Weird freeze when hitting ESC
DoctorQuest replied to BavarianPrivateer's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
I have had problems running SF1 under Win10. Just sayin'. You don't say what OS you are using. My issues are more around overall performance. I don't know anything about the DX modules you are referring to. I have had to use a tweaked version of DDRAW.DLL for some games under Win10. I don't remember any references to needed it for SF1. I could be wrong. I REALLY don't know anything about the DeusEx d3d9.dll. I have you tried removing these two DX tweaks just to see what happens? -
Widescreen monitor stretching

Yes, I think the "menu" screens are displayed differently than the actual simulation world screens. I've seen the same thing. Glad you got it working! -
I do. Not as much as some other sims on my rig but every once and a while I need to go bust me some balloons. :)

How to make "mod folder" and how to put addon in it?
DoctorQuest replied to HantuLaut's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
And this is why ThirdWire got out of the PC software business as I understand it. Too much piracy. -
I had a self-designed Estes rocket do something like that once. Terrifying...............................................................................

TMF F-14 Speed and Fuel Indicators Wrong?
DoctorQuest replied to JamesWilson's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
Might be time for you to jump into modding. I have no idea if it can be done but you could try replacing the TMF instrument with the Thirdwire instrument.- 24 replies

I have meant for a long time to say how much I appreciate your work on EAW. It has always been one of my favorite sims and to have it be playable in this day and age is just amazing. One of my prized possessions is the original printed manual for the game. They don't make them like that anymore. Keep up the good work!

What made everyone play SF2
DoctorQuest replied to TheStig's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
I liked it's equivalence to European Air War in terms of being able to jump in and fly a quick mission or dig into a campaign. I know people say it's "lite" compared to something like DCS but I think as a COMBAT sim it really excels at delivering that experience. I really don't like DCS for a lot of reasons I won't go into here. Let's just say it is not my go-to sim. If I want a FLIGHT simulator I will go with MSFS or X-Plane. Easy to play, easy to mod, great community, great mods. What is not to like from a easy to access COMBAT simulator? -
My only complaint is Steam distribution. That's just a personal opinion and is not a reflection on the quality of the game in any way. Steel Beasts really needed some competition as well IMHO. I have been waiting for years for a Steel Beasts "non-pro". GHPC really fits that bill. And I STILL play M-1 Tank Platoon 2!!

A GOOD 2 Weeks!!!

Agreed! Bravo! -
Merry Christmas to everyone. Stay safe. (It's going to get a little nasty around here Christmas Day.)

RIP. An amazing resource for a lot of different subjects. He will be missed.

GOG always gives you an options screen that allows you to specify the install folder.

Always GOG, at least to start with. I hate Steam DRM. I do know people complain that GOG does not keep stuff updated as well as Steam. I'm not sure that would be true with EAW as much as other games. My 2 cents.

This is fantastic. Thank you!
