Need some minor modeling assistance
simonmiller416 replied to simonmiller416's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
Exactly like Wrench said. I hope they could show up in the right date and in the right country. For example, Sweden received the first batch of PAC-3 MSE after 2016, so they should not have had such a good missile before that, the same is true for operators who own PAC2 and later purchase PAC3. And we can see that excellent map modders like Wrench will assign correct red and blue countries to the map theaters, which will also affect which units(groudobjects) are generated on the map, which is also related to the operator. So, following the example above, on the Sweden map, Swedish ground units can start generating the best PAC-3 MSE after 2016, whereas before they could only generate PAC-3. US Army can get AN/MPQ-65A after 2017, etc etc. AND will be reflected in the specific missions. There are value differences between them in the game, which may not be obvious to players, but it is a design method that I like to make it as realistic and historical as possible. -

So... I searched all the pages I could find today, but didn't get much. Maybe I'll have to go to the Pentagon or Langley to ask for more detailed,maybe have a chat with woods.Can someone inside help me get a pass or something? Considering that there were multiple upgrade packages during the PAC-2 period,as well as the gap between the contract and the delivery time, maybe I'll give them "approximate" date first untill I got more infor. -

Yes I mainly got operators info from wiki, but I feel like it's too fragmented, so I wanted to ask if anyone happens to have a complete list and would be willing to share it generously. But that's okay, I can still just spend more time learning I have learned a lot. -

I'm also working on Patriot SAM, but just a question, do you happen to have a directory on when and how many PAC2 or 3s are being deployed by various operators? Giving these units a suitable look in SF2 is another matter, I am more obsessed with making them "historically accurate". The information I was able to retrieve was very fragmented, it would be better if there was a summary list. ===================================================================== For now, what I made for SF2: Missiles: MIM104B/C/D/E/F; Radar with Engagement Control Station Set(SAM_RADAR): ①MPQ-53 + MSQ-104 (For early PAC-2) ②MPQ-65A + MSQ-132 (For PAC-2/GEM) ③MPQ-65A + MSQ-132 (For PAC-3) Launcher Station(STATIC_SAM): ①M903 + MIM-104C/PAC-2 ②M903 + MIM-104D/PAC-2(GEM) ③M903 + MIM-104F/PAC-3 Any suggestions are welcome -

Oh, I saw some news about USAF F-16's IVEWS in recently months,I think at least some separate modeling is needed, fake pilot things etc. Skin work is not a big deal, I made HAVE Glass V template already. If I can do more about original Viper model would be wonderful. Maybe I will add it to the list but it's long enough. -

Ah, me again.How are your today? So, I need a few tester ,if you are interested please DM me. Basically this is based on several PLA modern ships. About a year ago, I found that many people involved in the test reported that they would encounter CTD when summoning them. The strange thing is that this never happened in my SF2. This problem has troubled me for nearly a year. I recently had a CTD situation after deleting the Flightengine.ini in the Flight folder for some testing needs, the I put it back, no CTD. I did make some changes to Flightengine.ini for performance optimization. Maybe I caught a rat, but I need more evidence...So if you are interested in participating in this test, please let me know. -

Beta Version. In case someone don’t know much about them, J-35 is 5-Gen stealth multirole fighter from the mysterious country in the East too. It is designed for air superiority and strike missions and powered by two medium-thrust turbofan engines the WS-19,and in theory, it has similar situational awareness and collaborative combat capabilities as the J-20.In addition to being an advanced naval tactical fighter, it will also gradually replace the old third and fourth generation fighters in the PLAAF inventory such as the J-10 in the future. On October 29, 2021,carrier-based variant made its maiden flight,air force variant on September 26, 2023. PLAAF Officially revealed the J-35A on November 5, 2024. =========================================================================================================== What does this mod probably have? (1) It contains 1 birds, J-35 ①J-35,Navy type,aircraft carrier based variant with a catapult launch bar and folded wings; (2) Cockpit from J-20s; (3) The Chinese alarm audio generated by AI, of course, fabricated. There are related videos circulating on the Internet that prove the existence of cockpit voice, but we are unable to determine the exact content; =========================================================================================================== 3.Usage: Unzip and copy Sounds, Effects and Objects these 3 folder to where your game is installed; =========================================================================================================== Note: (1) No weapons included. Due to potential maintenance needs, I made a separate PLAAF weapon pack, you need to download it separately, I'm sorry if it causes you any inconvenience; (2) Like the J-20 and F-22,the J-35 uses AESA radar too, I set a higher scanning frequency and strength to avoid the disadvantages of traditional mechanical scanning radar and improve the resistance to old type of ECM; (3) IRL, there is no sign that the J-35 carries a cannon so far,just as J-20,but I still add rumored 4x23 rotary cannon; (4) After referring to the prototype FC-31, I decided to only set 4 stations for the weapons bay, which makes it lack the means to mount SRAAM, so I set station 1 and 2 under the wings as PL-10 stations, which is similar to the F-35, kinda "What If"; (5) At the time this model was made, there weren’t a lot of reference images, so there is a certain degree of “distortion”, and I did what I could when I made the further adjustments; =========================================================================================================== Credits: 1.Ice is silent water (off-site user,I purchased all resources from him); 2.Me (base on orignal resources, add a lot of detail objects,do a lots of animation and texture works); 3.T'Ilacis (off-site user,decals); =========================================================================================================== Special Thanks: 1.JAT81500(For the JHMCS/pilot mod) 2.Crusader(For parts of HUD textures) I'm just standing on the shoulders of giants. -

Version 0.9.6

Beta version,it means not 100% complete, but almost there =========================================================================================================== In case someone don’t know much about them, the J-20 is a 5-gen stealth twin-engine fighter from the mysterious country in the East. The first verification aircraft completed its first test flight in 2011 and entered service with the Chinese PLA Air Force in 2017. It has been used in the past It has undergone numerous major or minor upgrades and improvements in more than ten years, giving it excellent low detectability (stealth capability), omnidirectional situational awareness, powerful radar and breakthrough collaborative combat capabilities. =========================================================================================================== 1.What does this mod probably have? (1) First, it contains 3 advanced birds, J-20, J-20A and J-20S. ① J-20 is the basic single-seat model; ② J-20A is upgrade model with better aerodynamic design and better engine WS-15; ③ J-20S, was first spotted in 2022. Most people speculate that it will serve as a "loyal wingman" command unit; (2) Independent cockpit, but it should be noted that this cockpit is fabricated out of thin air and does not represent the real appearance of the J-20 cockpit. It is only based on vague news videos and simulation cockpit pictures at air shows. ; (3) The Chinese alarm audio generated by AI, of course, fabricated. There are related videos circulating on the Internet that prove the existence of cockpit voice, but we are unable to determine the exact content; =========================================================================================================== 2.Usage: Unzip and copy Sounds, Effects and Objects these 3 folder to where your game is installed; =========================================================================================================== 3.Note: (1) No weapons included. Due to potential maintenance needs, I made a separate PLAAF weapon pack, you need to download it separately, I'm sorry if it causes you any inconvenience; (2) Since the J-20s uses the same AESA radar as F-22, I set a higher scanning frequency and strength to avoid the disadvantages of traditional mechanical scanning radar and improve the resistance to old type of ECM; Of course, based on SF2 game, there is essentially no difference between them, except that the player's operation will be more comfortable; I have performed the same operation on all similar radars of the same era in my own game, and for myself Said they did a good job, but I don't know if that would be a bit IMBA for you guys. (3) IRL, there is no sign that the J-20 carries a cannon, so I did not equip the 20 and 20S models with cannons, Hit and Run! But J-20A, however, for the purpose of gameplay, I added a rumored 4x23 rotary cannon to give the J-20A a "What If" look. Moreover, the current J-20 in reality has no signs of using any air to ground weapons, so I designed it as a pure air superiority fighter and used the avionics module dll of the F14A to enable it to track and attack four targets at the same time, which removes the ability to scan the ground objects, even though EOTS is still available. About J-20A/S, since there is only speculation about how it works, I regard it as a multi-role fighter and hope that it will have complete ground attack capabilities, so the 70s avionics module is used to detect ground targets. =========================================================================================================== 4.Credits: 1.Ice is silent water (off-site user,I purchased all resources from him); 2.Me (base on orignal resources, add a lot of detail objects,do a lots of animation and texture works); 3.T'Ilacis (off-site user,decals); =========================================================================================================== 5.Special Thanks: 1.yakarov79, logan4, Sundowner(Teach me lots of basic modding skill) 2.Wrench (Also gave me hints in the formation lights question, but I especially want to thank him for the extra “modding help”) 3.EricJ,Menrva(Great ideas in my modding process) 4.JAT81500(For the JHMCS/pilot mod) 5.Crusader(For parts of HUD textures) Of course, there are far more than these people. In the knowledge base of the forum, many people's detailed discussions have given me a certain level of foundation for modding through years of ini editing. It can be said that most of the people here have helped me indirectly. If I forgot to mention you who also contributed, please be sure to let me know as soon as possible. In the end, the most in need of thanks is TK, which allows this high-degree-of-freedom game to appear. I'm just standing on the shoulders of giants. -

I won't comment on the "eternal friends" thing here, I think the ridicule itself is not from an objective perspective, but... I don't know, maybe simply pride. Besides Su-57, I can see a lot of discussions about "under electronic warfare conditions, both the J-10 and J-11 can easily destroy the F-22 fleet", etc. To me, this is complete nonsense, but if someone refutes it, they will "become" "traitor". They are not laughing at "friends", but they are just looking down on everyone. We can see that the mysterious east has indeed been advancing at an astonishing speed in the past 10 more years, there are many surprising achievements, she is strong indeed, so much so that a few people have forgotten that objective facts need to be viewed objectively. I mean, many comments are not based on objective facts, but on positions, it's not fair, and most of them are just kids, we don’t need to pay too much attention to them. ======== Again something from Zhuhai too: -
