They were at Bagotville Air Show a month ago along with Snowbirds and they did a flyover over Ottawa on Canada day. Tragedy at Air Shows in the past are making safer one's today...

Texture issue
1977Frenchie replied to ludo.m54's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
Encountered this strange bug about one year ago with the engine sound (think it was one of the F-18E). I installed the bird in a mod and the engine sound file got corrupted somewhere... I download back the plane and it was ok (i put back the first version of every file and when i put the engine one i got a stealthy hornet)... I scratched my head to find it back then :) -

Per Coupi said, the IFR wing pods should be added because the RCAF MRTT's will have them, except the 330002 (VIP) and 330003 (STANDARD) as these will be transport only (no refueling capabitilies so on these the refueling boom should be remove)... Yeah, we like to take simple things and make them complicated in Canada :)

S-2F RCAF Skin pack (CP-121) + layered template

Version 1.0.1

To be used on SF2 S-2F Tracker by the Dev A-Team You will get the following skins in this package : Reworked : CANA New : RCAF 1970 RCAF 1980 RCAF 1990 Installation: Copy the current pack objects/aircraft folder in your game S-2F aircraft folder. Copy the current pack objects/decals folder in your game S-2F decals folder. Copy the S-2F.ini and S-2F_DATA.ini to the game S-2F aircraft folder. On the original skin (reworked one), i only did minor corrections so all credits goes to the original persons. For the reworked one's, all done by me. RCAF serials and plane numbers are real one's and changes have been made to them to reflect the S-2F to CP-121 modex when change occured. Note on RCAF skins: I did not do the 2 other ''first scheme'' and the alternate 1980 one as i did not find it relevant and they were short lived too. Credits: Thanks to Thirdwire for creating the Strike Fighters series. Thanks to those involved in the original aircraft. Me for the redraw of the panel lines and paint work + new skins :). Happy flights! Mario C. Frenchie1977 -

What If Screenshot Thread.......
1977Frenchie replied to Dave's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Screen Shots
The US have kept secret the development of special weapons that were made for the newly Space Force. In the year 2023, the United Space Space Force received their 12 first fighter pod for their Earth Base (tail code EB). In the year 2026, the squadron to be based on the moon (tail code MB) will received their 12 fighter pods. Picture of the Space Force fighter pod 007 after takeoff from Earth base. -

1977Frenchie replied to 1309mariano's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
That simplifies a lot. Note that the ''side'' roundels have changed in 2017-2018 period. See this image as exemple As for the squadrons, you must have the 410 as this is the Tactical Fighter Operational Training Squadron. Would be a good thing to have the 401 or 409 (Cold Lake) as the West component, but i would surely put the 425 or 433 (Bagotville) for the East component. And i would not go with more than 24 birds (2 sqn of 12 unit) if it's to fill a gap (we don't have that much money) :) For the Sqn decals, a lot have already been done on the CF-18 i made the decals for on the ODS30th anniversary project. Might have to take a look :) As for the name, as there is already the CT-155 Hawk in RCAF inventory and going with the RCAF plane number designations, i would doubt they would name the F-15 CF-155. So I would go with CF-115 instead. All serials number will have 6 numbers beginning by 115 (115001, 115002, and so on). You can send me what you will have done and test it with pleasure and give you my comments :) -

Canadian F-15 version... a what-if that was almost reality when the US wanted us to buy the F-14 that were sold to Iran but not been delivered when the agreement collapsed due to regime change :) Plan to do what exactly (sqdn, time period, etc.) -

1977Frenchie replied to Wrench's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Screen Shots
These CF-5A's (CF-116) always looked good. My two cents : Your side decals are wrong :) ''CANADIAN ARMED FORCES'' on left side and ''FORCES ARMÉES CANADIENNES'' on right side. and Canadian flag is too big on the tail. But great looking! -

RCAF taking delivery of their first two CF-355A -
Don't get me wrong, but the marking for the RCAF on your bird is not ok. Especially the tail which do not represent the RCAF markings system. You should also use the current system markings. I made a 410Sqn RCAF F-35 skin but i did not posted the file at CA because is was far from my standrad for a release:) I think the RCAF might call it the CF-135 or CF-355 (a plain guess here) if i got with their past designations... However, always glad to se people wanting to do RCAF stuff! See pictures of what i done then. Forget the beginning of the serial numbers (151...) as it as on the CF-151 thing months ago :) I think i might revisit the V2.0 skin i started for various squadrons. You can be sure the 409, 410, 425 and 433 will get some of the new fighters along with the 414. But now that the choice is almost made to get the F-35, i'm just wondering if they will go for a dark scheme or not :) Updated version :
