Here is the Deal. We Need Money...Bad!
Dave replied to Dave's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
Thank you very much all. -
I understand completely Jarhead. I speaking to the non active posters here. I can give you a list of names I see here all the time just lurking. If they would only step up and help we would be good.

That's a good idea Gun, I will ask Erik. Since CA has been around our biggest expense has always been the downloads section. It has been our biggest draw. It is still popular even though membership is down. My only issue is that even with this plea people can get something for free and not care what happens afterwards they will ignore this. I see a ton of regular members here with no posts but they are always in the d/l section. If we even got 5% of them to subscribe we would be good for a long time.

File Name: SF2 Falklands Mod File Submitter: Dave File Submitted: 26 December 2010 File Category: User Made Campaigns -------------------------------------------------- Kesselbrut's "Falklands '82" (Operation Corporate) for Strike Fighters 2 -------------------------------------------------- This package contains an updated version of Kesselbrut's "Falklands '82" (Operation Corporate) mod package for Strike Fighters 2 (SF2). In addition to making the original mod compatible with SF2, this updated version also adds a number of other mods that were released in the years subsequent to Kesselbrut's original effort. This update pack should be applied to SF2 or SF2V installations (or merged installs incorporating SF2 or SF2V) that are patched to the Dec2009 or later patch level, including Feb2010, Mar2010, May2010, Jun2010, Dec2010, Jan2011, May2011, Jun2011, Jul2011, or Aug2011. If you are running SF2 or SF2V at an earlier patch level and do NOT intend to update to one of the later patch levels mentioned above, you should NOT install this mod package. Note that this is a COMPLETE mod package. There is no need to install the original "Falklands '82" mod for SFP1. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Installation ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Before installing this mod package, please ensure the installation of Strike Fighters 2 that you intend to use is updated to at least the Dec2009 patch level (the Jun2010 patch level is recommended). The latest patches for Strike Fighters 2 can be downloaded from ThirdWire: http://thirdwire.com/downloads.htm Also, please be aware that the mod requires either the original Strike Fighters 2 (with the Desert terrain) or Strike Fighters 2: Vietnam (SF2V). If you will be using SF2V as a mod base, then you will have one additional step at the end of the installation process. The main installation process consists of three main steps. Please read the following instructions carefully and follow them religiously. If you wind up with a non-working mod install, then you likely failed to follow the instructions properly. NOTE: If you installed the verison of this mod released in Dec. 2010, we recommend that you NOT install this newer version over that older version. Instead, start from scratch, using a fresh/new Mod Folder. STEP 1: PREPARE THE MOD FOLDER This mod requires a separate mod folder. Please do not attempt to install this mod over or combine it with other mods such as NATO Fighter 4+ or the SF2V Expansion Pack. - Open your SF2 Installation directory and make a copy of StrikeFighters2.exe or StrikeFighters2 Vietnam.exe, Rename the copy to StrikeFighters2_Falklands.exe (or whatever unique name you prefer). - Run the newly copied and renamed .EXE file, then exit back out to the Windows desktop after navigating through a few menus. A custom Mod Folder for your Falklands'82 mod install will have been created in one of these locations: Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\[username]\My Documents\ThirdWire\[YourModFolder] Windows Vista: \Users\[username]\Saved Games\ThirdWire\[YourModFolder] Windows 7: \Users\[username]\Saved Games\ThirdWire\[YourModFolder] ...where [YourModFolder] matches the name of the copied .EXE file that you created. - Open your Mod Folder and delete the \Objects sub-directory (including everything in it). Now you're ready to install the Falklands'82 mod proper. STEP 2: INSTALL MAIN COMPONENTS TO MOD FOLDER This is the easiest step. - Unpack the SF2_Falklands82.7z archive package to a location on your hard drive. - Move the contents of the \To_Mod_Folder directory to your Mod Folder (created in Step 1 above). If you've moved everything correctly, you should have a new \Objects sub-directory in your Mod Folder, along with a few new other sub-directories. STEP 3: EDIT OPTIONS.INI This last step involves a bit of text editing, so please pay attention. Open the Options.INI in your Mod Folder. Locate the "Instant Action" section and replace it with the following: [instantAction] AircraftType=HarrierFRS1 MissionMap=Malvinas StartTime=15:15:00 StartDate=05/21/1982 StartTimeDeviation=10 TextureSet=0 NationalMarking=0 SquadronMarking=0 AircraftNumber=0 KillMarking=0 Just below the "Instant Action" section is the "Single Mission" section. At minimum you should change the EndYear= statement to 1983 or higher. I recommend setting the StartYear= and EndYear= as follows: StartYear=1982 EndYear=1983 Save your changes and close the Options.INI file. STEP 4: Optional Step for SF2V Users This last step is for those who are using Strike Fighters 2: Vietnam (SF2V) as mod base instead of the original Strike Fighters 2 (with the Desert terrain). If your SF2 installation does not include the original SF2 (with the Desert terrain) and you're using SF2V as a mod base, then you must swap out terrain .INIs so that your MALVINAS.INI points to the correct .CAT file. - In your SF2 Mod Folder, open the \Terrains\Malvinas folder. Delete the file Malvinas.ini. - In \Terrains\Malvinas\Alt you will find the file Malvinas_vietnamsea.INI. Copy it to the \Terrains\Malvinas folder (just above the \Alt sub-folder) and re-name it to Malvinas.ini (thus replacing the file you deleted just above). THAT'S IT. Your "Falklands'82 for SF2" mod should now be ready to use. You may consider installing some of the "optional" items as described in the next section. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Installation of Optional Items ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Included in the \Optional folder are a number of optional items that you may consider installing (if your installation has the required base installation items). - Canberra62: this is an alternate version of the Canberra B.Mk62, based on the 3rdWire Canberra B.6 model. In order to use this model your base installation must include SF2E Expansion Pack 2. TO INSTALL, simply drag the \Canberra62 folder to your SF2 Mod Folder and drop it in \Objects\Aircraft. The campaigns will automatically start using this newer model. - Harrier3: this is an alternate version of the Harrier GR.3, based on the 3rdWire model included in SF2E. In order to use this model your base installation must include SF2E. TO INSTALL, simply drag the \Harrier3 folder to your SF2 Mod Folder and drop it in \Objects\Aircraft. The campaigns will automatically start using this newer model. - IAI-Dagger: this is an alternate version of the IAI Dagger, based on the 3rdWire Nesher model included in SF2I. In order to use this model your base installation must include SF2I. TO INSTALL, simply drag the \IAI-Dagger folder to your SF2 Mod Folder and drop it in \Objects\Aircraft. The campaigns will automatically start using this newer model. - Mirage IIIEA: this folder contains an alternate Mirage IIIEA cockpit based on the 3rdWire Mirage IIICJ cockpit from SF2I. It is a replacement for the stock cockpit of the Mirage IIIEA and requires SF2I to be part of the installation. TO INSTALL, simply drag the \MirageIIIEA folder to your SF2 Mod Folder and drop it in \Objects\Aircraft, allowing it to overwrite file as prompted. - WaterNormal: this folder contains various alternate WaterNormal.BMP files, which can be used to change the texture or appearance of the water in the Malvinas terrain. To use any of these alternate .BMPs, simply drag the file you wish to use to your SF2 Mod Folder and drop it in the \Terrains\Malvinas folder, allowing it to overwrite the version already there. Note: the default/original .BMP used by this mod is in the \3rdwire sub-folder. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Game Play Notes (PLEASE READ) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ There are some important things you should know about playing this updated version of the "Falklands '82" mod. 1. Single Missions vs Campaigns Like the original "Falklands '82" for SFP1, the Malvinas terrain here is set up to use different years for Single Missions (i.e., "Create Mission") and the Campaigns. Campaigns: both campaigns automatically start on May 1, 1982, and continue into early June 1982. Single Missions: when flying Single Missions, set the "Mission Date" to 1983. If you set the date to 1982, you may get a CTD (crash to desktop) when attempting to start the mission. As Kesselbrut noted in his original ReadMe, game-generated single missions ("Create Mission") should be flown in 1983 because the only British air base on the islands was build in late May. If you have a mission date before May 29, 1982, the game will CTD becaue there is no air base for British aircraft to use. User-created missions (with a 1982 mission date) will work normally. British aircraft will still have to take off from a carrier before May 29, though, even in user-created missions for 1982. 2. Recommended "Gameplay Options" Some of the island-based airfields are a bit rough. It is highly recommended that you change the "Landing" Game Play option to "Normal" or "Easy." If you use a "Hard" landing option setting, you may see aircraft exploding on the runway either because they start without landing gear deployed or because they lose their landing gear halfway down the runway. This is esp. true of Stanley Airfield. You can fly all fixed wing aircraft on "Hard" or "Normal" Flight Model. Helicopters are best flown on "Normal" Flight Model. 3. Canberra Bomb Sight In the Canberra, you can switch between Pilot and Bombadier with "Hook" key to use the bomb sight. 4. Carriers All Carriers have zero speed. Were they allowed to sail normally, they would cruise wildly through the ship formations. 5. Infanty Speed Note from Kesselbrut: "The infantry units have too much speed - when I use normal Footslogger speed there are no ground battles." ~~~~~~~~~~ Known Bugs ~~~~~~~~~~ There are a few bugs (none "showstoppers") that you should be aware of. 1. Stanley Airfield The terrain on which this airfield resides is treacherous. The best we've been able to do is implement workarounds for this airfield's several problems. First, as noted above, set your "Landing" Game Play option to "Normal" or "Easy." Second, you will find that you will start missions off center on the runway. This is done to prevent you from losing your landing gear half-way down the runway. Do not veer across the center line when taking off (stay in your lane). Third, even despite doing the above, you will notice that your aircraft is slow to accelerate and tends to bounce around a bit. You may even need to run off the end of the runway to get airborne. With the exception of Skyhawks (whose spindly landing gear has real problems with this runway), all Argentine aircraft can be used from Stanley. Historically, though, the runway was off-limits to the fast jets -- e.g., A-4s and Mirages. 2. Non-paved Airfields When taking off from non-paved airfields -- esp. the Port San Carlos FOB used by Harriers -- you will notice your landing gear sinking into the ground a bit. Also, some airfield runway textures may not appear. These are other quirks of the Malvinas terrain in SF2 that we have been unable to fix. 3. Rapier SAMs The British Rapier SAMs will not fire in the Operation Corporate campaign due to a bug in SF2 that prevents the game from handling Blue-side static SAMs correctly. 4. Helicopters & AI Pilots All helicopters in this mod have been made flyable. Set the "Flight Model in Game Play Options to "Normal, and use your thrust vectoring controls in conjunction with the standard SF2 flight controls to maneuver and fly the helos. At the end of the day, though, Strike Fighters is NOT a helicopter sim. That means helo flight models are rough, unrealistic, and borderline unstable. It also means that AI helo pilots can occasionally run into difficulties, esp. when trying to land these things. Until someone creates better helo flight models for SF2 (or TK updates the ThirdWire flight engine to accommodate helicopters), that's just the way it is. If you don't like the way the helos fly, then don't fly them. 5. Comrpnt's Missions Comrpnt created an excellent set of historical missions for his "Falklands Mod & Mission Pack." While these work fine with the original "Falklands '82" mod for SFP1, we encountered significant problems when attempting to get them to work in SF2. In particular, there appears to be a bug in SF2 that causes the game to refuse to start an aircraft on the ground at an offset east or west of the defined center of the airfield target area. This bug manifests itself only in user-created single missions for some reason. The consequence is that many aircraft in comrpnt's missions have problems taking off -- esp. from the Hermes or Stanley Airfield -- because they start on the ground in the wrong position relative to the runway (whether it be a carrier deck or a land-based runway). As we could not resolve these problems or find an acceptable workaround for this bug, we have not included comrpnt's missions (though we have implemented other parts of his Falklands mod pack). ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Changes, Fixes, & Additions ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This mod was released in December 2010. In January 2012 it was updated with the following fixes and changes: Fixes & Updates --------------- - campaigns overhauled, with revised AirOffensive schedules, unit start dates, and other minor changes - variant of Argentinean campaign added (Operation Rosario), which bases 3 Esq. de Caza y Ataque (A-4Q) on the 25 de Mayo aircraft carrier instead of Rio Grande Airbase - Operation Corporate campaign now allows players to fly the small detach- ment of 1 Sq.

Yeah that is one good way get into trouble here at WPAFB. I used to be able to do that, not anymore. -
KJ I am going to have to ask Erik on how all that works. Now we won't shut down CA just the downloads will be throttled back because that is 90% of our operating costs. To have that unlimited bandwidth etc it is extremely expensive and we arent getting the income to download ratio we need.

July 2011 This is an update for the whole Voodoo series for SF2X june patch (with or without expansion packs) Installation: - Unzip the file - Copy Object, Effects and Sounds folders into your mods folder (for example: C:\Documents and Settings\MyAccount\Documents\ThirdWire\StrikeFighters2 Europe\...). Credits: Specific instructions, infos and credits for each model are listed into each aircraft folder. Test team for this update: Spillone 104, paulopanz and X RAY Thanks to Dave for the support during the update of this megapack Every part of this pack can be used into others mods only if the final product is free of charge for the community and proper credits are listed into the product itself. Thank you Enrico "ErikGen" Gennari From Previous Version ______________________________ Credits: Column5 for the FM Spillone104 for the J57 sound NGHENGO, bobrock, Canadair, triplethr3at as test team Dave and Jimmybib for decals and skins and various support. Again a special thanks to Dave who strongly wanted this airplane to which initially I was not so interested. I hope I did forget no one. This version has tanks built in; with the tank skins in the right aircraft skin folder . 3D models and Skins are from mppd. This should also fix the shadow issues. Also fixes some weps position issues. To install just put into your SF2 saved games/thirdwire/StrikeFighters2 and let it overwrite folders as needed. In the F-101A/C folders is a folder call 3 gun version and that is for anyone who wants to use the version that was used in Europe that had the a gun removed and replaced with TACAN equipment. -
