BUFF replied to fadastef's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
Afaik no, it is possible to convert from other 3D progs & 3DSMax into the Third Wire format but there is no utility to go the other way. -
FE uses higher poly models etc.. Try turning down the options a little.

Can I rant here?
BUFF replied to tn_prvteye's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
the good news is that USAF supposedly works well on Vista whereas it didn't on XP. Maybe others will be the same. -
Well, there are 20 WWII aircraft involved - if you don't fly WWII it won't be a loss but to some newcomers it will be although existing old hands will have the files.

First Eagles lightened terrain.
BUFF replied to Sopwith_Kennel's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - File Announcements
btw can't you just do essentially the same thing in your video card's control panel? -
We had it but following a spat that has been going on elsewhere between some people the model's author has removed all his files from the public domain. Sad loss to the community due to some childish behaviour on the part of a few.

File Name: SF P1 SP4 File Submitter: BUFF File Submitted: 17 May 2006 File Category: SF Patches This an all-in-one patch - it should bring any version up to the present patch level. ==================================== Strike Fighters: Project 1 Readme File ==================================== --------------------- 1. Service Pack Notes --------------------- Service Pack v05.15.06 brings the game code to the same level as our latest game, Wings Over Europe. After upgrading with this Service Pack, the game will require the latest version of DirectX (9.0c April 2006) to run correctly. Please visit the Microsoft website at http://www.microsoft.com/windows/directx/ to download and install the latest version of DirectX. This Service Pack can be applied to any previous version of Strike Fighters Project 1. However, due to some re-organization of the data, we highly recommend you install this over a clean install of the game - uninstall the game first, manually delete the folder to remove any mods not uninstalled, reinstall the game from original CD, then apply the Service Pack. Some previous mods may not be fully compatible after upgrading with Service Pack. If you find any mods not working, please check with mod-makers to provide you with updated version of their mods. List of changes in this Service Pack include: * Environmental graphics have been improved, with 3d clouds added. * Support for laser-guided bombs and electro-optically guided weapons have been added. * Support for more modern HUD (Heads Up Display) has been added. * Easy Avionics radar has a new and improved look. * Support for display with different aspect ratio, such as widescreen monitors (both 16:9 and 16:10 aspect ratio) and 5:4 aspect ratio common with LCD monitors, has been added. * You can now connect directly using TCP/IP from in-game Network Connection Screen. To connect using TCP/IP, select Multiplayer from the Main Screen, type in the TCP/IP address (in 123.456.789.123 format) in the Address box, then select "Internet TCP/IP" on the Connection Type drop-down menu. * AI air-to-air gunnery has been improved. * AI can now read aircraft-specific AI data from each aircraft_data.ini. * Ground object data have been re-organized, and you no longer need to edit the master GroundObjectList.ini to add or remove ground objects. * All F-4 data files were edited to show pylon adapters, changing the station numbers on outer wings pylons. * F-4J and A-4F (which were available as separate downloadable dd-ons) are now fully included in the game. * And many other minor tweaks, fixes, and improvements have been made.

Multiplayer Notes -------------------- * For information on which ports are required for multiplayer connection, please consult the Microsoft Knowledge Base article "DirectX: Ports Required to Play on a Network", at http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?...b;en-us;q240429 * The network module relies on DirectX/DirectPlay, and you must have the same or higher version of DirectPlay to connect to a host. If you're having problem connecting to a host, check to make sure the latest version of DirectX is installed on your system. Also, please check to make sure your Windows is up to date by checking Windows update page. Different level of Windows service pack may create incompatibile DirectPlay sessions. * Different versions of the game are incompatible in multiplayer play, so please be sure that everyone has upgraded the game to the same version. * Wings Over Vietnam allows you to customize data. For multiplayer sessions, various security checks are implemented to prevent players from playing using data sets that are different from other players. Whenever possible, the host machine automatically transfers the latest data if any discrepancies are found between players' data sets. However, due to the file size, not all data can be transferred by the game. When data files are found to be incompatible, that player is prevented from playing the game until he or she exits and installs the same data as the one used by the host. However, even without the latest data set, that player can still join any session and chat. For Dogfight Mode, incompatible data only affects the player with the different data set; the host can still launch the game normally. The data check is done in the Hangar screen, and the FLY button is simply disabled for the player who has data incompatible with that of the host. For Co-op Mode, the data check is performed in the Co-op Mission player assignment screen. If a player has incompatible data, he or she cannot select flight assignments. This prevents the host from launching the game, since all players must be assigned before the host can launch a cooperative mission. If you are unable to play due to incompatible data sets, chat with the host to see what data he or she has. Try to obtain the same data to make your game compatible. The following section summarizes what data files are checked and transferred by the game, and what must be downloaded and installed before you can play in a multiplayer session: (1) You must have all of the same aircraft that are installed on the host machine. If you are missing any aircraft installed on the host system, you cannot play. Note, however, that you can have additional aircraft installed on your system without experiencing any problems; your custom aircraft simply won't appear in the aircraft selection drop-down menu. (2) Data files can be different, as long as the host and all players have the same aircraft installed. For aircraft already installed on your machine, key aircraft data are checked (such as the flight model and damage model data). If any differences exist, the host automatically transfers data to your system. (3) Both you and the host must have the current terrain data installed. If the terrain currently in use is not installed, or the host or you have different terrain files, you are prevented from playing. Like aircraft, you may have additional, unused terrains installed without any problems. * The host controls all Gameplay options for a multiplayer session. However, you can set your own Graphics, Sound, and Control options. The only exception is the Terrain Mesh Detail option in the Graphics section. In multiplayer mode, this is always set to LOW. * In Co-op missions once the host accepts the players' flight assignments, the session is closed. No other player can join. Private Dogfight session via GameSpy is also closed once it is launched. In contrast, Public Dogfight mode always remains open, and players may join games in progress at any time. ------------------ 3. Troubleshooting ------------------ Troubleshooting Tips Before installing the game, please try the following: - Close all other applications. - Verify that your system meets the minimum system requirements. If you are experiencing difficulties in getting the game to run, please try the following solutions: - Obtain the latest drivers for your video and sound card. - Obtain the latest version of Direct X from: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/directx - Install the latest service pack for your game from: http://www.thirdwire.com/support.htm - Run scandisk and defragment your drive. ------------------------------ 4.
