Aggressor mission
ST0RM replied to russouk2004's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mission/Campaign Building Discussion
The Range only has one blue airfield. You would have go a similiar route as when the Firebee drones were used. Have the Red Force already in the air. -
Yep. You've pretty much hit the nail directly on the head. Too bad the rest of America can't see the same thing.

I just sent it out to my guys in the squadron. We'll see if we're RAF material and maybe even request to cross over. I like tea.

TYPHOONS DEPART FOR THE FALKLANDS
ST0RM replied to SUICIDAL's topic in Military and General Aviation
Nice photos. Gorgeous weather in the UK as of late. Unlike Kansas :( Well, the torch has been passed to the Typhoon. Hope the Maltese Cross is reapplied. Nice to see a bit of unit pride on aircraft. -S -
Campaign aircraft upgrades
ST0RM replied to ST0RM's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mission/Campaign Building Discussion
Ok, so I went back and added a 0 to the single day dates and re-ran the campaign, again with VA-113 in the A-4C. At the prescibed date in the CAMPAIGNV1_DATA.INI the upgrade to the A-4C_65 never happened. So I'd say this qualifies as a campaign bug. I'd like to hear from other people flying the campaign to see their results before I post it at Thirdwire. Thanks, -S -
We had 4 crews out to Nellis for this Red Flag. One crew was on approach behind the Wacker when this happened. Apparently, the E-3 bounced on landing and the pilot forced the nose back down, landing on the nose gear first which obviously failed, and the rest of the jet came down. The force was so hard, they also pushed the main gear through the wings. There no injuries from the incident until the investigation. One of the crewmembers was in the safety office for their statement/report and a heavy wooden sign fell down and hit her on the head, knocking her down. I'm trying to find a high-res copy of this photo. We want to make it a motivational poster for our squadron bar. -S

So far, I'm pretty impressed. I made it through the training and unlocked the features. I bought it along with a used set of flight stick/throttle (from Ace Combat 6). It works well together and I think it will take a few more flights to get the hang of it. It feels much different than on the comp. Anyhow, just wanted to share and see if anyone else has been playing it. -S

Stary's Effects pack #3
ST0RM posted a topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mods/Skinning Discussion
I tried PMing Stary, but he hasn't replied. After installing this effect pack, my burners have stopped working. Really, what I was after were the new flare effects. Does anyone have a good handle on the files needed for just the flares and smoke? I was using the PARTICLESYSTEM.INI in my Flight folder plus the following in my Effects folder: COUNTERMEASUREEFFECT.INI FLARE.TGA FLAREFLASH.TGA FLAREGLOW.TGA FLARESMOKE.TGA EE3_FLAREFLASH.TGA The flare glow and effect looked very real, but my smoke ended up looking like this: Any help? Thanks -S -
Stary's Effects pack #3
ST0RM replied to ST0RM's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mods/Skinning Discussion
Got the update pack, but it's still not working correctly. It still kills off the burners. I've narrowed it down the PARTICLESYSTEM.INI file. It lists AFTERBURNEREMITTER and AFTERBURNEREMITTER2 only. So I removed it for a test and sure enough, my afterburner flame came back. As for my flare issue, I added all of the files with smoke in the name and I've got the excellent flares and good smoke. The flare effect must use bits from others, that weren't listed in the INI. Or I could have missed them. So, now I'll go back and see if adding AFTERBURNEREMITTER3 and it's entry into the PARTICLESYSTEM.INI will give me all of the burner effects. -
I love Kimber weapons. Their pistols are my favorite. They are well made and easy to shoot with accuracy. Enjoy your new toy.

No nuke effect

The Enhanced Explosion #3 pack from CA_Stary has the nuke effects. -S -
Directsound.dll error
ST0RM posted a topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
Was testing some new effects using the new F-111A in SF2V and when I ESC out of the game, it CTDs with the following error: AppName: strikefighters2 vietnam.exe AppVer: 2.0.1.5 ModName: directsound.dll ModVer: 0.0.0.0 Offset: 000026b7 Could it be a driver issue? It only happens to the 'Vark though. Thanks in advance. -S -
Directsound.dll error
ST0RM replied to ST0RM's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
Yep, seems the USN sounds the Vark pack came with were the cause. I found a TF30 sound on the net and replaced it along with the others. Thanks again. -

ST0RM replied to ST0RM's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
Hmmm? Ok, I'll got through and removed all of the sounds associated with the Vark and see what happens. Thanks for the quick response Fubar. -Jeff -

Thanks ShrikeHawk. The first version was good. These look even better. D/Ling now. -S -
I'm doing something similiar. I'm trying to sell off some of my unbuilt models to pay for a camera and lens upgrade. -S

SF2I screens up on facebook
ST0RM replied to eraser_tr's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
The more, the merrier. As long as the service dates are correct, they EAF Phantoms won't show in early battles. Of note also, the HILL scheme wasn't worn until late in their career. They wore the SEA for quite some time after delivery. ACIG Photos: -S -

Awesome video Fubar. Love the RWR sounds. Where did you get them and are they available? -S -
Yep, the first one delivered to the Qatari Air Force, arrived on Aug 16th. My last day at Al Udeid. And I did get pics of it. It's standard grey unlike the one above which will be for the Emir(s). NATO got their first also.

Grandfather's Pilot Log - North Africa 1942-43
ST0RM replied to Thog10's topic in Military and General Aviation
What an awesome treasure. So much to find out and study. Here's a web page that you may find interesting: 52d FG -S P.S. The 1-ME-109 entry on the Recon mission, may be that his flight spotted one.
