A-6A DIANE bombing system
FastCargo replied to MigBuster's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - File Announcements
The sim does not truly model TFR. What you are seeing is TA radar. Ground radar has been fixed in Avionics70 with the Oct08 patch. The best way to figure out how to add it to the A-6 is to see into the Su-24 data, avionics and cockpit inis to see what is different and then cut and paste. FC -

Su-7 Wheel Problems
FastCargo replied to Piecemeal's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
Easy. Go to the data.ini and look for the landing gear entries. You should see a line that says RotationAxis=X-AXIS (or something similar). If not, add that line and experiment. USUALLY it's the X-AXIS...but if not, try the Y or Z axis. FC -
Need to Patch WoV
FastCargo replied to i fight by 1's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
What he said. We take a VERY dim view of piracy here. FC -
If you've got the space, simply make a duplicate of your current install and then patch it up. Or, as an alternative, make a clean install of WOE, patch it up, then copy your mods over to it. Most will be drag and drop...and most will still work about the same. Either way, there isn't anything preventing you from having both a unpatched and patched up install (other than disk space). That way, you can decide for yourself. FC

High rez runaways problem
FastCargo replied to Silverbolt's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
I've seen this happen when the computer system is getting stressed. My suspicion is that TK's sim detects when it's getting close to running out of video memory when loading and starts loading lower res textures or no textures. FC -

Who'da Thunk It
FastCargo replied to Dave's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
We've known about those pylons since before the model was improved. The non rotating pylons were simply not modeled because their use was rare to non-existant. We do research these kind of things. As far as the cancellation goes, again, if the model no longer meets the new requirement because the circumstances have changed, then it's good that it was cancelled. FC -
Who'da Thunk It
FastCargo replied to Dave's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
But that doesn't matter. If the author is going to compare the 2 aircraft (by the way, his arguments in the paragraph you quoted are based on carrier handling, which doesn't affect how good either aircraft is as a missiler or a dogfighter) then he needs to compare all their facets as a whole. It could also be argued that the author is being unfair to compare a projected production model to another aircraft that did not exist yet. Plenty of unfairness to go around. FC -
MF MiG-29 FPS killer?
FastCargo replied to ndicki's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
That's usually caused by fairly large skins (more than 1024 by 1024). It can also be caused by aircraft exported with the 'decal' option...which gets rid of decal bleed, in exchange for lower frame rates. That's my theory anyway... FC -
Who'da Thunk It
FastCargo replied to Dave's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
But he's comparing a supposed production version of the B model vs what actually went into service with the Tomcat. All aircraft gain weight from supposed production weight to actual production weight unless features are eliminated or reduced. That 8% would have grown more than likely. Also, that puts into question the 21% ground roll numbers...because the B model was a prototype again being compared to a production Tomcat. Finally, no mention is made here on the actual air to air capabilities of the aircraft, in particular the fire control/radar system and close range bfm capabilities. One of the things about the Tomcat was the large wing glove area made it a surprisingly agile dogfighter. I doubt that claim would ever be made by the F-111. Also, and this is more in the I'm not sure arena, I was under the impression some compromises had been made in the radar area because of the short nose...which wasn't the case with the Tomcat. However, take anything said on either side with a bit of salt. Politics has killed more than it's share of aircraft, no matter what capabilities they may have had. FC -
MF MiG-29 FPS killer?
FastCargo replied to ndicki's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
You don't suppose an FM can cause a CTD? I've been seeing some wierd stuff during B-1B prototype FM testing. I've been getting a consistent CTD if I try to stall with the gear down...but not with the gear up. Stock terrain, stock SFP1 install. Yet, this CTD has been inconsistent across users. FC -

I have to admit, I'm really surprised by that too. I honestly didn't expect that much interest in a 'failed' aircraft. FC -
Screenshot Thread
FastCargo replied to Dave's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
Nothing remarkable about this shot except the computer it was taken on. My laptop's video card had died, putting all my work on hiatus. However, out of the dustbin (we were about to give it away to charity), I found my old laptop. Works just fine...2.4G P4, ATI 7500 32MB, 768MB memory. Of course, this won't do any good for skin evals (running in 16 bit mode)...but 3DS Max works, so it's back to work...finally. FC
