why aern't my ships working?
Typhoid replied to fadastef's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
two problems. 1. you have to build a mission, the create mission function only selects cargo ships and tankers. so......... change the warship data_ini file role to cargo ship. I haven't seen that actually work, yet, but in theory.... 2. build a mission using the KMD mission editor. There are a couple already posted in the mission file section of this site. 3. a lot of the ships available won't work anyway because they were built before a later mod. only some of the more recent ones will work. I am going to work on some carrier mission packs that will include some anti-warship missions when I get some time. -

I'll check that, thanks for the tip. -
Takeoff from Carriers
Typhoid replied to EricJ's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mission/Campaign Building Discussion
huh? meaning you landed with flaps set for takeoff? then went low in close with results something like this? -
Anyone want some F-18G pictures to work on? and some additional missile rail details

Constant Blackouts while flying
Typhoid replied to AT1's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
even in a real prop you'd likely either stall the plane or rip the wings off if you yanked too hard. good luck! -

an F-3H you can get over at Column 5's site. -
Constant Blackouts while flying
Typhoid replied to AT1's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
you're probably yanking the stick too far, just a guess. Try setting the G force reality in the game play menu for easy and then work it up to hard a mission at a time. its actually pretty realistic. If you yank the stick back too hard while doing, say, 600kts - you're likely to leave the wings behind on many aircraft. -

is that like the Ides of March? -
Adding aircraft to WOE campaigns
Typhoid replied to TurtleHawk's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
yep, you've got it. But the campaign ini files include two files. change the aircraft type in both. -
Are Laser Guided Weapons modeled?
Typhoid replied to TurtleHawk's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
actually you can. If you are flying a mission using an aircraft that needs to have a pod loaded, you can load the pod on any OTHER aircraft in the flight and you can drop the LGB. Or the reverse. Works great. but if you meant having a FAC do the lasing, you are quite right. -
How to take off from carrier in Single Mission?
Typhoid replied to mawhonic's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
it is. On a later tour when I was on the 6th Fleet Staff, we rode the Iowa for a few months as our flagship. I still have a piece of the teak deck with a plaque on it from that tour. You haven't lived until you stand on the bridge during a 16" gun shoot!!! Real Artillery is 16" -
How to take off from carrier in Single Mission?
Typhoid replied to mawhonic's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
i will do that. I operated off of Libya for several years during two tours in 6th Fleet and had a real "exciting" watch one morning on the 4th of Jan 89. Your package was definitely bringing back both memories and a few nightmares. but it will be a few weeks before I can spend the time to build, debug and release some Typhoid Mission Packs. I will take this as permission to borrow and modify with full appropriate credits for an outstanding example of a mission pack. -
Sukhoi SU-34 Platypus
Typhoid replied to bwRavencl's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
it is quite incredible to see the depths of journalistic nonsense that the former Aviation Leak had fallen to. Next they will print a story unmasking the secret Halyburton mining site on Mars that is causing Martian Global Warming and the melting of the Martian Icecaps........ -
Adding aircraft to WOE campaigns
Typhoid replied to TurtleHawk's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
one method I've found that works is to change an existing squadron to whatever you want. There are two ini files for the campaigns, change one of the squadron types in both files to whatever you want to fly. Be sure the aircraft that you are adding is flyable in the time period of the campaign! -
F-14D VF-213 "Lions Head"
Typhoid replied to EricJ's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mods/Skinning Discussion
yup. its only the F-14A done previously with some capability and engine changes to account for the additional stuff. It in no way is a new 3d model. There are some in the works over at the MF which will replace the one I've uploaded when they come out. great work!! You're way ahead of what little I can do with this stuff. I like the greasy paw prints. As an old squadron maintenance officer, I appreciate the realism you have here. Last Tomcat Cruise photo attached along with a shot from my last cruise -
Takeoff from Carriers
Typhoid replied to EricJ's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mission/Campaign Building Discussion
thank you for your service, shipmate! Best of luck you to. Hope you understand that I pray both for your safe return and that you don't have occasion to meet my son...... -

you're deployed? where at and doing what, shipmate? -
JDAM
Typhoid replied to Redddevil911's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
in this century, yes. Should be able to. -
JDAM
Typhoid replied to Redddevil911's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
its already in the weapons pack, but you do have to be flying in the time period that it became available, i.e., in the 21st Century. Fly the F-23 in 2010 and you can drop JDAMs all over. -
Are Laser Guided Weapons modeled?
Typhoid replied to TurtleHawk's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
depending on the aircraft that is rather important. Sometimes you need to load the pod, and sometimes its incorporated in the aircraft. In the weapons pack pdf there is a pretty good description of that. -
Takeoff from Carriers
Typhoid replied to EricJ's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mission/Campaign Building Discussion
by trapping, do you mean aboard the Kuznetzov? it should be pretty much the same for an F-14, or anything else, coming aboard. of course if you get a little low and slow......
