Desert Taxi

Bf-108 "Taufin" (used in many movies as 'standins' for 109 -- these went after Indy & and his father in "Last Crusade", were used in Von Ryans Express, and countless others, like The Great Escape and 633 Squadron. Yes, I know my 'movie planes') wrench kevin stein -

Thirdwire F-84F Rework
Wrench replied to Soulfreak's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
EXCELLENT!! yes, it'd be the same for all the squadrons in the Wing. Sort of a 'standard of markings' for USAF in the 50s. Fer Example: 100th TFW has 3 squadron (which is usual), 1st, 2nd, 3rd. Each as it's own color, lets just use the 'standards" (ie: RGB ) 1 = red 2 = green 3 = blue W/C's aircraft would have the 3 stipes, one of each color (now, what I"m NOT sure is the order -- meaning, is top red?) S/C of 1st would have a double red, 2nd, double green, 3rd, double blue I'd read somwhere .. and can't seem to find it, that sometimes the Flight Commanders would have a single stripe of the squadron color ... but I wouldn't worry about that. The 'general population' aircraft would have no stripe, but the regular colors on the nose & tail. I'd run into the very same (non)issue when I was doing up all those F-89 skins; which is where I learned of the color stripe combos. Found decals were the way to go at level=2 (if there were enough meshes to allow them, of course) this bird is looking REAL good! TK is gonna be jealous!! wrench kevin stein -
Thirdwire F-84F Rework
Wrench replied to Soulfreak's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
remember, ONLY the wing commander would have all 3 stripes on his aircraft. The squadron commander's would have 2 stripes, in the squadron color (like the AdA tail colors) wrench kevin stein -

A request for the gound object guys
Wrench replied to daddyairplanes's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
veltro once showed off a MikkyDs ... that I was just dying to add!! Of course, there's the "hot dog stand" that does double/tripple duty on several terrains, and the one building I did up as "Deuce's Bar & Grill" on DBS. (the hotdog stand reappears on the mid-west terrain as "St.Louie Ray's BBQ Shack" -right next to the MWRs!) Most definately, a myirad of new ground objects are needed by us TerrainEngineers; from simple buildings to vehicles and all sorts of sundry items. (come to think of it, one could modd the SovietCommandVehicle, as it's nice an boxy, into a 'mobile canteen' -- I turned it into an ambulance for WW2 and Korea -suitably reskinned with a Red Cross) wrench kevin stein -

Downloaded SF2:Vietnam but can't add plane mods!
Wrench replied to ShogunOrta's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
It's also HIGHLY reccomended that a new user NOT start adding mods until they get familiar with the game system itself; how the file and folder structures are set up, how things work in a complete 'stock', unmodded game, etc and so forth. Otherwise, we just keep answering the same things over and over and over again, that are already covered in BOTH Knowledge Bases (and a LOT of data in the Original Series (SF/SFG/WoV/WoE/WoI) is 99.999999999999% usable in the SF2 series. My advice; read BOTH Knowledge Bases, get intimately familiar with the system, and after a couple of months, start adding mods. This way, seems to work the best wrench kevin stein -

SF2: Modern Warfare Korea V1.03 Part1
Wrench replied to Spectre8750's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - File Announcements
There are not just 1, but 2 upgrades for Gepards Formosa for SF2, in just targeting alone ... Stary's done a very cool retile set. Like most terrains, it's self-contained; the airfield supplied work just fine. Are there still some 'tsunami' issues at the sea/land interface on the island of Taiwan? Sure, in a few places where nobody would go. But overall, it's just fine. (could stand some more targeting, like factories, and increased detials to cities and other military installations...but that's not a real issue) One should check out what's available before making blanket statements that don't apply to NextGen terrains & other mods. wrench kevin stein -

Making a AAA gun NOT fire
Wrench replied to ChampionsVA56's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
That would have been my suggestion .. no ammo, no shooty! umm...KS-19s are STATIC_AAA. they're fixed emplacments Also, if stayng as a standard GroundObject, you might want to change the NationName= to Range (if using JSF_Aggie's nations ini), exported=FALSE (so it won't show anywhere else. This assumes, of course, a NEW GO, specific ONLY to the RANGE, and NOT for use on all other terrains (cause the game engine WILL place them on regular maps) or.... drop the lods, inis, skin bmps DIRECTLY into the terrain folder, list it in the types ini as (F is for FAKE) [TargetType***] Name=KS19F FullName=KS-19 100mm AA TargetType=STATIC_AAA ActiveYear=0 TargetValue=50 UseGroundObject=FALSE RepairRate=0.555 StartDetectChance=0 StartIdentifiedChance=0 IncreaseDetectChanceKey=0 MaxVisibleDist=8000.0 DestroyedEffect=SmallRocketGroundExplosion DestroyedModel=sa-2_launcher_destroyed.LOD SecondaryEffect=VehicleFireEffect SecondaryChance=100 then place as anyother Terrai Object wrench kevin stein -

Wrench replied to ludo.m54's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
intake_door_R intake_door_L intake_door_edge_L intake_door_edge_R maybe? (bypass air vent doors or whatever?) those are all I could find that might be related to (something) not associated with the landing gears. They don't seem listed in the data ini at all (as anything contoled, let alone automatic_aerodynamic_load or whatvever) on a side note, the r/l spoilers are called out in the data in (as roll_control devices w the ailerons), but there's no meshes for them. wrench kevin stein (with thanks to Champ for lighting bulb over my head -those hints pointed the way, me hopes) -

Destroying a Runway
Wrench replied to ChampionsVA56's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
ah, yes the famous beached cargo ship.... I thought that was a nice touch when I added it. I almost added a shipping route, so it would sail in circles around the inner target area. I still can, if anyone wants me to... wrench kevin stein -
