SF2 Realism Mod
daddyairplanes replied to Dave's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
if multiple folders why not break down into 1. terrians 2. ini edits 3. flight, effects and other minor but not strictly ini related mods 4. weps. just as an idea i dont think we are talking major aircraft mods right now. and because R/L is still kickin my butt right now i'm gonna wrapup the squadronlist by adding the major shooter squadrons from NF4 and Vieatnam Air and Ground. still little leary of red air add ins cause then your talking cockpits and could make a squadronlist as big as the stock one. but there should be plenty of room at the end to add in. my main focus with that has been 1 units flying stock aircraft sometim in history and 2 era from 1948-1991. yea theres examples like the 100th FS wich replaced Alabama ANG's 160th FS in '07 but i don't wanna go that crazy..... -
SF2 Realism Mod
daddyairplanes replied to Dave's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
my two cents on the weapon matter is that much should be added but maybe not everything possible out there. i had to massively trim doen Gunnys pack when i had my old Compaq laptop due to there just being soooo much stuff that i wasn't gonna use. on the other hand without ini edits on some weps you have things like the abilty to carry Mk 82's on a Mustang in 1950! i would vote for making the stock weps more accurate and adding some of the useful stuff but maybe not every single variant of 2.75 FFAR or Iranian homemade missle. leave those in the specific mods (FAC, Helo or Op Darius) for which they are more useful. my understanding was that this was primarily for stock game improvement, but i also agree with HR that many elements (squadronlist, RWR library) could be useful in any future mods to save time and lessen patching impact. not to say patches won't bork the mod, just lessen the borking to where updating is a few hour or maybe day affair for all concerned -
An idea: Making USN NationName a level 1 decal
daddyairplanes replied to HomeFries's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
looks good for A-6 and prob Hornet as i think they had most of their carrier names near the service name. Phantoms and i believe Tomcats are a bit more problematic as they can be all over the airframe. i've got Forrestal on the tail, on the spine, back by the NAVY etc. Toms had the same variations esp earlier on. so for it to work it would have to be one huge decal and alot of testing to verify location on skin. that or place it above the NAVY anyhow and suffer the wrath of the rivetcounters........ -
An idea: Making USN NationName a level 1 decal
daddyairplanes replied to HomeFries's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
yours is an interesting idea at the moment but i think to easily affected by future patches. the only thing i can think of is that it would no longer be a part of the nationname grouping but rather purely tied in to the appropriate skin (NAVYxxx for USNGrey, USMCxxx for USMCGrey etc). no reason that shouldnt work, have it going on one of my skins with the insignia(though named star) to make a couple of squadrons insignia smaller as IRL. -
Question to the AH-1 Cobra
daddyairplanes replied to Gepard's topic in Military and General Aviation
Q had the original L-13, but this proved not powerful enough for the new anti armor role. AH-1R fitted the T-53-L-703 and a new transmission and saw an increase in performance only two buit as a testbed for the new engine. the S is the culmination of the improvements both in anti armor missles and engine/performance. idk as to P, E, and F although i believe the F was just an upgrade to keep them viable in National Guard service. hope this helps and does this mean new Cobras in the offing? got the info from Osprey combat aircraft #009 btw though abit dated being from '87 -

McDonnell Douglas F-4E - The RAAF retain the Phantom!
daddyairplanes replied to Spinners's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Sci-Fi/Anime/What If Forum
wery true on the skins Kevin, but i was pointing out how far one could go with this line of logic mirroring the Aussie Pigs..... weps upgrades, a homegrown recce version, extras after the Gulf War as we Americans retired ours to the boneyard. it's a great idea that deserves more than just this one posting. -
Connery, then Craig. I mean c'mon Sean Connery came back to play Bond what 15 years later?!

McDonnell Douglas F-4E - The RAAF retain the Phantom!
daddyairplanes replied to Spinners's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Sci-Fi/Anime/What If Forum
in service til '02? how many did the Aussies snatch up after the USAF fleet drawn down in the 90's? IRL they benefitted from some F-111Gs that were used to train on, while preserving airframe life on the C's and RF's. just food for thought there....... -

some of us have wives/girlfriends. SF is a more acceptable pasttime to them than onionbooty.com! (actually knew a warrant officer that had that as the home page of his govt. computer during Kosovo deployment in 2000.....) -
So you want to make a 3d object for Strike Fighters?
daddyairplanes replied to FastCargo's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Knowledge Base
Veltro, what i think he's saying in the very beginning of this post is that Blender made objects crossover the best with little to no distortion in the process. right now i have blender on to give this a try later and Sketchup 8 for class on my system! -

I'm now taking a course on it but the school bookstore doesn't sell it and the cheapest student version i can find is $224 (minus the 30 trial of course). Now we will have access for schoolwork in the comp lab and i can get it with excess Pell grant monies in October. but that doesn't help me to work at home now. the two questions... 1. does anyon know of a LEGAL but cheaper copy out there? i'm basically looking for myself and 3 other students so a "loaner" copy is not quite what i'm looking for though the thought of any such offer would have been appreciated. 2. my teacher thinks projects may be able to be started in Gimp then transfered. Any comments from anyone who has worked with both programs? TIA for any help/advice you guys can give.....

Next DLC: F-4 Skin Pack
daddyairplanes replied to mynameismatt's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
actually meant to ask bout this...... it shows in dropdown menu but not in the main a/c ini. anyone else with F-4 or F-14 can confirm this? or do i need to dial up the caffeine again? and as Jedimaster said, around 11 individual skins, with both mirror paterns of Heater Ferris, overall grays for both services, TPS and Blues and Vandy 4. comes up to many when you factor in the same skins for 4 makes of Phantom......
