if someone finds a later model cockpit, go for it. I just basically wanted to get the templates out, so people much better than I at LW camo, can have a wack at it! Unless we can bribe Stary to make one .....?????????????? AFAIK, all we have is Russ' Emil and Wolf's Fredrick -- which is VERY old!! (and may even be an FW pit!!)

All right, lads! Time to leave!! Hit the silk!!

Good Catch! They're showing up (and I didn't notice!!), because I moved the pit aft to get the AFR probe in the correct position, as viewed from inside the cockpit.

the ship's destroyed effect is set to one of the nuke blasts. They go up like small nukes. all it takes is a rapid release/collapse of the pressure vessel, and any little spark will set the aerosols off. Hence, no destroyed model needed <evil grin> ------ that's Ras Laffan , Qatar, on the Persian Gulf terrain (where the ships are too -- in the included /Ground object folder)

This pack contains skins/decals for the following units: 435th TFS, 479th TFW, as based at Udorn RTAFB (and attached to 8th TFW) Post-Vietnam: 198th FIS, Pureto Rico ANG The PRANG skin has a start date of 1969, and will automaticly switch. All aircraft are in standard SEA camo finish. All markings are decals, and decal Randomization is TRUE. 100% historical serial numbers (all 77, new decals) are included. Nose Art decals are included for the 435th Skin; the aircraft are 'named' in the numbers.lst. The PRANG skin, which only uses 26 numbers, are in the later (post-10 years operational) style. The inis included are: Data.ini (operable canopy, Standard Keystroke, Shift/0) Loadout ini main ini Hangar screen (an SF2 revamped version of the 1stGen's F-104G) Loadout image (bmp) Avionics. ini (see "Notes" for more information) Cockpit.ini, (see "Notes" for more information) Please note, the cockpit itself is =NOT= included -- you'll have to find the F-104G's pit on your own. When in game, just to be sure, you'll see "F-104C Starfighter (66) (3W)". This will differentiate it from the 1stGen mods (see below, as an added safety precaution). When installing, just allow the overwrite of the inis. I've fiddled with the skin listing order, to make them more user friendly. Also included is my (patent pending) 'One Click Restore Main ini' for when the game engine ™ rewirtes it. Also, if you have ANY of the original Ajundair F-104Cs ported over to SF2, you are ADIVSED to rename ALL the folders (aircraft and decals), back them up or remove them from your mods folder BEFORE installing this package. There is a distinct possibility that this mod may merge with them, and really and truely foul things up! *REMINDER!!! You =MUST= have DLC #28 to access the aircraft's LOD.* As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. So, please -READ- them!! Happy Hunting!

don't forget the LNG tanker, and the spherical storage tanks

NP brother!!

I know I did the SF2 GR.1. I don't think there's much difference in the mapping, other than perhaps the nose map? It might be adaptable?? EDIT: only the _6 map is different, as the GR1 doesn't have it. that must be the nose. all the other 5 are the same (checked against my templates here)

However, with a simple rename of the skin maps, it can be used on the standard or garden Variety F-104C included in DLC 28. It is NOT for use on the F-104C_66. That will be covered in another mod pak See "Notes" for more information on skin renaming.

shouldn't be a problem!

all routes run in both directions. this in normal, and controlled by the game engine so, for instance your anti-shipping mission, the route runs from Cuxhaven to Hamburg. Sometimes the ships will run from Hamburg to Cuxhaven. Same with trucks. meaning: the start and end points are switched at random in single missions oh, and to answer the "how many routes can I have", iirc, it used to be up to 999 (!!!!), so there's no worries there :)

indeed! very nice!!

their Zippers are coming soon, too --------- Hunting Charlie's trucks in '64 (btw, the 'plane jane' DLC 28 F-104C is incorrect for VN usage -- they'd have the AFR probes)

thanks for posting that link to "High Flight". Some of our local TV stations used to play it. one of my fondest childhood memories, was seeing that version in the 1960s

damn strange Oceanic 815, anyone?

right next to mine! that's what I thought too!!

oh, so it's normal sized. Remember, ALL stock terrains a 63% of reality. Which is why I use 110 -120 %, like for the Norway map mountains can easily be drawn in after exportation of the height filed as bitmap.

DLC= Down Loadable Content; purchasable from the 3rd Wire site (at a VERY reasonable price) there are currently 29 DLC modules. Hop on over to the 3rd Wire site, and browse to answer the other question,, the DLC Mirage III0 is also a 3rd Wire product (obviously, the Aussie Mirages). IIRC, 3 different versions and at least 4 skins

yes, the close-in-weapons systems on ship (and also SAMs and other A-A misslies) can now target incoming missiles. Also, the Player can now target cruise missles (Phoenix vs AS-4, for example)

having a look at the DLC Zipper Cs ... no sense in wasting Dave's decals, eh?? (gotta take a break for terrain and ww2 modding. you can only do so much..)

no you'd need to physically make a new gauge in the cockpit meshes in 3ds MAX, thereby created an entirely new cockpit
