I know that this info has been useful to several people. Could it please be added to to KB for future reference. Great news for those of you who, like myself, had given up hope of fixing the water shimmering issue. I've finally cracked it! What I did was a clean install of WOI, I then extracted and checked the Israel Data.ini and noted the following parameters: [HeightOffset] LowDetailMesh=-1.0 WaterMesh=1.0 With the default setting I was getting a bit of shimmering but not too distracting, then I applied the latest patch, the result: horrible shimmering. I checked the new Israel Data.ini after the patch and found that the parameters had been lowered to those recommended in the Combat Ace KB, i.e. [HeightOffset] LowDetailMesh=-1.0 WaterMesh=0.8 So I decided to go against received wisdom and increase the parameter, finally arriving at the following: [HeightOffset] LowDetailMesh=-1.0 WaterMesh=1.8

http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?showtopic=32500 its been there for awhile. I will add your stuff to it though.

Gerwin I like the extractor but is there anyway we can have it like the old extractor where we can pick and choose what files we want to extract? SF2 has 4 Objectdata. cat files and for someone who may have limited hard drive space, unpacking all 4 just to look for a single file would not be an option.

I will think about it, depends on how popular it is. If not then the modder will have to make sure in the readme, it stated which sim it is for. And as we all know, everyone reads the readmes.

This guy is the firm rock behind the 3rd Wire modding seen. Otto has a keen eye for every little detail and turns great mods into awesome mods. Always ready to help out and a good person to talk to when you need someone too. Happy Birthday Otto!

Fates turned 40 Trees should live that long. Hope you guys have a great birthday.

Happy Birthday to Erwin and to Littlesmoke too.

We wondered where you were you slacker..

Right now we are waiting for Jat to get her skinned. But its also the holidays guys. So production on alot of stuff has slowed down.

Rovert the cure is in the Knowledge Base. http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?showtopic=22084

I think its your graphics cards. Also the A was able to carry wing pylons (for fuel) but rarely did, relying on the wingtip-mounted Sidewinders as their sole armament.

Sidd you have to pull any duty of the next few days? I drew the on call controller for the next 4 days. Just like I did over Thanksgiving. Hopefully is much more quiet than it was then. (Terror attacks in India for those who don't recall the time frame.)

No I am the who can't spell.

"We have been hood winked, bamboozaled. We didn't land on 3rd Wire, 3rd Wire landed on us." I know, I need help...

I would like to know the same thing. I would also like to add, he has served up patch, after patch, after patch (or service pack if you will) with new stuff everytime.

Gunny's back, back again, Gunny's back, tell a friend.....guess whose back, guess whose back, guess whose back....

That is because you were able to beat them. But now.....

BOB2 is oustanding. I can't stand the IL-2 series anymore after playing BOB2. You have to see the huge dogfights to believe it.

Christmas, Merry, one ea. (You US military guys will get that one.)

Sorry Otto, but you confused me. Keep the file naming as FileName=F-16A\USAFHill\D\serial But the add a folder in the StrikeFighters2\Objects\ and call it Decals\F-16A\USAFHill\D\ ?

Hey all decal file structure change. 1. Make a DECALS folder in Object folder. (for Vista users, make it in the SAVED GAMES/THIRDWIRE/StrikeFighters2) 2. Add decals to the new folder. 3. Change decal.ini to this format: FilenameFormat=USAFL Notice it is no longer..... FilenameFormat=F-101B/15thFIS/D/USAFL Now decals will work. Also 3rd party sounds: 1. Just create a SOUNDS folder (for Vista users, make it in the SAVED GAMES/THIRDWIRE/StrikeFighters2) 2. Add sounds, you are set.
