Funny you should be talking about Corsairs and performance data. I just watched this video the other day. Also there was an interesting comment by YouTuber Tom Everhart about Corsairs in Korea. Maybe @Wrench know some history as to whether this story is true or not.

Too bad we can't use sidearms in SF2.

When you have the gun mounts ready I have some prototype Turbolasers data files based upon game data from X-Wing:Alliance ready for testing.

Wow! Yes, although the trench itself seems a little wide, I think the trench's width was the same as its depth. Any way to make the trench walls more vertical? Still that is amazing, just need to build some turrets, towers, and surface mounts as ground objects for turbolaser AAA.

Found this in my YouTube recommendations and thought I should share it.

Although I do have some prior obligations to meet first, I can build data files for those once those are done if you are interested.

View File Clemenceau-class Aircraft Carrier (TMF) This pack has The Mirage Factory's Clemenceau class aircraft carrier by Marcfighters with updated data files for use in SF2:NA installs by KJakker. /------------------------------------------------------------------ There are two data file variants name Alt1 and Alt2. Alt2 is set by default. The "Alt1" variant of the data files uses the gun included in the original SF1 mod set up for SF2 file structure. The "Alt2" version is set to use an alternate gun made with data from sources avalible to me. The both Guns have been included. This file has been tested in SF2:NA. Note that as this model has all 8 100mm gun mounts. As such the operational dates for the class in the Data and Names files are set to run from their Commissioning dates to the time of the classes mid to late 1980's air defense refits. If Anyone has more precice info on when these refits started and finished please let me know. /------------------------------------------------------------------ Insallation. Backup the folders in your mods directory if you should happen to have the original. Place the contents of the "To Mods Folder" in the corresponding folders in your mods directory. You should not have any conflicts. If there are any they are most likly sound files.

Thanks for the info and files guys. I will see about updating the download soon.

A little addendum to the above video. The YouTuber "The Bonesaw" shared the story below in the comments from his time in the US Navy.

@Geary Just to check, you are putting things into the mods folder at "C:\Users\"UserName"\Saved Games\ThirdWire\StrikeFighters2" and not the main folder at "C:\Program Files (x86)\ThirdWire\Strike Fighters 2" correct? I have attached my effects folder with an adjusted MissileObject.ini file. Backup your effects folder and give mine a try. My Effects folder.7z Also, I have attached some smoke rockets for you to test. Smoke Rockets.7z

Mine do work in my SF2 install. Try these. Smoke Marker Effects.7z

Add a letter "s" to the end of effect.

Open up the smoke rocket's data file and see what is listed under "EffectClassName=".

It is in the ObjectData001.CAT file but I attached the stock one for you. Put it in your Objects folder. MISSILEOBJECT.INI

Do you have these in your MISSILEOBJECT.INI files?

I came across this the other day and thought I would share it.

I just dug the Clemenceau out of the old TMF weapons pack and updated the data file to my latest standard for SF2. If anyone wants to test it let me know and I will PM it to you. Are there any restrictions beyond the normal regarding uploading TMF items? If not then I will add it to the SF2 ships download section.

@warthog64 and @JosefK Please give me some testing details. Given the work I put into this I am considering creating and uploading a complete ground object overhaul pack for the Falklands 82 campaign. Also which YAP Rising Sun ships are you most interested in updated data files for? There are a lot more of them and I would like a place to start.

You can try this in your bomber's Cockpit.ini and Avionics.ini files respectively. I find that it works well for level bombing with B-52's. <------------------------------[Cockpit.ini]------------------------------> [GunsightFront] HasGunsight=TRUE GunsightMilSize=50 <-----Set to the size you want.

I like the depth bombs, I was researching them when I was modding Cold Waters. Are you going to make the US and RN WWII ones? @acesfakia I thought you might find these interesting. https://www.dropbox.com/s/c2s0tm9notgrldt/Booklets of General Plans.7z?dl=0 @JosefK I helped WhiteBoySamurai with the data files for a number of the ships he built. If you are working on some ships I should be able to help.

Took me a little longer than I planned as I got bogged down in a number of details involving ships, guns, AAA and SAM's. Try this and see how it works for you. Falklands_Ship_&_AAA_Update_Test.7z Note: Ships with files designated Mod1 and Mod2 indicate proper top speed or all stop is set respectively. The way I have the files set in the attachment is the same way speed is set in the base Falklands 82 mod, as such you should be able to drop all if the files into your Falklands mod folder and they should work straight away. Be sure to back up just in case. If you are using the ships in any other install then make sure the data file reference in the ship's main INI file is pointing to the Mod1 variant.

I think you might have a problem with that cockpit. Your comm/IFF/nav control panel on the right side has a distinct case of doggy eyes. If you are not careful it will convince you to let it eat all of your survival rations before you even reach the target area.

I usual just set everything in the Objects folder to read only when I am not modding files.
