After consideration, I will pass this one and wait for holosuite version.  Miles and Julian said it is worth trying.

so Win10 when eh?

tumbleweed? tumbleweed! prepurchased it and somewhat am not suprised it isn't here yet :insert suprised pikachu face:

MiGMan_Flight_Sim_Museum -BTW pleasantly suprised to see a legend from modem times way back here, cheers!- made excellent points
the biggest offense are the lighting and atmosphere, terrain I would argue still works in the tiled variant as titles like Falcon BMS or Vector Thrust show, it's the matter of polishing things there

and ofc the big elephant in the room is lack of presence on Steam and GOG

Exactly. The SF2 games still have a reason to exist, they may be dated but they still are a very decent platform and framework for mods. The amount of third-party content made for them is unrivalled. However, TK insists on selling them overpriced on a late 90s-looking store, thus making these games even more unknown and scam-looking.

Probably we got it wrong all these years, TK actually stands for Taken Down, with reference to his own game series...

Hi MK, if you view his profile on the left column his email address will be available to you as an administrator. https://combatace.com/profile/51-tk_thirdwire/ I can't guarantee it still works but it was a direct line of communication with him at one point. 

Thanks I did try it but have not heard back. 

In case it's still active, everyone should go there and follow him...he only has 2 followers and I am one of them...

:)

I think we can claim the need of SF2 at Thirdwire DISCORD channel. Please help SF2 players. 

Our biggest may being no usage of official communication platform.

We can't speak for TK and the devs at Thirdwire. I mean he's focused on the mobile aspect of the game and that's where it stands. As far as official communication we can't do anything for SF2 players who get on Discord and not here. If TK pointed users to come here they can be helped sure no problem. But I looked at the Discord channel after your post (after forgetting it existed after months of not using Discord for the Thirdwire channel) and think that there's not enough people to an "all hands" help fest with it. I'll pop on every once in a while, but there are not many users for the PC title.

I saw that and frankly, it's not CombatAce's responsibility to moderate the Discord server. I mean they supposedly have people for that, but they may not be around.

They don't, I mean TK doesn't. TK created the server and no moderators exist for his TW server. Actually, it is surprising it is plagued very rarely by spammers, but nobody can remove any such posts from the server when they happen. TK does not deal at all with his own server, technical support for end-users is non existent. I'm sure there are fans who would gladly help him manage the server, but he's not interested in any interaction at all with the community. BTW, ThirdWire is a one-man development team, it's just TK at this time.

Sadly that it the truth.:sad:

too bad the doesnt release the source code, im sure the community can fix a lot of bugs and enable discarded features.

maybe some kind of licence that allows him to still make profits from the .lods and art, like FreeSpace Open did.

I think TK had planned to release a Win10 patch, seriously. But I don't think he was out to screw us over. The amount of money that was donated reflected the community's interest, and it was a bit not overwhelming, so he abandoned it. That's how I see it. I don't think it's a fraud, just didn't get the money he hoped for.

I think you are correct, but he should come out and tell the community (especially people who donated) where he stands on this and to return the money in good faith.

So, in summary, nearly three years overdue and no communication. Sweet.

      I am new to this game but I am loving it and the dynamic campaign is amazing. my only and only problem is that planes just dissapear in the distance, literally just dissapear a short distance a way, around 200 - 500 meters away? not too sure but its very off putting and its clearly an issue for gameplay.
      I am using Patch July 2013 
      Wings over Korea mod
      I play on 3840x2160 4K resolution (I'd prefer playing on that) I have extracted the flightengine ini into SF2 Filght folder as well as to the korea folder and made some changes like turned off fade away and increased mesh values, but still to no avail? Anyway to fix this? Its literally the only thing destroying the fun I have with this game.

      Hi,
      after seeing the TMF F-14 has wrong and inaccurate speed and fuel indicators, i found out the default Third Wire F-14 has working and accurate ones, but i dont wanna use it cause the TMF Tomcat is better and the cockpit too more realistic too, so can you switch the speed and fuel indicators on the TMF F-14 with the default Third Wire F-14? And for fuel too? Do you need to 3D model and/or do something else other than edit some text files?
       And is it or it's not possible to do?
      Down here are 2 pictures from the correct cockpit in the default Third Wire F-14:


      And 2 from the TMF F-14 (the inaccurate one):


       
      Thanks for helping.

      Hi everyone,
      I was wondering how to customize the numbers after your callsigns, since it always gives me the same ones.
      I think i managed somehow once, a bit of time ago, but now i forgot and have no idea how to.
      I'm not talking about how to customize the callsign name, but the unit number after it.
      As you can see in the Roster and in the picture under, i get "Fast Eagle 1-1" and "Fast Eagle 1-2"
      Here are some examples:


      The numbers on the tail, wing and nose numbers are customized, cause i managed how to change them, choosing them individually for each unit in the mission file by changing "AircraftNumber=" and typing the number, like "2" (as for 202). It doesn't change by typing the whole number tho, like 202 by typing 202, but it goes by typing the number that corresponds to the list of numbers you have. For example, In a list that goes from 200 to 400, you will have to type 10 to get 300. Here i just typed "2" and "7" since the list starts from 200


      IIRC, in the past i just used to type the Aircaft number just like that, and in-game i had the proper number after the callsign, like "Fast Eagle 102", not just the number displayed on the plane livery.
      How do i do? I'm pretty sure that it's possible to have "Fast Eagle 102" on my screen HUD and in the Roster
      Thanks in advance for helping me.
