SH-3 Rotors when parked

I've got Florian's great USN Sea King on my carriers but when they show up parked the rotors aren't folded. Any ideas? -

allenjb42 replied to gerwin's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Knowledge Base
Is it too early to nominate this for 'Mod of the Year'? Or do we need to wait until it's officially uploaded? Gerwin, without your work on this I would have been left behind by NA and would have been relagated to watching enviously the rest of you guys flying over Iceland! Thanks & -

Obviously the guy's there in body but in his mind he's flying a Tomcat against hordes of MiGs over Iceland!

If you tell them to attack ground targets rather than just your target what happens? -
Red Storm Rising Mod Status

Looks great Dave and it's one of my favorite sequences in the book: ...They were Phantom jets of the New York Air National Guard, configured as Wild Weasel SAM-killers. While Russian attention was on the converging bomber raid, they skimmed over hilltops and down valleys, using the crenelated landscape to mask their low-level approach. The back-seat crewman in each aircraft counted the missile radars, selecting the most dangerous targets. When they got to within ten miles of Keflavik, they popped up high and fired a salvo of Standard-ARM antiradar missiles. The Russians were caught by surprise. Laboring to direct missile fire at the bombers, they didn't expect a two-part raid. The incoming missiles were not detected. Three of the ARMs found targets, killing two search radars and a missile launch vehicle. One launch commander turned his vehicle around and trained manually on the new threat. The Phantoms jammed his fire-control radar, leaving behind a series of chaff clouds as they came in at thirty-foot height. As each pilot raced to the target area assigned to him, he conducted a hasty visual search. One saw an undamaged SAM launcher and streaked toward it, dropping Rockeye cluster bomb canisters that fell short but spread over a hundred bomblets all over the area. The SA-11 launcher exploded in his wake; its crew never knew what had happened. A thousand yards beyond it was a mobile antiaircraft gun vehicle. The Phantom engaged it with his own cannon, badly damaging it as he swept across the rest of the peninsula and escaped back over the sea, a cloud of chaff and flares in his wake. It was a letter-perfect Weasel mission. All four aircraft were gone before the Soviet missile crews were able to react. The two SAMs that were launched exploded harmlessly in chaff clouds. The battery had lost two-thirds of its launcher vehicles and all of its search radars. Three of the mobile guns were also destroyed or damaged. The bombers were now a mere twenty miles out.... I have to say I always pictured them as F-4Es because of the bit about engaging a AAA vehicle with cannon but I suppose it could be a gunpod on an F-4D. I was thinking about the loadout though and if they carry a centreline gunpod they have to carry the Rockeyes and Standards under the wings, so no drop tanks, and it's a long way to Iceland and back even with tankers. If they're F-4Es they could have wing tanks outboard, Standards inboard and the Rockeyes on a centreline TER. Or maybe I'm just rivet counting and obsessing over a work of fiction! Reason for edit: I just realised what I was asking was a big no no! -
A Prowler Quandry ...
allenjb42 replied to Wrench's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
Yes I know it's a different model, and payware too. I was just passing on the info that there are more skins available in case any one wanted to use it in game. -
The master is back! All hail the awsomeness of Kout!

allenjb42 replied to Wrench's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
Go for it Kevin! I looked through my archive and you're right. There are very few high viz skins. However the model included in the WOV expansion pack came with 4 high viz skins so maybe you can get permission to convert those to include with your version. BTW - If anyone's interested I was looking at the Razbam A-6s and EA-6s and if you also have the FSX versions there are extra skins that can be converted to be used with the SF models. -

Looks great! Do you have any plans to re-do your Top Gun movie skins from the TMF Tomcat for the TW version? -

Strike Fighters Briefing Pack Readme For some reason the creators of many of the third party terrains that have been released have omitted to include a briefing.ini file with the terrain or have included a blank document. What this means is that when you click on the briefing tab in the mission setup area you will get a black screen and a CTD, which kind of ruins the atmosphere when you're getting pumped up to go out there to defend the free world against the rampaging communist/Nazi etc hordes. Here is a collection of briefing.ini files for most of the terrains out there that have this problem with what I hope is some appropriate text to get you in the mood for your mission. Feel free to edit them to suit your needs. I've also included English briefing.ini files for Gepard's Israel and Suez terrains as the originals are in German. List of briefings included: AE - Madagascar terrain AmericaNW - American North West terrain ANWgreen - American North West terrain (Green) ANWwinter - American North West terrain (Winter) DS - Desert Storm terrain IR - Iran Iraq terrain Israel 2 - Israel v2 terrain Israel - Israel terrain Kosovo - Kosovo terrain libya - Libya terrain LibyaWW2 - WW2 Libya terrain Malvinas - Malvinas terrain mideast - Middle East terrain scal - Southern California (Top Gun) terrain SE - South East USA terrain Suez - Suez terrain SW - South West USA (Red Flag) terrain tiawan - Taiwan terrain (the USAFMTL version) Ibstallation is simple - just extract the briefing you want to the appropriate terrain's folder, which you will already have installed within your Strike Fighters, WOV or WOE Terrain folder. The only other thing you may need to do is to check inside the individual terrain's folder in the .ini file to make sure that the line BriefingText= includes the name of the briefing.ini file. For example, in my Kosovo terrain folder the kosovo.ini file contains the line BriefingText=Kosovo_briefing.INI The only terrains that I know you will have to edit are USAFMTL's mideast terrain (which points to the original desert_briefing.ini) and Wrench's WW2Libya (which points to the libya_briefing.ini). All of the rest should work just fine. Thanks to TK for SF, WOV, WOE, FE and who knows what else, and of course to the creators of all of these fine terrains for enhancing this great game of ours. Have fun, and good hunting... Allen (allenjb42) Burton Any problems, find me at combatace.com, simhq.com or column5.us -

SF2: North Atlantic
allenjb42 replied to Dave's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Knowledge Base
If I've not got enough RAM to play this but I buy it anyway and do a merged install is it going to screw up my other games if I launch from say the SF2:E .exe or will I get the new features in the original terrains but can't play on the Iceland map? -
Many Happy Returns! And what a birthday present from TK!

Veltro's model is an Alize not a Gannet, so don't scrub it off your list just yet Russ! -
