Making a pseudo F-4C/D
Blade replied to mppd's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mods/Skinning Discussion
Thank you, I know about them (and I have them). But ever since I bought SF2E I've been continuously amazed by the detail level of the stock Phantoms (especially the redesigned CM dispensers on the inboard pylons), so I decided to make my own ARNie F-4E based on the F-4E_78 (provided that these parts will ever be available).

Making a pseudo F-4C/D
Blade replied to mppd's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mods/Skinning Discussion
Hi Mike, I'm curious to know (therefore I am HUMBLY asking) if you still plan to make these (I'm especially interested in the TISEO and the ARN-101 spine fairing). Thank you. Bl. -
View File Razorback F-4C in Egypt I Scheme Razorback F-4C in Egypt I Scheme (for SFP1, WoV & WoE) This skin depicts an F-4C of the 184th TFS (aka the 'Flying Razorbacks'), painted in the Egypt I scheme. At least one plane of this squadron (the MiG killer 64-0748) wore this livery in 1988-89. The 184th TFS is assigned to the Arkansas ANG. They flew the F-4C from 1979. Extract the 'Objects' folder and copy it directly into your game directory. Now, hopefully, you can select the skin in the loadout menu within the game. Thanks to: Drdoyo for his F-4E template; Bobrock for the weathering layers I borrowed from his F-104G template; Mppd & Sundowner for some skin details (cockpit inside and exhaust area).

Request for skinners
Blade replied to amariani's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mods/Skinning Discussion
Hi Guys, The pack is uploaded and waiting for approval. For now, it is for the 1st gen games, but I plan to modify it to work with the SF2 F-4C_67. I hope I'll find the time to do that. Thank you for your interest. Bl. -

Request for skinners
Blade replied to amariani's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mods/Skinning Discussion
Hi, I'm happy that you like my little teaser. I made this skin some time ago for the 1st gen (SFP1, WoV & WoE) F-4C. It hasn't been released, because some skin details were borrowed from others' (mppd's & Sundowner's) works. If you get me Sundowner's approval (mppd states in his readmes that 'we are free to use any of his art', so I guess no permission is needed from him), I can upload it for you and for anyone interested. Anyway, the skin is 1024x1024 and based on Drdoyo's template. -

Making a pseudo F-4C/D
Blade replied to mppd's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mods/Skinning Discussion
You should try. I cannot depict the amazement what I felt after my first successful trap. Thank you, you'd make me real happy. Sadly, I don't think I have either the time or the inclination (let alone the skills) to 'get into the 3D business', so I'll be waiting patiently for you and the other big guys. I am familiar with all but one of these expressions. Would you be so kind to let me know what ADSID is? Thanks, Bl. -
Making a pseudo F-4C/D
Blade replied to mppd's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mods/Skinning Discussion
BTW, what I tried to imply a few posts before was that to me you seemed to be much more interested in USAF Phantoms, I didn't mean to question your knowledge about naval birds. Bl. -
Making a pseudo F-4C/D
Blade replied to mppd's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mods/Skinning Discussion
Hi again, I just don't understand why you're saying this... Anyway, I know that these things are really hard to learn and I appreciate your hard work put into perfecting the F-4C/D. That was the reason why I gathered all my courage to ask you, because, for me, the DECM fairings of the F-4J/N are something like the correct LEFs and RHAW gear of the F-4C/D for you. Been missing these for a loooong time... Sundowner's post above has given me new hope, so I'm busy waiting. Thanks and sorry for bothering. Bl. -

Blade replied to mppd's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mods/Skinning Discussion
Hi Mike, You seem to be into AF Phantoms rather than USN/USMC birds, but seeing the things you managed to accomplish gave me an idea. I don't have the tools and the skills to realize it (otherwise I'd do it myself), so I'm asking you. Would you be so kind - of course only if you happen to have some free time and some inclination - to build the DECM fairings located on the intakes of the later F-4J (shorter fairing) and the F-4N (longer fairing)? I hope you give a thought to my humble request. Otherwise sorry for bothering. Bl. -
USAF Cold War Schemes
Blade replied to bcyc's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mods/Skinning Discussion
Here is a picture to illustrate that: -
Just an idea: check if there are lines starting with "DiameterLimit=" or similar in the AIM-7 station entries. (And a note in brackets: the F-4S (and B/J/N) had the chaff and flare dispensers on the top of the rear fuselage, unlike in the case of USAF Phantoms, which had them on the rear part of the innerwing pylons.)

How to get IR SAMs to fire?
Blade replied to AntEater's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
Been playing with the Chaparral recently and had similar issues. I tried fiddling with the missile's parameters, and increasing the field of view seemed to solve the problem (or at least increased the frequency of missile launches). Perhaps an increased FOV (40-50 degrees) is no too historically correct for the Chaparral, but at least it seems to work now... IIRC the SA-8 explodes because of a misplaced missile. When the launcher fires that missile it basically "hits itself" with it and explodes. Try checking the missile positions in the launcher's data.ini. And, IIRC, in case of the HAWK, the culprit is an incorrect hitbox. Try to change (i.e. decrease) the Min and MaxExtentPositions in the launchers data.ini. -

Yes, XWA is moddable. You can add new craft, missions, campaigns and there are total conversion packs as well.

Hi, IIRC the Fury included in Taiwan Straits 1958 ALL-INCLUSIVE Campaign Mod is equipped with a virtual tailhook.
