Been that way with the Sabres, too. They also jettisoned the pylons with the tanks. But our in-game model keeps the pylons. Since I'm a lazy sod (with no 3d talent!) I would take the standard "game engine" way, and just keep the pylons on the aircraft. Maybe add an explination in the read me that "in the Real World (tm), the tanks and pylons are dumped together". Sometimes we have to give up accuracy for playability. Or game engine limits. -

time: 1968 place: Cannon AFB, New Mexico during the Pueblo Crisis, 3 Air National Guard units were federalized, and placed on active duty there. One of these was the 138th TFS of the New York ANG. Here we can see on of their Sabre Hogs heading out to the bombing range for practice -

Decals on drop tanks....
Wrench replied to Wrench's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
apparently .... the coords are on the tank mesh! I had to d/l my VC13 Scooter to see how I did it last time!!! and it works .......................... now, off to make 2 full sets of serial number decals -- old style (0-*****) and VN era types (af/number/3large digits) -
Decals on drop tanks....
Wrench posted a topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
for the life of me, I can't remember the pathway for getting the coordinates right!!! I've done it before, on Scooters, but am drawing a blank is it left/right, up down to the world center of the model, or the mesh? (ie: 0.0, 0.0 and move accordingly). my mind has just gone ppphhhhffffffffttttttt on this one!! -

SF2 McDonnell F2H-2 Banshee by Veltro2K 9/15/2020 -For SF2, Any and All (Full 5 Merged Recommended) "Quarantine Approved - Essential Mods" This package contains a new aircraft, the McDonnell F2H-2 Banshee, as used by the US Navy during the Korean War. That being said, this package =ONLY= contains those units that participated in the conflict. There are 4 units (skins) included in this package. In chronological order: VF-172 Blue Bolts (USS ESSEX, 1951) VF-11 Red Rippers (USS KEARSARGE, 1952) VF-22 Cavaliers - VF-62 Gladiators (both aboard USS LAKE CHAMPLAIN, 1953) The textureset inis for all skins has a listing of the exact dates of deployment. All markings, excepting squadron color bands, are decals. Decal Randomization is TRUE. 24 Modex numbers are supplied for each unit. The 24 'data plaque" BuNums are a pool shared among all the aircraft. Those units that are listed in the game's Squadron List, have their Displayed Name activated by my Patent-Pending 'Fake SqTail' decal. All weapons, sounds, and a pilot figure are supplied. New "box-art" style hangar and loading screens are also included, as is a spare "photo" style loading screen if you get bored with the painting. Wingfold and canopy operations are the Standard Animation Keystrokes (tm), Shift/0 (zero) for the canopy, and Shift/9 for the wings. When in-game, you'll see F2H-2 Banshee (V2K) on the aircraft selection drop-down list. This will diferentiate it from any other Banshees you may, or may not, have. 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. Also, =PLEASE= read the 'Notes' section for other IMPORTANT information on in-game operations. Happy Landings! Wrench Kevin Stein -
Yankee Air Pirate Exp. sets
Wrench replied to amariani's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
if so, that opens several possibilities for adding some aircraft that are missing from that era's hangar : A-1E and T-28s; All the FMs will need rebuilding from SF1 to SF2 standards, as I'm sure other little tweeks and twerks. IF it remains freeware, that is. -
