Western tanks with ERA armour in Ukraine
Righteous26 replied to Gepard's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
There is more to the M1s armor than the DU. The armor is a modular package that can be replaced by welding a new package onto the hull or turret. The DU is not the only change in those tanks. The shaped charge protection is not the same. There have been at least five iterations of the Burlington/Chobham armor since its inception. The tanks the US gives some countries, Iraq for example, likely are Desert Storm veterans with no DU in the armor or ammunition, older versions of the Burlington armor and a different fire control system. One advantage the downgraded M1s likely still retain is the kevlar spall lining that protects the interior of the tank. Russian vehicles generally do not have this which leads to even a non-penetrating hit creating fragments that can injure or damage people and ammunition. This is part of the reason the UK Army uses HESH rounds. -
Western tanks with ERA armour in Ukraine
Righteous26 replied to Gepard's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
Look up the M1 TUSK and TUSK 2 modifications that the US used in Iraq. The fourth picture looks like TUSK blocks on the skirts. The issue with putting all that ERA on the M1 is that it quickly exceeds 70 tons total. This would cause it to bog down in muddy terrain. -

Can you provide the _data.ini file for the missile? -
Aircraft guns penetration against Cold War armor?
Righteous26 replied to Stratos's topic in Military and General Aviation
You can destroy these tanks with the listed weapons but it takes a lot of hits to the rear quarter to do it. Attacks from the front are far less effective. -
Rocket lofting
Righteous26 replied to Viggen's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
You are basically a very inaccurate artillery piece while trying this. Stick to diving fire. -

Some Weapon Folders don't show up
Righteous26 replied to JamesWilson's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
I would check the cat files to ensure that they have names like ObjectData001.cat and are large. They should be tens to hundreds of megabytes each.- 10 replies

Righteous26 replied to JamesWilson's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
If it keeps that up then just download this file from the site and edit the weapons therein to your liking. It should contain everything you need including models, skins and data files. You can put these in your Objects\Weapons folder- 10 replies

How to change missile guidance?
Righteous26 replied to JamesWilson's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
I must have gotten it out of the cat files with the cat Extractor. Here is mine. Just copy it to your Objects folder. I have also included the GUNDATA.INI file. It contains the information for all the guns in the game. Put it in the Objects folder as well. WEAPONDATA.INI GUNDATA.INI -
How to change missile guidance?
Righteous26 replied to JamesWilson's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
Go to the Objects folder in your install. Look for a file called WEAPONDATA.INI and make a copy of it in case you make a mistake while editing it. This contains the weapon data for the weapons included in the base install. You can search for the AA-2 by using CTRL-F. Individual weapons are overwritten by the folders in the Objects\Weapons folder. So, if there is no AA-2 folder the computer will use the data from the WEAPONDATA.INI file. It is the same data but in a long numbered list with over 100 weapons. In my WEAPONDATA.INI file the AA-2 is [WeaponData141]. Yours may vary. You can change the GuidanceType=10 or any other statement as you see fit. -

Editing your Pilot Record?

I used a hex editor called HxD Hex Editor. I went to this website to get the hex codes for the scores: https://numbergenerator.org/numberlist/hex-numbers/1-100000#!low=1&high=100000&csv=nl&oddeven=&step=1&addfilters= -
Is there an F-18 mod for SF2 North Atlantic?

He can explore the site. It would be helpful to see what is here. -

Righteous26 replied to UnderTheRadar's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
There is a 1986 mod for SF2:NA. I believe it is called Red Storm Rising (RSR). It has the F-18A. -
All engine and gun sounds dissapearing (Fixed)
Righteous26 replied to macmacmacmoc's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
Try adding the sounds to your soundlist.ini file. -
All four of the pylons are articulated. This appears to be some sort of maintenance test. The pylons have a limited range of motion while the wheels are on the ground and the squat switch is engaged. The squat switch can be overridden by the SQT ORIDE switch in the right rear avionics bay. It can not be overridden from the cockpit. Either pilot can slave the gun to his head.
