Weird black line coming from the model in game
Trotski replied to GKABS's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
I stand corrected, although, the shadow thing is also a reason, Interesting to read why this happens and what causes it. Time for aa new Bronco methinks lol.....Yeah THAT is gonna happen !! -
Weird black line coming from the model in game
Trotski replied to GKABS's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
Turn the Casts Shadow=True to False. that will solve it , also make sure that your pilot isnt set to cast a shadow either, I have found that to be a thing too sometimes. -
Aye I have to agree with you on TK's stance, ot lack thereof, I think its awful, the way he has just walked away, and not released code etc. to the obviously large community that surrounds SF/FE . Oh and another reason that I did 2 uploads, is that the original model done by Stephen, was actually for FE and not SF, so it was only right and proper to release it in both formats.

Heinkel He 51 Spanish Civil War era A set of skins for Stephen 1918's HE 51. This is the same format , and arrangement, in my previous upload, except this is purely for FE 2 and specifically the Spanish Civil War map. All files except for the LOD files are included, you will need to download Stephens original Heinkel HE 51, then drop my files into the folder that has Stephens original aircraft in it, allow the overwrite, as the .INI files are slightly Different from Stephens. The Skins are 3 different ones from Condor Legion J 88, then 4 Luftwaffe examples in their colourful pre war plumage. 2 Bulgarian examples, one is pre Soviet , and the other post Soviet. Finally there is a Spanish 1939 version. Any problems or errors, please do message me, and I will hopefully rectify the issue. Enjoy -
So then not really a big issue to bother with then, as I cannot be fussed to mod EVERY single FE 2 model to enable it to be a JPG, and other than the fact that the BMPs are larger in MB's , which for me, is not an issue, however, it is an easy "fix" to merely reduce the skin files, in size ie, from 4096, down to say 2048, if one has a problem with file sizes. It would be a huge task to convert everything to JPG's. If TK would pull his finger out of his arse, and make FE into the same format as SF , then life would be so much nicer !! I cant see Stephen wanting to bother with the JPG issue either. Anyway, that is the reason for the 2 uploads one for each sim, I had no other way of doing it. On top of which, only a select few will download the aircraft anyhow.

The First ( JPG ) pack is for SF" the second ( BMP) is for FE, JPGs dont work for skin files in FE for some reason, ( either that or I am doing something wrong ) Hence the 2 packs, also the first pack has Elbonian and Parani skins, neither of which are applicable to FE2 . When you say it "weighs more" I dont get your meaning mate, please can you clarify that for me ? Not being a dick, just dont understand your statement there. I have tried over and over to get JPG's to work in FE, if you know of a way to make that so, I shall be supremely happy to know it mate.

View File Heinkel He 51 Heinkel He 51 Birth of the Luftwaffe I present you with my latest collection of skins, this time for the Heinkel He 51, one of the first Luftwaffe aircraft to see active service, in a air war, the first time for Germany since the end of WWI. The He 51 was a biplane fighter, which was to see service in the Spanish Civil War. It however was found to be very un suited for use as a fighter, as , to be honest, there wasn't much really ground breaking, and there were certainly far better biplane types in service around the world, than the Heinkel turned out to be. Where it was found to shine however, was in the light ground attack role, in which it was quite successful. Several future Luftwaffe aces cut their teeth flying this aircraft, before transitioning across to the BF 109 , which swiftly replaced the biplane in the Jagd role. It was however, an attractive aircraft, and was as I mentioned before, quite a successful recon and ground attack aircraft. I was used by the Luftwaffe, probably as a squadron hack, until the middle of the war. It was only exported to 2 countries, those being Bulgaria, and Spain, The Spanish had these old girls still in service until the mid 50's. It appears the Bulgarians used them until around 1942 -43. So, on with the blurb. I have included 3 skins for aircraft of JG 88 Condor Legion, from different JagdGruppe ( 2, 3, 4 ) Also I have 4 colourful examples from around 1936 or so, in Luftwaffe colours of the time, with their colourful markings. next there are 2 variations on the Bulgarian machines, pre Communist, and post Communist, the final real skin is a Spanish post 1939 scheme. The last 2 I have thrown in for fun. The first is a Parani one because I KNOW some of you lot do play Paran Dhimar. and finally, An Imperial Elbonian Air Service skin, just because, SO THERE !! This aircraft is a model made by Stephen 1918. I have completely redone the skin , panels, rivets etc. etc. All the files you need are included in this upload EXCEPT for the LOD's. For those, please be kind enough to download Stephens original model FIRST Before attempting to fly the beastie !! I have however included all the .INI files, that are pertinent to these skins, so please, after you have downloaded the aircraft from the FE 2 Golden age download section, you ensure that the files I have included , replace the ones you will get with Stephens original aircraft. There are reasons for this, such as gunsights, sounds, weapons, pilots etc. etc. So please rename stephens .INI files just in case you want to use those instead of mine. I cannot see that you shall want or need to though. I have included everything else all in their respective folders, so you should be able to drop it into your save file, wherever that may be. So Sounds, guns, bombs and tank, sounds, and pilots, and of course Decals are all here for you. Just please follow the directions I have stated here. and you will be good to go. As a side note, I have found that a good terrain to utilise for this aircraft is the Finland one, seems to work well. However if you are wanting this aircraft to use in FE2 then wait as I shall be doing a separate upload for First Eagles Spanish Civil War, these skins in this format WILL NOT WORK IN FE !! Anyhow, that about wraps it up. Thanks to Stephen, who is very kind to me, and allows me to bugger up his lovely aeroplanes. So major kudos to him for making the model in the first place. Any glitches, problems, gripes, whinges, or moans, please contact my P.A. Mrs Ramsbottom. She will occupy you and deflect ALL your woes, with her rather nice Victoria sponge cake and a nice cup of Tea ........failing that, message me and I shall see about correcting any bugger ups Finally, as ever, ENJOY (I have enjoyed flying around in this rather attractive aircraft, I even got 2 kills in her ) Submitter trotski00 Submitted 03/15/2021 Category Other

Not many tall Fast Jet drivers, the tall guys get to fly the transport aircraft and the helicopters. There are of course exceptions to the rule as with everything. -

Those look sweet mate !! -
lol....no problem matey !! any idea anyone else who MAY be able to ?........I really could do with this bloody thing, it's so frustrating not having the ability to do modding myself, mind you I think I enjoy skinning more.

Ok, someone out there in the CA wide community, surely must be able to make me a pit with a gunsight, that works on the UH-1H .I know it isn't just as simple as taking an existing pit, and modifying it, but it has been done for the UH-1B gunship, by Kesselbrut, even though that pit does look very similar to the YAP ones . So please, can someone give a brother a hand here please ? I have the aircraft ready to rock n' roll, but I have no way of aiming guns or rocket pods.....So it would be much appreciated if someone can do this pit, it will after all be for the good of the community. Sorry to post this subject again, however I do feel that someone with the modding skill could knock one up for me......Cheers.

me ?....I dont have the know how to edit the darn thing, hence my scream for help lol lol lol

UH-1H HUEY (VIETNAM WAR)
Trotski posted a topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - File Announcements
View File UH-1H HUEY (VIETNAM WAR) Anyone who runs is a VC. Anyone who stands still is a well-disciplined VC UH-1H HUEY SLICKS ( VIETNAM WAR ) The final Huey pack ( for now ) in this series. 13 various slicks from the Vietnam war period. They include the following skins: Air America , 1/9 Cav, 82 Medical, 101 Airborne, 101 Aviation Company, 116 AHC 1 and 2 Platoon colours, 118 AHC 1 and 2 Platoon colours, 498 Medical, 9 Sqn RAAF, 213 Sqn VNAF, and finally 215 Sqn VNAF. Same drill as the previous packs, all in one plug and play ( hopefully, my track record of mistakes are over ) I am working on a gunship version of the Huey, however i am struggling with getting a working cockpit for the H model Huey, so a little patience and hopefully I shall have some armed and dangerous hueys for your enjoyment !! Thanks to Yakarov79 for the original model. As ever ENJOY Submitter trotski00 Submitted 02/16/2021 Category Other Origin -
hmmm interesting ,any news on when it may be released ? and will it fit on the H model ? I was hoping you would say something mate. I am fully aware that it isnt a matter of editing an existing pit, as I know that Lods once written are sealed , and that it would involve a new pit complete, I wish I had the skills and the means, unfortunately though..........................
-
Cheers diude , croshairs wont cut it I'm afraid, particularly when there is a cockpit for the B model Huey with the appropriate sights, so it is definitely doable . Unfortunately I dont do any 3d modelling, as I refuse to pay crazy money for a programme such as 3DMAX ....which is very very expensive . I will keep trying to get someone on board to do this, all the work on the aircraft is done bar testing, which is almost impossible using "Kentucky windage method "
-
Don't all answer at once....sheesh
-
Yes sorry 'bout that, I kinda pressed the wrong button.
-
Can anyone make or adapt a new pit for the H model Huey ? I have tried using Kesselbruts pit however one way, it crashes the sim , and the other, it ghosts a second co pilot over the top of the other one , which is pretty pants , none of the H series models have a pit with a working gunsight, so any assistance will be greatly appreciated............It's maybe a simple fix, but I am too old and too damn stupid to figure it out.

A really good pc , is what I use myself, plus I find it more practical to use to be honest, tried various pads and different tools track bals etc, but I keep coming back to pc keyboard and mouse, I guess its what one is most used to in the long run.
