Downolads question

[tselepides]

Is this site here the only one that has SF downloads, or are there any more sites?

 

Nick

[+Muesli]

There are, but this is the biggest, best and friendliest one!
No hassle here, just crazy  people.

[+daddyairplanes]

actually no there are other sites.

effectively yes, this is the only one without overly restrictive terms of service or cost.

[tselepides]

Thanks,

 

No one tells me which these sites are, so I can at least have a look?

allenjb42,

 

Thanks for the info, will check them all .

[+Wrench]

with the exception of the later products on the DAT site, all the others are 1stGen only.

 

YAP is payware, and is also only 1stGen

Razbam no longer sells SF products

 

the others I don't know about

Gerwin, is one of our better modders, and created some fantastic utilities

[+allenjb42]

Kevin, I know that Razbam aren't doing anything new for SF, but the link is to their store where they still seem to be selling their products for the Thirdwire games, albeit 1st Gen. And the pits for the Intruders and Prowlers are very nice.

 

Owl workshop I think is a Chinese site but looks like original mods and not pirate copies.

 

Most of the links on the Thirdwire page are to 1st Gen mods.

 

There used to be a site once upon a time that had loads of modded pilots, hangar screens and lots of modded planes, oh, and pictures of cats! Wonder what happened to that one...?

[+Dave]

Nick why are you looking for another site to download from? 

[+Wrench]

also Fighters Anthology and Star Wars XvT/BoP mission sets.

Was costing 15 dollars a month, and all the stuff (excepting the FA and XvT items) was here at CA. Had to economize somewhere, so...it was closed.

 

I wasn't sure if Raz was still selling the 1stGen stuff. If so, I recommend HEARTILY that people go and get his intruders, even if just for the cockpits!!

[Z09SS]

And his F-102A!  So you can mod it with downloads from here...

[tselepides]

Z09SS,

 

Whose F-102?  Gerwin's?

 

Dave,

 

It is clear that some addons cannot be downloaded here.

Also, since I come from an FS9 and FSX background, I am accustomed to many sites and many forums as well. And download from nay and post in many forums.

As simple as that. Let alone the fact that I could not ge used to the possibility that only one site has a monopoly on SF. Democratic principles? Perhaps.

Well we are a tiny community......a one stop shop. If you cannot get it here, you cannot get it any where. 

[+KnightWolf45]

it like this We CA modders are best ones there are just mirages on desert!

Is that a Fiat G.91 in your posts?

 

Where can I get it?

 

Dave:

Each has his beliefs and principles. You and I differ here. But all posters have their rights and tastes.

 

Nick

[+Soulfreak]

Yes it is, nowhere, cause it isn´t done yet.

[jeanba]

You can add c6 :

http://www.checksix-fr.com/

 

But most of the files are also available on CA

They are mainly for SFP1.

Is there a problem with most of it being here at CA? It's not about rights or whatever crusade you are on. I'm just saying we are the one stop shop and I'm getting the impression you do not like that.

[+daddyairplanes]

ok gents to attempt to defuse...................

 

Dave, folks are gonna want to look around. If they didn't porn wouldn't be a billion dollar business. (hell i had a subscribtion at DAT until i d/l'd 4 files instead of 3 for the day. been banned about 3 years now)  BUT....... the smart ones know where the good stuff is at and stick around

 

tselepides,  i look around for other goodies not available here time to time myself.  for the most part you either have to go through a strict membership program and have severe limits on your ability to download OR pay.  This site asks for donations but does not require them.  If one donates its a good value for the money, and its a hell of a deal if you don't pay.  TK doesnt have the resources of Microsoft and therefore its not as well known as FS9 or FSX and doesn't have as large a community. 

[+Fubar512]

Nick,

 

The sad fact of the matter is that the entire series has only a fraction of the following that, IL2, FSX, F4 or even DCS enjoys.  And that fact is readily evident if one peruses the Thirdwire forum at SimHQ.  There isn't any traffic on that board to speak of, and even the developer's site itself is practically a ghost town. 

 

The vast majority of the Thirdwire community hangs out here, and most of the model-makers and modders upload their work here, making us by far the largest repository of Thirdwire files on the internet. Take your time and peruse the other sites, and you'll see that for yourself.

 

Our policies regarding download limits came about due to the increasing costs of maintaining this site, and partly due to a few abusing the system.  Want to increase your download limit? Simply contribute by posting your experiences, your views, or any mods that you may come up with. That's the first step.

 

This is a great site.  I'm glad that you are a member here. and I'm looking forward to your contributions.

  Then you should respect the DEMOCRATIC choice of all those talented modders who've chosen to NOT to upload their work to other, mostly irrelevant for SF2 gaming, sites. Dave DOESN'T prevent ANYONE from uploading their work elswhere. It just doesn't make sense when 98.6% (a ballpark figure ) of SF2 community uses Combat Ace exclusively...

Dave,.

 

No problem with that. You get the wrong impression.  

I simply wanted to know what other sites there are.

Some, like the French site mentioned above, are of intense interest to me as I speak and write French and can post in their forums and download French skins.

I have a soft spot for French colors as I find their sqquadron and wings insignias very refined.

If you search under "Tselepides" at flightsim.com you will find French repaints of WWI a/c I made, plus others..

I have lived in France.

I also speak and read Russian and will find out about Russian sites through a Russian (relative) friend I have in Moldova, the nephew of my wife, in fact. My wife is from the Republic of Moldova-- of Russian descent however. Many do not even know where that country is. I did not either until I got married. Moldova was one of the 12 Soviet republics of the defunct USSR....

 

 

Pignon,

 

Thanks for the checksix site. I know it from FS downloads--it has been around for a long time.

Are you French?

 

Nick

[tselepides]

SFP1ACE,

 

I did not ask anyone to change their downloading sources, did I? I must be mad to ask such a thing.

 

I just asked what other sites there are. How difficult is that to understand?

 

I do  respect the choices of all in uploading or downloading wherever they like and will certainly not interfere with their choices--never.

Respect should be mutual.

I apologize profusely if my wording sounded unrespectul.to some ears, though I am sure my wording sounded ok to some other ears.

A matter of sensibilties or over-sensitiveness perhaps.

And to add a truth, when I visited Capun's site,  I did not like it at all and l will have nothing to do with them,

 

Fubar, in his response above sounded reasonable, logical and enouraging. (Thank you Fubar).

In fact, because of his wonderful response, I will hurry to make something and upload it here,as my first contribution. Since I am new to the game and still do not know some of its structural details, it will be something small and easy, like a menu screen.

If I do a skin, I may consult some of the repainters here for help.

 

Nick
