...Underground runways?
Wrench replied to SidDogg's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mods/Skinning Discussion
well, yeah, as they're referenced in the LOD. They don't change, regardless of runway facing. So, your 180/0 runway facing 270 will have the wrong compass headings on the thresholds. Just ignore them; everyone else does! wrench kevin stein -
Iran-Iraq Terrain

Thanks Michael! It was you that inspired me to add the roads (just wish I'd done a better job on the tile conversion/repaint). Can't wait for you to finish the PG terrain! Several ideas have already been discussed for it's usage! (most centering around "First Air") wrench kevin stein -

I'd expect they'd need different tail codes for USAFE???; in that case, I DO have a tail bmp with slimers, if its' needed. wrench kevin stein -

Yak-27R for SF2
Wrench replied to lindr2's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - File Announcements
yeah, it won't even take an 06 level shadow (tested with the IL-28s, renamed --one reson I keep a couple of 06 level extracted cats around!) could also use 'metricifation' of the cockpit ini... wherever it says FEET change to METERS Knots changes to KMPH FPS changes to MPS add this line in the AircraftData section of the data ini: UseMetricUnit=TRUE and if you want to switch to animation key controlled canopies, drop this over the canopy statments (way down near the Engine section (will use Shift/0): [Canopy1] SystemType=ANIMATION InputName=ANIMATION_10 AnimationTime=3.0 AnimationID=9 will control both. wrench kevin stein -

F-4D Phantom II, LORAN Pak -- For FULL-4 Merged SF2 (Prefered) and/or SF2:V -- (it can acutally be used in any SF2 install that has the access to the F-4D_67) This is a repackaging of the MPPD's F-4D Loran equipped Phantom, originally made for WoV, into a stand alone package for the SF2 series. While designed for mostly SF2:V, they can be used (as stated above) in any install that can access the F-4D_67. REMINDER- this is the ORIGINAL Loran pak, not the Night Owl skin pak. All inis, decals and skin bmps are inculded. As it makes use of all stock items, minimal changes have been effected. In fact, the decals themselves have been pared down, due to the fact that I modified 2 of the skins to now have painted-on slimers, thereby reducing the package size. The canopy has been activated via a manual animation key. Use Shift/0 to open/close it. A minor adjustment to the loadout ini has been made, 'upping' the STRIKE bombs to M-117, 750 lb bomb. The SUU-23 gunpod, while probably not used all the time, is carred for all but one mission profile (Long Range), due to the need for the centerline tank. Included is mppd's original F-4D LORAN readme, full of historical details. 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 (read: drag and drop). Again, as usual, the expected "Notes & Ramblings of a Madman" section for fun. Enjoy! Wrench kevin stein -

Help with decals
Wrench replied to amariani's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
do the 2 letter as mulitlpe layers, so you can manipulate them via the free transform (iirc, well at least in PS 6 & 7), you can skew, stretch, rotate, ete, before flattinging and making the decal wrench kevin stein -

remember, folks .. that old campaign will absolutely NOT work with this terrain. there's been far too many changes, and it'll go bannanas on you. so until then, just enjoy single missions. wrench kevin stein -
Trouble w/addon planes in SF2 europe. Crazy security settings.
Wrench replied to MAKO69's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
???huh??? Aren't they already there???? Look in your mods folders, under Objects/Aircraft. I'll be you'll find them. That's what merging is all about. If your run a merged install, REGARDLESS of which exe you're using (SF2.exe, SF2:V.exe, SF2:E.exe, SF2:I.exe), EVERY aircraft, groundoobject and terrain are available for selection from your in-game menus provided they are player flyable aircraft. Obviously, the bombers, transport, and all RedAir ain't. and you'll need Gerwin's extractor to pull the cats apart with. wrench kevin stein -

F4 E Cockpit / Radar Problem ?
Wrench replied to Taterd's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
first question I should have asked (m'bad!).... Is this a STOCK 3rd Wire aircraft, that came with the game, or something you added? If added, there's something "off" in whatever its using for the radar textures. Best thing to do, is just what FC said ... start absolutely fresh, without any addons, and see if the problem persists or returns. wrench kevin stein
