Blood for Oil Modern Campaign
hotrodss replied to hotrodss's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
@Gepard, thanks...I'll get the newer F/A-18. Now, how would I fix the problem with the Mig? Can I try my other weapons packs that I have ( Weapons Pack 2.52 & Weapons Pack 1/25/2009) I've gotten a little better at editing ini files, so what would I have to do? Thanks for your help, greatly appreciated! HR -
Multiple 3rd party campaigns
hotrodss posted a topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
Is it possible (or advisable) to add multiple add-on campaigns to patched (8.30.06) SF1? OR should I do a "clean" install for each campaign I want to add? 1. I chose the 8.30.06 patch beacuse these are older campaigns and not sure if they are compatible with Oct 08 patch. 2. Don't want to have 2 or 3 installs for just 1 campaign (if possible) HR -

WoV stock A-4s Clear tail section
hotrodss posted a topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
Hey folks, Having a small problem ( as you can see) with the tail sections on A-4s with the stock skins (USNGrey1 & USMCGrey1), the tail sections are clear?!?!?! When using 3rd party add-on skins there's no problem. The ini files have the correct texturesetxxx's, had the same problem when I added 3rd party skins for the F-4B, I fixed by adding parts of the stock a/c folder. Tried the same here but no luck. Has anyone else had this problem? Did I miss something? Thanks HR -
WoV stock A-4s Clear tail section
hotrodss replied to hotrodss's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
Ok, everything worked fined before I added the 3rd party a/c skins. So if I replace the tga files from a CLEAN version of WoV, that (should) fix it???? @JonathanRL...thanks for the chuckle UPDATE....tried fixing by adding tga file to 'cockpit' folder (this folder only contains a bitmap image the altitude readout tape), no success, still have clear tail. How about deleting the texturexxx ini for the stock a/c paint scheme (USNGrey1 & USMCGrey1), will that work? -
WoV & WeaponsPack 03Jul06
hotrodss posted a topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
I've reinstalled WoV (again for the umpteenth time) and updated it to 8.30.06 patch level. Also installed Bunyap's WP 03Jul06, the problem: none of Bunyap's weapons show up when I play Rolling Thunder campaign, only standard in-game weapons. All weapons show when I play Single Mission though, can't remember if I forgot to add something else. Any help/suggestions??? Thanks HR p.s. did not add Oct2008b patch because in campaign mode you get stuck bombing Noi Boi airfield over & over. -
WoV & WeaponsPack 03Jul06
hotrodss replied to hotrodss's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
UPDATE...WoV Rolling Thunder Campaign...After a little more investagation, I noticed if I choose to fly for the USMC (VMFA-314 F-4B) their start date is 5 Oct 65, the add-on weapons pack comes into the inventory. If I choose to fly for the USN (VF-96 F-4B) their start date is 10 Mar 65 no add-on weapons pack, so I guess sometime between Mar & Oct 65 is when the add-on weapons come into the ineventory, I just have to survive until then.

WOV Videos In Youtube

***************************************************************** OMG!!! That was AWESOME!!! -
Well as the header says...it was a Saturday night (real world) on a MIGCAP and received a call from Redcrown. " Cobra 11, bandits 12 o'clock, angles 10, 20 miles." So I tell my #2 to drop tanks and I acquire & lock first blip on the radar so he can take the first shot. I give him the command to shot and THEN IT HAPPENS!!!!! I scream NNNOOOOO!!!! Wifey runs into the room yelling at me "What happened", I point to the screen as anger & frustration set in. The computer freezes up and there is this low scratching sound coming from the external HD & it's hot!?!?!? I look and point at it, wifey picks it up, looks at it and utters the words you NEVER want to hear when it comes to computers..."It's DEAD!!!!" I look at her and want to cry. ALL (and I mean ALL!!!) of my many version, add-on, patches, skins, terrains, EVERYTHING concerning Wings over XXXX Series 1 is GONE! So after a week of finally coming to the realization that I must start over, I ask you, the CA Community... Do I start over with Wings over XXXX Series 1 or do I move into the future with Wings over XXXX Series 2??? All opinions & suggestions will be considered. HR

WoV (Oct2008 patch) Series 1
hotrodss posted a topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
Started flying above campaign, attacked Noi Boi airfield to destroy the runway, no problem. I had to go back again (4x's) for the same thing!! I do get a 'Mission Accomplished' from Red Crown everytime I destroy the runway. Can anyone explain why the sim keeps assigning this target? Is it stuck in a loop? Or is there another problem I'm not aware of? HR -
WoV (Oct2008 patch) Series 1
hotrodss replied to hotrodss's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
Thanks WLJet & Baltika... @Baltika, if you're referring to WOV AirGround Expansion Pack by eburger68, I already have all his EP add-ons installed onto a separate install of WOV. I can't play it because my graphics card (NVIDIA 7300LE) is old and can't handle the extra eye candy, trying to get a new one. And yes I NEED to upgrade to SF2 series!!! HR -

Hey Viggen, congrats on future your enlistment to the Air Force! I hope things eventually workout for you. I spent 21yrs in (5ys active duty & 16yrs in the Air National Guard) I retired in Oct 2010, it was the best time of my life, I made great friends & went on some awesome deployments...I still miss being in & wearing the uniform. I was in a Logistics Sqd. (Transportation), I went in "open general" and like Veltro2k said " AF needs", so I was "assigned" to transportation. In JediMaster's reply...I've been in those situations TOO MANY times to count!! Stingray72 is right "keep any open mind". Anyway, I'll keep this short, no matter what job you do remember one thing when you fill out your "dream sheet" for assignments, go overseas!!! You'll love it!!! Have fun. Shawn

OS platforms for SF2 Series
hotrodss posted a topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
Hey folks, quick question, I would like to purchase the SF2 series but I noticed the on the TW website the os platform is Win7/Vista, I thought I noticed at one time the 2nd series also supported XP. Was this ever the case?, or is this series just for Win7/Vista? Thanks HR -

Will Burning Sands 1983 & Vietnam 1984 campaigns work in SFP1 & WoV with the OCT 2008 patch? Thanks -
Replacing stock aircraft
hotrodss posted a topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
Hello, Is it possible to replace stock flyable a/c files with TMF a/c files (or any add-on a/c from C5 or 3rd party) to fly in both campaign and single mission? I know about "adding a/c's to a campaign sticky (thanks, MigBuster). I'm talking about just deleting the a/c file (say stock F-105D) and replace the whole file with the F-105D-25 or -31 file. I tried to install a couple of skins for the stock F-105D (Cherry girl by Armourdave & F-105D 49TFW by a guest) once installed I choose the skins at loadout and both a/c's were white, as in blank. This happened before and I was told it's because the skins were for a specific model i.e. the -31 or TMF version. There seems to be more skins for TMF a/c than stock skins for WoV, especially for the F-105, F-8 & A-6. Currently flying F-8, VF-24, Rolling Thunder. And I know about Wrench's sticky about "adding 3rd party a/c's" in the SFP1 KB. Thanks HR
