Ordway's Mig Cockpit for SPF2
Wrench replied to paulopanz's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mods/Skinning Discussion
Actually, this should read: ValueUnit=KM as Russian/Soviet Union uses the metric system. also, you can metricize the insturments (which I did a looooong time ago, and perhaps even posted in the release threads...) in the aircraft data ini, in the ]AircraftData[ section, add this line (if it ain't already got it): UseMetricUnit=TRUE in the cockpit ini, anything that says FEET change to METERS; the VVI instead of FPS gets changed to MPS you on your own for fuel gauges -- never have figure that out right (lbs to kg; neve worked right, has to be based on total fuel in the aircraft's on board tanks) wrench kevin stein -
Getting something other than Cargo Ships, and Tankers
Wrench replied to warthog64's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
Perhaps because the other addon ships are classed as WARSHIP, maybe??? and therefor, not available for anti-shipping missions; which uses only those classed as "CARGO_SHIP" A quick check of the data inis will always confirm "GroundObjectRole=" wrench kevin stein -

Building new airbases
Wrench replied to ST0RM's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mods/Skinning Discussion
do you have gepard's WoE base pak (somewhere in the d/l section) real life setups for some east german bases. All you'll need to know is how to edit the targets and types ini (which you already do, methinks ), then just finding the x/y coordinates to place them. oh, the TE, terrains cities list etc, to 'flatten' them, if jplaced somewere other than at an existing site. wrench kevin stein -

A civil mod for TK's sims
Wrench replied to Gepard's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
ya know, that IS kinda cool!!! great idea on the fires, and how to 'extinguish' them. Gabrielle, you fly those, don't you??? Other terrains could be used, by simply removing the listing for AAA and SAMs in the targets ini wrench kevin stein -
Modding WOE to WWII
Wrench replied to VFC_Baxter's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
Yes, WoE works reallly well (as my 4 ww2 installs will attest). In fact, I like it better than SF for WW2 usage. Now, if you have WoV....you should move the vietnamsea terrain folder over, as a lot of the SoWesPac terrains need the tiles from there. What you do, is intall the game. Clean. Then, go an get the Oct 06 patch, and run it. One way to check what level you're running; don't remember if this was available in the 'clean' game or not, but down on the lower right corner of the main screen used to have a version or date stamp. Would say something like 08.??.06 (can't remember the day numbers) The DAT birds work just fine in WoE. Don't forge to get Wolf's WW2 planes pak, pasko's F4F Wildcat...and other i'm surely forgetting There's boatloads of maps, ground objects, ships (most of the ships you'll find at the DAT site) - vehicle at Geo's site. wrench kevin stein ps: !!! one more added. that brings us up to 17 WW2 players! take that starfighter2!!! -

Edit to reduce number of SAMs in WOV?...
Wrench replied to Rampstrike's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
Hell, even on my monster XPS, 80 gazallion SAMs brings me to single digits! Whatever works, man!! if you really want to get into the editing the targets ini, extract it from the vietnamsea.cat, and search for SAMLauncher. You can reduce their numbers by changing every other one into another object == I'd suggest 'oildrum9' , or maybe a parked truck --SovietTruck is the TargetType= name, or something innocius (sp?) You may, however, get tasked to strike missions against the truck wrench kevin stein -
Edit to reduce number of SAMs in WOV?...
Wrench replied to Rampstrike's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
Have you tried adjusting the EnemyAirDefense level on the menu screens? You should be able to select LIGHT, NORMAL or HEAVY. to do anything else, requires editing the terrain's targets ini. wrench kevin stein -

In Full Afterburner,Engine sounds quiet?
Wrench replied to a topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
..reread the statement again.... It's called 'moving faster than your sound footprint'. Listen, in game, to what happens when you drop below mach 1 .. the sounds come back, don't they??? This is a feature (not a bug) added post patch. I'm sure our real pilots, with multi-mach experience will chime in here with what happens wrench kevin stein -

SAAF colours during WWII
Wrench replied to LloydNB's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mods/Skinning Discussion
for the battle's wing bays, you could actually mount the bombs inside the wing. When I did the B-49G, and used mk82s, they're longer then the bomb bay, so part of them 'falls' through the wing structure. but then, there's the clipping issue of possibly having them stick out the top of the wing! wrench kevin stein -

I Can't Decide on Upgrading to 2008 Patch
Wrench replied to TheStig's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
What FC said. It all goes to the questions of "what do you want from the game?" and "how much HD space do you have". For a while, I had a total of 21 installs of 3W games. Down to 17 now, well, 18 with the new indo-pak mod. There's really nothing to it! wrench kevin stein -

That's a cool book!!! Is that the one with the A.Conan Doyle story about the "jungles of the air?" This bird (bat? fish?) would be very well placed in a 'prop cold war' scenario , 47-55 time frame wrench kevin stein -

Can't load a mission
Wrench replied to thebeast0449's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mods/Skinning Discussion
First off, I think we need to know exactly WHAT you're trying to do... In particular, WHICH theatre are you trying to replicate...ETO? PTO? MTO? CBI??? Each one would have their own theatre specific plane, ship, vehicle, AAA, and etc object sets. Make no mistake about that -- each theatre is VERY object specific. I'm assuming you've read "Era Specific Install Creation Tutorial" in the KB? http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?showtopic=19630 that'll give you the basics. As to add on missions, you'll have to learn how to use the 2 or 3 mission creation editors around here....that I can't help with. Missions themsleves, go into the /Mission folder. To fly them: from the main screen, "fly single mission", and you'll 2 tabs on the next screen, whre you select your aircraft, map, time of day, type of mission, etc, you'll see another tab that says "Load Mission" that's how you access the addon. You HAVE read the maunal that comes with the game right??? All that is answered there. wrench kevin stein -

Moved to the correct forum Remember .... the KB is for ANSWERS only ... not for questions; they go here, in the regular forums. So Please don't post in the KB!!! thank you -------------------------------------------------------- I wasn't aware we had any WW2 single missions to download. Can you be a little more specific??? Please. EDIT: ok, I just went and looked there's Scrapper's sets 'Fallen Angels' You know those are ETO only, right?? Which means you need the ETO map... http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?autoc...p;showfile=6930 wrench kevin stein
