My next terrain project
Wrench replied to Gepard's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
Don't I know that one!!! On the MidWest USA map, EVERYTHING had to be done by hand; all the rivers, lakes and such like. I feel your pain, brother!!! -
as that's the F-106 pit by Pasko, "smoothing polys" was not a thing back then (expecially on his work) Didn't Eagle use Stary's F-94 pit for Scorpion?

I saw that too ... thought it looked really cool!!!! Nice modeling job, that

Strike Fighters 2 Screenshots Thread

while checking (and adjusting) the wing tip lights on Yakarov's NEW Sabre Dingo, as I rolled around the bird, caught this image of the newly risen Moon. I thought it was coooooooooooool!!! -
here's a quickie fix for the wing tip position lights . just copy/paste the text below OVER the existing statements: [LeftPositionLight] SystemType=LIGHT Position=-6.0,-2.413,-0.45 LightSrcOffset=-0.04,0.04,0.00 Color=0.88,0.25,0.25 Brightness=0.03 LightSrcRange=0.35 CanFlash=FALSE [RightPositionLight] SystemType=LIGHT Position=6.0,-2.413,-0.45 LightSrcOffset=0.04,0.04,0.00 Color=0.25,0.88,0.25 Brightness=0.03 LightSrcRange=0.35 CanFlash=FALSE I LIKE this little bird!!!!

well, there's kind of a problem with that ... assigning historical SAM units (types) to specific areas. Your RWR won't work. When placing correct/specific units (like I did for the Persian Gulf & Cuba maps) the game engine for some unfathomable stupid reason, can's "see" them with your on-board RWR gauge. You'll also get NO audio warnings either. It's been a glitch for, at least, 10+ years that I know of. So, we have to let the lame-ass engine populate by guess and by golly (not even going to mention NIKE radars showing up with HAWK or other Blue SAMS)

BaseSize parameter for carriers
Wrench replied to Svetlin's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
which birds get parked are set in the airfield's ini, by wingspan. So, yes, you can have fer instance, an-12s or c-119 or that type on a runway 3 below, is from the runway3 ini (notaitons of acutal parking slots removed for clarity. also, the chance percentage has been modified by me to have more parked birds) -
BaseSize parameter for carriers
Wrench replied to Svetlin's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
I would base it on flight deck size ... the stock Essex (SCB-125) is rated SMALL. This is correct, as they couldn't launch or recover Phantoms for various reasons (cat stroke, arrester cable strength) (had a friend who's dad served on the Coral Sea -- they even had problems launching at a full load) The stock Kittyhawk's (CVA-63) are classed as medium, as are the Nimitz class. You don't want to go Large, as that's for things like An-12s, B-52s, Tu-95s, etc The "rough fields" you taking about is the Runway3, is classed as SMALL -- and very stupidly created for this game. I mean, who the fuck is going to operated jets, with low-slung intakes just asking for FOD. (that's why I've repaved them on most of my terrain mods) runway 2, the part paved, part marston matt, is classed as MEDIUM, even though it's the smallest of those (1,5,6) So to conclude; if the CDG is near Essex size, use SMALL in the Entendar's data ini -
seeing Crusader's post got me thinking ... so, I went and checked my "time in service" holy crap!! only 2 days difference!!! so, that settles it ----- the lunatics ARE running the asylum!!!

Congrats!!!! (for sticking around with us lunatics for so long!!!)

ask away, brother, we're here to help! I'm trying o remember how I swapped out the secondary ADI on the F-104 pit and turned it into an RWR. I know it was a simple text edit of the cockpit ini, and adding the RWR bmp
