infantry mods in sf2
yakarov79 replied to debmalya's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
oh oh oh...island swarmed with kaiju. Maybe add Rodan...(that was the name of that flying kaiju?) And it would not be strange or weird. Just something new... Even DCSers do not have such good ideas. -

There are rumors that Raytheon, Lockheed, and other ordnance manufacturers are going to restart their production to improve and match ravenclaw's level of detail.- 504 replies

infantry mods in sf2
yakarov79 replied to debmalya's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
ahh... You are weirdos... You want to add raindrops to fresh leaves and simulate photosynthesis... while we should spend all our mission time in the cockpit. Not wandering through meadows and looking for ornithological curiosities. -

Create a new "weapon" refueling probe, just ini files with specificstaioncode=xyz, in helo data.ini make a new weapon station for this new fake weapon with specificstationcode=xyz and lines ModelNodeName=A2A_Refuel. You can add it now in the loadout menu, and/or loadout.ini with startdefaultdate= We have been doing this for years... -
There is a whole mod/campaign, Wings over Korea. Also, Scandinavian front covers that period, although a fictional conflict. North Atlantic RSR edition. Go to downloads, SF2 subcategory - missions/campaigns... you will find something for sure. And remember, playing is just a small part of this game (that part is less important) - modding is where all the fun begins. So you can create your own mod in a period and area that only you can dream of.

Well, it is just a few 'few'. Anyway, those are the ones that are finished (although I have some ini edits on the way, as I want to use FM that is already used in the uploaded Danish F-104). But more importantly, except for Japan and the Maple Leafs, I have no plans to create more country variants. So do not expect much more. I think Soulfreak made Greek skins though... -

View File Starfighters - Kongelige Danske Flyvevåbnet Royal Danish Air Force Starfighters. This mod is not to compete with any previous packs. It is just my different approach. So before removing/overwriting some older stuff, test this one - as you may not like it. Basic modding skills are required to run this mod. (copy/paste, mod folder structure, etc.) Install: Copy and paste specific folders into the correct destination. A fake pilot is required to run this mod. Also, the Thirdwire F-104 cockpit is required from the original game. Fuel tanks- Tanks are just ini files. The mod uses tanks that are part of an aircraft lod. Before uploading, I was hoping I could finish the cockpit. But sometimes the universe has different plans...so you will have to wait for the proper cockpit, probably 2 more weeks. And for TF too. In the game, under a prefix.KDF. * You will find F-104G / CF-104 that served in the Royal Danish Air Force. * Kongelige Danske Flyvevåbnet First, I planned to upload both CF-104 and F-104G. But I think it will be quite appropriate and okay to make them as one F-104G. After acquiring the Canadian CF-104, airframes were castrated into the F-104G standard. Unlike other operators of the CF-104, these airframes had only a few differences compared to the Lockheed F-104G. With only visible counterweights on wing pylons, which probably no one would notice. So, in the end, I combined serial numbers/decals from both into one Danish F-104G. But, if someone wants, I can upload it later, a specific Danish CF-104. All skins are in 4096x4096 format. You can easily resize as needed. Decals represent historically correct serial numbers assigned to aircraft during their service in the Danish Air Force, for a specific year, squadron, etc. Credits. The original model - Bobrock, Soulfreak, and Me. Yours truly - mambo jumbo like skins, decals, some effects, research... I have no idea who made the pilot model; it is an old model used almost everywhere, I just repainted the skin. cabin light effects - guuruu All weapons by Ravenclaw, you should have them by now, but I have included what is listed in loadout.ini.

uh. Living in Bergen, have not seen that in-game, but the scenery is indeed stunning. To make it more real, you should always have tons of clouds and rain. -

ODS30AE has good infantry units, with variable weapons; they pop some smokes and have stingers. All thanks to guuruu. -
knowing Nightshade - first of many... IT is the most important part of air war, which game developers always omit. Unfortunately. Apparently, "fighter ace" is more appealing to the wallet. As someone said, fighter pilots make movies; the rest make history. What I would give for a proper sim that covers CSAR.

you should not. SAM systems are placed by the game automatically based on targets.ini. The Targets.ini file that is placed within the terrain folder contains coordinates that will place the whole SAM system during the game. If terrain.ini contains SAM_launcher, SAM_radar and ewr entries SAMs during the game will be placed properly and will work properly. Placing via the mission editor will cause only frustration.

View File TAV-8B Harrier II -SF2 TAV-8B Harrier II. Basic modding skills are required to run this mod. (copy/paste, mod folder structure, etc.) It is designed for and works only in the SF2 series. So after a few years of lazzynes... First of all...If you want to count rivets....Do not. Many things could be done another way....But I did it my way. So you have to bear with it. There are still some small issues with the flight model and generally aircraft handling, but FM is not my sandbox. All skins are in 3072x3072 format. If you have problems running this in-game. Resize skins to lower resolutions Three sets of skins represent different periods of usage by VMAT-203 All serials are correct and historically accurate. For some reason, I have added weapons that are present in Loadout.ini. But remember, this version was intended to be a training aircraft for the USMC. So, not much of the 'Mud mover' spirit. Animations: 1= canopy open - close Activating the hook will transfer you from the front to the back seat - be aware that when you change seats, you can not change back...At least in this version.. If you want to jump like crazy from one seat to another, you have to edit the data.ini file yourself - I will not be part of this madness.

that airframe... base for countless possibilities

yeah...I know something about it...But still I am going back to my models... "nah... will just correct this small part...and maybe this"...then I have made for third time AH-1G
-
Holly molly...We want that Hornet in SF2, too? That was the same with me... to try out if I can make a simple mod. Time-consuming, but very relaxing hobby (at least some part of it) ...and less mess than with plastic model kits.

Anti-flutter weights. At some point of development, on T-10-1 to T-10-11 (except T-10-7 and T-10-8), anti-flutter wings were also added on the leading edges of wings near the tips and on the horizontal stabilizer near the root. Those anti-flutter weights (on the vertical stabilizer stayed only on early production Su-27. By the way, those are not tail wings; you can call them fins or vertical stabilizers. Not on the flight sim forum (even if it is light sim)....Shame, Shame, Shame...
