I wonder, how TW A-10 will compare against DCS's :biggrin:

 

Easier to fly..? :rofl:

 

Remember that 3D models comparision between LOMAC's and WOE's F-15A? TW's one was better :smile:

I hope there'll be two of them at least: before and after avionics got laser and maverickability.

Err.. missed that. :blink: Didn't do much simming back then, when it could happen.

Don't know how will DCS A-10 be, but LOMAC's A-10 in comparision to TW's A-10 are like Spitfire and FW190 in il2 lol

No need to have the original.

As an ugly brick with a couple of boosters. Yeah, I know it's a compliment, but I can't help it.

Improved in what way? What was wrong with the F-4?? - I know it wasn't perfect but it wasn't far off. See countless other threads on how to fly the F-4 properly.

The phantom flight model has always been excellent. It was not a nimble aircraft.

In case this bit of trivia has not appeared yet: I have XP, installed to the default location, ran the DirectX setup utility provided, and after installation could not locate any of the described folders in any My Documents folder UNTIL I RAN THE GAME ONCE. Then they appeared in the My Documents - Thirdwire folder.

Something that I'm noticing about the stock aircraft is that none of the decals are showing up. I'm doing some testing on the A-7A and the decals that do show up are for random units. For instance, VMA-211. What's that? No tail art, just the squadron name at the base.

 

Is anyone else seeing this?

 

I'm afraid my fix will end up being hard coding each default skin to a unit.

Okay.

 

The RF-101C was not made to be compatible with the 2nd generation of TW sims (SFP2/SFV). However...

 

The RF-101C requires some stock bitmaps that are in the first generation TW sims (SFP1/WOx series). Find what those bitmaps are, extract them from the appropriate CAT file, and put them into you RF-101C cockpit directory.

 

Use a HEX editor to look inside the cockpit LOD file to find the specific bitmap (it'll be bitmaps named that don't exist in the cockpit directory).

 

Before you ask, use the search function here to look up 'CAT extractor' to find it, download it, and use it.

 

Also, use Google to find an appropriate HEX editor...DO NOT actually hex edit anything, you're just using it to view.

 

Finally, use our knowledge base (located right here at Combatace) to learn the definitions of some of the terms I used if you are unsure.
