B-57B default question
Spinners replied to dsawan's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
You've downloaded a mod that used the 'old' B-57 Lod. It looks like the Exp2 uses a new B-57 Lod. You'll need the matching new data.ini and then edit it to suite the Dhimar version. -

Overall bug list for SF2
Spinners replied to Dave's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
Aren't we putting the cart before the horse here? From TK's point of view his obligation is give his customers a nice 'lite' game/sim that just happens to be modular by design and, in it's SF2 guise, encourages us to build up to a quad-merged install with the Expansion Packs. Sweet! So shouldn't we be making/adapting mods to suit the above rather than expect TK to adapt or reverse-engineer his releases for our mods? Only the other day a few peeps here were getting rather rabid about someone living in the past with SF1 and explaining that the game is evolving and that it was a good thing to move forward with it! What's the difference? -

Best engine sounds in the game
Spinners replied to dsawan's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
I like the stock A-4 and F-104 engine sounds and also the VK-1 add-on engine sound. At one time, all of my 'red' aircraft had the VK-1 engine sound and it's really cool to hear the contrasting engine note when they are close, unlike the stock engine sounds. -

It's a great aircraft but way too pedestrian when compared to what the P.1154 would have been like. -

Any suggestions for converting the following Kurnass skins to SF2?
Spinners replied to ace888's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
Hi ace888. You've got nothing to lose by getting GIMP. I find it so easy to use compared to Photoshop Elements and I use it to make all of my decals and to do the little bit of skinning/adapting that I do. As STORM has suggested you'll need to open up each individual BMP from whatever skin you are trying to adapt and also open up the stock BMP to compare and contrast. Even better, you can copy each different BMP (i.e. third-party and stock) into a new file (save as a PSD) to make your first layered templates and then either turn on and turn off a layer to see the layer below or set one layer at, say, 25% opacity to do the compare and contrast thing. That's how I adapted the F-4M RAF Camo skin to make it fit the F-4E. You'll pick it up easy enough. Oh, and the SimmersPaintShop (as recommended by hgbn) is worth a visit as that's where I learned how to make decals - I was totally clueless at first! -

BAC Lightning F.52 (Saudi Arabia)
Spinners posted a topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - File Announcements
File Name: BAC Lightning F.52 (Saudi Arabia) File Submitter: Spinners File Submitted: 11 December 2010 File Category: Lightning BAC Lightning F.Mk 52 for STRIKE FIGHTERS 2 (EP2) This is a very simple mod of the stock Third Wire BAC Lightning F.2 to make the little-known F.Mk 52 version that was exported to Saudi Arabia as part of 'Operation Magic Palm' an early UK supplied defence package that also saw the supply of Lightning T.Mk 54 trainers, Hawker Hunters and Thunderbird SAM's. Four F.Mk 2's were withdrawn from RAF stocks and were refurbished at BAC Warton to F.Mk 52's before being delivered to the Royal Saudi Air Force in 1966 with a fifth F.Mk 52 joining them in 1967. Rather confusingly, four of these five aircraft were re-serialled so there are nine serial numbers included here. INSTRUCTIONS 1. From the AIRCRAFT folder drag and drop the Lightning52 folder into your Aircraft folder. 2. From the DECALS folder drag and drop the Lightning52 folder into your main Decals folder. 3. From the SOUNDS folder drag and drop the Avon_Dry and Avon_Wet files into your main Sounds folder. CREDITS Thanks to Third Wire for the continuous improvement of a great little game/sim. And thanks to everyone in the wider Third Wire community. Regards Spinners Version 2 - 31/12/13 Click here to download this file -
