3rd Wing Moves North
daddyairplanes posted a topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - File Announcements
View File 3rd Wing Moves North 3rd Wing Moves North The 3rd Tactical Fighter Wing was slated to leave Clark AB in the Phillipines in 1992. However the eruption of Mt Pinatubo in June 1991 caused a much more rapid departure than planned from the Philippines. The 3rd Wing set up shop at Elmendorf AFB, Alaska in December 1991, taking over from the 21st Wing that had been the host unit. By January 1994, the 3 Wing had the 19th and 54th Fighter Squadrons operating F-15C and D Eagles, the 90th Fighter Squadron operating the F-15E Strike Eagle, The 517th Airlift Squadron operating the C-130H Hercules and the 962nd Airborne Air Control Squadron operating the E-3A Sentry This mod sets up everything you need to send the 3rd Wing or any of its elements into battle in the mid 1990s. While primarily focused on the Pacific theater of operations, the 90th Fighter Squadron did participate in Operation Deny Flight in Europe from October 1995 until start of 1996. Included Aircraft: F-15C/D_91, F-15E_92, C-130H3, E-3A as well as the decals and pilots for these aircraft Weapons for each aircraft as was available in the mid 1990s Effects and sounds as needed to support the aircraft Installation unzip, open the "2 mod folder" and place into the mod folder of your choice. allow overwrites Credits ----------F-15C/D_91, F-15E_92---------------------- Viper63a - Cockpit work, skin template Spudknocker - Upgraded Flight Model and Weapons Loadout.

strike fighters 2 lag fix
daddyairplanes replied to GordonDriftman's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
attention to details first, this is the SF1 forum. you might see better results in the SF2 forums second, you may want to share your system specs. for all we know from your question, you might be running SF2 on your iPhone. in which case would be an achievement but probably laggy. when asking a question like this, computer type, processor, and graphics card info really help us diagnose the issue. also which graphics settings you have on in game -

daddyairplanes replied to Falcon1364's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
not here or on other sites that im aware of keep in mind SF2 is geared more towards Vietnam era and isnt the best at the most modern stuff (5th Gen fighter avionics and weapons). yes theres models for things like F-35 but it works with heavy tweaks to 70avionics.dll.... -

daddyairplanes replied to ravenclaw_007's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
personal preferences brand name Adobe Photoshop is better than GIMP in most categories other than cost but since i used GIMP consistently over the years when i couldnt afford the Adobe CC subscription (or to get a copy of the old CS packs), i do tend to prefer using GIMP for most work (esp tga work). if youre familiar with the TW extractor, then its perfectly usable, although i believe no longer available on TW site if just getting started then one may want to use Mue's extractor instead. but those of use that have been doing it a decade+ will use what we're comfortable with -
USAF F-16A Block 15 (Mirage Factory) for SF2 ?
daddyairplanes replied to Coupi's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
im not 100% certain, but my money is on...... money. small incremental block increases get overlooked and approved in the budget process easier than major model letter upgrades. amusingly, some of the older birds have gone to Block system as well, such as the KC-135R Block 45 upgrade -

USAF F-16A Block 15 (Mirage Factory) for SF2 ?

true, but lets say one wants a Block 10 in 1983, or Block 15 in 1986........ -
SF2 Radar/PPI display
daddyairplanes replied to ravenclaw_007's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
the big first question is : do you have the TW cat extractor? if yes, then its a matter of playing with it. you wont remember which file is in which folder. but you can browse each folder and you'll start to get a feel for whats in each. the first one is generic game object inis, second one off limits (the actual lod models) and from there its typically grouped by decals, aircraft and ground models, going down the line of sf2, vietnam, europe, israel, north atlantic and DLC (if you have any) it seems daunting at first. play with it, practice, screw up, learn from screw up and practice some more. eventually you'll start having the game dialled in the way you want rather than adjusting to the game -

daddyairplanes replied to Coupi's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
additional (and optional) fix on the Block 10: number of vents around the gun muzzle. the C is on the lower left, the A is on the upper right. this can be adjusted on skin, or you can tweak the model. sorry, just something else that popped in mind -

well, thats a new term. not very technical, but terribly descriptive ravenclaw_007, how does this look over water? plays into a old idea of mine that may become my next shiny object
