FakePilot removal of parts.
sophocles replied to Tommy2Fast's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
Sorry to bring this up again but Wilches@ was right, the parts may not show up in the Mues' LOD viewer (the alpha channel works) but in game the parts continue to appear .. even after hex editing the LOD changing references from bmp to tga. Any other ideas Gentlemen? -

Hello Julio, this is what prompted me to look into the problem. I realized that the lewis gun was used as weapon station since it had both entries in the data.ini and the loadout.ini. This then made me experiment by placing the Lewisgun folder (lewis01) into the weapons folder instead of in the guns folder (where it was by default) and that did the trick as well as renaming the entry in the loadouts,ini from " 303CAL_LEWIS_MK2" into "lewis01" with the station ID matching the one in the [centerWingStation] in the data.ini. All thst was left to do was to adjust the AttachmentPosition of the gun and the ejection entries because the gun wasn't sitting right. What a nightmare!! If I had seen your post earlier it would have saved me quite a few hours, but thankyou so very much for looking so deeply into the problem and setting up your schematic!

Hello all! After getting inti First Eagles 2 again, I've been confounded by 2 issues; 1) I can't get any of the Nieuport 17 aircraft in the download sections to appear in First Eagles 2 with the Lewis gun! It just isn't there. I've read some posts about this phenomenon but nothing seems to work! 2) I've downloaded some effects packages for gun tracers and smoke and it appears that they only work in the original First Eagles. I'd really appreciate it If any of you who have the above working in FE2 can point out some solutions. Cheers! Sophocles

how to make 4096 x 4096 textures
sophocles replied to ravenclaw_007's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
What problem did you have? remember that Win10 deletes "some" files so you have to turn security settings off before you try to install onto Win10. -

Volker, 3dsmaxworks just fine on windows 10 (just upgraded myself and have run into no problems at all (32 bit version). What i'd suggest is to see If your paint programme is configured to use your graphics card. There's no need to buy a new computer, your specs are way more than enough. -
