AFAIK there is no such conversion. For the X-Wing Alliance level (I suppose you refer to graphics and gameplay) you still need to have XWA...

VA-115 A-1H skin and VA-22 A-4C skin?
Blade replied to bigstone's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mods/Skinning Discussion
Indeed, the A-4B, C and E use the same bitmaps. However some texture files of the A-4F (fuselage and tail) are slighty different. (Some parts had to be re-located because of the avionics hump.) -
Hi, I think it is some compatibility issue with XP. I had the same problem some time ago with XvT as well. IIRC, a fix I downloaded from somewhere solved my problem. On this page you can find a compatibility fix. I know it says it is for X-W 95 and T-F 95, but, if my memory serves me well, this was the fix that solved my problem.

Some A-6 questions
Blade replied to allenjb42's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mods/Skinning Discussion
Considering the fact that only 19 Intruders were converted to A-6B standards, I guess only a handful could be assigned to each squadron. The following quotation (http://www.aero-web.org/specs/grumman/a-6b.htm) seems to suport this: -
A couple of questions...
Blade replied to Piloto's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
Keep using the GermanyCE.cat. IMHO what you need is a tile set only (see the link in my post above). And here is the relevant topic from the Knowledge Base: http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?showtopic=12230. -
A couple of questions...
Blade replied to Piloto's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
Hi, Try downloading a texture set for the desert terrain. The Suez terrain is default to the stock SFP1 desert texture, however the GermanyCE.cat file you use contains a different set of terrain texture files. IMHO that may be the problem. I recommend this. -
Crosshairs?
Blade replied to Kiwi's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
IIRC this issue was discussed at the TW forums some time ago. If my memory serves me well, a .tga file had been left out accidentally. TK said he would check it and the next patch would fix it. -

Thanks guys, I'm really touched (actually moved to tears). -
Swamp Foxes Over the Desert
Blade replied to Dave's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mods/Skinning Discussion
Then it's a preview of two F-16 skins (about to be released) depicting two ANG (NY & SC) units participating in Desert Storm!!! Any prize for the correct answer? -

Falling in love with the F-8 Crusader...
Blade replied to F-4PhantomII's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
A more persistent problem was that the cartridges could be jammed in the cannon feeds by high-gee maneuvers, and in addition such maneuvers could also deplete the pneumatic air supply that drove the feed mechanism. There was never really a fix for these two problems. (http://www.vectorsite.net/avcrus_2.html) -

start number=
Blade replied to Canadair's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mission/Campaign Building Discussion
It affects aircraft numbers (or any other decals having the 'DecalLevel=2' entry in the Decals.ini file). 'Startnumber=0' makes the first plane in the squadron carry the first number, see the 'Numbers.lst' files in the skin folders. E. g. '100' for a USN F-4 unit or '300' for a USN A-4 squadron, etc. -
Maybe a glimmer of hope... (Cited from X-Wing Series on Wikipedia)

Static WOV Stock Aircraft Pack
Blade replied to comrpnt's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - File Announcements
Anyone interested in having parked Intruders with wings folded? It's quite easy, here's what to do: Open the A-6A_Static_Data.ini with Notepad. Then find the section that starts with [Fuselage], scroll down to the bottom of the section, and add the following line: SystemName[006]=WingFold Now go to the bottom of the file and add the following: [WingFold] SystemType=HIGHLIFT_DEVICE DeploymentMethod=AUTOMATIC_SPEED Setting[1].Angle=30.0 Setting[1].DeployValue=0.0 Setting[1].RetractValue=5.0 MaxDeflection=30.0 MinDeflection=0.0 ControlRate=0.2 AnimationID=8 Now your static Intruders are parked with wings folded. PS: comrpnt, I hope you don't mind that I'm fiddling with your mod... -
Animation Keys
Blade replied to column5's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mods/Skinning Discussion
Since we're talking about animations - and I don't think anyone has come up with THIS - I have a question: What do you do after a successful trap aboard a carrier? You fold your wings... The A/C is the stock WoV A-6A. -
Cockpits for F4s or G
Blade replied to C46thVA's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
The pit (and avionics, at least game-wise) of the F-4G is quite similar to (if not the same as) that of the F-4E, so the stock (or any downloadable hi-rez) F-4E pit can be used as stand-in. The pit of the F-4S is nearly identical to that of the F-4J. The only difference I could find is the radar controls and display. F-4S pit: By any chance, could anyone enlighten me about the characteristics of the radar (APQ-99 IIRC) used in the F-4S? I've been trying to come up with some info or data for some time now, but all I could find was that it is capable of displaying range information, bearing information and IFF information, but no figures or exact data. I guess we could model it in the SFP1-series (using the Avionics70.dll), provided that we have the exact data... -

Was the Death Star Attack an Inside Job!

IMHO X-Wing Alliance still rocks, especially with the improved 3D models made by modders for almost all the ships and objects appearing in the game. BTW, hasn't anyone tried the TIE Fighter Total Conversion Pack for X-Wing Alliance? And some interesting stuff: X-Wing graphics through time.
