Another thread hijack (sorry Pete!) Snapper -- why not use the YAP Trojan? I know there's some differences, but it should be close enough and is readily available and (almost) free use.

Just a reminder to the original poster, admitting to piracy is grounds for permanent banning. I'm gonna let you slide on this ONE TIME, because it's obvious you didn't read the member agreement when signing up for Combat Ace. Consider this your warning; I'm not making a mark against you, just a verbal. With that, I'm locking this thread

View File SF2 DHC-6 Twin Otter Upgrade Pack SF2 DHC-6 Twin Otter Upgrade Pack 5/7/2026 -For SF2, Any and All Another 'Found in the Archives' mod I'd forgotten about!! I'd started this in February 2020, and it must have slipped into a crevasse during a ice quake! This is a upgrade pack for the de Havilland Canada DHC-6 Twin Otter originally for SF1 by Tracker. THIS version will replace any and all other previous versions of this aircraft mod. It is the complete aircraft, with all sorts of goodies. I've collected all the various skins, revamped the FM (it's now more STOL-ish), refreshed the decals where necessary, and so forth. You'll get a bunch of skins, Argentina: "Antarctic scheme" "LADE" (state run FAA airline/cargo carrier) Canada: RCAF 440 Sqdn, (71-72) RCAF 440 Sqdn (75-80) RCAF 440 Sqdn (1999) Transport Canada (?) Canadian Coast Guard RCAF 440 Sqdn (2018) Generic: "Everywhere Airlines Shuttle" (*tagged "Canada" as home country) All markings are decals for the most part: if not, the "fake insignia trick' has been used to activate the displayed nation name. All serials are historically correct. The 12 EA Shuttle registration numbers ARE historically accurate for Twin Otters used around the world. Decal Randomization is TRUE. As this is more of an 'eye candy' aircraft, there are no hangar or loading screens. There are several animations for the various doors and hatches. They are: Pilot's door: Shift/1 Co-Pilots' door: Shift/2 Luggage Compartment: Shift/4 Passenger Door: Control/O (oh - aka 'bomb bay') It's also set up to drop paratroopers and/or skydivers. The para (single) is included. 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. PLEASE read them, before installing!!! When possible, all original read me's have been included. Please read the Notes section for any other useless bits of information, and full credits. Please also take note of changes in the Standard Disclaimer in the "Legal BS" section at the bottom. Happy Landings! Kevin Stein Submitter Wrench Submitted 05/10/2026 Category Other Origin  

AFAIK, there's no way to have a briefing text within the game itself. YAP got around that by having seperate PDF descriptions that you read outside the game.

Yes, Indeed! This is why we have the Screenshots Forum nice pics though!

I believe Gepard may be right; you STILL need the WeaponsData.ini and WeaponsData.dat files WITHIN the /Weapons folder, AND you'll still need to use the 3W Weapons Editor to add the new weapons, even though you can just toss the folders in the main /Weapons folder. There IS a tutorial on how to do this in Knowledge Base. Here's a link to the whole sub-Forum https://combatace.com/forums/forum/366-adding-weapons/

Interesting ... be good to find out which!! That skin looks REALLY good!!

IIRC, 1stGens (SFP1, WoE, WoI, WoV) didn't use the 'plug and play' dropping in of folders. Originally. I haven't played them on forever, BUT I do have a WoE on this machine (but it don't like running in Win 11) I !!THINK!!! that with the 08 patch you CAN, so my reccomendation is to either create a /Weapons folder within the Object folder --- see image below -- and see if it works. If it don't, time to evolve to SF2

IF an SF3 were to magically appear, and it was locked for mods; he'd just be cutting his own throat. Like Flanker, the survival is it's openness to modding What is happening, as posted above, is just some kind of technical glitch (at least the hatch didn't blow). In other thoughts, seeing those screenies from the mobile game, if that Entendard ever got release as an SF DLC, I wonder how it would be?

DAT bird

the only reason WoE on the stream is that it's not published by TK, but from the original distrubution company. Odd that SF1 isn't there either

It's how the games are built since Day 1 -- you'll ALWAYS have access to ALL aircraft from ALL the SF2 exes. Hence, the term "merged installs" (this IS covered in the Knowledge Base, by the way). you can easily delete the offending aircraft folders from the /Objects/Aircraft from the SF2:Europe mod folder. With a little bit of luck, they won't repopulate. Also, making sure whichever map you're flying on has a "Limited Nations = TRUE" and a list of said nations. GermanyCE already has that, as does VietnamSEA. Or you can do what most people do, just ignore them

doppy me .. forgot the coordinates .. (you might need to change the path when you've got all the other decals done) [Decal009] MeshName=fuselage_front DecalLevel=0 DecalFacing=RIGHT FilenameFormat=F-100C/KsANG Position=4.50,-0.45 Rotation=0.0 Scale=3.75 DecalMaxLOD=3 same for the left side. good thing about this is, it's a One Piece decal, and open one more that can be added to Fuselage_front if you need to put the squadron patch on.

whoops -- forget to add the tga. If you can use it, cool. If not, it's cool too! Painted in the correct Insignia Blue. The opacity is 90% to test it, I just used the stock skin and decals. KsANG.7z

What you need to find is a good, fairly large side view of the swoosh. From that , it's pretty easy to make a decal from it the nose decal is easy -- knocked that in 2 minutes!

thought I'd seen a listing for the Kansas ANG Huns... the 127th IS listed in the squadron list ini. Those are stock decals, it's just missing the nose markings and the fuselage swoosh. This should save you some decal making time The same decals are used on the F-100C (no suffix) and the F-100C_65

Have you check at "Forgotten Jets"? https://forgottenjets.warbirdsresourcegroup.org/index.html or Joe Baugher's Page (he passed a few years ago, but Thank the Maker the pages are still there). You'll have to go with approx years the birds were made... https://www.aircraftinformation.info/JB_AIF/index.htm

The rest of us make mods.

It's actually pretty easy ... in the textureset ini, you add this line as below --> (f-104c used as example) So, for the first NMF ANG skin would read StartDefaultDate=1961 For the 2nd skin, StartDefaultDate=1966 (I gave it a little extra, you can still put 1965 there if you want) and so on for the others. Try to avoid overlaps, if possible (ie: whole years as I've never tested calling a specific date) Mind you, the only major drawback is, those skins with official dates WILL take precedent over any stock ones without. So, they automatically are the 1st available on the drop-down list.

Looking good! Have (and had) a lot of relatives in Kansas, mostly Topeka. I assume you'll be using the 'sf2 date switch' for the year changes? I'm sure I've seen a Hun skin with the wrap-around nose colors ... just can't remember where.

Version 2.0 of the terrain uploaded!! Lots of changes!! Please Read the enclosed readme file

You're going to be missed!! But, PLEASE!! do stop by once in a while and say "hello"!!! good luck, and long life my friend!!
