EdA Phantoms ...
Wrench replied to Wrench's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
Well,hell! That explains why I couldn't find it!!! I was looking under F-4 Phantom skins directly, not for a C.12!!! Oh well. Looking over that mod, the only thing I can improve upon it, other than 'attaching' it to the F-4C, is using Sundowner skins, and redoing the numberlist to actually have the EdA number. Thanks for all the input folks!! Back to the Mirages!!! -
SF2 TMF Mirage IIIEE (EDA) by Macelena Upgrade Pack (v.2)
Wrench replied to macelena's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - File Announcements
SF2 TMF Mirage IIIEE (EDA) by Macelena Upgrade Pack (v.2) 3/18/2024 -For SF2, Any and All-(Full 5 Merged Suggested) This is an upgrade pack for The Mirage Factory's Dassault Mirage IIIEE as used by the Spanish Air Force (Ejército del Aire ). This is a 'tweeks pack' of the original mod by Macalena from 2009. Like the recent uploads of the other TMF Mirage IIIs, this one gets a fully remvamped (more) SF2 compatibale flight model, and several other minor and major tweeks. When in-game, on the Aircraft Selection Dropdown you'll see: Mirage IIIEE (TMF) So you can't mistake them for anything else but TMF Birds (tm). As there is no other IIIEE, I've not changed the folder and ini names like the others, in keeping with Mac's original upload. Other than the (included) drop tanks and R-530 missile, all weapons used are stock 3W items. As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them. All original readmes, when discoverable, are included. The 'Change Log' is, as always, in the Notes section below. Please be advised, this is designed so it can be simply dropped over an existing install of this aircraft. Or if you don't have it, unzipped and installed as usual. This IS the complete mod, just with newer bits and stuff. Happy Landings! Wrench Kevin Stein For Oli and The Mirage Factory ========= --Change Logs: New, SF2 compliant FM New damage tgas Decals randomized Original decals 'refreshed' to prevent bleeding of figures (painted them all black!) Adjusted positions of wing national insignia roundels Repainted rivets & panel lines on rudder, repainted white background and St.Andrew's cross Repainted gunsight tgas to a brighter yellow for us old folks with bad eyes Included missing 1stGen cockpit bmp/skin maps Duplicated outer pylons for Rocket Pod use only Destroyed model assigned Updated effects statements to SF2 standard Hangar screen has the 'blackboard' added, to make text visible Loading screen 'filled in' missing sections, adjusted color balence Loadouts adjusted -

new tiles for Korea MIGAlley from Gepard
Wrench replied to Lacsap's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - File Announcements
My suggestion, at this point, if for the the Uploader (tm), Lacasp, to remove remove all but the needed "parts" (the tiles, any inis required, TFD & HFD & TODs) and re-upload it. No terrain objects, no lods, extra bits, etc. Especially any 'permission only' items. Unless, of course, permission is obtained from the model/lod builder. Also, make sure a DETAILED informative readme with step-by-step install instructions are included. Right now, I'm going to leave it "as is", so this suggestion can be seen Simply put, for a re-tile, it's NOT necessary (or needed) to upload the entire terrain thank you -

help ! :) pilot bug with f-51d from FastCargo !
Wrench replied to Lacsap's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
Yeah, but the thing is ... FC Mustang does NOT require a FakePilot for ANYTHING. Which is where the real quandry begins. -

help ! :) pilot bug with f-51d from FastCargo !
Wrench replied to Lacsap's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
1st off, PLEASE!!!!! use standard formatting for you text. It's difficult to read when having to slide the text back and forth now... are you sure that's FastCargo's Mustang??? Because, it never required a 'fake pilot mod' for anything, secondly, that's not a skin it was issued with. I should know, of all people, as I'm the one that worked with FC on it, and released it. So, can you provide a link as to where this skin came from?? Cause it's not in the CA downloads (I even checked the RF-51/F-6). Belly landings are problematic, at best, in the SF series. Sometime you can, sometimes you can't. The game wasn't really built for it. -
SF2 TMF Mirage IIIE (AdA) Upgrade/Remod Pack
Wrench replied to Wrench's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - File Announcements
Yes, indeed I do!!! Working on the IIIEA, then the Nesher, Dagger, and the 5BA. Then the Kfir(s). Having some issues with the RPK-10 bomb carrying fuel tank for the 5BA, however. It won't load and wont' carry any bombs or I'm just missing "something easy" in the loadout ini and data ini descriptions for it -

Vietnam: AAA
Wrench replied to Mr_Tayto's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
For carriers, I'd use the 'waterworld' terrain; it's set up for it. but it has radars and AAA (has some SAMs, but they're easily edited out) the "water feature" as I like to call it, on The Range is for practice anti-shipping strikes -
Vietnam: AAA
Wrench replied to Mr_Tayto's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
there's no air defenses on The Range. I don't even think I placed enemy search radars either! -
WIP - B-52 / Large Aircraft: Military Hangar
Wrench replied to swambast's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
yea, but then you're stuck with a single location, and depending on the size of the foot print, interference with either game-generated parked birds, or builder placed static models. Much easier, and simpler for terrain builders with single items; they can be put "where you want them" (example: stuff in the hangars on The Forest Bowl and Taiwan Straits terrains) -
