The Works In Progress Thread
FastCargo replied to Wrench's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mods/Skinning Discussion
Hell, I was trying to see if the program would crash, because the values were getting in the absurd range. The aircraft kept accelerating even though the thrust was at zero. It ended up stabilizing at about the Mach number you see there (Mach 1500~). FC -
The Works In Progress Thread
FastCargo replied to Wrench's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mods/Skinning Discussion
Still working on the FM on this one...trying to figure out how the drag numbers are going into the negative range... Which results in the fast... Very fast... And ludicrous speed... One of these days... FC -
How to add onboard ECM to an aircraft?
FastCargo replied to habahaba's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mods/Skinning Discussion
What these 2 lines do is create a 'box' defined by 2 coordinates in 3 dimensional space. This box determines: 1. Where the ECM emitter is at. 2. And a 'hitbox' for a gun or missile to destroy. FC -
SF2 tomcats
FastCargo replied to hi ho silver's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
The Tomcats will more than likely not be ready by Christmas. FC -
SF2 tomcats
FastCargo replied to hi ho silver's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
They are being worked on...but none are out. FC -
Right on there JM! FC

Well, the other problem is that there is actually quite a bit of original stuff that comes from Hollywood, even recently. But no one goes to see it. For instance, a dark comedy called World's Greatest Dad...anyone here heard of it? Did you see it? Raves about it at the Sundance film festival. Or the science fiction movie Sunshine made in 2007. Or the more recent Moon in 2009. Studios have a hard time investing in movies with original concepts anymore because it costs so much to make a movie, especially one with decent effects. Far easier for them to invest in franchises that already have a fan base. FC

I don't know, some of that list...the original source material wasn't that great to begin with...so a remake isn't going to be a whole lot better unless it's completely different. And finally, it's not like a lot of this stuff is Shakespeare anyway... FC

Using the new Shaders in standalone SF2x
FastCargo replied to xclusiv8's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mods/Skinning Discussion
No, the shaders are part of the SF2I engine. Eventually there will be a patch that will bring the other SF2 series sims up to date. However, that will 'break' most of the 3rd party effects in NF4+. If you must run NF4+, use a merged install with SF2I, and just have it point to the NF4+ mod folder when using the SF2I engine. It will probably work, just most of the 3rd party effects will be disabled. FC -
YAP2
FastCargo replied to CloudyIFR's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
YAP2 is not officially supported here. Please contact the YAP2 developers for help. FC -
Actually, I don't mind remakes as long as they are done well. You can look at BSG, Star Trek, Batman as very successful remakes/reboots. However, for every good remake, there are more than a few that suck...Andromedia Strain comes to mind... FC

What you see above are 2 3x5 inch cards that I made in order to simplify weapon choices and delivery profiles for F-19 Stealth Fighter. What I keep wondering (happened to dig these out while I was cleaning out old computer stuff - anyone want an OLD school FLCS/TQS/RCS - ISA gameport card and everything) is if I did the flight testing myself to work this out or all of this was in the manual somewhere. I know at least some of the weapon effectiveness on various targets was in the manual...but the delivery profiles... Anyone remember? FC

The Tomcat's gone...
FastCargo replied to Fubar512's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Sci-Fi/Anime/What If Forum
I'm assuming that the counters would be a sub hierarchy under WEAPON_STATION_SELECTOR. Are they not showing up at all? Or just not counting? I've noticed some of the counters still don't work (chaff and flare) so maybe they aren't activated yet? FC PS Wait, I just noticed in the F-15C, I used WEAPON_QUANTITY as a 'cover' to 'blank out' a station once the weapons were gone...so it at least works as a LIGHT. -
The Tomcat's gone...
FastCargo replied to Fubar512's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Sci-Fi/Anime/What If Forum
Heck Julhelm, I wish I could have kept up with this thread eariler...could have helped you with that. Did the MFD work for the updated F-15C and learned the hard way about the proper hierarchy. FC -
VF-0A/B/S

Good luck with that. FC -
Well, there are modern colloquial expressions that have stranger origins...this doesn't sound unreasonable on the face of it... FC

Happy birthday Ant! FC

JM, I'd be very curious if you could find that info... FC

Recommendations for a flight bag...?
FastCargo replied to malibu43's topic in Military and General Aviation
Well, to be honest, just about any bag will do. It doesn't specifically need to be a flight bag. I use a decent laptop bag myself. Has multiple pockets. But, I don't need to carry a headset...so that will influence what you buy. FC -
I don't always agree with you on stuff, but this is a great statement right here. Here is a good article: http://www.cracked.com/article_15974_7-insane-conspiracies-that-actually-happened.html Notice that in just about all of them, it only took one person to cause the whole thing to unravel. And notice, most of them were also before the days of 24/7 information access and ubiquitous video cameras everywhere in private and public hands. Conspiracy theorists usually give the conspirators (governments) WAY too much credit...but wouldn't trust the government to balance their checkbook. What part of that makes sense... FC

How could my plane rolls through trees?
FastCargo replied to Spad13's topic in Thirdwire - First Eagles 1&2
No. Trees are not collision modeled. FC -
How to make missile trailer bigger and longer?
FastCargo replied to JDSnypes's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
Unfortunately, that's the way most mods work other than basic adding of aircraft, weapons, pilots. Most editing only requires a basic text editor like notepad. FC -
Quick question...well...maybe...
FastCargo replied to comrpnt's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mission/Campaign Building Discussion
No problem my friend, you've done some great work over the years! FC -
Eject, If you cannot be grateful for the help that people have been trying to give you, you can leave. You have been a source of annoyance lately, attempting to post several politically charged topics within the semblance of playing the game or modding or troubleshooting. You now have started insulting long time members of the ThirdWire community who were trying to help you. We do not get paid for putting up with rude or insulting behavior here. Keep your politics to yourself and ask for and accept help graciously. Or find yourself ejected. FC
