Spinners

Allen, you are now to be known as 'Gladiator Maximus'

A little update and a chance to bring it into the Spinners' 'what if' hangar. This features new decals (inc. new serial numbers) and, as suggested by Shaolin, a sharkmouth decal has been added. In addition, the asymetric Sidewinder pylons have been removed from the inner wing pylons and twin Sidewinder pylons have been added to the outboard pylons.

Roger, copy that!

Thanks Derk - not only have I got it but I was looking at it the other night! It's a brilliant article and I just wish 'Strike Fighters' was around back then!

Just a little update for SF2 plus new decals using serial numbers from that era.

View File [Fictional] Westland Whirlwind FB.2 Westland Whirlwind FB.2 for STRIKE FIGHTERS 2 This is a very simple mod of the prolific Veltro2K's Whirlwind to give a fictional Whirldwind FB.2 in service with No.6 Squadron (the famous 'Flying Can-Openers') of the RAF's Desert Air Force. This mod is meant for SF2 and, ideally, you'll have Expansion Pack 1 for the stock 250lb bombs. More experienced WW2 modders will have access to more correct bombs but I just wanted this to be as simple as possible to install. This is an older 3D model that has a few problems that will not get fixed now so it's all released 'as is'. One possible problem that could be fixed by the community here is what sounds like the undercarriage collapsing when working up to rotation speed but this rarely affects your ability to complete the mission. I've played around with it and copied other aircraft's landing gear for ideas but I can't fix it. INSTRUCTIONS 1. From the AIRCRAFT folder drag and drop the WhirlwindFB2 folder into your Aircraft folder. 2. From the DECALS folder drag and drop the WhirlwindFB2 folder into your Decals folder. That's it! But you may need to add a suitable WW2 Pilot (not supplied). CREDITS As always, thanks to Third Wire for a great little game/sim. Special thanks to Veltro2K for all of his delightfully esoteric aircraft, this is just one of many! Check them out! Thanks also to Syrinx for the Whirlwind template which I lost back in 2016 when I suffered a complete data loss : ( And, finally, thanks to everyone in the wider Third Wire community.

Indicates that you don't have the LOD's being asked for. Check this first.

I already have. A position in the Observer Corps awaits you...

Updated to SF2 standards - SF2:V required for A-7B LOD's (not included).

Nice shot!

It certainly does freshen up an SF2 only install. Great work!

Best directed to the ID(io)T's I would have thought.
