Win/Lose conditions to a purely air combat campaign? (No naval or ground invasion stuff)?
daddyairplanes replied to automovili's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mission & Campaign Building Discussion
that i recall, you gotta have some ground stuff. they can be small and totally ineffectual, but there has to be a ground (or naval) campaign for the air war to influence. -

look in the weapon station entries, typically a little over half way down in a data.ini in this case, they are named SparrowStationx, so not too hard to find them -

Operation Desert Storm: 30th Anniversary Edition
daddyairplanes replied to Menrva's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - File Announcements
can you be a little more specific? are you having trouble using them against any but the main target? or the AI isnt using them well. there are some game generic problems with LGBs, but it would help if you were a little more specific on your problem also, the Vipers didnt do any LGB work during ODS. there were barely enough AAQ-14 targeting pods for the Strike Eagles at the time, let alone the Block 40s. (that said, an interview with crews reveals that the Weasel Vipers were about to be fragged to carry LGBs when the Clark AB F-4Es showed up with their Pave Tacks, buddy lasing for other aircraft. the war ended before this came to pass). they could carry them from the get go (provided another aircraft or someone on the ground lased the target), they just werent used in Desert Storm- 231 replies

Help needed - QRC-84-02A
daddyairplanes replied to Dels's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
you could try dropping these guys a line contact@spectre-association.org or as their FB description goes, " Non-Profit Organization celebrating the legacy of the Mighty Spectre Gunship (All Models) " i will admit though, it will be a coin flip. half of US veterans are happy to help, the other half will scream "TAHTS OPSEC!! YOU SHOULDNT BE ASKING TAHT!" the funniest one for the second case was when i asked for confirmation on Kansas ANG B-1 serials in '96. a time that was 25 years prior when i asked and for a type that unit hadnt flown in over 15 years. yeah, that brought out some crazies back to the Spectre Organization, their site is under construction and their FB page hasnt been posted on since April. but its still an avenue to check -
i said it at Coyote Aerospace. i say it again here ALOHA!!!

Custom Skin Not Working In-Game Properly
daddyairplanes replied to CSomers611's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
i'd move that patch a little bit back and down so as not to cover the stencils that are part of the skin. also maybe drop scale to 0.65 0.55 meanwhile, welcome to the wonderful world of decals, where we get the best (and worst) of ini editing and digital artistry! -

Late Model RF-4C's : Photo Phantoms After Vietnam
daddyairplanes posted a topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - File Announcements
View File Late Model RF-4C's : Photo Phantoms After Vietnam Late Model RF-4C's : Photo Phantoms After Vietnam A TMF Rebuilt project This mod brings four versions of the phamous photo Phantom into the game, and begins to represent it in its final years of USAF service as well as in South Korean service. Required A functional copy of any Strike Fighters 2 game except for SF2 North Atlantic (the only one without a native F-4 destroyed model) Included Effects, sounds, weapons, and 4 RF-4C aircraft RF-4C_75: regular tanks and centerline pylon to allow nuke carriage. RF-4C_85: choice of regular Phantom centerline tank or F-15 style tank. Last full up model in use RF-4C_LORAN_75: similar to _75 but with dorsal "towel rack" antennae for ARN-92 avionics RF-4C_ARN_101: similar to _85, but with the dorsal antennae for the ARN-101 avionics This pack is the starter kit, with a few skins per aircraft to get started. There are many other skinpacks available to suite your taste in operations; check in the F-4 Skins section of the SF2 downloads : https://combatace.com/files/category/512-f-4/ ****************************************************************************************************************************************************** NOTE!!

Nightshade often shows me my errors in screenshots he's just sharing for fun, while Menrva helps me with the more technical aspects -Sundowner, ravenclaw_007, yakarov79 and daddyairplanes templates are a mix of layers as contributed by these four. compiled in current form by daddyairplanes About The Mirage Factory Rebuilt Back in the early days of Wings Over series modding The Mirage Factory, lead by bpao was the peak of modding excellence. Many of their models are still heavily in use today, 15 years later and still amongst the very best. This despite the team not creating any new mods since the passing of Oliver Anguille in 2009. But time does move on, and the next generation of modders have ideas, techniques and tools not available back then. With the help of some of the original modellers (who have copies of the original max files) we can update these fine aircraft for the 2020s. Rebuilt for new terrains and campaigns that were just hopeful wishes over a decade ago. The Mirage in the logo is camoflaged, much like the real aircraft in later service. The "HD" has been replaced with "Rebuilt" as what was HD in the 2010s is jsut standard today. Finally, the new logo thanks Oli, both for the aircraft that are still relevant today and for the inspiration he's given to the modders that followed him. on behalf of The Mirage Factory (original and rebuilt) I thank you for downloading this mod, and hope you enjoy it.

Good Luck! its hit or miss reaching out to direct sources like that, but is awesome when it hits and you get alot more than just the one or two answers you were looking for (probably why i'm a member of multiple USAF unit FB pages despite being a retired Army cook )
