Small(ish) Fake Pilot request to a 3D modeler
dtmdragon replied to dtmdragon's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
Thanks mate I appreciate that, basically just like on Cliff7600's Spitfire Mk5c or Mk12 if you have a look at them in the lod viewer. They taper down to a few inches of exposed cannon barrel at the end. If that works out ok one in the earlier Spitfire MK5b style which has alot more of the cannon barrel exposed would also be greatly appreciated. Cliff7600 has nailed that one in his Mk5b as well for reference. I'm well mate, another baby on the way so buisy getting ready for that and preparing for the sleep derivation! Hope things are good in your neck of the woods. Later style (Mk5c/9/12 etc): Earlier Mk5b: -
Small(ish) Fake Pilot request to a 3D modeler
dtmdragon posted a topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
Hey guys, Hoping one of our talented 3D modelers out there might be able to please whip up a 'Fake Pilot' Spitfire C-wing/ E-wing cannon. Just like on the stock TW Spitfires or Cliff7600's Spitfire Mk5c or Mk12. Cheers, Dan. -
What made everyone play SF2
dtmdragon replied to TheStig's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
Around 2010 I was trying to get Jane's IAF working on my new Windows Vista PC and came across SF2 Israel on the internet somehow. The rest as they say is history. The ease of modding and adding researched details makes the game for me. Early on I remember TK taking away subtitles in a patch at one point (gear up/down etc) and everyone begging him on the official forums to bring it back. -

What if New Zealand had decided to re-place emphasis on the fighter/bomber role when It came time to replace the Canberra in the late 60's early 70's?.... Refurbished US F-8H: Upgraded in the late 80's with the AGP-66A and AIM-7: -

Type 625A/625E SHORAD 1.0.0 Tracers do not appear
dtmdragon replied to Falcon1364's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
Its a fused round. The game engine doesn't allow fused rounds to have tracers for some reason. You can edit it so it's not a fused round and the tracers will now show but you wont have any flak going off. The work around is to create two guns in the same spot. You give them half the rate of fire each, so the combined rate of fire is the same as what the one gun should be. One of the two gun you make fused and the other is not so it's tracers show up. If the weapon system in question has dual or quad guns you need to do this for each and every gun. You will also need to half the max ammo capacity of each gun as well. I have used this mod on the 40mm DARDO ship CIWS gun as it fires fuzed rounds with tracers and can destroy incoming cruise missiles. A CIWS type gun in SF2 with just fused rounds will never hit a cruise missile. -

No JDAM-ER.... what Mk 80 series is it? JDAM-ER can use the MK 82, 83 or 84. JDAM-ER with the MK 82 has been photographed in use by Ukraine SU-27 and MiG-29 😉 -

Since the J-15 is basically a reverse engineered copy of the SU-33 why not look at the FM from GKABS latest version or even just make a J-15 specific version of it?
