Good Campaigns/Must have mods?
yakarov79 replied to Spellbound's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
yes ... few you can find in the download section. On the other hand. What is your interest? What kind of mods you are interested. What are you expecting from mod? Then go to download section and get some, check, play. and so on. If you just came across SF2...might be you need to read the knowledge section of this forum...So you will not be surprised or disappointed. The thing with this game is.. mods are modable. So you can change anything in existing mods. to your expectations. But this is a different story. Get familiar with the game and modding structure. As for the campaigns.. some good mods have good campaigns within. -

stop the game from overwriting files
yakarov79 replied to whiteknight06604's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
Yes, it is annoying. After years I've made one ultimate solution - unfortunately, it screws campaign thing (I haven't played campaign since 2010 so am fine with it now) . Thing is. All stock modified by me aircraft has a different name of a folder - example standard Canberra B2 changed name RAF_CanberraB2. and so on. Literally, I have no stock named aircraft - no way game will overwrite this. If the game decides to overwrite it will just create new folders of stock planes..but no harm to my modded ones. Same goes with my ground objects...no stock name. Yes, it is a strange thing but I'm fine with this. And I have everything the way I want. And the game will not fool with me anymore. But this is my solution. I -

HH-53B, HH-53C, CH-53C Super Jolly Green Over Vietnam
yakarov79 replied to yakarov79's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - File Announcements
I've just uploaded a new 3rd version of a file. (In fact it is 2nd version..but 2nd ver. was never released) Now BM and SM maps added. Small changes here and there. Reworked cockpit. Now it is more correct for Knife / Jolly Green Giant - probably no one cares or will see a difference. I bought manuals so I've made changes. Anyway. Read info on the download page. If you have already an old version all aircraft folders must be deleted. After testing with overwrite some errors occurred. Decals/ weapons etc..are all fine. Aircraft must be replaced. kind regards. updated pits for Sea Stallions available in the signature link. -

View File HH-53B, HH-53C, CH-53C Super Jolly Green Over Vietnam Sikorsky CH-53C Knife, HH-53B and HH-53C Super Jolly Green Giant Over Vietnam Ver 3.0 for SF2 This is a third party add-on of early rescue / special operations Sikorsky helicopter HH-53B, HH-53C and CH-53C It is designed for and works only in SF2 series. And will never work in SF1. March 2016 February 2019 ************************************************************* This is FREEWARE-DONATIONWARE and it CANNOT be distributed unless permissions are granted by myself. The original readmes, if any, and all other pieces of the package MUST remain intact. The names of all contributors, modders, suppliers, etc =MUST= be listed in any new readmes. This package and any part of it may NOT in any way, shape or form be used in any payware additions. See the original readme documentation, if any, for further allowances and restrictions Any persons wishing to make further modifications, contact me first.

Bribes and donations are accepted; ************************************************************* ************************************************************* THIS AIRCRAFT MOD OR ANY PART OF IT MUST NOT BE HOSTED OR POSTED FOR DOWNLOAD ON ANY OTHER WEB SITE WITHOUT MY EXPRESS PERMISSION, OR USED FOR ANY OTHER PURPOSE THAN THIRDWIRE FLIGHT SIMULATORS, AND MUST NOT BE SOLD OR OFFERED FOR SALE BY ITSELF OR WITH ANY OTHER FILES OR MODS. ************************************************************* CHANGES: I highly recommend to overwrite previous files decals/weapons/guns- or best is delete the old one and put new files. YOU NEED TO DELETE OLD AIRCRAFT FOLDERS CH-53Cand HH-53C and HH-53B from Vietnam pack. Many things were changed and as tested Overwriting may cause some problems...So delete old ones put new ones. The rest (except Aircraft folders) are same can be overwritten without fear. Small changes in ini files, corrections on fuel loadout, changes in cockpit ini. Small changes in skins. Also No longer fake weapon "no gun" is needed - thanks to The Trooper. He pointed small fix in data.ini. Added simple bump and specular maps. Also added damage tgas. Major changes in the cockpit - now it is much more correct. Although probably not everyone cares ore will see a difference. Anyway. ******************IMPORTANT****************** FakePilot mod needed to run this mod. As always. Standard animation commands HH-53 C: LANDING GEAR - Nose light deploy/retract at any speed. ANIMATION 1 - cargo ramp half open ANIMATION 2 - cabin windows ANIMATION 3 - wipers outside/inside ANIMATION 4 - refueling probe Hook - changes position when refueling to see the tip of the spear. rescue op: Open "bombbay" doors - cargo ramp and right side hatch/door ANIMATION 8 - Open side doors, lower jungle penetrator ANIMATION 9 - deploy PJ ANIMATION 10 - lower/raise hoist. Animation 8, 9 and 10 have a speed limit. So you can't hoist on full speed. With little practice, you can even hoover. Without fake flaps and airbrakes. Important here to control is using rudder and vector thrust control. Normally throttle vector control on 88-89 degree increase power 70% then slowly more and more, wait and it will take off. Cockpits. One cockpit for HH-53C and CH-53C equipped with RWR and one cockpit for earlier non rwr HH-53B. Historically not all HH-53C airframes were equipped with RWR. BUt this mod covers RWR mod installed. Skins. All serial numbers are based on available photos and are historically correct and few versions of one unit for each helo. Few versions of one unit for each helo. CH-53C 21st SOS HH-53C 37th and 40th ARRS HH-53B 37th and 40th ARRS Weapons. The only "offensive" weapon is left/right side gunner equipped with GAU-2 minigun. Well, it is quite a defensive weapon. Unlike in pack 'Over Europe' here CH-53C can't be equipped with a refueling probe (small ini tweak will do the trick). Fuel Tanks 450 US Gal. for CH-53C and HH-53C and 650 US Gal. for HH-53B There is a separate weapon station called SandyStation - with allowed all sort of offensive weapons. Purpose of this station is to fly with Sandy (or any other USAF aircraft) as wingman fully loaded. Same way can be added Sandy fuel tanks. IMPORTANT - Due to tu construction of this mod, it is better to use collision and landing on NORMAL setting. On hard, you may have some complications on the airfield - especially with underslung cargo load. Pilots - best to use is OldDiego's pilots. Have fun. Edit and report bugs. Jarek Hereda.

Don't know why but maybe the problem is in graphics settings of your pc. you can try to resize skins. By default, I'm doing skins in 4096x4096 so the end user can resize to the desired resolution. -

Did you add in data in file of weapon (ecm pod) model name lines ? [WeaponData001] TypeName=ALQ-164 FullName=AN/ALQ-164 ECM Pod ModelName= HERE should be name of the lod. currently i don't remember how i named it ALQ-164 ? Mass=159.000000 Diameter=0.405000 Length=3.500000 But of course, you are not using it with my latest Harrier. As new one has pod built in the main model. -

or mosquito pit.. generally it is also a fast bomber. @UllyB keep it going. Thing is just a few modders here...and mostly lazzy ones. But seriously all of them are occupied by own projects....so convincing can be a challenge. I know someone who would do such a thing because it's fun but he is mostly into silly choppers and strange stuff...and for sure not on the red side of the game. -
