The Official Sept/Oct Patch Thread
ST0RM replied to Murphy'S's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
You guys should patch a clean install. Otherwise you're more than likely going to lose some things. Storm -
Congrats! I just got home from this latest deployment and will take mine in a week or so. Then the DOV job is mine ;) Storm

Just great. Another person next to me that can b*tch at me when my driving isnt good enough ;) Seriously, looks great. Storm -
KC-135
ST0RM replied to Veltro2k's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mods/Skinning Discussion
Each active-duty/AFRes wing has a few MPRS (Multi-Point Refueling System) jets assigned to them. The ANG do not. The pods dont come off unless they are removed for maintenance reasons. Here is a good picture I found on the net of it in action. "An Air Force KC-135 Stratotanker from the 340th Expeditionary Air Refueling Squadron refuels a Royal Air Force GR-4 Tornado over Iraq Feb. 25 using the multipoint refueling system. With MPRS, Air Force tankers have the versatility to refuel Air Force, Navy and coalition aircraft all in the same mission. (Royal Air Force photo)" Photo here: http://www.strategypage.com/military_photo...0734151846.aspx According to my logbook, I was actually flying this jet when this pic was taken back on the 25th of Feb. Cool huh? Jeff P.S. I've got a ton of detail shots of the MPRS if needed -

Ahh, theres my girl. She brought me home again yesterday from the desert. Will be nice to have her in the sim finally. Storm -
Externally, the main difference are in the number of lumps/bumps that are on the vertical tail. The A-model only had two, while the C had three. A-model tail: C-model tail: The bumps on the back of the spine were added to all Legacy Hornets: Jeff

A-10A Version 3.0
ST0RM replied to Dave's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - File Announcements
The LITENING pod is in MF's other weapons pack. If you got it installed in WOE, just copy it over and add the text to the weapons.ini, etc... Here is a LANTIRN pod: http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?autoc...p;showfile=5717 And here is the wep packs: http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?autoc...amp;showcat=340 Storm -
Flew a 1957 KC-135 today and this was the hot topic during the flight. Pisses us off to no end that this hasnt been resolved yet. Our take is that they dont care until jets start falling from the sky. Storm

Just landed from a sortie over Iraq myself. We flew 40 flags in rememberance. Stay safe! Might be over your way in the next day or two. Storm

Any tutorials on FM tweaking?
ST0RM posted a topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
Does anyone have a decent tutorial on editing the aircraft's FM? I'd like to give the Herk some help since it's a fairly simple aircraft and I've got several hours in it, to use as a comparison. I'd like to kill some of it's tendency to lift off at 90kts and keep climbing, even in level flight. It needs some love. Thanks! Jeff -
Opinions Please

A-10A Version 3.0
ST0RM replied to Dave's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - File Announcements
A fix for problem #2 is to add the Litening Pod to your weapons file and then add the LP to the A-10's data.ini file on the pylon you want it to be carried. About 5 minutes of work and you are set. I've already done it to create a bastardized A-10C, minus the cockpit. Storm -
This brings up a question I've got. Can an anchor point be used by an aircraft? Specifically can a mission be created where the tanker orbits in a race track continuously and is in line with your waypoints? I've seen some of the sample A/R missions, but these stretch out prety far. Our legs are roughly 30-40 miles long and 20 miles wide if using a racetrack style of orbit. Enroute rendezvous are also used where we just fly a long track. As far as realism goes, long missions are a must, with A/R somewhere in between. I would like to see more of them. Storm

I'll be stopping through on my way home from this deployment in a few weeks. Hopefully the weather is decent and I have some daylight left to visit the Lakenheath or Coningsby approaches for a few photos. That's my idea of relaxation after this trip. Storm

VICTORY is upon us!
ST0RM replied to drdoyo's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mods/Skinning Discussion
Looks great. I hated that they lost the dk grey tails after their deployment. I was glad that I got to refuel them prior to the repaint. -Storm -

Mirage 2000D
ST0RM replied to Florian's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - File Announcements
In between modding the GR.4, I've been taking some time with the M2000D. I love it. I did edit the DATA and LOADOUT inis a bit to allow it to carry the BRU-57 twin bomb rack on the center pylon. Now it carries twin GBU-12E as I saw them a few days ago over OEF. Great job! Jeff
