Win 11 -- where are my folders ?
Wrench replied to Wrench's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
I FINALLY found the mod folders -- did a smart thing for once. Opened the shortcut, and looks in Properties for the pathway. Got so used to having the mod folders ABOVED the /C, I didn't think to look there. Now, just have to run the installer for all them, THEN yank the HD out of the old machine, and use that very cool adapter kit, and transfer all the bits and pieces over. That's gonna take days!! Then, but the HD back in the old machine, and carry on. The eye stuff, is well, a nightmare. Y'all know the right one has had issues since 2013, when my cornea "delaminated" (cell layer seperation), Long story short, there's damage to optic nerve, loosing 30% of the field. They can't do a refraction (measuring visiion) because the distortions of the corneal surface (even after multiple surgeries) . Without the Prose Scaleral contacts (they sit on the white of the eye, not on the cornea as normal ones do) that right eye is just along for the ride. I can see with it, but it 's like an unfocused camera. -

Win 11 -- where are my folders ?
Wrench posted a topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
On my new machine, just ran the install for the 'all is everything SF2 exe", and found the ThirdWire/SF2/ in the /Documents folder -- but where is everything else?? The only thing inside, was a /Screenshot sub-folder. Is this a case it's totally clean and everything has to be added? It's been 20+ years since I started, so I may have forgetted a few things .... (overall, the machine is nice, but I'm really NOT liking the widescreen monitor. Can't find a rez that suits my fucked up eye(s). And gotta turn the damn internal lights off, too. OTH, I did manage to save a few buck by partly disassembling the computer desk) -
My next terrain project
Wrench replied to Gepard's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
Do they have a destroyed model as well? Newly built, or using one of the existing ones (like Hangar3, or HQBuilding, etc). That's always been my pet peeve -- not enough destroyed building models. If not, I'd like to suggest some of the destroyed models from Wingwinner's building packages. They're good ones. -
WIP Mega THREAD!

now that i've finished my bit for the F-35 remod, I can get back to terraining. In this case, the "Espana" map from Op.Pelayo. Been working on and off on it since late last year. Made a lot of corrections and retiling. All airports have been rebuilded and are complete, excepitng for minor eye candies. I'll have to stop work on it for a week or so sometime over the next few days, and I'm going to have to learn Winge 11 when my BRAND NEW MACHINE ARRIVES!!!!! (and none too soon -- this one is starting to really act out). Of course, reinstalling every-damn-thing!! (good part is, I get to finally use the full SF2 pack with all the DLCs I bought years ago!) As you can see below, using my (patent pending) special tiles, Ceuta looks a bit more like itself then before. There are about 5 or 6-ish new tiles, mostly ports, and so forth. This terrain has a lot of flaws, and I'm trying to correct as many I can (other wise Macalana and Stratos will yell at me <gr>) -

What you're seeing could also be "works in progress". So, just hang loose -

Wonder if that was my fault, when I rebuilt the data ini in 2012? -

Could you be more specific? We have 3 different models of TA-4s. F, H, J. So, which one or is it all?? Did you check the node names are correct? And "angles of operation"? I haven't touched them since 2017, so ..????? -

98.6% of TW birds have the drop tanks as detachable nodes of the main aircraft lod. They can be removed with the data ini trick... and... you can add "regular" drip tanks via both data ini and loadout edits. I know the tanks exist, as the TMF 84F should have them (can't remember if NMF or camo) -
Forgot to mention, for those that wish to partake, it's on Amazon Prime. For free (big surprise, there, eh?)

This looks like Oscar material, right??
