WW2
Typhoid replied to gumpy's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mission/Campaign Building Discussion
sure. its about 3rd in line but I'd be glad to hack at it. -
I noticed the controls on the F-1 were off too. It didn't act right. that doesn't mean that if you rolled left it didn't, etc., it means that it was very unstable and did not respond as an aircraft should. on my system I tweaked the ailerons and that smoothed it out some using some other Mirage's as a guide. its still not quite right, but acceptable. a new FM or substantially reworked one would be nice.

WW2
Typhoid replied to gumpy's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mission/Campaign Building Discussion
I don't know too much about the campaign writing. What I have done so far is copy an existing one and tweak some numbers using wordpad. there is quite a lot in the knowledge section about different pieces. for terrains, take a look over at Major Lee's terrains, he was some European theater WWII terrain versions. -
sub hunting
Typhoid replied to Darrin's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mission/Campaign Building Discussion
your comments are all fair and good. My shot above was of a Soviet who was apparently trying to get an ESM cut from his exposed mast. He got a lot of attention. sub guys just can't resist putting the 'scope up for a look though even with all their modern stuff and thats' when the old Mark I eyeball and radar flooding catches them. Putting ASW in this would be very limited. catching scopes up would be sufficient, I think. -
Help with Vietnam 1984 mod

once you hit the last waypoint the needle on the tacan points to the carrier. usually...... -
are you using one of the complete WWII mods like the Solomons? I get lots of opposition and wingmen. http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?autom...p;showfile=1805 there is also a wwii and a flying tigers. you need to grab some extra terrains here, over at Major Lee's site and one of the other source for WWII China, Libya, Europe, PI, New Guineau, North Africa, etc. also Wolf's package here. get those all loaded up and you will have more Fokers than you can sneeze at....

Grumman S-2F Tracker
Typhoid replied to a topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
now I really need to get logged into Capun's site!! That does bring back memories. -
sorry to take so long. you only have to change one file, the campaign data.ini file that has the detailed info in it. When you do you will see for that squadron the missions and ordanance available. Be sure to tailor that to match what you are changing. In other words, if you substitute an air to air aircraft for a strike aircraft that has bombs only, you will have no ammo available. Key point though is to match the aircraft with the time frame. if you try to put an aircraft into a time period when it wasn't operational, it won't work. I have only had a limited success in doing this, but I did get an F-111 campaign in the stock campaigns doing the above.

Mayday, Desert.cat needed!
Typhoid replied to Shin_kazama's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
absolutely not! That would cross TK's redline and invite interesting discussions in various civil courts. You can only have that if you have the SF. otherwise you have to use what you have in WOV or WOE. I have not seen the effect you describe. I have every terrain out there and what I do is readdress the ini file to use the germanyce.cat file. Works great. The NW that I bring up is the NW. etc. -
one of the mods to the Korean War campaign broke the carrier. I haven't been able to reconstruct it. A new upgrade is in the works so I shelved that particular aspect for now. The Bering St one is broken too. The Taiwan one works fine, not to mention Vietnam. Also if you go browse for the Libya Warlord there is a good carrier campaign in there.

I'm not following you here. If you are on the cat you aren't aiming, you are being aimed! I have even been shot downwind rather than into the wind on many occasions. The cat officer just dialed up the end speed to give us flying speed and we got a REAL kick in the .....!! That one would cage your eyeballs and better than an E ticket ride at Disneyland! they craned the EA-3 up, out of the way and craned it off in the next inport. They later fixed it and it flew back aboard a few months later. There were not enough of them to afford junking it. We needed that coverage!!
