MiG-17AS Fresco, Fuerza Aérea Revolucionara (Cuba)
Wrench replied to Wrench's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - File Announcements
what we also need (read: I do for the Central America map) are the funky green/blue/lightblue skins for their Fishbeds and Floggers, too! A Mig-15bis partial reskin/decal is due out soon, too wrench kevin stein -

oh, gods ... you have NO idea how much I miss that feature from the old Fighter's Anthology map/mission builder screens. Like PB said, you use ONE with the airfield showing, ONE with NOTHING showing, and build new layers from there. Here's a shot of how I do planning maps ....(this is the Indo/Pak planningmap3 template - I do one for each level, triples the work, the but result is nicer) wrench kevin stein -
SfMap, Run-Time error '5'
Wrench replied to FrankD's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
if I have an 'empty' target area, I alway put somthing thing there; usual a watertower1, as it 'holds the reallity of the position', and has a 0 value, as an 'attackable' target. (you'll see that on the Iran/Iraq map) wrench kevin stein -

SfMap, Run-Time error '5'
Wrench replied to FrankD's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
"Show Cities" has never worked. and it will crash/runtime error in all SF2 series; another reason why to keep at least ONE 08 level 1stGen series on your hard drive -- it's how I make all my planning maps (of course, with a billion layer templates built OFF the original, with new dots and better text lables...) Put SFmapexe at the root folder (C:/Wings over Europe, for example) of the install, put the terrain in the /terrain folder and go from there wrench kevin stein -

Yes. Add/edit aircraft data ini... where ** is the next number in sequence... [AircraftData] --snippage-- Component[009]=Nose -- ///===moves to remove things===/// Component[0**]=NameOfItem (note, can also be called "Remove1" -- but must match the 'Name of Item' below) [NameOfItem] ParentComponentName=MeshName ModelNodeName=MeshName DestroyedNodeName=MeshName DetachWhenDestroyed=TRUE HasAeroCoefficients=FALSE pioneered/discoverd by Bpao himself WARNING: don't be surprised if it leaves a hole in the fuselage; it all depends on how that mesh was extruded from the parent (ie: the fuselage) Post a screenshot, if it works (or, even if it dosen't!) wrench kevin stein -

SF2 Screenshot Thread
Wrench replied to Stary's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
deselxic my typing was yesturday. espeically after "The Asshat Incident" that's acutally been discussed, but the whole tileset will need replacing. No, the 17AS was actually brought about by a question from the 1stGen Forums. Thought I'd take a whack on up-converteing. They'll also be needed on the Central America map (where that shot was taken -note the use of your GH3 tiles). The problem is, I left that map so undone over 14 months ago ... trying to pickup where I left off! wrench kevin stein -
F4 Phantom question
Wrench replied to Wodin's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
because when the Hunter was built there weren't any A-A missiles*. Sidewinders were under development starting around 53-54, and didn't reach operations with the USN until sometime around 57-58ish (have to double check. Research=Knowledge. *later model Swiss marks added 'winder capabililty, iirc, in the 70s* wrench kevin stein -
Afghanistan Terrain (Modern -2003 & Later)
Wrench replied to Wrench's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - File Announcements
Don't forget people -- this is Gepard's Terrain; he built it -- I just made some very minor tiling changes, and targets tweeks. All my terrain inis are in ansi -- SF2 don't give a rats ass what format they're in. Of course, you'll have to edit/change/add the stone-age shader effects, and a few other items I removed from the terrain's data ini. As stated in the readme, "modern" is defined as post-2003, and not Soviet Occupied The use of Western/NATO style airbase. So, you'll have to rebuild the target's ini by replacing ALL of them with Soviet-style, like Gepard's WarPac bases. (also, stated in the readme. I don't know why I even bother writing them anymore....) The soviet union canNOT be added as a friendly nation, as it's classed as enemy in the games nations.ini. That don't means you can't fly for them...as we all have flyable RedAir. The (puppet) Afghan AF at the time, would also be enemy, due to it's use of Soviet equipment. And as the Mujha's didn't have an air force ...well, the game needs BOTH sides to be operational, otherwise CTDs may result. then you'll need to add them to the _types.ini, and replace every single one of the Taliwaker AD units with those. Have fun with that! If you'll look through the _targets & types ini I supplied, you'll find there are NO 'standard or garden variety' Soviet AD bases. As to EricJ's newly released targets mod, I cannot speak too, not having d/led it yet. (I'm busy dividing my time between the American Midwest and Central America) My part's done ... you all can pick up where I left off wrench kevin stein -
Player flyable MiG-21s don't have afterburner effects.

F84 add on?
Wrench replied to Wodin's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
'merged install?" (the only merged installs for 1stGens in WoV/WoE) ok....first, lets deciede WHICH game set we're talking about. That'll determine what kind of answer is to be recieved! Is it safe to assume this is for SF2? or for SF/Wo*?? TMF released the 84F about 5+ years ago for SF/Wo*; SF2:I Expansion 1 adds them for the SF2 series wrench kevin edit: while not updated for (quite) a while, this thread will most likely be of some (vairable!) assistance http://combatace.com/topic/21870-the-mods-thread-a-listing-of-whats-available/ -
Finally, ground battles become slightly more challenging
Wrench replied to Stary's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
Thanks for the compliment on I/I!!! The rivers were a nightmare!!! re: guns I did that a long time ago (adding the A-A MG). In fact, one of my very first mods was that one. The only thing about adding "_and_ground" to the main gun, is the tanks will stop engaging their primary (ground) targets, and start shooting at YOU!!! Found that out when we were building DS -an experiment I tried. AFter getting shot down a lot, I discarded the idea as 'baaaaaad' (even lost an A-10 to T-72s!!!) wrench kevin stein -
Mig 17 question
Wrench replied to Wodin's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
might I be so bold to suggest that, Google is you friend. I'd really start researching the individual aircraft, as for to gain knowledge on the various and sundry different sub-variants of the myriad of mods done to Sovet/WarPac aircraft. The only Fresco's that I know of that carried missiles (and not in SEA -although it was reported, but not confirmed) is/was the 17AS used by Cuba, the 17F-(SF-3) with 2 Alkalis, and the PFU (with NO guns) also with Alkalis (semi-all weather interceptor) wrench kevin stein -

Adding Aircraft Carriers/Ships to SF2
Wrench replied to Wilches's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
It was done for 1stGen WoE; shouldn't be any different here (excepting running into the same problem -- not enough 'sea room' on the GermanyCE map.) For expansion pak 1, the Suez War mod we did, the carriers are there. new target areas (ie: CarrierStation=TRUE) must be added to the _targets.ini. Same as it's always been wrench kevin stein
