    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.

    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.

    Fantastic care and attention to details!

    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.

    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?
  7. Menrva
    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

    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.

    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.

    Ace Combat 8

    Menrva replied to DEVIL11's topic in The Pub

    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.

    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).
  12. Menrva
    @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.
  13. Menrva
    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.
  14. Menrva
    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.

    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.
  16. Menrva
    Yes. I want to point out that TK removed all references to the (vaporware) Win10 edition of Strike Fighters 2. I think it's a clear sign that an update or newer version of Strike Fighters 2 is never going to happen.
  17. Menrva
    Strike Fighters 2 Win10 Edition has been vaporware for years, so many that Win10 already reached its end of life cycle and support. Even a Win11 Edition would be kind of late now, with Windows 12 apparently being not too far away. I doubt TK has the resources or the interest to update the PC games anymore. It is a huge pity, those games carry tremendous potential, and having them available for purchase at more affordable prices at a store like GOG or Steam would be better than what he's doing now. We've been beating this dead horse for so many years that, who knows, maybe a miracle happens and the horse wakes up.
  18. Menrva
    @saisran that sucks. Try installing the game outside of Program Files, Windows is more and more restrictive when executing applications installed in there. Hopefully that is enough of a workaround, otherwise we have a problem.

    A new welcome addition to the world of Strike Fighters!
  20. Menrva
    I can only understand, to build one requires a lot of time and work, it feels like a very time consuming and boring task. If you ever work on a new one, think that it could also be used for the F-35s with that additional canopy bow; much like what the developers did in the Joint Strike Fighter game from 1997, where the X-32 and X-35 literally have the same pit, just the latter with that cockpit bow.
  21. Menrva
    Is it the one I released in my F-35 package? It seems so. You're free to use it, but please keep the credits, the cockpit textures are not entirely my work. For this F-32 I actually wish we had something different without that upper frame, but it cannot be hidden through .ini data tweaks in this cockpit, it's all part of the same cockpit mesh. By the way, this old F-35 cockpit was made by Klavs81, who sadly passed away time ago.
  22. Menrva
    None so far. Unless you're in a hurry, I'd say let's wait and see what happens. If the digital store isn't restored at some point, we'll have to try contacting TK and ask him if the PC games are abandonware or not.
  23. Menrva
    Me too, but this doesn't mean it's acceptable. It's a disservice to other users and for those wishing to buy it. First of all, I hope TK is doing fine. Second, I hope the site comes back online and that we can get an explanation. We've had the feeling the games were abandoned by TK for years, time for ThirdWire to clarify their intentions about it.
  24. Menrva
    What the title says, I cannot get into ThirdWire's website. I can't download my purchases from the store anymore if I wanted to. This isn't looking good, I wish TK could explain what's going on.
  25. Menrva

    Time to move on.

    My best wishes to you, René. You've provided the community with fantastic creations. When I'm around here I'll make sure your contributions are properly credited if used or included elsewhere. As Wrench already said, stop by once in a while! You're part of CA's history among the greatest modders of Strike Fighters.
