109F questions ...
Gatling20 replied to Wrench's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - World War II Forum
Did the F have breech bulges? And the canopy was different, I think. -
DAT B-26b and 06 level installs...
Gatling20 replied to TSMcQueen's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Prop Heads Forum
This goes back a long way, but I seem to recall that there was a problem with the longer distance LODs on the B-26, and the fix was to edit the B-26.INI file to use only the main B-26.LOD, like this: [LOD001] Filename=B-26.LOD Distance=250 [LOD002] Filename=B-26.LOD Distance=500 [LOD003] Filename=B-26.LOD Distance=8000 Try that and see if it works. -

I love this sim, and all the off-beat aircraft we can have, thanks to the modders! This one is a beauty. -
Gun Animation
Gatling20 replied to RAVEN's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
In First Eagles the fixed machine guns have entries like this: [LeftMachineGun] SystemType=FIXED_GUN GunTypeName=303CAL_VICKERS_MK1 InputName=FIRE_PRIMARY_GUN GunFireAnimationID=4 GunGroup=1 MuzzlePosition=-0.1379,1.2771,0.5807 AimAngles=0.0,3.0,0.0 MaxAmmo=300 EjectShells=TRUE EjectPosition=-0.35,0.37,0.5 EjectVelocity=-1.5,-0.25,-0.5 Whether this works in SF I don't know. -

Outstanding! -
Counters & screens for SF2:WW2Pacific
Gatling20 replied to Capitaine Vengeur's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - File Announcements
Outstanding map counters, thanks Cap'n. They add a lot of color to the WW2 Pacific mod. One thing I found, using this add-on to the WW2 PTO mod, is that the sim freezes whenever I select "Map", unless I comment out from the new PlanningMapScreen.INI file the line UseNationIcon=TRUE But editing the new PlanningMapScreen.INI file as follows makes this add-on work fine: UseRelativeAlignment=FALSE // UseNationIcon=TRUE NationAircraftIconFormat=MapIconAir_%s.bmp NationGroundForceIconFormat=MapIconGround_%s.bmp NationNavalUnitIconFormat=MapIconNaval_%s.bmp I don't know why this is so, but there it is. This is with a fully merged install of all five SF2 titles, so maybe there is something which got added to the sim in SF2NA which does not like the code "UseNationIcon=" -
BTR-80-A armoured personnel carrier
Gatling20 replied to wingwiner's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - File Announcements
Thanks a lot for this one - more Soviet targets are always useful! -
Fokker G1
Gatling20 replied to Veltro2k's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - File Announcements
Fantastic - what an outstanding-looking aircraft! -
It is a Cessna O-1G Bird Dog, serial number 21491, painted in colours of the Thai Air Force circa 1970, at Temora Aviation Museum in NSW. You can read about it here: http://www.aviationmuseum.com.au/aircraft_colection/cessnao1g/index.html

Help on a terrain fix
Gatling20 replied to Wilches's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
It works fine for me in SF1( '08 level), but not in SF2. I guess us techo-ingoramuses will have to wait, for this to be re-done to SF2 level. Is Ansons still around? -
Help on a terrain fix
Gatling20 replied to Wilches's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
Same problem here - the sim freezes at the 10% mark loading this terrain. It needs upgrading to SF2 standard by one of the experts - way above my pay grade. -

Outstanding! I love these WW2 French birds. -
Veltro2k WWII WIPS
Gatling20 replied to Veltro2k's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - World War II Forum
This update RAR file has a new JPG skin and a Max file, but not a LOD file. For those of us who don't have 3DsMax and who don't the first clue about creating aircraft models, could we have a new LOD for the Potez 631? I love these French birds. -
Potez 63.11
Gatling20 replied to Veltro2k's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - File Announcements
Outstanding - I love these obscure French birds! -
Morane-Saulnier M.S.406
Gatling20 replied to Veltro2k's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - File Announcements
I love the animations on this bird - the radiator which drops down, and the little folding radio aerial under the fuselage which extends once you are wheels up. Great job!! We need more of these French machines. -
Alternate TFD Terrain Tilemap editor/viewer
Gatling20 replied to gerwin's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
Thanks Gerwin, I really like the new version, especially the ability to view the movement routes. -
AI-pack Spitfires flight dynamics?
Gatling20 replied to ndicki's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
The figures in the sim are in Watts. SLPowerDry=1517499.5 = 2035 hp (you divide by 745.7 to convert from the figures in the sim to horsepower). -
shell ejection slots etc
Gatling20 replied to russouk2004's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
I'm pretty sure that EjectPosition= is the place (in metres, from the CoG) where the shell casings originate from, and EjectVelocity= is the initial velocity in metres per second. So EjectVelocity=0.0,0.0,-2.0 gives an initial velocity of 0 in the left/right direction, 0 in the fore/aft direction, and 2 metres per second downwards. -
France Map WIP
Gatling20 replied to a topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mods/Skinning Discussion
How is this terrain progressing? Did it ever get released? -

Looking great - hopefully it wil be done soon. -
Classical HDD + SSD conf. SF2 install question
Gatling20 replied to Coupi's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
I have a 1Tb HDD as my C:/ drive and a 256Gb SSD as my D:/ drive. I have all my SF2 core files installed on the SSD D:/ drive and my SF2 mods folders in the standard place on the C:/ drive, and it all works perfectly, smooth as silk from the SSD drive. -
Off-map airbases ... how to?
Gatling20 replied to Wrench's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
I don't exactly know how to do them, but I noticed that the A-Team PTO SolomonsWW2 terrain has several off- map airbases which work, because I have seen aircraft from them (that is, of types not based on the map, like the PBY-5A) showing up in the Guadalcanal campaign. They all seem to have positive coordinates, on the right or top of the map. -
Problem with "Column5" site
Gatling20 replied to socrate's topic in Site Support / Bug Reports / Suggestions
I think C5 is long gone from this sim, but everything you need should be at this site. -
no parking ac during iceland campaigns
Gatling20 replied to slick cowboy's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mission & Campaign Building Discussion
I am getting this too, both in NA and in other mods which use the SF2NA.EXE file. I have GroundObjects set to unlimited, and only very occasionally get one or two parked aircraft, usually none. I am sure there used to be more parked aircraft in earlier versions of SF2.
