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 -
Mig 17 question
Wrench replied to Wodin's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
the Fresco-A and C both carry (stock, rightoutofthebox) 2 23mm and 1 37mm. If you're missing the guns, start looking for a /Guns folder, if a weapons pak has been added. They should ALWAYS be using their stock stuff, regardless if a WePak has been added or not. Double check the data inis for both aircraft, and make sure the //Guns----- section is still there otherwise, a reinstall of the game may be necessary. wrench kevin stein -

especially in regards to the 5COA as delivered to Columbia (and not the upgraded versions later on)... As I can't seem to find any real information, webcrawling.. what, if any, type of radar was it equipped with? Something similiar to the Cyrano in the MirageIII, or a ground-mapping only, or what??? (this'll help figure out which cockpit to use) TIA! wrench kevin stein

Problem CAT Extractor
Wrench replied to tor's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
Interesting...considering the A-4B Skyhawk dosen't COME with WoI.... Your other problems are: 1) NEVER EVER install 1stGen 3W games to any of the /Progam Files folders. They are protected in Vista/Win7, and you won't be able to work with ANY files in that zone. Only in XP can you safely install to the /Program Files folders. 2) To fix that, you can just move the entire folder (judging by the path name, Wings Over Israel), UP to the root of the C Drive. The new path/loction would be: C:\Wings Over Israel adjust your shortcut accordingly. 3) Assuming that you're using Skypats' Cat extractor, it also don't work that well in Vista/7 when placed in the /Progarm Files. What you need to do, is create a folder on your Desktop, call it "Cat Extractor", and put all the files from Skypat's Extractor in there. This is the pathway for mine, so your's will be named different: C:\Users\kevin\Desktop\SF-Wo-Extractor Don't forget to set the compatability to Windows 95. From that location, you'll be able to start the extractor, then use it's 'navigation pane' to locate the cat that has the file you want to extract. Extracted files, when pulled what that tool, will 'appear' in the game folder associated with them (ie: things from the /FlightData.cat will be in the /Flight folder; things from the Object.Cat, will be in the /Objects folder. From there you can move them, if for an aircraft, or edit in-place (for anything other than aircraft. BTW, this is all covered someplace in the Knowledge Base; I just don't remember exactly where ATM!! good luck! wrench kevin stein -

India-Pakistan Objects/Weapons/and Other Bits

File Name: India-Pakistan Objects/Weapons/and Other Bits File Submitter: Wrench File Submitted: 26 February 2011 File Category: Ground Object Mods India-Pakistan GroundOjbects/Weapons/Guns/Pilots Pak -For SF2, Full-4 Merged -Reccomended (plus ExpPak1) (Should actually be called "Objects, Other Than Aircraft Pack") This is the Second Part of the India-Pakistan mod. This package =ONLY= contains GroundObjects, Weapons & Guns, Menu Screens. Aircraft will be available as seperate, packaged downloads as soon as we get them together! These weapons and Ground Objects are NOT to be used altogether in a 'everything and anything Merged Install -- it is for a Stand-Alone India-Pakistan Mods folder ONLY!!! Those experienced End Users , will be able to pick and choose the various items necessary, if crazy enough to use these in such an install. There are many (read: MOST) items that have been nationalized to either side. It is NOT reccomended for any use, other than what is it intended for!! You've been warned -- if you mess it up, it's all on YOU!! These items are designed for use with/as a stand-alone India-Pak Mods Folder. Instructions for creating a seperate I/P install are in the Word Doc that comes with this pak, and are covered in the CombatAce SF2 Series Knowledge Base. It is ALSO highly reccomended you READ these 2 documents through before installing this mod. If you don't, you're SURE to run into problems. And then, we'll clown on you. Hard Good Hunting!
