Help with WW II planes
Wrench replied to agwolf's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
And.... there's a WHOLE PropHeads Forum just below, with many informative stickies worth reading to answer the quick question --- WoE, at the 06 patch level. Because with the 08 level and SF2, the flight models for 99.9% for them get pretty badly hosed. For Vista/Win7 users, the 06 level brings it own set of issues; mostly with terrains and their associated effects shaders. They must be 'turned off' via a simple text edit of EACH terrain's data ini. wrench kevin stein -

Help needed with Korean Air War Mod
Wrench replied to dbmsts's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mods/Skinning Discussion
menu layouts are completely different between SF and WoV. That mod was designed for SF, as it really does need the desert cat. Or, if you HAVE SF, extract the menuscreen inis, put them in the /Menu folder, and that might work. No need to rename cats and folders --- use the catpointer line edit in the korea terrains main ini -- cant remember the link right off, but it's in the Knowldege Base, in several places. I should know, I wrote it! buny's pak WILL work, if you run it through the 08 level weapons editor (covered in agonizing detail in the Knowledge Base) that entire mod is exceptionally old, and really not designed for use with 08 level game installs. You -WILL- experience some "oddities" with aircraft flight models. Be advised! A completly now, improved, and totally beyond belief version is under construction for SF2. The terrain alone will be worth the download, if I do say so myself. wrench kevin stein -

AAAArrggh! Who wants to reskin the Netz?
Wrench replied to Wrench's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
oh, YES indeed!!! That suits just fine Sony!! Is the FM up to SF2 settings? I'm with Ghost on this ... be great to have two TMF products going at each other! wrench kevin stein edit: this is what I was using, Migbuster's USAF skin, not fully adapted for PAF usage. Maybe he's got a template? Either way is good for me! Using the TMF one makes sure folks that don't have SF2I (full-4 merged) get their Falcons! --scratch that ... I take the TMF one! W -

groundobject.dll fault means you missing a ground object, that being called for via the types and targets ini (usually!) check the cat pointer lines, and cross check the listed GroundObjects (tanks, ships, ects and so forths) in the types ini against the GO folder. wrench kevin stein -

Panavia Tornado templates
Wrench replied to amariani's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
or, do as most other do ... create them yourself. It's not all that hard, it's just time consuming. blow up the skin bmps to 2048, create new layers each for panel lines, rivets, staining, wear-and-tear, etc and so forth, and start drawing them in. I'd also reccomend reading the skinning tutorials over at SimmersPaintShop .com ... they got some GREAT ones wrench kevin stein -
