Vietnam Community Project Idea: Gulf of Tonkin Incident - Redux
Wrench replied to swambast's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
Like this. Fully repaved in concrete, and I've never noticed any flickering. I know that may not be fully correct for SEA, but it works much better. I'd be happy to send all the bits and pieces, if you want Also, all the textures are still in their 'stock' style (bmp, tga) -
Algerian/Moroccan serial numbers?
Wrench posted a topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
While we actually do have a number of aircraft for Morocco and Algeria, there is a pretty large gap concerning some of the others. What I'm asking, is there a site someplace that might have their listings?? I've been scouring the web, and while coming up with SOME answers (like the prefix letters used on Algerian birds), still need the number sequences. In particular, Algerian MiG-21s (all models), and their MiG-23s (MF, BN, MS) TIA!!! -
SF2 F-16AM Falcon, Portugal (TMF) Pack
Wrench posted a topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - File Announcements
View File SF2 F-16AM Falcon, Portugal (TMF) Pack SF2 F-16AM Falcon, Portugal (TMF) Pack 8/21/2025 -For SF2, Any and All (Full 5 Merged Suggested) This is a rebuild of a mod from 2011(ish) of The Mirage Factory's F-16A to the represent the F-16AM versions as used by the Portuguese Air Force Squadrons No. 201 "Falcons" and No. 302 "Jaguars". Each squadron has 2 skins; standard full color, and low visibility markings. The SF2 date switch is active, turning on in 2000 (best guess) This mod is set up and labeled to cause =NO= conflicts with any of the other TMF F-16As buzzing around, as this carries a unique name (see below). Skins remain in their original bmp format, in their original size and resolution (1024x). All markings are decals. Decal Randomization is TRUE. Each skin is provided with 18 historically correct serial number decals. The necessary items provided are drop tanks and pilot seat, the TMF F-16 Effects and Sounds. I've not supplied any other weapons; you should have the needed ones from the various Weapons Packs available at CA . If I missed anything, PLEASE let me know and I'll try to get it fixed. . The canopy operates with the Standard Animations Keystroke (tm), Shift/0 (zero). The refueling door opens/closes with the Shift/1 (one) keystroke. When in-game, on the Aircraft Selection Drop down you'll see: F-16AM FAP (TMF) So you can't mistake it for anything other than what it is. As always fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them. The original readme is included. The 'Change Log' is, of course, in the Notes section below.

I've noticed that flickering a few times, too. What about retexturing that Runway 2 to match the "new" concrete sections? I have both R2 and R3s redone in concrete, if you want them. -

SF2 F-86F-40 Sabre, EDA (Spain) Skin Pack

SF2 F-86F-40 Sabre, EDA (Spain) Skin Pack

View File SF2 F-86F-40 Sabre, EDA (Spain) Skin Pack SF2 F-86F-40 Sabre, EDA Skin Pack 8/2/2025 -For SF2, Any and All (Full Merged Recommended) This is a NEW skin for the F-86F-40 Sabre. This is a something of a "salvage operation", as I found this skin/decal set in my archives. It was originally done in 2012, but for reason unremembered, never released! This set represents Spanish Air Force (Ejército del Aire y del Espacio) Sabres of 1 Ala from approx. 1958, when they started receiving the Sabre. You get 18 historically accurate decals; accurate in the fact they served in the EDA, but I was unable to associate them to a specific squadron or wing. So, consider them to be 'generic' in nature. Please note, the fuselage numbers are the early presentation as when first delivered. The skin is in jpg format, and decal randomization is TRUE. The SF2 date switch is NOT used, however the "startdefaultdate=" is set to 1958. Hopefully it works as advertised. On the skin selection menu, on the Loadout Page, you'll see: 1 Ala, 12 Esc As is always recommended, unzip to a temp folder or your desktop to give easy access to the rest of this readme for it's install instructions. As always, give the "Notes" section a quick read for any and all nonsensical ramblings. A small request for information is also down there. :) Happy Landings!

You need to work on your Read Me files. In fact, you NEED to INCLUDE them in your uploads. Not only to give the downloader insturctions on installation (and gods help us, there's folks here that need it), but how about giving credits where credits are due to the original modders??? In fact, that goes for all you recent uploads. Site rules are a read me file MUST be included for every upload.

View File SF2 A-7P Corsair II (TMF) FAP Pack SF2 A-7P Corsair II (TMF) FAP Pack 8/4/2025 -For SF2, Any and All (Full 5 Merged Suggested) This is a rebuild of TMF's A-7A Corsair II to the A-7P versions as used by the Portuguese Air Force's No. 302 Squadron "Falcons". This, like the Real Life (tm) version, uses the "A" body upgraded with "E" bits. This includes the cockpit and avionics. That is to say, I've (re)used the TMF A-7E cockpit and avionics for this mod. If, for whatever reason, you dislike the TMF cockpit, I've provided the inis and instructions herein to switch over to the stock 3W A-7E_78 cockpit and avionics inis. So, you'll need whichever SF2 game version gave us the A-7E_78 (disremember which one) This mod is set up and labeled to cause =NO= conflicts with the 3rdWire DLC A-7P, as this carries a unique name (see below). Skins remain in their original bmp format, in their original size and resolution. All markings are decals. Decal Randomization is TRUE. The skin is provided with 18 historically correct serial number decals. The necessary items provided are drop tanks and pilot seat. Weapons used are all stock in-game items. If I missed anything, PLEASE let me know and I'll try to get it fixed. . The canopy operates with the Standard Animations Keystroke (tm), Shift/0 (zero). The wing fold is operated by Shift/9 (nine). The refueling probe operates with the Shift/3 (three) keystroke. When in-game, on the Aircraft Selection Drop down you'll see: A-7P Corsair II (TMF) So you can't mistake it for anything other than what it is. This will also differentialize THIS one from the Third Wire DLC, if you happen to have it. As always fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them.

Forgot to mention, I just discovered an unfinished EDA Sabre skin from 2012!!!!! (better, of course than the one already here) (really? only 7 serial per aircraft? too lazy to look up the rest??). Even though my serials a just generic .... Also found out we don't have a Portuguese Sabre skin either!! Now, I've got to run down their paint scheme (colored tails for ?? squadron), and the serials. Doncha love modding? Making sure folks that'll download a terrain that's not even finished, have all the right birds??? -

Wrench replied to ErikGen's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
in the works, and coming soon (designed for when I finish the Iberia map) NEW!!! Completely rebuilt and more accurate C.15 Hornet for EDA. The mod from 2009 is udder shite, even though this is based off that old one. vastly improved with things that actually work as advertised (!!!). F-16AM for PoAF, nation specific. lots of new 'fiddly bits' A-7P for PoAF. Yes, I know there's a DLC for that, but we've got plenty of cheapass MFs around that won't buy a subscription, let alone a DLC from TK/3rdWire. (both seen recently in the "Transitions" screen shots thread) Both the F-16 and A-7P are based off TMF's birds (A-7A with A-7E cockpit and electronics). -

Actually, I just adapted them from a SF1 mod by Tannenthal. He gets all the original credit. Looking good on DRV!!! ======== re: sideways sampan. Pretty sure the 'world center' is probably off. I have a cargo ship that does the same thing. Maybe try moving the 'thrust angle' 90 degrees to the direction of motion? Or remove the ship wake effect? (tell folks as it's under sail, it tacking with the winds?)
