Sooner than you think.... FC -
Install the latest version of DirectX 9.0c...it doesn't conflict with DirectX 11 and will be detected by CFS3/OFF as the appropriate DirectX needed. DirectX 10 and 11 don't have legacy code from what I understand (ie older games won't be able to use them). FC

How much money and time have you invested in OFF or in posting on these boards? A hobby by its very definition does not have to be logical, cost effective, or even reasonably answer the question why. FC

Wow...those look really good! FC

First attempt at a high alt/high speed nuke drop in the B-70A...not a bad score for eyeballing it... Maybe McNamara was right...run Forrest run! Swing and a miss...thank God it wasn't nuke tipped... FC -
You still working on this LL? I've been finally working on the B-70 FM using the knowledge I gained working on the B-1B FM...the problem is I'm running into the borders on the normal maps. I've hit 3 of the 4 'edges' on the Desert terrain in the same flight within a few minutes (admittedly, that's at 8x speed, but still...). Anyway, I think I need a bigger playground... FC

'Two weeks'....it's all relative... Two weeks at .0c is two weeks...but two weeks at .99c...is a LONG time... And since all observers are relative to each other... FC

Lexx, Gotta disagree...there is plenty of craptastic in the old films too. One only has to watch 'Mystery Science Theater 3000' to know that. FC

You got that right brother. I'm a firm believer in: 1) Release everything you legally can with the mod (that's why most aircraft/mods I release have their full effects, weapons, objects included) 2) Make the installation as simple as possible 3) Make the instructions as easy to read as possible 4) Test the installation yourself first before releasing...I've caught several glitches that way It's more work on my end, but it results in mods that people want to use and separates true quality verses just 'good enough'. ktickner6767, if you want to see how it's done, download my Classified Mission Mod. It's small, simple, fun and if it takes more than 5 minutes to get up and running, I'll be very surprised. It's so simple, a Mac user could do it. FC

Nope...do not copy the SF2:I folder. It's simple as simple gets...you copy 2 files (both located in the Strike Fighters 2 directory): 1) StrikeFighters2 (xxxx).exe 2) StrikeFighters2 (xxxx).ini Where (xxxx) is the specific sim (Europe, Israel, Vietnam). Hold down the ctrl key, use the mouse to select both files and drag into the same directory (ie make a copy). Then rename both of the new files to what you want...but they MUST have the same name (ie War For Israel.exe and War For Israel.ini as an example). Then, run the new exe ONCE...it will create a new Mod directory with the name of the exe. The new mod directory (in Vista or Win7) will be located by default in: "X":\Users\"UserName"\Saved Games\ThirdWire\"New Mod Folder" Where "X" is your root drive (usually C), "UserName" is the name you use for your login, and "New Mod Folder" is the name of the folder that was just created and should match the name of the exe and ini file you named. There ya go...it should now work properly when you start up your new mod. FC

KC-767 V1.1
FastCargo replied to Veltro2k's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - File Announcements
There are several techniques. One of the best is to assign it as a lift device that is automatically activated at speed. Use the KC-135A included in NatoFighters as a reference. FC -
Nesher, I was thinking the same thing...it kind of reminds me of the F-16s wings, with the F-20s fuselage, and a Gripen's nose area. Before any fanboys get in an uproar, I'm not implying anything, it would take more work to do such a thing then to just scratch build one...similar missions/requirements can sometimes tend to dictate similar designs.

The problem is most alien invasion movies suck because if you apply ANY sort of real science the plot holes are bigger than the Giant Red Spot on Jupiter. Now if they made a movie (you'd need a mini-series really) on Footfall...that would rock! FC
