uncontrolled bouncing on landing
Nightshade/PR replied to biosurge's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
Okay, I had the same problem crop up again too. What I do now is fly an approach to flare just above stall speed (about 120-130 knots) and let the mains touch 1st, and airbrake it with the nose in the air until about 100 kts, and let the nose down. Then wheelbrakes, and it usually stops without the bounce. Oh yeah, use the speedbrakes in and out to keep the speed fairly constant. Sounds like a lot more work than it is, but in action, it all happens fairly quickly. Hope it works for you. -
Landing Bounces
Nightshade/PR posted a topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
8) I installed the Flagon, and it works fine, but now my planes bounce uncontrollably upon landing. Any ideas on how to fix this? -
Kids wanting to be adults, and the only way they know how is with foul language, and perceived insults. I have no time for mindless idiocy like yours, but if you were TRULY as PATRIOTIC AS YOU CLAIM, you'd get your butt off the couch, go put on a uniform, and get out in the sand with the rest of the men and women who count, rather than whining about how screwed up things are. If you are not willing to do that, at least own up to being the COWARD that you are, and do us ALL a favor, and SHUT UP.

Up to this point, I have read these posts with an eye towards trying to understand all points of view. That all changed today. Now i see the bigotry the rest of the world accuses us of, may actually be justified. As a Black Male, I have never been to prison, and I take offense to the remarks of putting Hussein/Bin Laden in with one of us so they can be filmed while being sodomized. I consider that and the following post uncalled for, and made me ashamed to have to explain to my friend (who is a naturalized citizen) that this is what/how many Americans think, but NOT ALL. I thought this was a place for Flight simmers who loved the games to pass info and help on to each other. I guess I was wrong, and old prejudices die hard. Thanks for reminding me of something I grew up with, and thought we were well on our way of putting to rest.

A-4F SAM Suppression Skyhawk Mod
Nightshade/PR replied to Crab_02's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mods/Skinning Discussion
That is an OUTSTANDING looking A-4. THAT'S the one I wished had shipped ORIGINALLY with the game. Very nice looking indeed. -

MiG-17PFU Missile Interceptor
Nightshade/PR replied to Pasko's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mods/Skinning Discussion
:shock: Came back to fly this today, and now I have 1 missile in the nose, none on the wings, guns that dont work, and no idea of what happened. It worked fine yesterday, and I made no changes. What gives? -
MiG-17PFU Missile Interceptor
Nightshade/PR replied to Pasko's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mods/Skinning Discussion
Get a GOOD LAUGH!!!!!! I'm on this intercept, and i'm out of missiles, so I go to guns , RIGHT??? Imagine my surprise. Rule #1. ALWAYS check your weapons loadout BEFORE TAKEOFF. Of course, I ran like a raped ape at that point. -
Start laughing now... how do I...
Nightshade/PR replied to snapple2993's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
:D Personally, I like either 2000 pounders, or Cluster Bombs on AAA targets. Rockets I use on enemy columns; line em' up, and let fly!! -

A Simple Request
Nightshade/PR posted a topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
:?: As an avid simmer, but lacking the skills to build my own flyable planes (as well as the time), who out there among you talented individuals (or at Third Wire) can build an F-106? Next to the Viggen, it was (to me) the most beautiful plane to ever fly. -
A Simple Request
Nightshade/PR replied to Nightshade/PR's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
8) I saw the -102. But an F-106 is what the F-102 always wanted to be, when it grew up. And besides, I'm partial to the F-106, having worked with them in the 318th FIS, McChord AFB, Washington. -
Help: After Instaling Patch on Voodoo3 System i Get CTD
Nightshade/PR replied to SkateZilla's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
I'm running a VooDoo5 with the patch on a Win98SE system, and CTD's are RARE now, since I got the patch. Even in HL. -
RWR Activation

:?: Okay, I confess to having forgotten, and yes, it's due to Alzheimers!!! Anyway, how DO I turn it on, again? -
What do you like most about SF?
Nightshade/PR replied to snapple2993's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
:D Definitely Armed Recon Missions in ANYTHING. They are HILARIOUS, and I never thought hitting a truck with guns from an F-104 would be so hard. -
Bounce on takeoff crash
Nightshade/PR replied to buz13's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
Must be me, but I find landings smoother to fly now, and unless I goon it on touchdown, no bounces. This is also on Hard Settings. -
Euro tileset and the patch
Nightshade/PR replied to Deuces's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
:shock: Here's one. I'm flying along on an anti-ship mission using the Euro tiles, and about 1/2 way to target, my plane and my wingmans plane canted 45 degrees left, and of the flight 2 guys, 1 was up on 1 wing, and the last guy disappeared. Any control movements made it worse, and then BLAMMO!! There's my icons!!! When I quit laughing, I wrote this post. If I can get it to duplicate, I'll get a screenshot and post it. Anyone else having this one?
