    Lybia Terrain; Updates, Fixes and General Mayhem Version 2.0 =FINAL= No more updates after this release!!! This is mostly a 'fix' of the targets, types, and movements inis. It replaces ALL PERVIOUS VERSIONS of the Libya map. It is a FULL terrain, with everything needed to just unzip, drop into your game of choice, select the proper terrain cat pointer (more below), and go fly. That means that EVERYTHING is included - tiles, inis, the usual suspect terrain items (factory place, truck depot, country flags, etc). It has been tested in SF, WoV and WoE. It should work in WoI, as long as one of the original terrains is present, and the cat pointer adjusted to 'look' for it. -- This has NOT been tested! It has been rebuilt, with corrected placements and flattening of the Libyan airbases, renaming of some target areas, and an EXTENSIVE expansion of the target's themselves. Due to terrain considerations, there are several airbases that are NOT in their Real World ™ locations or have the proper runway configuration. But they're pretty damn close! All the inis, especially the movement, have been rebuilt to change the semi-functional Anti-Shipping mission placements to something that works, and the addition of several Ground Attack routes from Tunisia. As you can expect, there are several 'Easter Eggs' scattered around the map. Have fun finding them! It is also reccomened you have the latest Weapons Pak (either one should be ok), Pasko's Ground Objects, and Kesselbrut's Vehicles Pak. I haven't acutally placed their objects, other than the HAWK batteries, but they're nice to have. See "Notes" below for information about Stock & 3rd Party Ships. PLEASE read the readme for full, detailed, step-by-step install instructions. Also, have a look at the semi-extensive "Notes" section for more of my color commentary and additional sidebars. Happy Hunting! Wrench Kevin Stein
  2. Just make sure it points to one of the original terrain cats...no problems!! Wrench kevin stein
  3. Somewhere's from 6 to an even dozen, at last count!!! B-49D in SEA camo EB-49 AWACs B-49H (current dark gray - has loadout problems) TBM-3E (with belly radar - needs different greenhouse w/o turret) PB-1W (USN B-17 radar picket) the aforementioned Sea Fury F.10 Tu-4 Bull AWAC Meteor NF-13/14 - one RAF, one IDF A-20J/Boston IV (2 seperate planes, same body) Vichy Hawk 75 (just need to finish readme!!!) Bf-109T2 (albeit with short, stock E wings, and no spoilers) RCAF F-100 SuperSabre (that ain't such a hard tweek) F7U-3M (kinda -- trying to figure out if I can release it, as it's Marcellos???) SCG Talon (skin and decals - new nose art!!) I assume we're NOT including 'nationalized' mods of existing aircraft ... this post would go on nearly forever!!! Some screens... Those are all I could find... Some of them, you'll probably notice, are Dev A-Team products, and will probably be released through them. Unless I get permission, of course! Don't forget, not all my mods are here at CA...there's quite a few on my site. Wrench kevin stein
  4. Dont' forget Sparky also wants a pony...or maybe Alyssa ON a pony or something else I won't go into here.... anyway, got a package from the A #1 skinner, and here's the result: Sundowner sent me his HAF Phantom pak to finish off...and this skin is AMAAAAZZING!! The only thing I'd want to do is figure out the font and text size, and add about 10-15 more serial numbers. Some more ini tweeks, and the extended numbers, and we've got a bird! Probably work on it more after I get the Libya map uploaded (which should be fairly soon!) Wrench kevin stein

    Cool!!! It's a First Generation Technical!! Wrench kevin stein
  6. You're saying that to the de-throned King of What If * ??? Wrench Kevin Stein * Julhelm now wears The Crown, I'm but a humble accolyte...
  7. You forgot to add "UseMetricData=TRUE" to the data ini Just thought I'd be a butthead!!! Looks pretty good to me! Wrench kevin stein
  8. Well, having gone over both versions (I've an F.10 version for SWOTL/PropColdWar I've never released), added the TRUE line to fueselage show, added a prop tga from the Jug, and still nothing. I belive the model itself may be lacking the pointer in the LOD that describes the prop tga, from internal views only. Since it's still considered a Beta, and never really finished, this might be a small something we have to live with. Also, if anyone is interested, I have a small mod of the cockpit ini that adds a lead computing Mk.III sight with new sight tga. Wrench kevin stein
  9. It's not a pay account, it' s just a sign up account. Just shoot him an email, or go through the Forum's first thread (right on the log-in page). May take a day or 3 to reply. Wrench kevin stein
  10. Torpedoes don't work in this game...they're really an EOGR, set to fly at nearly zero altitude. Have at look at the Beagle T, and the WW2 torpedo bombers (Beau, Beaufort, Kate, Jill, TBF/TBM, etc), to see how's it's 'faked' Of course, you could always set the weapon to NOLOD, but then nothing would show up under the wings. Wrench kevin stein
  11. Please check PM!! Wrench kevin stein
  12. There's a RAT-52 torp in my IL-28T Beagle, over in the d/ls section...maybe you can use sumthing from that??? Wrench kevin stein

  13. Holy Moly!

    I can almost remember being 41...and it was only 10 year ago!! happy belated b-day, Great and Powerful Zur!! Wrench kevin stein
  14. Not available in player-flown missions, single or campaign. That's one of the 'mission profiles' never implimented, although it's one of several possible (like Air_Assault and a few others). Perhaps something for a future patch (hopefully before the next asteroid impact...) However, I know that YAP has some in their packages... Wrench kevin stein
  15. And use the Typhoon pit ... it's much closer to reality. Wrench kevin stein
  16. I may have something for you there, albeit on a smaller scale map, and designed with 1948-1955 in mind... Wrench kevin stein
  17. just testing my little theory.... Wrench kevin stein
  18. Don't forget to fade the base colored part about 85% -- that'll give it a painted on look in game (with thanks Dave for that tip!) Wrench kevin stein
  19. Sorry, bro, it did't make it... Getting pics to link out of the Gallery is something I've yet to figure out too; so I just use my web site to host. Once I figure out the Gallery thingy, I'd love to post my illustrated tutiorial on 'Adding Targets to Maps' Opppys edit: it should be the same as linking off site; try this: Upload to the Gallery. Right click on the pic, "properties", which will give you the url address. Highligh that, "copy", then go the the post, 'insert pic' --4th button from the left on the top of the posting (looks like a little green square with and orange do-jobby in it), past the link into it, and go from there I'll have to try that meself... Wrench kevin stein
  20. Excellent news!!! Wrench kevin stein
  21. Have you looked in our Downloads section??? 3rdWireSeries/Add-On Aircraft/Cold War Aircraft/ MiG-17 Plus several other versions of the Fresco D/E And I must correct myself -- it's actually 4 years old... And... after you get it, and have it installed, you'll be neededing to hit the Knowledge Base for corrections and fixes for it. See the "Weapons and Loadouts Fixes Thread, Bunyap Pak" for you editing info Wrench kevin stein
  22. Um, aren't they called CAS mission??? And easily selectable from the main menu?? As long as the aircraft has the correct MissionType= callout listed?? You don't want to try that when the DS mod finally get released ... many of the vehicles (trucks, APCs, etc) shoot back.... Wrench kevin stein
  23. Edwards 1950s version, the payware one?? You'd need to rebuild the targets and types ini to add the SAMs and radars. I do remember, waaay back in it's first edition (several years ago), it was set up with 'modern' air defenses; cause I had to remove them in rebuilding it for the 1950s (personal use - then he came out with the right ones). Don't know if it's still available...or even if I have a copy archived. I do remember it was NOT full sized (Real Life ) Doable? Very much so. Wrench kevin stein

  24. Operation Chastise

    Wrench replied to Syrinx's topic in The Pub

    Here's a couple of shot, fresh off the aviation pictures newsgroup.... With thanks to the poster over there!! WRench kevin stein
  25. SkippyBing: any news on the Stringbag??? Have some nice hangar/loading screens for that, just looking for a home.... (along with the Wyvern, too) Wrench kevin stein
