B-52G Addon by Wpnssgt
Wrench replied to a topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - File Announcements
They are incomplete. If you wait a little longer (a couple of months perhaps), new G & H models are in the works. In the meantime, you can alsway substitute the A-6 Intruder pit. Albeit FAAAAAR from a BUFF pit, it will get you something that works (of the F-111's for that matter) WRench kevin stein -
J-7E/G
Wrench replied to Erwin_Hans's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mods/Skinning Discussion
Nice pit. One wonder how much work would it entail to mod it for use in the Mig-27??? That IL-10 will be a great addition for Korean War era (and of course, Eastern Front WW2) Wrench kevin stein -
Request for a Tornado SEA skin...
Wrench replied to malibu43's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mods/Skinning Discussion
Making a new template off an existing skin isn't all that hard...it's just time consuming. Using multi-layers, you just add new panel and rivet lines, basic coloring, weathering and all the other various and sundry bits. How do you think I've done so many of the skins I've doing (albeit more WW2-ish), when a lot of these birds DON'T have templates available??? For that Oscar skin I just released, I had to make a new one, as I somehow lost my original...took me about 4-6 hours. Wrench kevin stein -
SAM network Types...
Wrench replied to malibu43's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
Fub is our resident expert on the subject. He knows the ins and outs of some of the more esoteric working better than probably any of us. Repetitive, yes. Annoying, naah. This just points me to make the sure the upgrades are available, which means updating the Pakso Paks (yet again!). I'll put in on my "Honey Do List"!! WRench kevin stein -
Can anyone help me with Su-7 cockpit?

SAM network Types...
Wrench replied to malibu43's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
All this networking has already been done...have you checked the later version of Pakso's Pak I uploaded last year? Either the Euro or Desert, I disremember... Have you looked at the TMF weapons pak???? Lot's of stuff in there has been tweeked, including 4 new version of Chapparel, and upgraded HAWKs. And how hard could it possibly be, to just copy/paste the Network= line into the existing data ini, once the proper radar types are know??? Wrench kevin stein -
Can anyone help me with Su-7 cockpit?
Wrench replied to Red Dragon's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
Can we assume you read the enclosed readme and followed those instructions to the letter??? What, in particular is the problem?? Not showing up?? Aircraft missing off the dropdown?? More info please! First off, check for double nested folder; ie: su-7/cockpit/cockpit. That happens a lot, which is why we reccomend unzipping to a temp folder. That way, you eliminate any problems that might occur when unzipping directley to the aircraft's folder. And makes it easier to just move the bits needed (ie: inis, cockpit folder, etc) Wrench kevin stein -

11 Sentai Ki-43iib Oscar Skin Set
Wrench posted a topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - File Announcements
File Name: 11 Sentai Ki-43iib Oscar Skin Set File Submitter: Wrench File Submitted: 26 Aug 2008 File Category: Ki-43 Nakajima Ki-43 "Oscar", Skin , For SF/WoV/WoE PTO Installs This package contains a reskin of Wolf257's Ki-43 'Oscar'. It is specifically designed for use on the Ki-43iib mod I released last year . Again, this skin is for Wolf's Oscar =ONLY= , and will absolutely NOT work on ArmorDave's version You MUST have the Wolf's "WW2 Planes Pak", AND my Ki-43iib mod to install this to. Both are available at CombatAce. The skin is based off the original IJAAF Natural Metal and Camos, and was built from a new template created off the original skins. All new panel, rivet lines, and other details were drawn by me. The tail Chutai marking is a decal. It represents aircraft of 11 Sentai, 2 Chutai during early 1942 through early 1943 timeframe, as seen over Malaya, Dutch East Indies (or NEI) and New Gueina. 2 other chutai tail makings have been supplied for those wishing to create the full Sentai. (full instructions are below in the "To Create The Full Sentai" section) -= NOTE: You MUST have the Bunyap Weapons Pak of 6/06 to get the WW2 weapons and guns and such =- --= NOTE: You MUST have Wolf257's Ki-43 (and my Ki-43IIb mod) to install this pakage into (duh!!) and =-- - This mod has ONLY been tested in SF, WoV and WoE. This mod is NOT reccomended for use in a WW2 style install of WoI, as it handles prop flight models in "an extreamly odd way".- It is HIGHLY suggested that you read the enclosed readme COMPLETLY THROUGH before installing this pak; this will help you during the install process, blah, blah, blah, Notes and Comments section, and of course, etc. Happy Landings!

Speaking of fuel tanks...
Wrench posted a topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mods/Skinning Discussion
Since we're on the subject of fuel tanks (nice additions to the MiG family, there lindr! good job!) I have a "fuel tank" that I know holds 330 liters of fuel. Now, what I DON'T remember, even reaching back into my dim, dark memory recesses from Jr High and High School metrics classes (we're talking 1970s here!), is there a one-to-one correllation to weight and volume? I have this vague memory of (something??) saying "one liter equals 1 kilogram''. We all know aviation gasoline weighs differently than water, so what WOULD be the weight in kg be of 330 liters of gas?? I've looked a the metric conversion sites, what few tables I have here, but can't find a definitive answer. Any help would be greatly appriciated! TIA! Wrench kevin stein stein -
WoI MiG-17F Fresco C EAF Fighter-Bomber Mod
Wrench posted a topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - File Announcements
File Name: WoI MiG-17F Fresco C EAF Fighter-Bomber Mod File Submitter: Wrench File Submitted: 22 Mar 2008 File Category: Mig-17 File Version: 1.00 Website: No Information EAF MiG-17F Fresco-C Fighter-Bomber Mod for WoI This little package of inis and such is my attempt to duplicate the the fighter-bomber mod the EAF performed on their MiG-17's during the 6 Day War. This mod entails some small data and loadout ini tweeks, adding 2 more bomb stations on the forward, lower fueselage. I have duplicated, as best I can with the available 'parts', the Skar rocket rack, carrying a version of the S-5 FFAR. I have kept the standard UB 16/32 rocket pods on their usual positions, but they are just not used on this mod. (Historical note: the EAF eventually went back to using them in the late 70s ) Included is a modification of MK2's Russian-ized A-4B Skyhawk pit, with most of the insturments reading in the metric system, along with a Russian gunsight. I've also updated it with an audio-only RWR. Don't know if they actually had one...but it'll give you a little better chance against the IDF HAWKs... You also get a new WoI-styled Hangar screen -only available with this mod!! It is designed for use in WoI; you can however, use it in other versions, but you'll have to find an EAF skin for it. You will be using the Weapons Editor to add the 2 new 'weapons', so MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THE WoI VERSION!!!! Please read the encloses readme for full, detailed instructions - no skin is included, you'll be reusing the stock one Wrench kevin stein Click here to download this file -

Wrench replied to Wrench's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mods/Skinning Discussion
Thanks guys! That's perfect!!! whiteknight: that would have been a last resort (but I do't have a scale -most fat people don't!!! Too scary!) We're just speaking about old fashioned, garden variety 87 octane avgas, circa 1942 (minus the dead bugs and stuff) So I WAS right about about the 1 liter = 1 kilogram!!! Damn, memory still works!! (for water that is!) Now, to go off and fix those 2 tanks in the weaponsdata, and tweek the aircrafts (2) data inis.... This will give an aircraft, that already has phenomenal range for it's day, even MORE range! WRench kevin stein -

There should be ALL kinds of Jap bombs in the pack. I know when Pasko first released the Val, he used Soviet FABs.

As the link is broked at his site, and it's dosn't seem availalbe to the General Masses , I've chosen to upload the entire aircraft, WITH my Update Pak already installed. Please consider this as a REPLACEMENT and enchacement of the Pak I uploaded yesturday. As stated, this IS the complete aircraft, lods, skins, inis, and cockpit (which comes from AD's Zero). This will simplify matters releated to installing it. -= NOTE: You MUST have the Bunyap Weapons Pak of 6/06 to get the WW2 weapons and guns and such =- - This mod has been tested in SF, WoV and WoE. This mod is NOT reccomended for use in a WW2 style install of WoI, as it handles prop flight models in "an odd way". As usual, read the enclosed 'readme' for (for once!!!) simple install instructions!! BTW, as this is the complete aircraft, there are 2 readmes -- Pasko's original and the one for my update pak, but you can disregard it With deep thanks to Pasko for creating this aircraft for us, and all those that worked on it!
