for the Phony War I never finished...
  24. !! did I ever apoligize for putting that SAM battery in your backyard, on the SoCal map??? wrench kevin stein
  25. SF2 really is the way to go... so many improvements... You don't have to worry about relearning everything for SF2, it's basically the same. The differences are the core files are located in the protected regions of the HD, and all the 'goodies' (aka 'the mods folder') are in the MyDocuments (xp) or SavedGames (vista/win7) The formats of the folders are the same, expect for one major exception ... decals now MUST be in the /Objects/Decals folder. SOme minor moving of folders/files is necessary (and then deletion of unneeded stuff in said skin folders), but it's easy Good to see you back again! wrench kevin stein
