Operation Desert Storm: 30th Anniversary Edition
Menrva replied to Menrva's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - File Announcements
Yes, it's normal, it's an issue of the game engine, not of the mod. It doesn't always happen, it's random. When multiple effects are rendered, it is more likely that FPS drops in TV mode. Given the mod also features higher fidelity assets than the stock game, it is more likely to happen. But I also have the issue with the stock games.- 225 replies

Operation Desert Storm: 30th Anniversary Edition
Menrva replied to Menrva's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - File Announcements
You can't, it's not a naval campaign like SF2 North Atlantic. By turning it into a naval campaign, night missions are always disabled (blame TK for this design decision). The only reasonable workaround would be to add static ships to the terrain around the area of the carriers. It's something I might do one day.- 225 replies

Late Model RF-4C's : Photo Phantoms After Vietnam
Menrva replied to daddyairplanes's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - File Announcements
@Muesli I see you posted a 4-star review and explained why. Unfortunately, that is not an issue that daddyairplanes can resolve. Microsoft Defender and most browsers these days classify anything with a .7z format as a virus, while it clearly is not. It's a false positive, simply put. Defender and the likes are using machine learning algorithms to identify viruses. I wouldn't trust the AI for simpler tasks, let alone identifying viruses. -
Formosa Freedom Enhancement
Menrva replied to Viggen's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mission & Campaign Building Discussion
@Viggen This is what I had, definitely not good enough since it was an early work in progress dating back to almost 10 years ago or so: CampaignT1.zip The OOB might be pretty wrong. What I recall is that the Chinese navy ships that JonathanRL used for the campaign actually are anachronistic. I don't know if we have more period correct ones. -
Formosa Freedom Enhancement
Menrva replied to Viggen's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mission & Campaign Building Discussion
I may have something worth sharing. I recall that many years ago I modified JonathanRL's 1959 campaign to happen during the 1958 Taiwan Strait Crisis. Basically, grounded on this RL event but still keeping US involvement. I can't recall if I had fixed the OOB as well, but it's worth considering. Also, my Nations & Medals Expansion add-on fixes the insignia for the RoCAF. Due to an oversight by TK in the Nations.ini file, it was using the later '92 roundel instead of the proper one for Cold War years, despite the correct roundel texture exists in the game's files. -
How many TOD objects are possible per tile?
Menrva replied to Gepard's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
It seems you all ignored the post by @TaktischesGenie, which actually is the correct answer. Even if you mod the VertexCount values in the data.ini, it seems the game is hardcoded to only show a maximum of roughly 9k-10k vertices. It's not about the number of objects; simpler objects have less vertices than more complex ones. It's a matter of finding a compromise in order to populate a tile as best as possible. -
USAF F-16A Block 15 (Mirage Factory) for SF2 ?
Menrva replied to Coupi's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
Ditto that, I've always wondered the same. That's a good question, hope someone can give a better insight into all Block variants of F-16s. I know Blocks exist for other aircraft as well, but usually those resulted in upgrades that are not really noticeable visually. The Raptor underwent many Block updates, but those are mainly about software and avionics and compatibility with specific weapons. -
SF2 Radar/PPI display
Menrva replied to ravenclaw_007's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
That's normal, it can't be fixed. TODs are not 3d models, they are optional entities that make tiles look better in higher settings; they have no collision whatsoever, they do not exist if not just for eye-candy. Radar shows all that you can collide with, so proper terrain objects/3d models and the terrain itself. -
Vietnam-Era Lovers: Vision for Unification
Menrva replied to swambast's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
Recently I've had the desire of working on a project like ODS 30AE again, but based on the Vietnam War. I'm all in for this, we have many talented modders in here who are still active, most of them I had the pleasure to work with for ODS 30AE. Next year it'll be the 60th anniversary of Rolling Thunder, so how about ORT 60AE? If I'm on it, I can guarantee my best to make it happen with care and passion, just like we managed with ODS 30AE. -
Wings Over World Menu Screens
Menrva replied to Menrva's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - File Announcements
The package had been re-uploaded few days ago to include a very small bug fix for a detail nobody will ever notice. Today it got re-uploaded once again because all screenshots that show the mod on the download page had been lost somehow. Don't bother re-downloading if you already did since May 13 2024. -
