No avionics70.dll for F-4s ?
Wrench replied to UllyB's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
Lack of skills in searching seems to be rather rampant these days. Lack of knowledge of the subject even moreso I'd suggest looking for the following aircraft: F-4EJ kai F-4E AUP As some folks are always trying to re-invent the wheel, and don't seem to understand it's already been done by experts ... -
Strike Fighters 2: Windows 10 Edition up for pre-order
Wrench replied to MigBuster's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters Series News
I"m going to venture a guess that 3rd party mods will probably just drop in. Anything from 3W (DLCs, expansion packs) will most likely have to be party re-written for Winge10. Just my wandering thoughts ...- 183 replies

Wrench replied to UllyB's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
No. Can't use it And you trying to mix and match two incompatable games. Don't do that. SF1 questions belong in the SF1 forums. SF2 questions here in SF2 forums. Please choose which you'd like to use. We've been getting some not so positive feedback, so for everyone's sake ... (and I'm trying to be nice here) Choose a path -
SF2 F-86L "Lima" Sabre Dog Revamp Pack
Wrench posted a topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - File Announcements
View File SF2 F-86L "Lima" Sabre Dog Revamp Pack SF2 F-86L "Lima" Sabre Dog Revamp Pack 6/9/2020 "Quarantine Approved - Essential Mods" = For SF2 (Any & All) = This package is designed to replace the original F-86L from the pack available from the folowing URL: https://combatace.com/files/file/10286-sf2-f-86dl-v10/ by suhjake from 2009 It is =NOT= necessary to have the original mod pack, as this =WILL= replace it in total. Everything reusable from that pack will be included with this. If you do have the original installed, you will probably wish to remove, move, or delete it. Overwriting may cause conflicts. As the Lima's were mostly used by USAF Air National Guard units, that is what's covered here. The following units are depicted herein: 146th FIS PA ANG (57-60) 190th FIS ID ANG (59-64) 194th FIS, CA ANG (58-64) 199th FIS, HI ANG (58-61) 3550th CCTW, Moody AFB, GA (late 50s/early 60s) 3555th CCTW, Perin AFB, TX (late 50s/early/60s) and a USAF Silver (Generic) -a blank skin for other skinners to use. It does have the 'day glo' panels on the wings, fuselage and tail. As only the 194th is listed in the stock squadron list ini, it uses a level=1 decal to activate the displayed squadron name on the Loading/Skin selection screen. All of the Original Skins (PA ANG, 3550 & 3555 CCTWs) have been completely redone, although they remain in bmp format. All other skins are brand new for this package. 26 all new serial and buzz numbers, where used, have been created. While correct for this aircraft; all numbers are from the late-production Ds that were converted to Ls, they should be considered 'generic' in nature. State name identifiers and squadron markings are decals. Decal randomization is TRUE for all skins. All weapons, pilots, etc are included. A backup copy of the original Data ini is already provided, as this new one has many modifications and adjustments. As always, fairly easy to follow, detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them .... they can be accessed after unzipperizing. Please follow the 'usual instructions' Happy Landing! Wrench Kevin Stein Submitter Wrench Submitted 06/12/2020 Category F-86 -

mods enabled ONLY means you can add things. this is the most recent weapons editor, alos available in our handy-dandy downloads section. make a new folder in your Saved Games folder, I called my Utilities, and execute from there. You WILL have to set the paths on editor startup and yes ALL weaons go in the /Objects/Weapons folder. You can move/copy that entire folder around into all or none your seperate game's mods folder. That how most of us do it. There are tutorials in the SF1 & SF2 Knowledge Bases. Very well covered. SF2_WeaponsEditor_setup_Apr2012.exe -

what about 2 skids, like on the X-Wing or Y-Wing? You could put a set of rollers at the bottom of the skid, like on a Viper (original BSG series) or something like the proposed Gemini landing skids with the para-wing -

You dont need to have the weapons data ini anywhere in the game, ever. The weapons editor reads from the cat file, THEN from any sub-folders in the /Weapons folder. the WE is no longer really needed, as ALL weapons are in seperate folders with the relevant main ini, data ini, lods and skin maps within. It can all be edited by hand with notepad in the weapons data ini. Maybe if you explained WHAT you're trying to do ... we can be of more assistance. Other than taking forever and a day to open the WE works fine. Are you using the right version? Should be April 2012 -
"Afterburner.ini"s missing ?

remember ANY effect from 1stGens are missing the shader statments. Which is why they don't work. -

Wrench replied to russouk2004's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
yes, it's the single sheet skin texture. The good thing is, if I make an Army or whatever version, simple hex editing and renaming the MAIN skin (fuselag1, fuselag2, etc) and renaming the lod to match (HRS -seen above, CH-19 for USArmy, etc), all the interior bits remain the same. I don't know why this is true, but the H-19 is my favorite helicopter. Maybe from all those old movies (and don't forget, they used to get Prof. Challenger to the plateau to discover his dinosaurs!!) or my Dad used to take me to the western end of Santa Monica Airport as a kid (1960s) to watch the US Mail chopper pick up it's load of letter. -

Hangar sounds in SF2
Wrench replied to UllyB's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
I"m sure it's one of the many (myriad?) things that got fucked over the years with the various patches. I don't think it works in SF2 anymore. Maybe something missing from a dll??? Menrva might know??? Sad, because I liked the 1stGen hangar noises -

I"d trust Frenchie with ANYTHING for RCN/RCAF/CF stuff! He's knows his stuff!! -- Did a little personal renaming; with different named lods and renamed skin and then a quick hex edit... for the static version (extended rotors), give me options for the various services. It's very over-mapped; meaning all the parts for the Player Flyable (tm) are used on this. Not a bit deal, as the file sizes are fairly small. I placed 2 at MCAS Kanehoe, and they look really good!! Of course, have to use the "inactiveyear=" switch on the _targets ini, but that's NO big deal (for me!! <gr>) could use a silver Air Force skin, but no big deal! looking good Russ!! Thanks!! -

Drop all your graphic setting to as low as possible, turn off mirrors, turn off shadows. It'll look like shit, but it might be playable. Good luck with your treatments!!! -
hangar screen matter
Wrench replied to UllyB's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
you just name it what you want, place the jpg/bmp INSIDE the aircraft folder, and do a rename in the aircraft's main ini. Remember how the game engine LOOKS for files --- folders, then cats. Folder always takes precedence. You've NEVER ever had to use a whole pathway -- all the back to 2003. Believe me, I know. I cut my teeth making hangar and loading screens in the early 2000s. That's how I got started modding these games Hangar and loading screens are the easiest things to do in this game. -

Wrench replied to russouk2004's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - File Announcements
Those of us the know, already know how. but, it would look like this: called it "Suk100" , as we have an Su-100 tank for a long time. This removes ANY possibility of confusing the game engine (which is fucked up enough in places) the destroyed model is a 'best fit'; unfortunately, you'd need to extract the destroyed lod from the object cat, and place it into the terrain folder to make sure it works. Just referencing it, sometimes don't work. -
Operation Seelöwe
Wrench replied to Gepard's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - World War II Forum
they're a nightmare to build -- the seaplane ramps aren't that hard, just use the large concrete slabs. It's the lack of proper sized hangers (REALLY LARGE) to place nearby. I know, I've tried!!! -
