  9. This week I will upload the skins I made and use for the Paran Air Force. They are all the same style and color: Brown overspray over sand, With a white/blue underside. Like this one: http://combatace.com/files/file/11088-mercenary-sand-scheme-for-f-16a-tw-model-fictional/ I just need to make the readme's and screenshots. (Some models are SF1 based and not updated for SF2) C-130A F-5E F-15A F-16A Mirage-IIIC, -IIIE, -5 MiG-17F MiG-21PFM, MF, MF'75, bis MiG-23M, MF, ML MiG-27 MiG-29A
  10. I think you need an extractor for the series 1 games, like CatPack.
  11. Paran F-15A over Dhimar. (I made a dozen of these fictional desert mercenary skins. Need to upload them one day.)
  12. Update Readme: Jun 2012. "Damage from player missiles has been increased" Thus the same missile is weaker when launched by an AI aricraft. It is not in the WEAPONDATA.INI. I see no changes for AIM-9l/AIM-7F regarding accuracy and explosives there. It is in the game engine. That is why I prefer May 2012 currently.
  13. TFDtool v0.88 is now available. Note: I have made some changes to the data reading and data structure, which should be an improvement, but have not been tested that well. Changes: - Save anytime with S-key. - Supports non-stock Tilemap size in meters. - Supports non-stock Tilemap to Heightmap ratios. - Shows loading progress percentage with TFD and HFD files. 'ESC' key cancels loading. - Flexible memory allocation for most of the Terrain data, which decreases memory use a lot. - Checks Disk Space before exporting images. - A little faster scoll movement when zoomed out. Thanks to SiddDog for trying TFDtool 0.88 past week.
  14. I changed from Pentium G620 (sandy, 2 core) to I3 3220 (ivy, 2 core+HT) earlier this year. But mostly because I gave the G620 system to my folks. Cannot notice the difference in SF2, but I did not expect to see any. FYI Hyperthreading can actually hurt performance if mismanaged, the main game loop needs a real core.
  15. In the 3DSMAX 8 this function sucks AFAIK. saves little, just merges some faces that are better left seperate. I haven't found an easy way for low detail lods in the little time I was modelling vehicles, just two things - remove small details when they are removable - for the main elements I tried to build a similar shape with less vertices. Then combine the above two things to make about 3 to 4 variants. And test in game how close you can get the transitions between them without making it noticable. I find distance lods necessary for my system. In particular for items that can appear in the dozen in a small area. Also, The 1000m to 8000m distance range shows things just very tiny, why waste GPU power on a thing so far away.? But if you have plenty GPU power, it ain't your problem. ;) Still wonder what TK is thinking in regards to SF2NA, he broke his own standards there with most objects. (Edit: 1000..8000 meters, not km)
  16. That P47 texture is very convincing. One of the things I remember from doing the F-5E, was to select a individual panels, then give them a slightly different hue/saturation/lightness compared to the surrounding panels.
  17. Zur's F-86 sabres are a good example of doing metal textures.
  18. My campaign customizer DLC icon disappeared oneday, it came back when doing something related to version.txt in the "my documents\thirdwire" folder.
  19. There was dicussion about this, with the government saying it is taxpayers money and it should be free to use USAF shapes. Yet lockheed was, or still is, trying to get money. For example: @76.IAP-Blackbird: Sure you can use the old C-130. I do.
  20. On the other hand F-104 is probably AI only because of lockheed licensing problems. Similar to the C-130, which was removed from the game years ago. And Non-IDF Avia S-99 and S-199 are very much red side: Is there any stock flyable which is red side by default? Same for the Egyptian Mirages.
  21. try "refuel"
  22. Excellent DLC! Previous DLC's where things I had to consider first, but this one is a no brainer, If only because of the S-99 and S-199. I read the S-99 is externally the same as a Messerschmitt Bf 109G. That makes for some nice skinning opportunities.
  23. Oops, SA-9 of course. wrote it right all the other times. Edit, uploaded a slightly newer version. Missile must be set as visible in the data.ini, otherwise it never fires. PS. I noticed that setting it as static_AAA may be preferable, as otherwise you end op with like 50% ZU-23 gun sites in the later years (1983+). As if 50% of the locations are assigned to static_AAA and 50% to mobile_AAA. not sure...
  24. Of course the BRDM-2 model had to lead to its SAM cousin, the SA-6 SA-9 Launcher. Beta release is up. Edit, updated image.
  25. In te past evenings I worked on a BRDM-2 mod. With the nose of this soviet recon car shaped properly. A beta version of the BRDM-2 is available on my site, it comes with a tan texture only.
