MV-22 Osprey proficiency?
ST0RM replied to Zurawski's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
Is there an existing CV in the default WOE terrain? If so, where? Maybe a training mission with the Osprey could be built using it, since it's a huge deck. Or replace it with the assualt carrier for more realism. Storm -
3000hrs in a fast jet is a great accomplishment! Congrats. Where are you doing your IP time at? Storm

Taking a back seat?
ST0RM replied to FastCargo's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mods/Skinning Discussion
I think that you should stick with the front cockpit. My opinion is that the limited view from the back will put the average player off. Nice idea if it was more of a missionized cockpit, like on the F-15E or F/A-18F. Storm -
Nice. I stand corrected on the lights. Thanks for posting. Zerocinco, cool pic of you in the Phantom. Wish I would get my chance to get refuel one someday. I hope that my comments werent taken as being snotty. Just trying to give some help from our end. Storm

No, I mean OEF/OIF like the rest of the force. Its operational, lets start using it. Storm

That makes for some great reading. Makes me glad that I chose a different path. Storm

VMFA-531 Mission Pack I (13-17 April 1965) for WOV
ST0RM replied to comrpnt's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - File Announcements
Uploaded everything into a seperate install of WoV last night. I tried to first mission, but after a bit of flying, the game CTD'd. The installation of the components isnt that clear as to shich require text being placed into the GroundObject.ini file (i.e; the ships). I'll go back through tonight or this weekend and see what I can find wrong. For the 5 minutes that I did get, I enjoyed taking off with other AI jets. Thanks! Storm -
And one day, the Raptors will actually be used on a real mission instead of exercises and deployments to Japan to collect per diem. Storm

I dont have YAP's KC-135, but I'm sure it's missing the Pilot Direction Indicator lights that I use to coach the receiver into position. The PDIs give fore and aft, up and down signals tell the receiver where they are in the refueling envelope. Prior to contact, I control them using my left hand, and the system takes over once contact is made and gives corrections based on set parameters in relation to where the boom/receiver aircraft is. Once you get used to flying behind the tanker, you'll eventually establish a sight picture of what the contact position looks like and you'll use that to stay "hooked up". Good luck and try not to kill the tanker ;) They cant call Breakaway. Storm P.S. Zerocinco, the flight lead will come straight to Pre-contact now, while the rest of the flight will move to the left wing observation position. If it's larger than a 4-ship, I spread them out on both wings and cycle them on, one at a time, left, right, left and so on.

India bans Su-30MKI fighters from using radars during 'Red Flag Nellis' exercise
ST0RM replied to ghostrider883's topic in Military and General Aviation
Why bother to attend the exercise then? As was said, it's not like we dont already have data on it. The Russians are behind this, in that they dont want it used around NATO forces. Will be cool to see Flankers here though, but what a waste if they arent learning/teaching anything. The Raptors are going to smoke them. Storm -
10 new airbases for SFP1/WOE
ST0RM replied to Gepard's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - File Announcements
Is there any way I could get that as well? I've been holding off in fear of screwing one up. Thanks! Jeff -
Dragon's Jaw 2nd Try
ST0RM replied to bigstone's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - File Announcements
On the 6th of October, 1972 A-7 Corsairs from VFA-82 "Marauders" hit and dropped the Thanh Hoa bridge using Walleye IIs and Mk.84 bombs. They were assigned to CVW-8 at the time, and they put up an Alpha strike as a diversion. This could make for an interesting mission with all of the aircraft involved. Storm -
New strike fighter 2 in 2008 ?
ST0RM replied to DamonSchumi's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
A very true statement. I'd still love to see the parabrakes implemented into the aircraft that used them. This was promised way back when, but always seemed to be left out. I dont know what TK reads or uses for ideas, but he has alot of resources to use right here on these boards. So many of the modders have cracked things that have added a ton more playability to this series, than has been given in the patches. Sure they've fixed things that were hard broke, but the tinkering/tweaking was already being done by the players themselves. If he capitalized on that, he could save some time for other things to implement or fix from SF:P1 ver.1 Personally, a new Wings over Israel title doesnt sound all that great if all it turns out to be is a rehash of the SF:P1/WoV/WoE missions with a new planeset. How many times can I bomb a warehouse or fuel tanks? Thanks to a bunch of modders, we've already got it now. Let's hope I'm wrong and this new release is a completely new product (save for the game engine). But hey, what do I know? Storm -
Zeewolf demo flight
ST0RM replied to Julhelm's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Sci-Fi/Anime/What If Forum
Looks like a cool helo. Are the blades supposed to turn that slow? Storm -
Try here. The F-15A-D fleet is painted in the Mod-Eagle scheme. http://www.jpsmodell.de/dc/draw/f15mod.jpg Storm

Mirage Factory Crusader
ST0RM replied to NeverEnough's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
I've been toying with the idea to include the French F-8E(FN) to a Euro campaign. I'll hold off until this is out. Cool news. Thanks! Storm -
SFP1E_10.exe failure
ST0RM replied to ndicki's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
Thanks for the tip. I shut down some things that resembled the programs above and it installed fine. Interesting though. Storm -
New strike fighter 2 in 2008 ?
ST0RM replied to DamonSchumi's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
What is nice about it, is the openness of the sim. Most of the tools are out there for the user to modify and add what they want. In fact there is a terrain editor and with a little time and patience, YOU may be able to create a more rugged terrain to your liking and release it. Storm -
SFP1E_10.exe failure
ST0RM replied to ndicki's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
Hmm, I dont have that program at all, so I'm still at square one. Glad yours works though. Storm -
SFP1E_10.exe failure
ST0RM replied to ndicki's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
I have the same problem on my laptop. Posted the problem here, but no replies. Let's see if someone can pinpoint this. Storm UPDATE I just D/L'd it from Checksix and had the same result. I'm wondering if I'm missing an XP update or something as this hasnt happened before on any of my other computers. -
Fictional F-106 skins?
ST0RM posted a topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mods/Skinning Discussion
Being a fan of the Century series, I was curious if any of you talented skinners have done anything for the 'Six? I know that it wore the ADC gray, but what if it went into service elsewhere (Vietnam, Nato/WarPak conflict) and used a different camo (Hill Gray, Euro I, etc...). Here are some ideas: Storm -
Fictional F-106 skins?
ST0RM replied to ST0RM's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mods/Skinning Discussion
The examples above are not mine. I wanted to show you something that may be of use to skinners. Anyone interested in doing some? Sorry for the confusion. Storm -
Here are the HUD pics. Not the best, but you can see the Fishbed in the mid-lower left side with the pipper over it. Storm

A buddy of mine did an exchange tour with JbG-33, flying the Tornado IDS. He's normally a Strike Eagle driver by trade. Anyhow, while down on det he got a guns kill on a MiG-21. To the average guy, this doesnt sound like much, but knowing the Tornado and how labor intesive it is to fly and fight (the wings are manually swept at speeds), this was a big deal. Apparently a first in the GAF Tornado community. He sent me a copy of the HUD photo. Let me see if I can find it. Storm

SFP1E install error?
ST0RM posted a topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
While on leave at my in-laws, I installed WoV on my laptop. Well, I went to install the SFP1 extractor, but it locks up in the final portion where it's supposed to be registering the font?!?! What is this? Anyhow, when I try to use it, it errors and says that it cant open the ObjectData catalog file to extract the ini files. Any ideas? Storm
