Question about modern bombers (B-1B)
arthur666 posted a topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
I've been using the excellent B-1B pack lately, trying some low-level deep strikes. I added a simple CCIP for the _92 model. My question is, how would a real B-1B sight it's bombs? Is there a designated bombadier who takes control of the plane and uses a sight(but on a screen, not thru a glass I assume) like in a WW2 bomber? Are they even able to do high alttitude bombing with unguided munitions? How does it all work? -

So I guess the added CCIP in conjunction with the red box on normal game targeting settings is a decent approximation of the OAS. It's quite satisfying to sprinkle 12 tons of those parachute Mk82's over an enemy airfield on a high speed bombing run at <500ft. -

F-16C Block 25/30 by The Viper Team

Definitely the engine and not some drag somewhere. I swapped all engine data from the Blk30, and now she pulls right up to Mach 2. -
A-6 Superpack v1.5 Teaser
arthur666 replied to HomeFries's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
Both, but it seems like I'm doing waaaayyyy more modding than actually playing. Thanks for the offer. I have 3 1985 campaigns, one in Dhimar, in Israel and NA, all USN-centric. Just waiting to plug more good stuff into them at this point. I'll probably have some questions in the future. -

Beautiful bird, but clean at 32k feet, Blk25 won't push much past mach 1 with full burner? Anyone else getting that? -

Looking very nice, HF. I've been dabbling in later-period campaigns recently. This will fit in nicely. -
Campaign for Pakistan/India terrain?
arthur666 posted a topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mission & Campaign Building Discussion
The terrain by Wrench and tileset by Stary is so stunning, I've got to have a campaign for it. Has anyone made one? I'm messing around with one, but the strategic nodes are a bit daunting. Any tips? -
The Next Skin Pack from TK.
arthur666 replied to SkateZilla's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
Blue Angels? I might get it for my 3yr old. I put him in enemy-free environments with no weapons and let him fly around. He saw the Blue Angels in some kid video about planes, and whenever I ask what plane he wants to fly, he says "a Blue Angel one". Otherwise, I only want DLC that fits into an existing theatre! I appreciated the way the Mirage5BA was plugged into the 1979 Europe campaign. Isn't it time to give th Mirage5F the same treatment that the IIIC got? ...and if SF2 gets too casual, I suppose I'll be needing a Windows 7 legacy machine in 10 years. I will survive the Tablet Apocalypse. -

What would they have to pay you to set foot on LV-426? -
SF2NA Iceland Classic TFD/HFD terrain
arthur666 replied to gerwin's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Knowledge Base
Thank you for this! Wish I had got it sooner. Runs a lot better, looks nicer too. Like what you did by adding the shrubs. Makes NOE flying much easier/more fun. I'm sorry that TK's effort to make a new terrain engine didn't work out like we hoped, but you sir, have really saved the day with this great retrofit. Getting good framerates finally! -
F-14A Skin Pack 1 DLC Released
arthur666 replied to Jimbib's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
Or just a custom loadout. Also, I had to edit the AIM-54A to "exported" so it would work. I like the pack. The price was right. -

Desert Duel 1981: Paran vs Dhimar, no foreign forces

Desert Duel: June 1, 1981. After the war in 1975, Dhimar has become the undisputed greater economic power in the region. With their increased wealth due to rising oil prices the Dhimari decide to invest in a stronger millitary to counter the ever-looming threat of their southern neighbors. Seeing that Dhimar is purchasing new advanced weaponry such as F-16 fighters and new Sidewinder "L" missiles, Paran launches a full scale attack on the Kingdom of Dhimar before they can continue the military buildup with stronger ground forces. Divisions of Parani troops and heavy armor are rolling north under a cloud of MiGs. The Dhimari military is scrambling to repel the onslaught. Their new hardware is about to be put to the ultimate test. Nothing groundbreaking or terribly creative here. This is a simple campaign, based on the stock Desert Fury campaign with mostly stock aircraft. I wanted a Paran vs Dhimar campaign with no foreign forces. Fly Dhimari aircraft including the MirageIII & 5, F-4E, A-4, F-16A, Kfir, Lightning and F-104. I've enjoyed playing this campaign, and maybe someone else will too. Requirements : StrikeFighters 2 Strikefighters 2 Israel Strikefighters 2 Europe Optional: (included) Flyable F-104G, files by Thirdwire for SF1, thanks to Wrench for "how to" in Combatace.com forum. ...also, in my personal install I opened the .ini files for each Israeli aircraft and changed the names from the Hebrew to the American (ex. Netz to Falcon, Kurnass to Phantom, Nesher to Mirage5). It's really personal preference and just a suggestion. -
Carrier Landing
arthur666 replied to saisran's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
Agreed. The Phantom and Skyhawk seem to fare much better. @saisran, you might consider a small gamepad with analog thumbsticks? That might be a good compromise for the simmer on the go. -
Carrier Landing
arthur666 replied to saisran's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
Saitek AV8R-01. It's a cheesy little stick but I've had it for 3 years now. Practice, KiwiB. Lots of it. Remembering that the carrier is a moving target helped me alot. Fly as slow as you can. Also, don't be afraid to hit the deck hard. Carrier-capable aircraft are tough. Check it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xJG4R3bJNEM -

Carrier Landing
arthur666 replied to saisran's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
I think your love for it will increase exponentially if you get any kind of flight stick. Carrier landing are difficult under the best of conditions, without a stick to make the hundreds of tiny adjustments just sounds too difficult for me. -
Adding more SAMs to a Desert campaign

Excellent info. And I added this to my CAMPAIGN_DATA.INI under [Force002] : StartAirDefenseLevel=3 Now I have another playground for the F-4G . -
Adding more SAMs to a Desert campaign
arthur666 replied to arthur666's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mission & Campaign Building Discussion
Oh, I see them now. Thanks. Do I need to add some sites with Activeyear=1985 for them to show up, or does Activeyear=1966 mean from 1966 on? From the desert_targets.ini : Target[018].Type=SAMRadar Target[018].Offset=-3298.00,4249.00 Target[018].Heading=45 Target[018].ActiveYear=1966 Target[019].Type=SAMLauncher Target[019].Offset=-3392.00,4381.00 Target[019].Heading=330 Target[019].ActiveYear=1966 -
