SF2 Mission Editor Now Available as DLC
GrinchWSLG replied to eburger68's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
Well, I did want this to be a separate purchase, since I wasn't interested in anything else in the Exp 2. I do think he should have just given this for free though, its a bit lame IMO to be selling a mission editor. I've never seen another company do that. I support his DLC route, but there is such a thing as nickel and diming your customers. Does this editor have more/less functionality then Le Missionneur or KMD? -
Ok Let's Start A Virtual "NATO"
GrinchWSLG replied to Dave's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
I'm a sucker for the original terrain, so I like Piecemeal's updated default, especially with those new desert tiles out. Torn between Canada and USAF... gonna have to go USAF for now. -
Grinch's WIP Thread

Might be a bit before I can continue working on stuff. I'm 75% of the way through moving to a new apartment. I've had to move while working 6 days a week so I have no time left for myself. I won't have internet at the new place for a while either. I'm also building a new office there so I'll be without a proper computer desk for a few weeks probably. I'm also up for my final certification check next week on Missoula Radar so hopefully I can just get through that and be finished with training. -

Better to give 100% if given the chance. -

Off to the texturer. -
Still waiting on my Forza 4 Preorder to arrive. Sigh. Well this is good news for Dave. Means I can finish texture mapping the CBU's for him.

Picked up Assault Horizon yesterday. Easily the worst Ace Combat ever made. Possibly even worse then HAWX. Don't waste your money.

CBU's done. Now mapping. I hate mapping. -

There's a familiar sight... My test aircraft. F-4E with modified .ini's so I can put whatever I want on it for testing. -

With the fins on and animated I couldn't resist a little test drive. The game engine has pretty good smoothing. -
Something a little different. Because I like these photos, and because summer has ended and I'm longing to be back where I was in them.

Grinch's WIP Thread
GrinchWSLG replied to GrinchWSLG's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
The YF-19 was my first model. As such, its really poorly done, although it looks okay in screen shots. Whenever I open it up now though, I'm really not happy with it. Once I get a few projects done that I'm working on I'd like to go back and rebuild it and remap it. The YF-19 is still my favorite fictional bird, so I'm definitely going to find the time for it. I've also been having trouble working with my older projects in Max. For some reason any models that I've mapped and textured cause all kinds of crashes and so forth. So going back and making improvements is almost impossible. I was trying to make a Ver 2.0 of the Fletcher but Max would just not work right. I may have to just throw out the mapping. -

New project... Still early, some parts are obviously stand-ins. Hopefully tomorrow night I can get the fins finished, then its detail work. -

Nope, not Tempelhof, although that is a good idea. I love Tempelhof. Its New Chitose, both the airfield and the terminal. Its the start of a potential Hokkaido campaign. I'm sort of waiting to see what happens with the new F-14 game and whether or not we get a new terrain engine for it. Till then I'm keeping my eyes peeled for good terrain tile stand ins. -

This topic is a bit rusty but I was really looking forward to this tool. Any news? -
I Figured This Was Going to Happen
GrinchWSLG replied to Dave's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
This has probably been answered and discussed before, but amuse me. Why hasn't Thirdwire partnered up with Steam? Seems to me to be a natural way to increase sales, and Steam works with tons of smaller developers. -
TK's poll at Thirdwire page
GrinchWSLG replied to Stary's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
"the reason I haven't been playing" I have moved on. But its not exactly like there's a replacement for Strike Fighters out there. And certainly not one as moddable. I don't think its too much to ask at all for a more in-depth campaign engine or the ability to create a mission with triggers so that you can tell a story or make it feel more realistic. And the wingmen AI has always been meh. Yeah, I read the patch notes every time the game is updated. Improvements I'm talking about are pretty large. The kind I'd expect TK to release in a new title. I thought we were going to get a new campaign map code with the F-14 title, something that doesn't use tiles I believe. That'd be nice. -

Lack of improvements in the campaign engine, wingmen AI, and in game message displays are the reason I haven't been playing... New content without any real improvements is getting stale. -
I'll give you some sage Air Traffic Control advice. Don't f*** up.

Nice shots. I used to go to that air show all the time when I was a kid.
