SF2 Screenshot Thread
Wrench replied to Stary's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
so, what would you call that? BlenHarrier??? wrench kevin stein (looks like a WW2 terrain that somebody either forgot to remove the callouts for parked statics, or double listed parking slots in the airfield ini) -
America Southwest (Texas/Mexico) for SF2
Wrench posted a topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - File Announcements
File Name: America Southwest (Texas/Mexico) for SF2 File Submitter: Wrench File Submitted: 04 September 2010 File Category: Full Terrains America SouthWest Terrain Updates, Fixes and Clean-Up For SF2 Series (Full-4 Merged Perfered) What started out as a simple "straighten out some tiles and fix some target areas", turned into a massive revamp.... Like the original, it takes place in the post-WW3-ish world of the North American Alliance vs the Global Sedition. It is desigened for use any time period post-1950 through the present day (ala The Wingman series, or the TV series 'Jericho' or any of a number of post-apocalyptic movies, books or whathaveyous) This is the FULL terrain, with some major changes updates, upgrades, etc. The targets, movements, data, types inis have all been expanded extensively. Massive retiling of a majority of the terrain will, hopefully, make it look a bit more like it's Real World counterpart. Place names match the Real World; some however may be slightly displaced due to how terrains are built. This is designed to REPLACE the original (and it's updates) in it's entirety, and is designed =ONLY= for use in SF2, preferably with a Full-4 Merged Install. This terrain makes use of the Desert cat to "pull" items from. It may work with the Germany or Vietnam, but this has NOT been tested. It will NOT work with the SF2:I Isreal cat. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO USE THE ISREALME CAT WITH THIS TERRAIN!!!The inis have been excessivly edited for use ONLY in the SF2 series. With Expert Level Knowledge on terrains/terrain ini editing, it =may= be possible to back-date/adjust for use in 1stGens. This has NOT been tested, and is NOT reccomended. Those that try, can expect 0, zilch, nada, =no= support from me on this issue. You're on your own -you have been warned. Also added were many new tiles, updating/repainting of some other tiles (to make them fit and look better), and many new, custom TODs for buildings and trees and such. New planning maps have been generated as well. I'm trying out something 'new' on the symbols and labels, I hope you like it. And, just for fun, I've included a variety of missions flown over this map. Remember, these are for a Full-4 Merged install, so those that are not merged, may not have all the aircraft available. It goes without saying, that those flown from the Red Side, you MUST have flyable MiGs in your install. They have been editated to make sure all aircraft are stock in a Full-4 Merged. You will also be making some 'adjustments' to the FlightEngine.ini, with regards to expanding the map borders. This will eliminate certain 'issues' when flying near the map edges. Full, detailed instructions are below, in the "To Adjust Borders" section. It is ALSO highly reccomended you READ this entire document through before installing this mod. If you don't, you're SURE to run into problems. And then, we'll clown on you. HARD, and mercilessly. As always, unzip this archive to a temp folder or you desktop to gain access to the full readme, and the files herein. Again, as always, there's a "Notes & Other Nonesense" section with explainations and other ramblings. Good Hunting! Wrench Kevin Stein Click here to download this file -

Wrench replied to Wrench's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - File Announcements
Have you NOT looked in the downloads section????? There's a full 4-season set, most likely in the SF1 downloads section of Terrains. Been there for quite a while .... To even save you the trouble of trying to look for it, here's the terrain: http://combatace.com/files/file/7615-american-north-west-4-seasons-rebuild/ and here's instructions on converting to SF2: http://combatace.com/topic/54856-converting-sfwo-terrains-to-sf2-usage/ wrench kevin stein -

FakePilot vs Pilot
Wrench replied to RAVEN's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mods/Skinning Discussion
because the 'fake pilot' is only 1 pixel in width/height/lenght, and uses a completly transparent skin, thereby rendering is invisible. The 'seat' he/she/it/they uses are the components added (ecm humps on Scooters, canards, plyons on the F-79, etc) wrench kevin stein -

Central America Terrain?
Wrench replied to kanalrat's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mission/Campaign Building Discussion
it's about 80% done (ie: all tiling is complete) just need to 'fill in the blanks' targetization for all the various and sundry countries/cites/ports/etc. Movement ini, of course, still needs doing. The front line is a nightmare to comtemplate on how to get it to follow country borders. Maybe early next year, depending on how fast Korea and India-Pakistan are finished wrench kevin stein -

canopy closing?
Wrench replied to deanklef's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
we modders have unoffically chosen shift/0 for canopy, shift/9 for wing folds Don't forget to add the SystemName= to either the Fuselage or Nose sections of the Data ini which A-1H? Montys??? I remember setting it up for the update pak (ver6???)(which has gotten another overhaul for KAW) but you'll have to go into the Options --> controls --> customize to set up the animation key stroke. They're down at the bottom of the list. wrench kevin stein -

Terrain AAA
Wrench replied to RAVEN's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mods/Skinning Discussion
Absolutely. Not only that, but Mobile_AAA can/is also used in the static role (which is why you see ZSU-23s and ZSU-57s). AND... things like the Chapparell too (althought in SF2, the SA-8 are classed as Mobile_SAM) wrench kevin stein -

SF2 Screenshot Thread
Wrench replied to Stary's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
Oddly enough, the pedestrian bridge less than one tile-width to the south is perfect, as is the rail bridge a little further south from that one. It was fine until I updated the data ini to the latest 6/10 standard (some small, but definate changes, btw). Quite the head scratcher! I'm just gonna leave it as is ... don't feel like adding a new target area, and flattening it, just for the International Friendship Bridge, or whatever it's called. The illeagls can just walk under it! wrench kevin stein -
