SAM distribution - Not balanced
Wrench replied to Fuza's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
Perhaps, instead of posting such demands here, you should address them directly to TK, at the 3rd Wire site? Where I'm sure they'll be given the consideration they're due. -
Patch December 2010-C is out!
Wrench replied to EricJ's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
that's the 'shadow displacement issue' that only shows on Unlimted (been doing it since 12/09? 2/10?? whichever!). Drop it down to HIGH, and it'll go away. wrench kevin stein -

Unlimited also gives you all the game-generated parked aircraft, whereas anthying lower may not, or much sparser populating, regardless of PrakingChance= in airfield data inis wrench kevin stein -
backup question and clarification
Wrench replied to a topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
could you clarify the question? Are you planning to archive this elswhere (ie: external HD?) or just 'backing up to patch'??? If archiving, just zip the entire Mods folder, and move it to where you want it. If planning to patch, simploy rename the Mods folder (ie: xNatoFighter4), run the patch exe, run the NF4 exe, delete newly created Mods folder, rename original --BUT CHECK ALL DATA INIS, AS THE NEWLY PATCHED CATS WILL MOST LIKELY HAVE SMALL, BUT SIGNIFICANT CHANGES btw, those instructions should be coverd in the KB wrench kevin stein -

stop picking up hitchhikers???? wrench kevin stein -
Kill marks questions?
Wrench replied to umm's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
remember what I said before about using the correct terminology? you don't add them to the decals folder, if using stock one. You add the lines to the aircraft's decals.ini. Just like what you're showing in your post. HOWEVER... if you add another style of killmark, THOSE would go into a seperate folder IN the decals folder wrench kevin stein -
Beaufighter Mk1 - Battle of Britain skin
Wrench replied to Ice Man's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Prop Heads Forum
I think the most important thing would be having templetes, eh?? Since they arent' available, and the existing skins use painted on squadron marking .... also the sad fact that not too many people are skinning WW2 mods (what with all the FM issues in 08 level 1stGEns and SF2).... Maybe a request for the skin over at the DAT site is in order??? wrench kevin stein edit: ok, just checked teh "Modlers Datafile: Beaufighter". If you have, or can get this book, I'd suggest starting on page 11 "into service". 3 airplanes at an OCU don't sound like an operation squadron in Sept 1940 to me. There's no mention of their use until AFTER full squadron workups, well after BoB ended -
How to place SAM in terrain of SF1 series
Wrench replied to Fuza's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
Thre is no "TargetType=RECON" listed anywhere in a terrain types ini ... that is a mistake, and if you'd actually LOOK at the several others around, you'll see the correct type listed. I'm done ... -

Difficulty options... what do you use and why?
Wrench replied to malibu43's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
Gerwin's Cat Extractor Utility -- s/b in the 1stGen downloads -works with both; it's only disadvantage is it extracts ALL the files in the cat, so do the extractions in a 'new' folder you create, with the extractor and such in it. the HUDData.ini is located in the FlightData.cat. BTW, there's a whole thread in the KB (1stGen, but ini editing is the SAME no matter what version) about removing the radar and info displays, and removing the background.tga as well wrench kevin stein -

Correct Folder Structure?
Wrench replied to VA27Badger's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
it's the verrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrry old WoVSqmd, a mission builder. With a quick rename of the folder and the exe, it's usable in any and all version of the game, including SF2. Basically, I use for plotting front lines in terrains, and GA/Truck routes for the movements ini. Never learned how to build mission with it though wrench kevin stein -

Persian Gulf Terrain
Wrench replied to Gepard's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mods/Skinning Discussion
I like the fact that the terrain goes all the to the Straits of Hormuz. I'm about half way in retargeting the old Iran/Iraq map (it'll be SF2 only, but those that know how can back-date for 1stGen); fully retiled with almost all the rivers -what a nightmare THAT was! Gepard: what tiles are you using for the salt marshes at the Shatt-al-Arab?? The only issue I can see, is that most of the Iranian airbases will be off the map (there should be, at LEAST 4-5 on yours' -Bandar-e-Bushehr, Bandar Abbas, Shiraz, Omidieyh (sp?), Ahwaz, maybe another. BUT ... my map has Ras Assanya for 'Warbids' !!! Looks Good!! wrench kevin stein -
Request help for the Gun pod
Wrench replied to B-4's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
Didn't they use the GP-9, and not the UPK??? and yes, use the 08 weapons editor; run the 06 weapons data ini through it, and all wil return (coverd in the Knowledge Base, iirc, in the 'Things You Need to Update Thread') wrench kevin stein -
HOOT!! have a great day dude!! wrench kevin stein
