Static TARGET aircraft
Wrench replied to ChampionsVA56's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
mine's just plane, unmarked camo. VERY generic here's a test you can do for the destroyed model... in ObjectData001.cat you'll find the the AN-12_Destroyed.lod. Copy/paste it into a (test) terrain of choice. Edit the _types ini callout for the Parked Herc like so (obviously, this will ONLY work in SF2): see how that goes (or, it if works at all...it should, tho) wrench kevin stein -
TW F-84F outer pylon
Wrench replied to ravenclaw_007's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
it's an air-data probe, used on this one while testing the 24-rocket loadout. mike: don't I wish! what's really cool about TK's Tstreak, that even (originally) designed as an AI-only, the thing's got bump mapping details! It just crys out to be modded!! wrench kevin stein -

I see mppd has the same Aerofax book that I do!!! IIRC< it said the 'mounting pins were retractable' or someting like that. The pics above (RC's wing closeups) seem to show those. FC is going to generate the rack lods, and we'll have them soon! --------- the nodes would be: pylon_outer_L pylon_outer_rack_R pylon_outer_L pylon_outer_rack_L wrench kevin stein -
Static TARGET aircraft
Wrench replied to ChampionsVA56's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
yes, they must be specificly created to be static models. (you should have seen how marcello's Mi-8 disappeared when I tried to make it static for Indo-Pak. The only thing visible was the rotor hub!!) right now, what we have for helos are: S-76 in the Factroy Place (availble in butt-loads of other terrain mods, -AE, ASW has the additional 'black.bmp' for the rotors and wheels) Bandido's Team: Puma Chinook (both I have reskinned to 'generic' green) C-130E (which I havn't gotten around to generic-izing the skin. would take all of >5 minutes) UH-1 in various and sundry of my terrain mods cocas is working on a mi-8 static for Indo-Pak there are a couple of others in other terrain mods, but they're original source has not allowed them to be shared. wrench kevin stein -

get ahold of Soulfreak ... he, I, and couple other are expanding on my little 'tweeks' pak on T-streak note to self: aks FC about the multi-paks from KAW. Obviously, they're missing the actual 'rack bits', but this is the mounting arrangement EDIT: TMF's old triple racks work ok, too. They just need converting to SF2 format (as well as their old 200 gallon ferry tank for the outboard stations, not pictured here) new stuff is coming! Paitence my brothers! wrench kevin stein -

F-101 ECM pods
Wrench replied to Delta6Actual's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mods/Skinning Discussion
and, did they actually carry them??? Neither the SSP "Modern Military Aircraft #5002: McDonnel F-101 Voodoo" nor the "Detail & Scale #21" mention anyting about ECM at all, or even RWRs, including the RFs. and you'll loose your external tanks ... rather vital, I'd say. or you missiles if using the rotary bay for such things. If'n your wanting to step into 'fantasy mountings', why just just add them as internal avionics?, like you see on the F-4J Phantom. Then, you just edit the data in to add the necessary SystemName= and the {ECM} statement. wrench kevin stein -
Where I can find these Aircraft
Wrench replied to tor's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
dev a-teams site http://cplengineeringllc_bb.cplengineeringllc.com/Forum/index.php?sid=d13c8446379546f32d69516a4ece53ec follow the instructions. OR....even better.... buy the WoI Expansion Pak from TK, it includes the Metor 8 -and the MiG-15, Vampire, P-51D, and 2 Spitfires (IX LE and E) and get Marcfighters Mi-8 to replace to Hind -- some edititng of the campaign ini will, or course, be needed. what better way to support the game's manufacturer, eh? wrench kevin stein -

the chaff bomb don't work in game. I don't recall that it ever did, going all the way back to 06. In real life, it would explode in mid-air, speading the chaff out to bling out enemy search and sam radars (E/B-66s sometimes carried them, as well as Phantoms in SEA) Google would be a good place to start...., FAS.org is another (although sometime suspect politically) Missile index http://missile.index.ne.jp/en/ various and sundry sites (you'll have to search for each sepecifcally) on which every system is of interest. and The Bible (a real book!) for Soviet/Russian would be Yefram Gordons "Sovit/Russian Aircraft Weapons since WW2" A MUST have! wrench kevin stein -

or, as they called them in my dad's day in the army (1944-46) "Pro Stations"??? Having a hell of time (trying) to repaint the infantry squad into, well, "the girls". With guns!!! (don't suppose a 3d guy would like to create some bikini clad babes with guns, just for eye candy doncha know!) edit: AHH! aid station .. have just the thing, sitting in the Korea terrain!!! wrench kevin stein -

Wrench replied to ramin-am's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
use the ones from the TMF WOI weapons pak .. there's 4 or 5 launcher vehicles, and several missiles. They work just fine (and is SF2 as well) wrench kevin stein -

latest on merged installs
Wrench replied to luckyluca's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
there is, of course, the option to "delete non-theatre specific aircraft" from the various mods folders. IE: have USN Rhinos and Scooters and Cruds (oh my!) in SF2I just ain't necessary. wrench kevin stein -

you know, you can hit Alt/D and remove the on-screen text and radar display, making for a nice, clean screenshot. I like to see my "landscaping" without the added disctractions wrench kevin stein -

Wrench replied to ramin-am's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
prolly because the HAWK launcher is BLUE and the R-77 is RED, maybe is problem??? AND ... you need to associate search and tracking radars with SAM launcher. why not just use all the myriad and lovely Soviet SAMs we already have? Save a lot of work that way.... wrench kevin stein -
there's a new one in the works. Prolly out early next year. Built from the 26B/Cs as we're using for KAW. Did you check the MaxSteeringAngle= number? Negative for 06, positive for 08. (although, most nosewhell aircraft already have it set positive, but check to be sure) btw, this is a chronic issue with many DAT birds, along with the 'driving miss daisy' non-takeoff and running round the airfield problem (as well as bounceupanddownflipoverandexplode). I've mentioned it several times (in particular with the Chinese P-43 Lancer), but it hasn't been fixed yet. wrench kevin stein

Bullet/Shell Impact sound.
Wrench replied to fokker96's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
it sure does ... it's called "objecthit.wav". You'll find it in the FlightData.cat (in SF2) wrench kevin stein
