AIM-120
BUFF replied to Tantobot's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
Afaik the game doesn't model this. Irl when fired BVR the the AIM-120 doesn't switch to active homing until later but uses mid-course updates (usually from the firing ac) until it closes to self-homing range. -

http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?showt...ost&p=44422 Flying New (previously non-flyable) Aircraft Previously non-flyable aircraft can be flown as follows. MajorLee has a flyable SU-7B. Say you want to fly the Mig-21Mf, which is in \Strike Fighters\Objects\Aircraft\MiG-21MF Open the *.INI file in that folder. It will look like this: [AircraftData] AircraftFullName=MiG-21MF Fishbed-J AircraftDataFile=MiG-21MF_data.ini LoadoutFile=MiG-21MF_loadout.ini Change it to look like this: [AircraftData] AircraftFullName=MiG-21MF Fishbed-J AircraftDataFile=MiG-21MF_data.ini CockpitDataFile=F-104G_cockpit.ini HangarScreen=MiG-21MF_hangar.bmp LoadoutImage=MiG-21MF_loadout.bmp LoadoutFile=MiG-21MF_loadout.ini The MiG-21MF will use the F-104G cockpit. Now use the hangar.bmp and loadout.bmp files from MajorLee’s flyable Su-7, and rename them MiG-21MF_hangar.bmp and MiG-21MF_loadout.bmp, in the MiG21MF subdirectory. That’s all. The MiG-21MF will now be selectable. -

Oh lord, to answer those in detail would take pages & that's why we have the Knowledge Base. Kreelin's editor is available here & there is a turorial too iirc - if not the tut is on StreakEagle's site yes, you can fly any AI simply by adding a cockpit plus of course there are 3rd party Migs, Sukhois etc.. Yes, I believe that we still have the latest Weap Pack although I would think that it was due an update as other weapons have been made since then - that takes time though & real life has a nasty way of intruding on gaming . You may have to do some ini. editing to do everything that you want so I would also get the File Extractor (available here). Then read the Knowledge Base - after that & once you've had a go if you still have specific problems post the questions. -
Newbie inquires as to latest, and best, patching
BUFF replied to xpublius's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
Must admit that's a new 1 on me too ... First check what versioj you are at - botom rh of the start up screen. Assuming that it has a date earlier than the following first apply SP v05.15.06 & then Patch v08.30.06 -
X-52 Profile with the new SST
BUFF replied to Destructis's topic in Digital Combat Simulator Series General Discussion
if you are using an old profile but the new SD6 they don't work together. -
Well, I had a laugh but the swear filter would go mental if I translated. There have been several Chewin the Fat series on the BBC here but even my friends & I are amazed at some of the things that they got away with - presumably the censors couldn't understand them either!

I must admit that it's been my impression that the reason that MP in the TW sims has never taken off isn't that it was hard to get it working but that the available options (no user created missions etc.) were too limited. Oh & you all know that we have a free TS server here at CA? http://combatace.com/index.php?categoryid=12

It would be very interesting to know what the rules of engagement are as that will have a massive impact on any result.
