Issues extracting the ODS zip files?
Menrva replied to Chugster's topic in Mods & Skinning Discussion
Update your software first, you need the latest version of WinRAR or 7-Zip. Complete instructions on how to properly install the mod here: Next time, please use the mod's support topic for questions (the one linked above), to open a new topic for such matters is not the best way. -
Question on Hit Boxes and Collision Points
Menrva replied to snapper 21's topic in Mods & Skinning Discussion
More accurate ones certainly improve realism and accuracy in gameplay. Yes, some stock aircraft don't have precise ones. For the ODS 30AE mod I personally fixed and improved collision points and hit boxes for over 100 aircraft, both stock and third-party. It is no walk in the park and it isn't funny, so I won't suggest others to do the same for such an amount of aircraft. Thanks to mue's LODViewer we can edit them much easily and very precisely, but it takes times. -
Nope, as far as I know. I had the same issue with some airports on some of the terrains I made. You can only approximate to either 239 or 240.

Operation Desert Storm: 30th Anniversary Edition
Menrva replied to Menrva's topic in File Announcements
Yes, everything seems how it should be. Thank you for fixing it! No idea. I dragged the files with the relative option, nothing out of the ordinary. What I did though was removing the attachment and reuploading it, since I improved the textures in the package minutes after the first upload.- 276 replies

Odd, it seems to work just fine, I downloaded it on my end. @Erik any ideas on what is going on with the above attachment?- 276 replies

Operation Desert Storm: 30th Anniversary Edition
Menrva replied to Menrva's topic in File Announcements
Nope, the ODS 30AE mod doesn't use the F-14A from North Atlantic, it uses the TMF ones which are better and more period correct, so SF2 NA is required for the avionics' DLL but not for the INI data. It may be a bug, thanks for reporting, I'll look into it when possible. EDIT: it was a nasty one to figure out, the RWR textures for the cockpit apparently lost their alpha channels; just unpack the following inside Objects\Aircraft\F-14A\Cockpit and it'll work: F-14A_RWR_hotfix.zip- 276 replies

We'll see if I ever manage to finish it one day, too big of a terrain project by covering the entire continent of Usea from the Ace Combat universe (according to my calculations it should be in full scale). Grey areas are not part of Usean countries, hence they are grey in the planning map.

Operation Desert Storm: 30th Anniversary Edition
Menrva replied to Menrva's topic in File Announcements
You must download all 4 zip files (.001, .002, .003, .004) and then unzip the .001 part while keeping the other three in the same directory. If all 4 zip parts have been downloaded correctly and fully and you still have errors, it means you have to update your unzipping software, I suggest using the latest available version of 7-Zip.- 276 replies

I bought the Premium Joker Flight Pack edition (with a little discount thanks to points accumulated at Bandai Namco's store), enough said! Project ACES is one of few development teams that deserve my money. Ace Combat 7 wasn't as good as previous main titles of the series, but it was plagued by development hell and the developers had to master using a new game engine. Now, after some six years of development, Ace Combat 8 has all the cards to become one of the best entries.

are the devs of strikefighters2 doing anything new?
Menrva replied to stalinsons's topic in General Discussion
ThirdWire is only focused on the mobile game and its PC port, and it's been so for several years, so nothing to be expected about Strike Fighters 2 which hasn't been touched since 2013 (13 years ago). -
@starfighter006 there's no use in editing or creating new STR files when adding new medals. Originally SF1 games featured multiple languages, hence STR files were useful in those cases when a different language was selected and loaded. SF2 is only in English so STR files for medals are no longer needed, they're just a remnant of SF1 using STRs for their strings. There's no utility to edit those as far as I know, hex-editing is the only way.

SF1 Modding Experts – Please Introduce Yourselves
Menrva replied to aceplayer390's topic in General Discussion
Alright then. Rarely there would be SF1 specific issues, SF2 is just an upgrade of the same thing, modding on both is rather interchangeable. If you have specific questions that haven't been answered already in the Knowledge Base (https://combatace.com/forums/forum/349-strike-fighters-knowledge-base/), then create a topic and those with SF modding knowledge will answer, regardless if it's SF1 or SF2. The games have been modded for 20+ years, and the forums are also filled with topics on how to do this or that. Use the search bar (https://combatace.com/search/) and you'll likely find that your question has already been answered in other past topics. -
SF1 Modding Experts – Please Introduce Yourselves
Menrva replied to aceplayer390's topic in General Discussion
Very useful topic indeed, especially making a distinction between SF1 and SF2 modders, as if both games require entirely different skills while in reality they have most if not all features and modding tools in common (some folks have been modding the games for 20+ years, moved on to SF2 when it became the better modding platform). Thank you for taking the time of writing something this useful and for making me spend time reading it. PS: stop treating people like servants and maybe next time you'll get more help. -
Operation Desert Storm: 30th Anniversary Edition
Menrva replied to Menrva's topic in File Announcements
Autopilot works just fine, you're likely flying for one of the units based in airfields far from the game's playable world, as such you won't be able to land on such places. If you like to land, select a unit which is based in airfields closer to Iraq. You can only land in the airfields shown in the planning map screen, anything else outside of it only exists as AI-only off map airbases.- 276 replies
