Mi 24 mod..
DoctorQuest replied to m275500's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
^Good post. You can get IL-2 cheap at GOG as well. I think they used to have a number of patch levels available so it made it easy to get the version you need for BAT. -
Mi 24 mod..
DoctorQuest replied to m275500's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
gog.com currently (7/29/2021) has EECH and EEAH on sale for $1.19US. There are comments about EECH not being a "real" simulator. Probably a DCS snob. :) I consider EECH just as much of a "simulator" as SF2. Not perfect but a hell of a lot of fun. gog.com also has HIND which is a much older Mi-24 sim. The graphic are dated but usable and it has one of the best "realistic" FMs I think I've ever seen. You will need all of your wits about you to fly that beast. Good luck on your sim search! -
Mi 24 mod..
DoctorQuest replied to m275500's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
It is quite a bit different than SF2 in terms of gameplay. My point is that for $6 you can give it a shot and if you don't like it you haven't lost a lot. For that matter, games go on sale frequently at gog.com and you may be able pick it up for less than retail. I am not trying to sell you anything. It is well known that SF2 really does not support helicopters and even the best helo flight models are still tweaks of fixed wing FMs. Up to you. -
Mi 24 mod..
DoctorQuest replied to m275500's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
If you really want to fly the MI-24 I would highly recommend getting a copy of Enemy Engaged – Comanche vs. Hokum at gog.com for 6 bucks and then go get the mods available at http://eechcentral.simhq.com/ EECH is a true helicopter simulation and the mods have done a fantastic job of bring it up to date for modern hardware. The MI-24 is one of the jewels of the mod. -
Understood. Fair point.

Actually they did do X-Wing Alliance. Scroll down on the page. https://www.xwaupgrade.com/index.php

We Are Burdened With Glorious Purpose...

You guys do great work. I wish I could provide more than simply moral support. Good luck on your talent search! -

DoctorQuest replied to dsawan's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Sci-Fi/Anime/What If Forum
Reminds me of the Viper from Battlestar Galactica. Ok....................but where does the fuel go??????? -
Interesting. Downloading the demo now. Nice to see the potential for a competitor to Steel Beasts.

Whats your experience transferring installs between systems?
DoctorQuest replied to daddyairplanes's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
I have had issues transferring the EXECUTABLES between systems but never the contents of the mods folders. So I almost always do a clean install of the SF2 program folders and then copy the mods folders, update my options.ini files for the various mods and off I go. I always have a separate backup of all my mod folders. External drives are your friend. -
Installing New Icons for Strike Fighters 2
DoctorQuest replied to Kirby2012's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
I am not entirely sure I understand your question but let's try this... Any windows shortcut can have it's icon changed via the "Properties" tab available when you right-click on the shortcut. You can click Browse and navigate to a folder containing a different icon. You can even "borrow" an icon from a different exe. If that's what you are talking about we can go into more detail... -

WOFF BHaH II Features discussion
DoctorQuest replied to Hellshade's topic in WOFF BH&H2 - General Discussion
Thank you, thank you, thank you.......................... .............for having a Quick Combat option....... I never understood why that was not available in WOFFBHH1. The campaigns are great but, yes, sometimes I just want to jump in a plane and go fly. Having a blast so far..... Well done! -
No worries. Thanks.
-
I did check and the 2checkout email address is correct. Yup. Hoping I can get started with this over the weekend. I will gladly provide the order number, etc. if that helps.
-
How long does it take to get the "download" email? I ordered the product on 4/9? Still no sign of a confirmation email (and, yes, I check my junk folder :))

Operation Desert Storm: 30th Anniversary Edition
DoctorQuest replied to Menrva's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters Series News
I can't figure out why the F-117 TV display does not seem to work for night missions. All I get is a blank screen. I do understand I have to the the LGB selected as my weapon. On day missions I get a display. I do realize the SF2 has some avionics limitations but I thought this was a valid question. I will do some research on prior versions of the F-117 I have. I thought the TV/FLIR display worked differently on those versions? -

Operation Desert Storm: 30th Anniversary Edition
DoctorQuest replied to Menrva's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters Series News
I am confused over the subscription requirement for this download. Please clarify. Thanks. And maybe put the subscription requirement in the "minimum requirements" section. :) I know you document it in the forum announcement but I can't find anything about it in the actual download section. (And I see 1 month in one place and 6 months in another....) I am sure most folks won't have a problem with the subscription but it would be helpful to know about it up front. Thanks again for all the work. Looking forward to giving it a try. -

Thanks to everyone involved in this project! I have only dabbled in modding but I understand the commitment of time and effort required to produce a quality add-on. I am so looking forward to getting some stick time in on this baby. -
