Strike Fighters 2 : Operation Desert Storm Redux
dtmdragon replied to MigBuster's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters Series News
This is a great mod to integrate 'what if' or 'what could have been' aircraft into and see how they fair! RAF F-4JUK (this is the interceptor the RAF wanted to deploy but politically the Tornado ADV got the job), RNZAF A-4K flying in a joint Skyhawk Wing with the Kuwaiti's (this option was actully pushed in preference to the USMC mercs that ended up providing ground support for the Kuwaiti's but the NZ government faltered ), TSR-2, F-111D, F-111K even an extended service Vulcan with Falklands war ordanance/ ECM mods etc -
Aircraft upgrades limit
dtmdragon replied to RustyKurnass's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
I could be wrong but I understand it is a game bug that means the texture folder name of the aircraft you are upgrading to has to have the same name as the previous upgraded aircraft's texture folder. In all my personal customised campaigns I follow this rule and it works fine. It means you may have to extract the contents of the KfirC2 'IDFGrey1' folder and rename it 'IDFCamo2' etc. Personally I would have a commonly named texture folder in each Kfir varient such as 'Campaign1' that I would extract and place in the specific textures and decal.ini file etc that I wanted to be used by each aircraft varient in my modified campaign. So to work correctly yours should read: UpgradeType=FIXEDUpgrade[01].Date=04/01/1975Upgrade[01].Type=KfirC1Upgrade[01].Texture=IDFCamo2Upgrade[02].Date=01/01/1977Upgrade[02].Type=KfirC1_77Upgrade[02].Texture=IDFCamo2Upgrade[03].Date=02/01/1978Upgrade[03].Type=KfirC2Upgrade[03].Texture=IDFCamo2 * Upgrade[03].Texture='IDFCamo2' texture folder has the extracted contents of KfirC2 'IDFGrey1' texture folder in it, Or better still: UpgradeType=FIXEDUpgrade[01].Date=04/01/1975Upgrade[01].Type=KfirC1Upgrade[01].Texture=Campaign1Upgrade[02].Date=01/01/1977Upgrade[02].Type=KfirC1_77Upgrade[02].Texture=Campaign1Upgrade[03].Date=02/01/1978Upgrade[03].Type=KfirC2Upgrade[03].Texture=Campaign1 * Upgrade[01].Texture='Campaign1' texture folder has the extracted contents of KfirC1 'IDFCamo2' texture folder in it, * Upgrade[02].Texture='Campaign1' texture folder has the extracted contents of KfirC1_77 'IDFCamo2' texture folder in it, * Upgrade[03].Texture='Campaign1' texture folder has the extracted contents of KfirC2 'IDFGrey1' texture folder in it. -
Kittyhawks and Coconuts - RNZAF in the PTO
dtmdragon posted a topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - World War II Forum
Major overhaul of P-40 markings and theater bands etc. Serial numbers are different to aircraft numbers on the cowling as the cowling number was given in theater depending on the servicing unit the aircraft was assigned to. P-40E Home Defense Squadrons (including Tonga and Fiji) P-40K Operational Squadrons (Guadalcanal/ Solomon Islands etc) P-40M Operational Squadrons (Guadalcanal/ Solomon Islands etc) Single P-40L delivered to the RNZAF by mistake, however it was assembled in New Zealand and flown briefly before it was shipped back to the USA. P-40N Operational Squadrons (Guadalcanal/ Solomon Islands etc) and OTU (Operational Training Unit) Squadrons 488 (NZ) Squadron Buffalo Mk.I defending Singapore (in vain) 488 (NZ) Squadron Hurricane Mk.IIb (Buffalo loss replacments) defending Singapore at the bitter end PBY-5 -

Eight P-40M fighters of No. 16 Squadron Royal New Zealand Air Force provided bottom cover to a force of USAF Consolidated B-24 Liberators bombing Kahili. On the way home, two Kiwi pilots dropped back to cover a damaged B-24, which was under attack by eight to 10 Zeros. They were successful in driving off the attackers and escorted the bomber safely back to base. For their efforts, both pilots, Flight Lieutenant M.T. Vanderpump and Flight Sergeant J.E. Miller, received the American Distinguished Flying Cross, the first awarding of the decoration made to RNZAF personnel.
