Hello CA! I thought i would share this little tidbit I stumbled across late at night (couldnt sleep haha) If you have a terrain lets say for example Desert4 if you extract the Desert.cat files and place all the files in the desert4 folder (being careful not overwrite any of the custom files in the desert4 folder) and then slash out the .cat file statement in the terrain.ini file this can DRASTICALLY reduce load times and potential crashes. I believe this is due to the fact that the game engine doesn't have to unpack the compressed CAT file to find the missing pieces stored within it. Ive tried this with multiple terrains all the to same great effect (CubaOTC and Iran-Iraq etc) The second thing ive discovered is that the File name callouts in the terrain.ini folder for example NationsFile=DESERT4_NATIONS.INI etc ARE in fact CASE SENSITIVE now using Windows 10, this wasn't the case before using Windows 8.1 and this has helped avoid issues with nations and flying CAS missions in seemingly random areas of terrains haha. If any of this is old info I apologize but this has kinda been a light bulb moment for me and has alleviated a lot of frustrating issues. -
Loading Screen weirdness at 80% help?
Spudknocker posted a topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
Hello! I have had a weird issue as of late where the mission will load up to 80% and then get stuck there and the mission's sounds start, engine, radio calls, clearance for take off etc its like the mission has started but the screen is stuck on loading. This usually occurs during single missions on maps like Germany CE or IR2003 I have a full merged install with a Intel i7 12 gb of ram and an intel 5500 graphics card. I kinda figured it was either a graphics or a terrain issue, has anyone had this happen? or have a fix? thanks! -
Loading screen crashes
Spudknocker posted a topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
There is a weird crash that I get once and awhile usually on the GermanyCE terrain (but have had it on others) where the loading hangs up at 80% but the sounds of the mission start in the loading screen, the engine sounds and the tower giving clearance for takeoff etc. Does anyone have a fix for this or have experienced this? -

File Name: My Collection of F-16 Fighting Falcon (for Dave?) Hangar and Loading Screens! File Submitter: viper63a File Submitted: 01 July 2015 File Category: Hangars My Collection of F-16 Fighting Falcon Hangar and Loading Screens! By Viper 07/01/2015 My collection of F-16 Hangar and Loading Screens. I used these to replace the Hangar and Loading screens in my F-16 mod downloads. Namely the excellent F-16 Mods from Dave and company! You may have to edit the Aircraft (eg. F-16A.ini) file to use these Hangar and loading screens. Or rename these files to the ones called out in the <Aircraft>.ini file. Also included are the photoshop templates I used to make all these screens (about 90 Hangar and Loading screens, total about 180 files). You can mix them, match them and use them however you like...but give me some credit if you use them in a mod you release to the public. Thanks and enjoy the screens! = Viper = Click here to download this file
