SF2 Exp2 UPDATE Jan2011
daddyairplanes replied to Crusader's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
after reading Falcons response i understand your question better. if i understand right you bought SF2V later than the other games and thats why you had to reinstall, because you do have to install in order of release. you can just add EXP2 as it is the latest, but it will break your mods in the process hence my earlier advice about backing up the mods folders. -
SF2 Exp2 UPDATE Jan2011
daddyairplanes replied to Crusader's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
what i have done of late is to save the mods themselves (such as my Phantoms) to an external, go ahead and delete the mods folders for the games install the patch then afterwards play one round to get the mods folder back up and reload what you saved elsewhere(like an external HD). it is simpler than completely redoing your install plus you back up things you've worked on. finally i make sure to keep a copy of the previous install in case as Eddie Money said "i wanna go back" -
SF2 Exp2 UPDATE Jan2011
daddyairplanes replied to Crusader's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
my main must transfer exery patch mod is my stock USAF Phantoms, with Euro 1 skins and SEA Wraparound added as well as a decal folder and decal ini based off of in game stock but with colors on decals changed as necessary and some new units such as 347th TFW, 86th TFW and several ANG AFRES units. I was wondering because trying to add squadron/wing patches to the intakes but it always blanks the skin out when i add them. that even after just adding national insignia direct to the skin as opposed to having it as a decal. wondered if that info might hold a key to what im trying to do. -
Your advice on SF2

i believe that falklands for SF2 says in the readme that you need to do a standalone, something to do with the dates involved -
SF2 Exp2 UPDATE Jan2011
daddyairplanes replied to Crusader's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
hi everyone just got back from 1st weekend drill. so if i am reading all this correctly everything is good with this patch? and the info in FC's quote/post about the exporter, is a simpler explaination avail in the knowledge base (Gen1 or 2)? i think it may finally solve my not being able to put friggin squadron/wing patches on the Phantoms intakes to match the other tailcodes. OT a reserve MP unit. what the hell did i get myself into? -
sweet!

SF2 a time machine?

my dad was an alcoholic and most of my teenage memories are of him passed out in the living room or dragging him to his bedroom. i started down the same path myself in highschool and up til around my 21st birthday. when i met my wife and we found out she was pregnant with our oldest i decided to quit drinkin as i didnt want my kids having the same sights growing up as i did. it is hard but once you know the problem you can work to get it under control. as proof i offer this: my dad finally sobered up and stayed there for the last 4 years of his life before caner took him in 06. he would visit me and my family often and would tell his dad not that he was coming to see me but that he was going to visit the girls! thats what i think helps us get through things, having a goal to work towards and doing what you have to to get there.

Avro Vulcan for SF2
daddyairplanes replied to GunnySonics's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
what you mean he doesnt get to cuss his game when the conversion doesn't work and pester us by ignoring the Knowledge Base? and i thought that was part of the fun of Gen2:lol: seriously at gunnysonics though, converting is fairly easy. i wouldnt touch an ini in WOE, but spend as much time tweaking Phantom skins or weapon loadouts to my taste. if you sign up for that site it does have some planes unavailable elsewhere, but they are a pain esp if you have issues converting as they dont believe in Gen 2 over there. the Vulcan does work in SF2E, but i got rid of it when figuring they would have much of a role than tac nuke bombing. when i do play nuclear i prefer SRAM or ALCM, and watch the fireworks from the next town over! -
Old School Jet Retooled to Slay Stealth Fighters
daddyairplanes replied to Sparkchaser2010's topic in Military and General Aviation
seems we've adopted an old communist bloc trick, send out a bunch of older equipment first to find the enemy, then let your a team wipe out the enemy. great tactic, unless your flying the older equipment! how about instead not only data link with other AF tactical aircraft but with naval, Patriot battery and satellite survellience assetts as well. if you have the radar power being pumped out by the likes of patriot, aegis, Sentry and thaad and link it all together i do believe you can detect the birds more than 10 miles out. and fer chrissakes build more airframes! don't just retool the ones we already have. -
Fixing Decals to the right position of SF1 to SF2
daddyairplanes replied to VA27Badger's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
you will have to create a decal folder for that skin to put in a mods decal folder. also you will have to do trail and error to determine where the correct placement of the decal should be. means alotta decal ini editing mixed with startin up the game loading the bird in question and lookin at it in game. -
Avro Vulcan for SF2
daddyairplanes replied to GunnySonics's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
best bet would be to convert yourself, as not to many here will convert A-team products and even when they do they have to leave the LOD files out so you still have to go to that site and d/l anyhow. converting from Gen1 to Gen 2 is eay though just consult the Knowledge Base if you need help. -
of all things was watching MTV where they we're debuting a video remake of give peace a chance. it was interupted to announce the start of the war! thats when i discovered this lovely channel called CNN........

this mod Wrench? http://combatace.com/files/file/9554-f-4f-ice-phantom-ii-for-sf2-europe-vers20/ really do try and pay attention:lol: i downloaded that sucker soon as it came out just to add to my collection of Phantoms -
indeed as i happen to be a US Army cook (reserve now) and on three deployments have only come close to doing my full job once. my two soldiers got abit closer as they got shipped to supervise locals cooking for our teams out and about. (i asked to go but they didn't want to lose their guy that could get sodas and snacks!) the DOD in its wisdom decided that it was better to have a guy get paid $140,000 a year to supervise 100 foriegn nationals paid 500 a month (600,000 year total for employees 740,000 for the shift a year) rather than use my squad to do the same and incidental our trained for job at approx. 250,000 to 300,000 for the year we were there. yes the idea that we were freed up to pull triggers was nice but only if we were actually used to pull triggers which, we were not.
