Quick question...well...maybe...
FastCargo replied to comrpnt's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mission/Campaign Building Discussion
Computer generated parked aircraft only appear in campaigns or computer generated single missions. User created missions will not have any aircraft other than the aircraft built within the mission. FC -

Etendard IVM
FastCargo replied to bobrock's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mods/Skinning Discussion
Bobrock, 1 - RPM guage, based on pictures of newer versions, the RPM guage seems to be in the same area. 2,3 - Your guess is as good as any...assuming the different rings represent interval release. However, I'd almost think it was a radio of some sort. I see graduations from 750 - 1000. Assuming that's kHz, that would be right in the middle of the older Aviation and Navigation spectrum. 4 - A radar altimeter? That would explain why it goes in the reverse direction... FC PS And what's wrong with unnecessary animations...as long as they don't take away from necessary animations... -

Decal/Mesh confusion
FastCargo replied to wilco's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mods/Skinning Discussion
Yea, that is the Nose mesh...hmmm not sure why it isn't showing. Maybe the total number of decals? FC -
Oh my Gawd! Bwhahahaha!!! Heck, at least the mess in the Bone was a bit more confined... FC

I wish it did! No such luck I'm afraid.... Well, no one is going to be trying to check you out when you're on the can, so you can pretty much do what you want. Also, you have to remember, like most modern aircraft, even the airliners, the cockpit area is kind of noisy (imagine a large vacuum cleaner), so depending on the aircraft, you may not even be able to talk to each other without intercom. The B-1 was a bit noisy, so you needed the intercom. The airliners I've flown are a bit quieter, so you can talk and be heard, but you have to speak up a bit. Either way, unless you like to shout while you're on the can, no one is going to hear if you're pushing out a torpedo. Oh HELL no...because then the rest of the crew would have to live with it for the remainder of the flight! Well, also note that there is a curtain that can be drawn...those were installed once we started having women as crewmembers. But like a lot of things, there is a funny story.... For those who don't know, the B-1B's toliet is basically not much different then a port-a-potty. It's simply a removeable box, filled with the blue stuff, which has a knife valve that seals it from the 'bowl' area. The idea is that the knife valve seals it when not in use to prevent spillage during zero or negative G manuvers. Now, the tech order specifically states that the knife valve is to be opened (by pulling a T handle located at the front of the toliet) before the lid of the toliet is raised. The reason that particular note is in the tech order now is because of an incident that happened in the early days of the B-1B being on the line. During flight, one of the crew members went to use the toliet, put the lid up, then went to open the knife valve. However, what had happened was that somehow the 'box' containing the blue stuff (and whatever else) had developed a differential of pressure. In other words, the box had more pressure inside than outside. It makes sense of course, for anyone who has flown in an airliner, you'll see balloons, sealed drinks, sealed packs of food, etc, all 'puff up' because the cabin pressure is lower than the pressure inside the container. Well, our stalwart crewmember opens the knife valve, and because he had to kneel to do it, his upper body was only about a foot away from the bowl area of the toliet. Like anything else where a differential exists, it tries to equalize at the closest point. Which in this case, was the bowl area of the toliet. The air comes rushing out of the box, along with whatever else was in the box at the time (I'll leave that to your imagination) and promptly sprays all over the upper part of the crewmember, along with some of the opposite wall. He was heard to yell "Oh, Sh---" before the mess totally covered his head. We never did ask if he was being reactive or just descriptive.... FC

FA-18A AGM-65E loadout problem in WOE-ODS

Any one of a million reasons...too wide, too long, too heavy, etc... FC -
Unfortunately, until all the shooters are either killed or captured, any info we get is going to be spotty at best. Say a prayer for the families of those killed and wounded. FC

JM, Totally with you on that! I always thought she looked best when she was in Stargate:The Ark of Truth. In V, she just looks creepy (which may be the point...). FC

About A-6A DIANE for Strike Fighters 2!
FastCargo replied to AGOSTINO's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
It puts the CAT directory in the directory the original CAT file was in. FC -
Get better soon...we'll be here when you get back! FC

Us too, it was really starting to get interesting. Plus, since T4 didn't do that well at the box office, pretty much killed any possibility of renewal. FC

Dollhouse is already back, they've been showing the new season eps for some time. TSCC on the other hand is done. FC

About A-6A DIANE for Strike Fighters 2!
FastCargo replied to AGOSTINO's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
Actually, you don't need to move the CAT file. Gerwin's extractor will create a directory named "Cat File" and dump all the extracted files into it. Example, if you wanted to extract Objectdata10.cat, you simply drag the CAT file over the Cat extractor. Windows will ask if you want to run the Cat extractor, once you click Yes, a Command Line window will pop up, and Windows will create a directory called Objectdata10, then dump all the extracted files into it. It will even create subdirectories where appropriate. Easy as pie. FC -
Any Tutorial?

I'm pretty sure we have the F-15s covered. http://forum.combatace.com/topic/45664-eagles-gone-wild/page__st__60__p__332465entry332465 Maybe you want to try modeling something a little simpler first. FC -

Playable MiG-23 for WoI?
FastCargo replied to Miracles's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
There is no trojan in that pack, I've scanned it myself and all the individual files inside with several programs. It has been downloaded over 3600+ times, and not one person says there is a trojan in it. We take this kind of stuff VERY seriously here. Secondly, any aircraft can use any cockpit if you know what you are doing. Check the Knowledge Base for details. FC -

SF2I and merged install changes in asymmetrical Dropt tank set up
FastCargo replied to ravenclaw_007's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mods/Skinning Discussion
Well, for 3rd party, I can understand because they haven't been made to SF2 standards. But for stock aircraft? I guess I don't see the point. If all your stock aircraft have built in drop tanks, I wouldn't have any separate external drop tank LODs, and I'd get rid of any asymetrical references...makes life easier. Not doubting what you are saying, just surprised it still is done that way. FC -
Playable MiG-23 for WoI?
FastCargo replied to Miracles's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
There is nothing wrong with that file except for the fact that it's old. And by the way, have you looked in our downloads section lately? There are a ton of MiG-23s for download. FC
