Maybe of interest: https://www.bulletpicker.com/ordnance-pamphlets.html This one covers several rocketlauncher variants (7-shot, Aero 6A, etc. and 19-shot Aero 7D, LAU-3/A, etc.). Differences were not clear in the past, some of them are covered here. https://www.bulletpicker.com/pdf/OP 2210 Rev 1, Aircraft Rockets.pdf -

One last thing: I don't care about original YAP and what they have done or not done, as I haven't spent a single cent on their stuff - I just don't know their stuff, so I cannot judge about the past! I unwillingly contributed to YAP-RW, because the guys just used my stuff, that I released here. For that stuff I spent A LOT of time researching, gathering infos, creating decals, creating templates and so on... Workarounds are one thing. Copy stuff from different sources together or spending 5 minutes of time to copy one skin to a different plane and say, that this is my "work" is just nonsense. I want my work to be of good quality, so they should leave my name out of this shit. I never asked my mods to be added to YAP-RW and ripped apart by people, that obviously don't care for historical correctness. Theres a simple solution for that though: Just don't use my stuff! They should do stuff by themselves and invest their own time! Have a nice day... Edit: Sorry again, for the continued hijack. It was the last time. -

I have to admit, even if the actual YAP-RW-people are not the real YAP-guys, the actual one/ones are still a bit shady to me. They give credits for stuff they use, that's cool! That's a thing, that actually worked better, than here on CA... But they also change stuff beyond all recognition or simply copy stuff together, that obviously doesn't work well and still say it's from you, although that crap isn't. Call me strange, but that's also not, how it works (at least for me). For me they are neither pure white, nor pure black - just something in between. Sorry for hijacking the thread even more. I'm out again. -

Maybe there are to many decals on Fuselage_P? Using Bump- and Specularmap reduces the maximum decalcount (I think with everything enabled, the max is 4 decals per mesh.) By the way, you don't need 2 separate files for that. You could use only one decal and mirror it for the other side: [Decal017] MeshName=Fuselage_P DecalLevel=2 DecalFacing=Left FilenameFormat=P-51D/357FG/362FS/SqNoseArtL_ Position=0.799,0.002 Rotation=0.0 Scale=4.325 DecalMaxLOD=4 [Decal022] MeshName=Fuselage_P DecalLevel=2 DecalFacing=Right FilenameFormat=P-51D/357FG/362FS/SqNoseArtL_ Position=0.799,0.002 Rotation=0.0 Scale=4.325 DecalMaxLOD=4 Reverse=TRUE P.S.: I admire your dedication for the Mustang. -
Gunsight vs. HUD
Nyghtfall posted a topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
Hey there, I've come back to a topic from the past lately. Is it possible to replicate the Gunsight-functionality with a HUD in SF2? If you have a Gunsight, than you have a simple reticle for guns, that is depressed down a bit for unguided rockets - not lead computing, CCIP, whatever. I would need that Gunsight-functionality together with an additonal marking for a laserdesignated Target. At the moment I have the Reticle + Targetmarking showing, but the Reticle doesn't move if I select unguided Rockets. In the past my workaround was a new Reticle that has 2 aimpoints - guns and rockets, so no movement was needed.

Gunsight vs. HUD
Nyghtfall replied to Nyghtfall's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
No, one of my first mods was the A-4F from VA-164 with the laser spot tracker in the nose (targetdesignation was from backseaters of TA-4F). I never liked my workaround with a double-reticle for guns+rockets. Seems like the Gunsight, that could show the designated target was from Ferranti too. Unfortunately I didn't find any pictures, type or name of it and I think, that there aren't any, given how little detail you find about the topic. Didn't know about the Australian sight. What's up with that? While searching for the experimental one above, I found 2 brochures about the Gunsights, that were used in 2 the batches of Singaporean Skyhawks from the 70s (A-4S and A-4S-1) - also from Ferranti. Maybe there's some sort of connection? Ferranti obviously was quite active... ;) -

Nyghtfall replied to Nyghtfall's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
Interesting, I didn't know that was possible. I guess, I can build something with that. After re-reading the tiny bit of information available about the realworld counterpart, I realized, that I don't have to rely on the original gunsight-reticle, since the gunsight was exchanged for something from Ferranti (no designation or type, probably even experimental). Pics are also not available, so I will just do something that works. Thanks for your help! -
WIP Mega THREAD!
Nyghtfall replied to ErikGen's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
I also tried to learn how to make Natural Metal skins lately for the F-100 Super Sabre. I wondered about values above 1.0 (Specular and Reflection). Are you sure, that there's a difference between 1.0 and 1.4? I found yakarov79's values from his F-101 Voodoo-pack just perfect (on mobile now, so I can post the exact value later). I think it was something around 0.7/0.8 for Specular/Reflection. And the result is a shiny aluminium - just fine for my taste. -
SumatraPDF is small and lightweight. Works just fine for me.

Malaysian Scooters - A-4PTM/TA-4PTM for SF2 - v1.0 ================================================== *** any SF2 that has the A-4F for the cockpit and DLC019 required for the A-4L model *** The Tentera Udara Diraja Malaysia (TUDM, or Royal Malaysian Air Force) ordered 88 surplus Skyhawks (25 A-4Cs and 63 A-4Ls) in 1980. The TUDM wanted these planes refurbished into 54 single-seaters and 14 two-seaters. However, the US government placed a temporary hold on the sale, and escalating costs due to inflation resulted in a cut in the order to only 40 aircraft. Grumman Aerospace at St. Augustine, Florida was given the contract to perform the rework on the TUDM Skyhawks. The rework included a complete rewiring, plus two extra underwing hardpoints similar to A-4E and later Skyhawks. A refurbished J65-W-20 engine was fitted. Updated electronics were also fitted, including the AN/ARN-118 TACAN, a SAAB RGS-2A lead computing weapons sight, a Lear Siegler altitude heading reference system, and an AN/ARC-164 UHF transceiver. The A-4Cs were fitted with the dorsal avionics hump. aswell as wing spoilers. A drag chute was installed below the tailpipe. A new canopy was fitted, which was slightly bulged at the sides. Some of the aircraft received preparations for the Hughes AN/ASB-19 Angles Rate Bombing System, aswell as provisions for AGM-65 Maverick missiles, but both were actually never used with these planes. Provisions for the use of AIM-9 Sidewinders were incorporated on the outer wing pylons. In the end, Grumman modified 34 aircraft. They were assigned the designation A-4PTM (where PTM stood for Peculiar to Malaysia, other sources say Persekutan Tanah Melayu - Federation of Malay States). The A-4PTM flew for the first time on April 12, 1984 and modified planes were assigned the TUDM serials of M32-07 to M32-40. Six A-4C/A-4L airframes were converted into two-place Skyhawks. This was done by inserting a 28-inch plug into the fuselage. Canopy and tandem seating arrangements were generally similar to those of the Douglas-built TA-4s. These planes were designated TA-4PTM. The TA-4PTM also featured five underwing pylons. The first TA-4PTM took off on its maiden flight on August 28, 1984. The six TA-4PTMs were given the TUDM serials of M32-01 to M32-06. Since they were based on the earlier A-4C/L, the 6 planes were among the few two-seaters, that used the J65 engine (together with early TA-4S from Singapore). Deliveries began in 1985 and were completed by February 1986. A-4PTMs served with No 6 and 9 Squadrons, both based at Kuantan AB, while TA-4PTMs served only with No 6 Squadron. Their service with the TUDM was quite brief. In 1989, it was announced that they were going to be withdrawn from service and replaced by British Aerospace Hawk Mk.208s in late 1994. Six Skyhawks were retained as tanker aircraft, using a centerline Douglas D-704 external buddy tank. By September 1999, the TUDM Skyhawks were no longer operational, and were derelict at the Royal Malaysian Air Force Base at Kuantan. Little information are available about those planes, so I tried to come as close as possible to the real ones. Cockpit is a heavily modded A-4F-cockpit modded around the fact, that the radarscreen was deleted and many intruments were rearranged to fill the space. According to Lt. Khoo those planes didn't have any countermeasures (no ECM, no Chaff/Flare-Dispensers) and probably no RWR. To add some survivability I deceided to leave RWR in the mod. ECM and Dispenser is commented out in the data.ini, so if you want to add those, just remove the //-bits. If you now ask, why the hell do we need a mod of this plane, if it barely can survive in the timeframe it was used? We do not, but I made it, because I could :P I like this plane, because it always was one of the lesser known variants of this well-known plane and for me it is one of the best-looking Skyhawks out there. So, I hope you have some fun with the Jungle Scooter. :) Installation ============ 1. unzip to a temporary folder 2. open "Put_Content_In_Your_MOOD_Folder" and do as you were told, if asked to overwrite, say 'yes' :P 3. enjoy!

What more of a sign do you need? After years of silence and ignoring the SF2 community TK came out of nowhere and wanted money. He found a few guys, that had enough hope, that this move was not just some sort of fake. And after not getting enough, he decided to go back into silence again... In my opinion, maybe at one time for a very short time he really had the idea of doing an up-to-date version, but this moment is gone for a long time. I know what not to expect.- 11 replies

I recommend using this pack for a standalone-Vietnam-War MOD-folder, as planes.inis are changed accordingly !!! That means, that no exportusers are in userlist.ini Backup your A-4B. A-4B_65, A-4C, A-4C_65, A-4E, A-4E_65, A-4E_67 and A-4F planefolders, as .inis will be overwritten 1. Create a temporary folder, copy all 3 zip-files into that folder and unpack them into this folder (overwrite is ok) Info: If you do NOT want to include the changed data.inis to your installation, just go to all planes-folders in the temporary folder (Objects/Aircraft/A-4B, etc.) and delete all ini.files in each planes-folder. 2. open "Put_Contents_In_Your_MOD_Folder" from the temporary folder and copy the contents you want to your Vietnam-MOD-folder 3. if asked to overwrite, say 'yes' 4. Thats it!
