Parans Stonehenge?
Nuni posted a topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Sci-Fi/Anime/What If Forum
Just as the operation Desert Thunder began, the confident and proud forces of Dhimar and USA launch into the battlefield over Paran. An enormus aluminium cloud composed by F-4s, A-4s and B-57 crossed the frontline to bomb the heart of Parans military infrastructure, not knowing what was waiting for them... Within minutes, all squadrons that didn't drawn quickly from the strike, dissapeared from the radar. Those who managed to return to allied soil witnessed enormus explosions, planes vanishing... After hearing what intelligence reports had to say, a new installarion of extraordinary cannons was built deep in Paran soil, cappable of accelerating rounds to enormus speeds and tear down any air unit in a 80km range. Something must be done about it if they want to win the war... Thats what happened when I put this experiment in the desert terrain and played a campaign hahaha. Here is more footage of it for the ace combat fans:-

Tactical Laser System Pods
Nuni posted a topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - File Announcements
View File Tactical Laser System Pods **** Tactical Laser System Pod (TLS) **** _______________________________________________________________________ This mod contains the Tactical Laser System from Ace Combat franchise. You will be able to fly with a powerful laser beam generator, that can tear a carrier up, blow up half of an airbase, or split in two bombers from 10+ km of distance. The pack includes three versions of the TLS pod: - TLS-01: A generic POD available to all countries - TLS-01_F-15: Specific for F-15E - TLS-01_Su-37: Specific for Su-37 (The exact F-15E and Su-37 are detailed below, they must be downloaded) _______________________________________________________________________ *Installment: Drop the content into your mod folder (C:\Users\[User Name]\Saved Games\ThirdWire\[ModFolder]) as usual, taking into account a couple of things: 1. There are two aircraft (F-15_14 and Su-37 Terminator), both folders only contains two modified INIs. One is the DATA.INI from each aircraft and the other is for LOADOUT. Both aircraft are the ones having its own dedicated TLS Pod in Ace Combat 7, thus I picked both of these aircrafts from the excelent Add-on mods that we have here. In case you don't have them, you can download them from these links, install them and then copy the modified INIs which includes the laser pod and loadout (AirToAirLaser). The links to download them are: F-15_14: https://combatace.com/files/file/16161-sf2-f-15-strike-eagle-super-pack-redux-2018/ Su-37 Terminator: https://combatace.com/files/file/15049-su-37-flanker-f/ 2. Once you install the Red Laser Gun and copied some lines into the BulletObject.INI there is a chance that the laser wont appear while you are firing it. In order to solve this you should copy these lines in the R-TLS_Data (inside Guns folder) [RedLaserEffects] TracerEmitterName=RedLaserBeam GroundHitEffectName=20mmGroundHitEffect GroundHitSoundName=DirtHit WaterHitEffectName=CannonWaterHitEffect WaterHitSoundName= ObjectHitEffectName=20mmObjectHitEffect ObjectHitSoundName=Impact3 ArmorHitEffectName=20mmObjectHitEffect ArmorHitSoundName=Impact3 AirBurstEffectName=FlakEffect AirBurstSoundName=FLAK3 Then it should work fine. ________________________________________________________________________ TO SOUNDLIST SoundFileXXX=TLS //---------------------------------------- [TLS] Priority=HIGH Looped=TRUE NumBuffers=2 3DSound=TRUE DopplerEffect=FALSE MaxDist=3000.000000 MinDist=100.000000 InsideConeAngle=360 OutsideConeAngle=360 ConeOutsideVolume=100 ________________________________________________________________________ KNOWN ISSUES 1. The generic pod may not be visible during the loadout screen, this may happen because the measures of the pod exceeds the limits from the Gun Pod station of the aircraft. It can be fixed by adjusting the length/diameter/weight limit in the weapon station of the aircraft. Measures of the Pod (estimated from images of the AC7 pod and the real measures of a SUU-23 Gun Pod): Mass: 1406.7 kg Length: 7.312 m Diameter: 0.92 m (moreless) 2. Also, I have not managed to fly with the full loadout of the Su-37, in my case It only loads the laser pod and the rest of the pylons are empty (I have to select the weapons manually), I guess this may be a problem of my installation, if anybody has this problem tell me. ________________________________________________________________________ Special thanks to: F-15: viper63a Su-37: denissoliveira Effects from which I developed the laser beam effects, I took them from Stary Unified Effects Pack. And everyone who contribute in these projects, which are truly masterpieces. ________________________________________________________________________ And as always, this is a FREEWARE, any distribution under payment of these files are strictly forbidden.

Astore - UPEO SKIN PACK FOR STRIKE FIGHTERS 2
Astore posted a topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - File Announcements
View File Astore - UPEO SKIN PACK FOR STRIKE FIGHTERS 2 Hi to all, I'm Astore. Thanks for downloading my skin pack ! The UPEO (Universal Peace Enforcement Organization) is a fictional faction featured in the Ace Combat game series, and the main faction of Ace Combat 3 Electrosphere. The Universal Peace Enforcement Organization is an international peacekeeping organization under the Neo United Nations. UPEO maintains the SARF (Special Armed Response Force) when military intervention is required for peacekeeping duties, as well as the Euro-Asia Public Network for neutral, continent-wide broadcasting. Despite its aim of enforcing peace, UPEO was a puppet of General Resource Limited until the late 2030s. The organization became more independent with the rise of Neucom Incorporated and with Gabriel William Clarkson taking office as UPEO's representative. UPEO is the player's initial organization at the start of Ace Combat 3: Electrosphere. In the Japanese version of the game, the player can defect from UPEO to either General Resource or Neucom. It has shown that their equipment is of two main aircraft carriers, a Nimitz class and an Air Vector UI-4053 Sphyrna, still in construction during the early events of the game. Their main base, is a military airport at the center of Expo City, the eastern city of the USEA continent excluding Megafloat, which is a floating-island city. The UPEO Air Fleet is composed by future versions of actual aircraft and some fictionals since the game is set in 2040 of the Strangereal Universe, but the only fictional continent invented at the game exit was the USEA, so, since the faction seems to be universal, there could be several other planes operative in other nations, which have been introduced only in Ace Combat 5 The Unsung War (That is set in 2015). Main air fleet EF-2000 Typhoon II -Base plane, multirole fighter- Mig-33 Fulcrum SS -Interceptors- F/A-18 Hornet ADV -Multirole, got from the General Resource LDT faction F-16XF Gyrfalcon -Air superiority, got from the General Resource LDT faction R-101U Delphinus I -Base plane of the R Fleet from Neucom.Inc faction R-201U Asterozoa -Heavy attacker fighter, Attacker from the R Fleet of the Neucom.Inc Faction SU-37 SUPERFLANKER II -Multirole, mainly Air Supremacy.- SU-43 Berkut -Multirole, mainly Air Supremacy.- UI-4053 Sphyrna - Heavy Air vector with the fuction of a flying aircraft carrier with jamming capabilities and interior hangar to store at least 20 planes.

Same for the Aircraft Carrier skin: StrikeFighters2>Objects>GroundObjects>Admiral56) There's no need to overwrite on other folders, just add them in the specific folders. My skins does not requires decals, since the emblems are painted in the skin. If the skin doesn't work or shows leaving your aircraft black, it's possible that you are using a different version of the plane from an another addon, or that your game doesn't read the skin format. When this happen, copy the skin files to save them, then try to change their format (Like JPG). If the skin sets are the same for other models with the same skin mapping, they should work too. You can make a UPEO Nation in your INI Files continuing the list of nations. Be sure that the Nation number continues the series. In my case since I already got 271 Nations in my file, I've wrote Nation272 to make it work. But you could have to change the number.

I've started working on the skin pack from Gold and then moved to SF2. Actually, also the F-18 has been downloaded from the FX Interactive site, but the addon from CombatAce should work too. To install manually the aircraft from that site, download them, the site will give a laucher-sort file. Ignore it, do mouse-right click and extract the files. You should obtain the aircraft folder to put in your SFG/SF2 aircraft folder, and it should work. Some of the templates for aircrafts were missing, then I had to make some new by hand, like for the F-15D Active. The older skins could be not at the same quality since I was working on SFG, but they'll be remade in future. Bugs and errors: The files shouldn't damage your game, if something doesn't work just remove the folder of the skin. The only bug I actually know is in the F-15 D ACTIVE canards, which couldn't be painted. It was the only Active I found, if you use it in SF2 be sure to insert also a cockpit file. You can customize the skins if you want to, credit me when you post screens or other in way to allow other players to find the download. Don't forget to rate, good or bad. This was my first skin pack, I hope I didn't messed up and that everything works. Maybe I'll do other skins in future. Have fun ! Submitter Astore Submitted 03/26/2018 Category What If Skins -

SF2 WW2 PTO RNZAF P-40E/K/M/N Kittyhawk Pack
dtmdragon posted a topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - File Announcements
File Name: SF2 WW2 PTO RNZAF P-40E/K/M/N Kittyhawk Pack File Submitter: dtmdragon File Submitted: 06 October 2014 File Category: P-40 SF2 WW2 PTO RNZAF P-40E/K/M/N Kittyhawk Pack A total of 301 P-40s were allocated to the RNZAF under Lend-Lease, for use in the Pacific Theater, although four of these were lost in transit. The aircraft equipped 14 Squadron, 15 Squadron, 16 Squadron, 17 Squadron, 18 Squadron, 19 Squadron and 20 Squadron. RNZAF P-40K/N/M squadrons were successful in air combat against the Japanese between 1943 and 1944 (RNZAF P-40E never saw combat). Their pilots claimed 100 aerial victories in P-40, whilst losing 20 aircraft in combat. Geoff Fisken, the highest scoring British Commonwealth ace in the Pacific, flew P-40s with 14 Squadron, although half of his victories were claimed with the Brewster Buffalo. The overwhelming majority of RNZAF P-40 victories were scored against Japanese fighters, mostly Zeroes. Other victories included Aichi D3A "Val" dive bombers. The only confirmed twin engine claim, a Ki-21 "Sally" (misidentified as a G4M "Betty") fell to Fisken in July 1943 From late 1943 and 1944, RNZAF P-40s were increasingly used against ground targets, including the innovative use of naval depth charges as improvised high-capacity bombs. The last front line RNZAF P-40s were replaced by Vought F4U Corsairs in 1944. The ex combat P-40s joined the P-40E in New Zealand OCU Squadrons relegated to use as advanced pilot trainers. The name Kittyhawk was generally retained throughout the aircraft's' service with the RNZAF, even when the later models' official name was Warhawk. Included are 4 Royal New Zealand Air Force specific aircraft with a total of 11 skins. - P-40E Kittyhawk RNZAF - P-40K Kittyhawk (Warhawk) RNZAF - P-40M Kittyhawk (Warhawk) RNZAF - P-40N Kittyhawk (Warhawk) RNZAF INSTILATION: Drop files into your mods folders, override when prompted.
