MiG-23F Fishtail-B
starfighter2 replied to Gepard's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - File Announcements
Interesting concept - I named it simply MiG E-9F, and changed years of use 1964-1972(until real 23 showed up though), weapons set to AA only - somehow bombs don't look right on "prototype" kind of plane. Thanx for this - keep up with excellent work :yes: -

Thank you very much for this> technology works in SF/WOx too : EDIT > But you are right, mod overall is for SF2, without heavy modding it's not usable in SF/WOx. Again, congrats on this, I like it :yes: -

LINDR2 It's not the matter will you like something or not, nobody doubt your expertise, and I know what you talked about(Russian versions), all what I'm saying is - there are some exceptions you know. This is only the game, enjoy it. Of course, nothing is perfect, and anything can be improved. BTW, this is not personal attack on you, so no need to be nervous. Cheers -
TMF MiG-29s Released!
starfighter2 replied to column5's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
You know lindr2, our MiG-29(9-12B) was capable to carry mixed weapon loadouts from day one (since 1987), namely 2xR-60, 2xR-73 and 2xR-27. Onboard computer for early 29's can't handle more then 2 rocket types, but ex-YU and Iraqi MiG's were capable for that. And don't give me some "manual sh**" about it any more, 'case I know that for sure. BTW, my late uncle was pilot in our AF and I searched his manuals and notes about that. (all what I'm saying here is - real life is one thing and "manuals" are second one and can be wrong) we had this mixed stuff from day one You know my friend that I'm at your side most of the time (naturaly), but give a brake a bit about MiG-29's for a while. Just enjoy and fly the plane, or improve yours (good though MiG weapon pack) Regards, Starfighter2 -

File Name: F-104C-10 pit File Submitter: starfighter2 File Submitted: 7 Mar 2009 File Category: Jet Cockpits Hi there, this is the pit for "C" Zipper dash 10. Goal was to make some difference - and more "realistic" pit for use with early Starfighters (A/C). This mod is for Ajunaidr F-104C. It's not perfect but in my opinion fits the bill. I wanna to say thanks to : Batman1978, Kukulo and of course MoonJumper. Cheers Click here to download this file -

AIM-26B
starfighter2 replied to ravenclaw_007's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mods/Skinning Discussion
The AIM-26 Falcon was the only guided nuclear-armed air-to-air missile ever deployed by the USAF. Development of a nuclear-armed derivative of the AIM-4 Falcon family was first planned in 1956, when Hughes was contracted to develop the XGAR-5 and XGAR-6 missiles. These missiles were intended to be significantly larger than the standard Falcon (length/diameter increased from 2.0 m/0.16 m (80 in/6.4 in) to about 3.5 m/0.30 m (140 in/12 in)), and were to be used against high and fast-flying missiles and bombers. The two variants were identical, except for the guidance method - semi-active radar homing for the XGAR-5, and infrared homing for the XGAR-6. However, development was cancelled early in the design phase. Development of a nuclear-armed Falcon derivative started again in 1959, when it was decided that USAF interceptors needed a head-on kill capability against enemy bombers. This dictated radar homing (IR seekers of the day could only home on hot exhaust), but this was considered too inaccurate for a conventionally armed missile. Therefore a low-yield W-54 nuclear warhead was planned for the missile, which was designated as GAR-11. The GAR-11 was slightly larger, and significantly heavier than the original Falcon. Testing of the XGAR-11 proceded without problems during 1960, and in 1961, the GAR-11 became operational with F-102 interceptors. The nuclear warhead, and the inherent all-weather capability of the SARH guidance made the GAR-11 the most powerful air-to-air missile ever deployed. Detonation of the warhead was triggered by a radar proximity fuze. However, the nuclear warhead also had a major disadvantage - the missile could not be used against low-flying aircraft over friendly territory. Therefore the conventionally armed GAR-11A was developed in parallel. The GAR-11A was relatively little used by the USAF, but was exported to Sweden (and license-built there) as RB-27. GAR-11 (AIM-26A) GAR-11A (AIM-26B) In 1963, the GAR-11 Falcon missiles were redesignated in the AIM-26 series. The XGAR-11, GAR-11, and GAR-11A became the XAIM-26A, AIM-26A, and AIM-26B, respectively. Improvements in radar-homing in the late 1960's made the AIM-7 Sparrow missile effective in frontal attacks. This fact, together with the AIM-26A's unsuitability against low-level threats, led to a quick phase-out, and by 1971 the AIM-26A was no longer in service. The Swedish RB-27 (AIM-26B) was used by J 35 Draken fighters until the late 1990's. In total, about 4000 AIM-26 missiles of both variants were produced. Data for GAR-11 (AIM-26A): Length 2.14 m (84.2 in) Wingspan 0.620 m (24.4 in) Diameter 0.279 m (11 in) Weight 92 kg (203 lb) Speed Mach 2 Range 8-16 km (5-10 miles) Propulsion Thiokol M60 solid-fuel rocket; 26 kN (5800 lb) Warhead W-54 nuclear fission warhead (0.25 kT *) *The 250 T yield is the figure quoted by most public sources. However, according to a first-hand account of an individual who worked with the weapon, the true nominal yield was actually 1.5 kT. -
