TW Store - Down for anyone else or just me?
ianh755 replied to ianh755's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
It was the Mirage IIIO (RAAF). I'm really into South African A/C at the moment (too much USAF/USN flying recently!) and the Cheetah-C/E in particular which uses this DLC as it's baseline. -

CV-22 Bomber/Attacker request
ianh755 replied to PilotSanders's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
It looks fine as it is for me I'll be using it as a USAF Rescue bird for picking up downed pilots behind enemy lines after fighting their way through the enemies defences (like the MH-60L Direct Action Penetrator but with a cargo capacity) rather than a bomber so the weapons fit would be a variety of lightweight guided/unguided A-G/A-A missiles (Hellfire/Maverick/Stinger/Sidearm/JAGM etc) and gun pods rather than bombs. -

As I posted above, If you ever re-do it for SF2 I'll still be the 1st in the queue to download it I just love the Pave Low nose and the weapons possibilities! -

Very noob member MiG-29 doubt
ianh755 replied to Boresight's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
HMS - No, it's not coded for in the game. R-73 missiles - Yes, and they have a slightly wider FOV to account for being HMS cue'd IRL but not in-game. -
Noticed this ?

I thought it kept the pylon visible on the 3D model even if the pylon was selected as "Empty" using the in-game weapons editor, as normally the pylons without anything loaded via the in-game editor would disappear from the model. Or is that what you were saying? -
Super Hornet Package for SF2 v4.1
ianh755 replied to EricJ's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - File Announcements
Eric - The F-18E Bk2 and both the F blk 1 & 2 have an engine noise missing. The data.ini's call out for a "GEF414b" which isn't in the pack whereas the ones that work call for a "GEF1414" which is there. -

That's right JediMaster, although there's not many UK residents would know that any more sadly as it's "cool" to be thick in the UK! -

Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series Work in progress Thread
ianh755 replied to KnightWolf45's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
Loving the Fouga Magister, such a rare aircraft to have in any flight sim! Although the things I'm really looking forward to being released on CA (by various people) are the Su-24/30/33/34/35 family! -
Hi all, just a quick question regarding bump maps. I'm using the Nvidia PS plug-in and PS CS3 and need help with the following - For a bump map to work does the 3d model require anything added to it in the LOD or can I bump map any skin I have a template for as long as I add the bump map as "name of skin"_Normal.bmp in the A/C folder? I've done a test on the FRS1 skins and it doesn't seem to show up in-game. Cheers!

Bump Mapping help with Nvidia Photoshop Plugin?
ianh755 replied to ianh755's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
Thanks for the answer guys, I knew it sounded too easy ***EDIT*** - Cheers Russo! I've sorted the Nose leg issue with some ridiculous Nose Gear ini edits too. ***EDIT No2*** - Here's a crazy thought, can you add bump maps to the damage.dds or is it just the skin??? -

Cocas - It's in the SF1 section, I've just tweaked the data.ini for the weapons and added a block 52 cockpit from the F-16 megapack. There's also a whole bunch of what-if skins in the SF1 section for the XL too! F-16XL - http://combatace.com/files/file/5011-f-16xl-version-20/ -

The demo JAGM triple launcher looks like a clone of the Brimstone launcher anyway so I'd just use that for the time being. The JAGM itself has gone through a visual design change too from the Brimstone/HellfireMW base missile to more of a Harpoon layout with it's fins. -

Have a quick read of this, it should explain the different file locations in SF2 and where to find them - http://combatace.com/topic/62302-what-is-the-mod-folder/ -
An Interesting Book For Dave and those with a fondness for instant Sunshine...
ianh755 replied to Slartibartfast's topic in Military and General Aviation
A Megafortress would be an amazing addition to SF2 - Please make it happen Dave, Please!!!!! -
Come on now Slarti be fair The Tonka can do more than a Harrier plus the carriers needed to be scrapped due to cost so without carriers the Harrier's only trump card, SVTOL, wasn't worth all the negatives over scrapping the Tonka. As a techie however I much preferred the 5 years I spent on GR7's over my time on GR4's! Sitting in the front seat of a GR4 felt like going back to the 70's with Jags etc but the backseat was very good!

***The A-16E Strike Falcon*** I really seriously liked the A-16 colour scheme from the A-16 Blk25 release but thought a bang upto date version was needed so I decided to harass anyone with a F-16 template (sorry all!) so that I could tweak the IAF F-16I Sufa to become the A-16E Strike Falcon. I beefed up the wings and engine slightly, used the Brimstone for the AGM-169 JCM (now discontinued for the JAGM), carried over the GPU-5 from the original A-16 release and tweaked the decal locations to avoid the newer Sufa bits. I've still got the A-16C Blk 52 to finish as well for the legacy upgrade to the original Blk 25 version.
