I'm after a font...
Spinners posted a topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mods/Skinning Discussion
Could someone kindly steer me towards a good generic 'stencil' font - one that does letters and numbers. I've got two WW2 USAAC ones but the letters look nothing like the numbers. Also, is there a hebrew font? -

Yes, it's worth a visit there and I think that's where I got my USAAF serial font but when doing letters and numbers the numbers are stencilled but the letters are not. -

Hi Greendog. There was a TSR.2 in development but 'real life' issues have prevented it in coming to fruition and there is no release date. -

Modders: What Do You Concentrate On?
Spinners replied to Dave's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
I like making decals mainly for post-war RAF stuff but I have done a few other bits and pieces. Just recently I've done a few skins by making templates from the skin template and then building up a few simple layers, nothing too detailed but enough to do a one-off 'what if' skin. BTW a big thank you to the modders (like Julhelm and Russo2004, for example) who release templates for their models - very generous! -

[Fictional] RAAF RA-5C Vigilante
Spinners posted a topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - File Announcements
View File [Fictional] RAAF RA-5C Vigilante North American A-5D Vigilante for STRIKE FIGHTERS 2 This is a simple mod of Julhelm's RA-5C to create a fictional A-5D Vigilante in service with the Royal Australian Air Force in the 1964-1989 timeline. Some of you might be aware that an Aussie Vigilante was seriously considered in the early 1960's as a replacement for the RAAF's outdated Canberra bombers but the Menzies government eventually chose the F-111C in October 1963. INSTRUCTIONS 1. From the AIRCRAFT folder drag and drop the A-5D folder into your Aircraft folder. 2. From the DECALS folder drag and drop the A-5D folder into your Decals folder. 3. From the WEAPONS folder drag and drop the A-5D_FUEL folder into your Weapons folder. That's it! CREDITS As always, thanks to Third Wire for a great little game/sim. Special thanks to Julhelm for bringing the awesome Vigilante to the SF universe! And, finally, thanks to everyone in the wider Third Wire community.

decals question
Spinners replied to Canadair's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
It's interesting to note that stock SF2 series aircraft do not use the Decals/XXX/XXX format - just like the old series in fact. Adding decals in extra folders for aircraft type and for each individual skin is a good way to get the size of your installs up . For example, if you use an aircraft identication letter (e.g. like the stock RAF_Letter) you have to put it into every decals folder that requires it! So instead of having 26 decals you'd need 52 or 78 or 104 just for one aircraft type! Then you might have ten such aircraft asking for that type of decal ! BTW decals.ini's will quite happily work in a hybrid way going straight to a general Decals folder or to a Decals/XXX/XXX folder. -
