F-4D Phantoms Cockpits
dtmdragon replied to ravenclaw_007's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
One thing to try with the rwr issue is the format you are saving the rwr image as. I can't speak to photoshop or gimp because I use paint.net but I have had an issue where a radar screen image was saved with a parameter changed that made it not show up in the game. Also those with a problem could try bmp or jpeg format to see if one works over the other. -
F-4D Phantoms Cockpits
dtmdragon replied to ravenclaw_007's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
Weapons manual shows ripple quantities of single, pairs and full ripple: From T.O. 1F-4C-34-1-1 "Weapon Selector Knob The weapon selector knob, placarded WPN SEL, is a rotary type switch with eight positions; only seven positions are used. This switch is used to select the type of munitions and method of release. The switch positions are BOMBS-SINGLE, BOMBS-PAIRS, BOMBS-RIPPLE, RKTS & DISP-SINGLE, RKTS & DISP-PAIRS, GAM-83 (AGM-12), and AGM-45. Note..... ....The only automatic mode of intervalometer operation is BOMBS-RIPPLE. In the automatic mode, the bomb button is depressed and held until the bomb release sequence is complete. The manual mode requires that the bomb button be actuated for each release." Interesting the picture in the manual shows bombs: single, triple and ripple not bombs: single, pairs and ripple like in the text of the manual. This could all be after a modification from the early F-4D/E with no ripple selection like you were talking about? -

@ravenclaw_007 great work mate! I have picked up that the missile selected lights for Falcon stations are not lighting up when the falcon missile is selected but the A/G outer and inner pylon selected and armed lights are instead. Looks like just a numbering issue for the missile selected lights but the link from the falcon stations to the A/G outer and inner pylon lights needs to be removed or the nodes made inactive. Sidewinder and Sparrow lights are all working correctly -
Spinners favorite?
dtmdragon posted a topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Sci-Fi/Anime/What If Forum
I was going to ask you this in a PM but I thought others might be interested in your answer. For me the almost unlimited 'what if' aspect of SF2 is one of the most attractive things about the game. You @Spinners have to be one of the most prolific 'what if' guys here, so my question to you is; What is your absolute favorite 'what if' mod you have ever done? And what is you absolute favorite 'what if' mod someone else has done? (Screenshots and links too please 😁) -
Need help with HUD (HUDModeAG) editing for gun sight depressionn
dtmdragon replied to Eagle114th's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
My own work around (no HUD) cockpit.7z [CockpitData] Directory=cockpit HUDMode=CAGED,AA,AG RippleQuantity=1,2,4 RippleInterval=60,100,140 [GunsightFront] HasGunsight=TRUE GunsightMilSize=50 GunsightName=Meteor8_lead.tga AGGunsightName=Meteor8_lead_AG GunsightComputedName=Meteor8_sight.tga LeadComputing=TRUE MinLeadRange=182.88 MaxLeadRange=731.52 DefaultLeadRange=300 MaxDepression=250 DefaultDepression=50 RocketDepression=50 All functions are 100% historically accurate including the boresight cross in the air-to-air mode with the gyro sight enabled. It could be turned off and on by the pilot, he could even have the entire fixed (AG) sight (cross and circle) displayed as well as the gyro sight but most would just have the small cross from the fixed sight showing as well as the gyro sight. This was the same on WWII RAF gyro sights although most did not have the depressable function for the fixed sight at that stage. -

dtmdragon replied to Eagle114th's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
If your setting up the AG gunsight via the [HUD] eg harrier etc, it can only be as a CCIP not a fixed depressable sight like when it is solely setup via the cockpit.ini eg F-4 etc -

One more question...
dtmdragon replied to amariani's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
There is a maximum number of decals per node but I'm not sure what it is. Also there is some weird things when it comes to decals. For instance changing the order of the decals in the decal.ini file can make them suddenly appear when they didn't before. On the standard TW F-8 the BU numbers added to the vertical stab show up fine but on the DLC F-8K they suddenly don't but when I moved them to the front of the decal.ini list they did. Go figure 🤷 -

F-4E Kurnass pack WIP
dtmdragon posted a topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
Utilizing Ravenclaw_007 and teams latest F-4E pack to create the Israeli Airforce specific F-4E variants used in the 1973 Yom Kippur war. There were three separate deliveries prior to the war and due to the variations of the Blocks all sorts of different configurations of ECM antenna, strike camera, slats/ flaps, 'slime' lights, MIDAS4 etc not to mention local upgrades of 'slime' lights, MIDAS4 muzzle mods and slat instillations. Now throw in the Operation Nickle Grass emergency aid aircraft during the war! I have rounded them all up into 3 in-game varients: - F-4E Kurnass - F-4E Kurnass Hard-Wing & MIDAS4 - F-4E Kurnass (73)- 27 replies

The F-8K was used mainly by the Marines squadrons in the States and did not see any combat. F-8L - The F-8L is the F-8B airframes rebuilt to extend their service life starting in 1969. It is updated with the same wing as the F-8H as well as the landing gear from the F-8D/ E, but it did not receive any engine or avionics updates. The F-8L was used mainly by the Reserve squadrons in the States and did not see any combat. To install: 1, Unpack and drop into your main mods folder. 2, Override when prompted.

Thanks for that mate, so in the photo you mention is the empty rails for the Python 3 the 'special underpylon adapter' or the extended ones that replace the AIM-9 rails in the traditional location? -

F-4E Kurnass pack WIP
dtmdragon replied to dtmdragon's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
Thanks mate, does it specify D model Sidewinders or could they be G models? My understanding was they used G models by this stage but since they look identical to the D models there can be a lot of confusion. On a different note during research into Kurnass weapons for this time period (1982) I found out the IAF F-15 could only carry the G model at the time and not the L. And if they carried the Python it was on a special dual missile rail carried on the wing stations in place of the drop tanks. You can replicate it in the game with the stock TW 2IR quite easily. It was immediately after the war that they deveoloped the modified extended sidewinder rails to carry Pythons in place of the Sidewinders. Also what book did you find the photo in? Link to podcast episode if your interested. He talkes about planning a strike on Bagdad during Desert Storm with the Kurnass 2000 and Popeye missiles. https://open.spotify.com/episode/1fsWsT2ZfMxTzj2uVIiC4x?si=p9eKyNJ5RhypH1wGcT4KVA -
