F-11F
slick cowboy replied to slick cowboy's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
yeah i had to distort the insignia on the air intake as it gets warped a bit... but i didn't use it as a decal, i just pasted it in the skin and distorted it a bit so that it compensates for the warping it's still not 100%, but it's ok (kinda...) well for now i just want to reskin it at a higher res and have some fun with weathering but an updated f-11f would be a nice addition of course :-) -

ok... well if any modeller wants to volunteer :-) i'm only using the model as an exercise in making templates and weathering but it's be nice if it could be corrected the pilot positioning is also a bit off i think, he's too close to the seat... -

no parking ac during iceland campaigns

nope it's high... does that influence parking? weird... -
setting two sq for one airbase
slick cowboy replied to UllyB's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mission/Campaign Building Discussion
every airbase has a max of squadrons though, so check the number of squadrons you can place in the terrain's target.ini file (for Germany for instance GERMANYCE_TARGETS.ini). You will find this entry: NumSquadrons=3 (or 6 for bigger bases). In the Campaign's data.ini file you just assign the squadron's to the base in question. -
a sort of request for an F-16C pit...
slick cowboy posted a topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
Well there's already it for the F-16 blk25 (and others), but they probably predate the TW stock F-16A pit if I'm not mistaken? Is there newer pit of the F-16C maybe based on the stock pit? If not, it might be a challenge for anyone with the skills to do it (unlike me...) Putting the F-16A pit in the F-16C works of course, but it's kinda weird right? -

slick cowboy replied to slick cowboy's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
ok i already had the latest put, so not so frozen after al and i sorted it... cockpit texture was not set on unlimited... that explains why the pit came out a bit off ok this is cool :)) -

formation.ini
slick cowboy posted a topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
I guess the subject is self-explanatory :-) I couldn't find any info in the knowledgebase about the formation.ini file. I know how to increase the size of a flight, but are there more modding possibilities? Can we break it down to mission types? cheers -
No AI strike missions in Europe?
slick cowboy posted a topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
I made a 1986 campaign, based on the stock 1979 Europe campaign, but somehow I'm the only unit to get strike missions. The other units get air-to-air, sead or cas. Nothing else. Has this something to do with the data.ini file. There are plenty of aircraft with 80 as strike mission chance (for instance 4 F-111 units), but they stay on the ground... Any ideas? -

slick cowboy replied to slick cowboy's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
ok i'm pretty sure it has something to do with the supplyrate... this was a pretty useful thread... http://bbs.thirdwire.com/phpBB3w/viewtopic.php?t=5089 -

For support it's best to mail to the support mail address (as long as it's not modding related i presume) So far I've always received a reply... -

how to create road airfields
slick cowboy posted a topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
I've been checking the target.ini file of the NF5 germany terrain to figure how to get those road airfields in the game. For instance I have this in the targets.ini [TargetArea234] Name=Adelsheim Highway Strip Position=417000.00,333000.00 Radius=8485 ActiveYear=01/01/1970 Location=1 AirfieldDataFile=ROAD_AIRFIELD1.ini NumSquadrons=1 Alignment=FRIENDLY Target[001].Type=Road_Runway Target[001].Offset=0.00,0.00 Target[001].Heading=90.0 Target[002].Type=CamonetParking Target[002].Offset=60.00,635.00 Target[002].Heading=0.0 Target[003].Type=CamonetParking Target[003].Offset=60.00,740.00 Target[003].Heading=0.0 Target[004].Type=CamonetParking Target[004].Offset=60.00,820.00 Target[004].Heading=0.0 etc. Copied the road_airfield1.ini and the objects associated with the airfield. I also inserted the base in the types.ini as so [TargetType236] Name=Road_Runway FullName=Runway ModelName= TargetType=SMALL_RUNWAY ActiveYear=0 TargetValue=1000 UseGroundObject=FALSE DamagePoint=70.0 ArmorValue=0.0 ArmorType=0 RepairRate=100.0 StartDetectChance=100 StartIdentifiedChance=50 IncreaseDetectChanceKey=10 MaxVisibleDist=30000.0 ZBufferOffset=6.000000 FlatObject=TRUE DamagedModel= DestroyedEffect= DestroyedModel= SecondaryChance=0 But the game doesn't find the base... am i forgetting something??? I'm curious how this works and what I'm doing wrong. -

60's RAF and Royal Navy pilots?
slick cowboy posted a topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
i've just downloaded the new falklands pack and found some nice RAF and RN pilots to put in the rest of the British aircraft... I'm just wondering if there aren't any 60's pilots out there to put in the early phantoms, buccaneers, canberras, harriers etc. maybe i missed something? ah shoot... pls move to SF2... i always end posting in the wrong forum :-( sorry -

i re-downloaded everything (i.e. both zips) and noticed that the decals are missing from the spanish, canadian and kuwaiti horners... luckily i still had the older cf-18 decals, which i think are the same... -
DLC F-4N changes to E-2C
slick cowboy posted a topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
Yeah i know, weird titel but this is what happens when I want fly an armed recon mission in the iceland terrain funnier still is that i end up in an A-4 cockpit flying the E-2C while it's not even flyable I extracted the DLC files for the F-4N, but all is normal I sent a mail to support of TW, no answer yet, but maybe it's related to modding? any idea what could be causing this? thanks ok correction... the same happens with a an A-4... it seems that USN and armed recon don't go well together in the Iceland terrain... -

got a reply from TW support, Iceland terrain is not supposed to have armed_recon so it shouldn't be in the allowed mission in the terrain's ini file -
