SF2 North Cape Terrain Revamp (v.2)
Wrench posted a topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - File Announcements
View File SF2 North Cape Terrain Revamp (v.2) SF2 North Cape Terrain Revamp 5/15/23 == For SF2, any and all, but designed with SF2:E in mind == *Please note, if you have the original, I suggest backing it up, simply for safety's sake. It will also archive it, for historical purposes.* This is a revamp of the North Cape terrain by Baltika. It has gone through a somewhat large rebuild, mostly to clean up and add "eye candy" to the airports and some of the other military targets. It still remains in the single 'winter' season. Ports have been upgraded with buildings, docked ships and other martime goodies. The movement ini has also been modified, with additional and/or re-routed routes. It should be noted, this is =NOT= a NavalMap, so don't expect any carrier action. Limited Nations is also "TRUE", using the Usual Suspects (tm). I've supplied a great number of GroundObjects, but you'll want to double check them after unzipping, to make sure you have everything before installing. Meaning: not everything has been supplied. Ground defenses (AAA & SAMs) use the generic tags (SAMLauncher, SAMRadar, etc), so there should be no problems with the GameEngine (tm) using what's in you Mods Folders. As is always reccomended, unzip to a temp folder or your desktop to give easy access to the rest of this readme for it's install instructions. PLEASE READ THEM!!! Good Hunting!

How many of you fly USAF F-35As with regularity?
Wrench replied to daddyairplanes's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
The BuNums are just 'generic' for early models. Just wanted to see if there were enough meshes to do so. With all painted one insignia, and perhaps NationName (in this case "MARINES" or even "NAVY" on their birds, that leaves 1, maybe 2 open slots for decals. (this skin shown is the original "prototype" lighter gray, badged for VMFA115. Just because. -

Rob: so, I should halt work then??? shoot, and I even made 18 Bu Num decals for the USMC (although they only use 10 - 12 aircraft per squadron - just in case so made the extras) -

Having a look at all of the right now, from the "rework" package. I gotta say, the inis need MAJOR work. I've found a boatload of flaws in hit boxes, loadouts, and other small tweeks. Right now, working on the B model for the Marines; collected the skins, randomized decals, assigned them to their squadrons -PROPERLY- with the correct syntax, etc. DA: do you want to look at the A model? I've done some adjustments, but not fully gotten into it note to simonmiller: the skins are good, just needed a few small adjustments. I like them! -

Falcon 4 Korea Terrain
Wrench replied to gerwin's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
I hadn't thought of an upper limit! That might be it. Flying over it, I didn't see anything missing, tile-wise. If you plan on doing more with it, I still have all the HIGHLY detailed maps and charts I used for the KAW terrain. If you want them :) -

I've yet to play it, the latest version, but as is my habit, I buzz around with the TAE just to see what's what. Are there tiles missing?? I've seen several areas with the green squares, instead of actual tiles. Sample image below. Thought you should know. :) -
YAP RW Team announces the release of Vietnam Air War "Phase One - Enhanced Edition (2025)"
Wrench replied to potentesciamano's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
Isn't that one of the experimantal Hybrid Migs? (and yes, "thingies" would be the correct term) --------------- that's what happens when game generated parked aircraft spawn where a 'static' (terrain object) is placed. You can fix that by editing the _targets ini for that airfield, and removing references of the static (compare parking slots in the airfield ini, to locations for said airfield in targets ini) Noting that the Fishbed has a tarp covering the canopy, THAT's the static object. Look for "Mig-21PFS_1" -
Stolen From Facebook: They Walk Among Us! I was at the checkout at Walmart, minding my own business, when the cashier rang up my total: $46.64. I handed her a crisp $50 bill. She looked me dead in the eye, gave me back $46.64, and continued scanning items like a professional. Me: "Uh… I think there’s a mistake." Her: huffing dramatically "Sir, I am educated. I know what I’m doing." She pushed the money back at me like I was trying to scam her. So, I did what any reasonable person would do—I gave it back. She, once again, pushed it right back at me with extra attitude. I shrugged, picked up my bags, and walked out with $46.64 in my pocket. They Walk Among Us… I walked into Starbucks with a "Buy-One-Get-One-Free" coupon for a Grande Latte. The barista studied it like it was the Declaration of Independence, then turned to a chalkboard that read "Buy One, Get One Free." Her eyes lit up. "Oh! So that means… they’re both free!" She happily handed me two free lattes. I didn't argue. I just walked out, sipping my victory. They Walk Among Us… One day, I was strolling along the beach with some friends when one of them gasped dramatically, pointed ahead, and yelled: "Look! A dead bird!" Another friend immediately looked up at the sky and asked, "Where?" I just… I had no words. They Walk Among Us… My brother was house hunting and asked the real estate agent which direction was north. He explained that he didn’t want the sun waking him up every morning. The agent furrowed her brow. "Wait… does the sun rise in the north?" My brother, thinking she was joking, laughed. She was not joking. He gently explained that the sun rises in the east… and, you know, has been doing that for quite a while now. She shook her head and said, "Oh, I don’t keep up with all that stuff." I... I had to walk away. They Walk Among Us… Back when I worked in a 24/7 call center, a guy called and asked: "What hours are you open?" Me: "Sir, we’re open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week." Him: "Okay, but is that Eastern or Pacific time?" I stared at my screen for a solid 10 seconds before replying: "Uh… Pacific." He thanked me and hung up, probably feeling proud of himself. They Walk Among Us… My sister has one of those emergency seat belt cutters in her car—designed to save her life if she ever gets trapped. She keeps it in the trunk. They Walk Among Us… My friends and I went to buy beer for a party. The store had a 10% discount on cases. Since we were professionals, we grabbed two cases. The cashier did some quick mental math. "Oh, two cases? That’s 10% + 10%… so you get 20% off!" We all nodded and quietly accepted our new financial advisor. They Walk Among Us… At the airport, I couldn’t find my luggage, so I went to the lost baggage counter. Me: "My bags never showed up." The lady smiled reassuringly. "Don’t worry, sir! I’m a trained professional. Now… has your plane landed yet?" I blinked. Me: "Nope, we’re still circling the airport. The pilot told us we’re third in line to land." Her: "Oh! Okay, well, come back after you land." …Sure thing, genius. They Walk Among Us… While working at a pizza place, I watched a man order a small pizza to-go. Cook: "Would you like that cut into four or six slices?" The man thought long and hard before replying: "Better make it four. I don’t think I’m hungry enough to eat six." Bless their hearts. They Walk Among Us…

My opinion: as someone who was to join the project, way back when, and declined ... I think these new guys are starting to get it right. Good on you all!!
