A Huge Shout Out and Thanks
ST0RM replied to Dave's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
+1. Thanks Gents! -
Yeah, but if your 02 levels are dropping, then it's a clue as to what is in the blood.

Chatted with the F-22 driver who brough the jet into Dyess a couple of weekends ago. He showed me the O2 sensor he has to wear on his finger/arm in flight. Basically similiar to the one you get in the hospital that tracks the O2 levels in your blood. So, someone is watching this.

While this is old news, with the on-going delays with the F-35 and F-22 issues, the age of our combat aircraft keeps coming up in the media. This really comes down to the DoD not standing firm enough with the budget committees and telling them the opposite of what they want to hear. We CANNOT keep up with the ops tempo with the current fleet of aircraft. Even the recently purchased C-17s are aging at an advanced rate, never thought of before. The C-models are trapped out and the Blue Angels had to give back their A-models and swap with C-models, because their F/A-18As had traps left on the airframes. The best solution right now is to purchase interim Super Hornets to fill the gap and ground the Charlies.

Mi-24 Teaser
ST0RM replied to orsin's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
At the Dyess airshow this past weekend, we had a Mi-24 on static. I spent a bunch of time with the crew and took some time in each seat. Your model, while very nice in shape and detail, it slightly undersized. I'd estimate, about a 1/3 too small. I'll post up some pics later tonight. I've got a few with the crew, including the crew chief in the cargo door. -S -
free filght?
ST0RM replied to FRS1's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
Instead of asking TK to do it, you could do it in 5 minutes by editing one of your own mission within the game. As was said, the Range is perfect for that. The Nellis Range is even better. -
Beautiful photos. Switzerland is such an awesome location for shooting jets. Thanks for sharing! -Jeff

Sidewinder high aspect shot: warhead effectiveness or lack thereof
ST0RM replied to Do335's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
Same issue with the AIM-9B. Shot 3 at a MiG-17. One failed to guide even with a solid tone, so I realligned to center and shot another. The second guided home, but didn't detonate. It flew past the tail and kept going. The third AIM-9 did the same as the second. Guided true, but didnt detonate. I used the gunpod and finished him off. -
I agree. Why they couldnt add a 2 player split screen option vs. everything online is beyond me. My son and I wanted to play against each other, but won't buy a sep PS3 to do so. EA used to be the name for quality games, but not anymore.

Having seen my share of UAE and Qatari M2Ks, I'm partial to those. Thanks for the work! -
Messing Around with Rolling Thunder
ST0RM replied to Swordsman422's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
This might be stretching, but can you simply add the red waterway to the map where the rivers are. They will be very narrow and you'd have to figure out how to only allow sampans. EDIT--actually by limting the VC to only having sampans, the problem should be nada. -
Custom cockpit
ST0RM replied to Intruder7011's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
I don't know how functional you are going, but if you are looking for some detail parts to add, I've got these available: They are the sim panels from a F-16 egress trainer. I bought them back when I was going to rebuild my own pit. Never got around to it and they are just sitting on the shelf. 2 MFDs, 1 Up Front Unit, 1 CMDS panel, 2 artificial horizons, 1 engine nozzle posit gauge and 1 fuel gauge. PM if interested. -Jeff -
E-2C mods question for you all...
ST0RM replied to Wrench's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
Yep, my mistake. Not GPS, but SATCOM. They call it the "Fez" because of the shape. -

Hawkeye 2000 GPS dome. Not supposed to be on the 1980's era E-2. -
$30 for $800 service? She better have done ALOT for $800. I'm talking like cleaned the Prez's limo, made the beds, stocked the fridge with beer... In addition to the obvious

Trying to limit Modex values with skins
ST0RM replied to HomeFries's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
Thanks. I'll try your way tonight. I did something similiar, but can already see why it didn't work, from your example. -
Trying to limit Modex values with skins
ST0RM replied to HomeFries's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
I was trying to restrict certain squadrons/skins to either the 300 series or 400 series (per the CVW)), but the game wouldnt let me. No matter that I listed only 400 modexes in the NumberList, it would still default to using the 300. Sounds like an arduous task. Good luck -Jeff -
Trying to limit Modex values with skins
ST0RM replied to HomeFries's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
Try this pack: http://combatace.com/files/file/3922-drd-usn-modex-v01-09-2007zip/ It's a pack full of modex numbers from drdoyo. Already made, you may just have to color to match what you need. Dave pointed this out to me when I was having the same issues with my A-7E Eagle Claw skins. -Jeff -
As as side note, on the 25th of April, the first C-17 (T-1) will arrive at WPAFB to be entered into the museum. So have your cameras ready then too!

Refuelling planes and countermesure pods?
ST0RM replied to Stratos's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
It is, but you have to edit the Loadout.ini and in game, it will show as "empty" but with black dots on the stations. Or you can edit the data.ini file for the Crusader and make each wep station it's own number and load each station manually.
