cockpit ini for the relevant aircraft (if not supplied with the download, you'll have to extract from the ObjectData***cat) For the F-15A, it's in ObjectData010.cat wrench kevin stein -

Pasko's Su-9A/9B, Su-11 Fishpots for SF2
Wrench posted a topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - File Announcements
File Name: Pasko's Su-9A/9B, Su-11 Fishpots for SF2 File Submitter: Wrench File Submitted: 31 May 2010 File Category: Su-11 Sukhoi Su-9A/9B and Su-11 Upgrade Pak for SF2 series A relatively large upgrade pak, with some relatively minor tweeks for Pakso's Fishpot series of Soviet Interceptors, for use with SF2 Series games, either stand-alone or full merged installs. As seen in the original Upgrade pak, landing lights have been added, and in this pak, canopies have been activated via a manual animation key (Shift/0). Landing gear rolling radi have been adjusted to make the aircraft sit a little more evenly in SF2. Afterburner effects have been swichted over to a stock, game supplied one. No other changes to the FM have been effected; there is the occasional 'burp' in it, but it flys and handles quite nicely, given the time passed from their Original Release . This package, broken down into individual folder for ease of installation, is the COMPLETE Package of all 3 aircraft, and includes the changes from the WoE 08 Upgrade Pak. Mostly consisting of ini mods, that 'tweek' the data, and loadout inis, making them more usable in the SF2 series. Ordway's cockpits are also included, as is my 'instructional' text and jpg for use with the gunpods on the Su-11. This pack is designed to work with any, or no Weapons Pak, as Weapons ARE included, for those that don't have/use a weapons pak. PLEASE read the Notes below for some explainations of whyfores and wherefores, with reference to the Su-11. New 'generic' SF2-style hangar screens are also included for all 3 aircaft. Userlists have also been created, thereby limiting their 'deployment' only to the Soviet Air Force. This mod has been tested in SF2, Full 4-merged sims, at the May 2010 patch level. I haven't tested it in SF/Wo*, but don't feel there'd be any major differences, other than how the weapons are handeled. However, the landing gear rolling radui has been adjusted for SF2, and may need readjustment for 1stGens. The canopy fixes used here can be easily applied to the original 08 upgrade pak quickly, easily and with no problems. As always, it's reccomended to read this document through; there's some explainations along with the instructions as to why/how certain things were done. Also, for a full lisitng of Credits and Sources. Good Hunting! Comrade Wrench Kevin Stein Click here to download this file -

the shadow issue drives/drove me nuts. That's why I inluded the 21MF_shadow.SHD, and it STILL didn't work!! of course, when parked the 'tractor beam' dosen't show (nor from inside the cockpit! <grin>) It can always be turned off in Su-**/ini. Stil, DO bug me! wrench kevin stein -

Wrench replied to d00mg1v3r's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mods/Skinning Discussion
ok, I see now!! I'm assuming you're installing to WoE with the 08 patch? If so, that'll require the newer Weapons Editor (2/20/08, iirc). It should be in the downloads section under "Utilites". Run it in compatability for Winge95 (again, iirc!!!), and that should fix it. Same for the gun editor, but the old one STILL works in the 08 level. Just run in compatability. if the WepEd that came with the d/l is NOT dated 08, just toss it out. wrench kevin stein -

Wrench replied to AUDELADUDELIRE's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mods/Skinning Discussion
Yes, that is absoolutely correct, Big D!!! But, people want to spend their time, It's their time to waste, so ..... BUT ... if those superfort skins turn out good ... we'll probably ask for them! (saves me s**t-loads of time; even though I've got ALL the decal positions already plotted from my WW2 skin sets) Its mostly that the existing terrain (dated 2005) is pretty much beyond help. wrench kevin stein -

Q: installing WW2 weapon pack
Wrench replied to rogerbacon's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mods/Skinning Discussion
A known issue, when using 06 and earlier weapon in an 08 and later game. the fix is here: http://forum.combatace.com/topic/33279-septoct-2008-patch-weapons-issue-fix/ BTW: WoI is NOT the choice for WW2 era installs. It's lacking the needed terrain cats (desert, germanyCE and sometimes vietnamSEA) for the WW2 terrains. I should know, I rebuilt all of them.... wrench kevin stein
