Updating Older Planes to SF2 Standards
Dave replied to Dave's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
Each team will be responsible for beta testing the work they converted. The reason behind that is A. Everyone wants to be a beta tester B. Its easier to make on the spot corrections. C. Keep the process streamlined. If we get say 5 teams, it doens't take long to convert a plane and its weps to SF2 standards. I did the GR.7. in 45 mins to an hour. -
The plunge - have you taken it ?
Dave replied to Syrinx's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
Its been considered but who is going to do it? Even more important how about the quality control of those mods? Some of us have started it already with the F-111's being a good example along with the F-4E ARN and the F-4G. I know the F-15E will be updated, All I am waiting for is the pit. Yes it will have it own pit. From there I will ask FC to make the subtle changes to the I, K and S models as well. -

A good example will be the T-38's FC has done. They wont be backward compatible. -

Yes that is a huge one I forgot. Another thing I like is the userlist thing. It nice to have a combines install with say Vietnam and Europe but will not run into NVAF Migs over Germany. -

My justifications. A: Its only 20 bux. B: Its easier to mod because of the file structure. Example Weapons being drag and drop, almost do not need the wep editor. C. Better avionics D. Better looking pits. E. Lots of other little nit noid stuff too. For those of you who just can't seem to wrap your head with the new file structure, take a look at these pics. Look familiar? Yep that is the saved game folder that vista uses. The only thing that goes in there is mods. In the 2nd pic you see the install structure that the sim uses. The only thing you need to do with that is well.....nothing. Even when you patch it, its patches that area, it doesn't even touch your mods. If you need something from a cat file then you get it from there. But other than that, you have no reason to really go in there. -

Well it will soon get to the point where mods will not be backwards compatible with the old series. The folder structure is easy as pie. -

Yep that is it, high G barrel roll. If you can perfect that move and no Mig can touch you and you will be wasting them. Thanks coolpilot for baling me out. -

Hmm the thing is the file is a exe. So you dont need to use a zip program to install it. -
Mirage tactics
Dave replied to zmatt's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
That zmatt you are going to have to just learn. I still do it once in awhile, but its just a gut thing. How can I explain this? When I am on a bandits tails I am on the speed brake and throttle constantly. You just gauge his speed and react accordingly. I know this doesn't help at all. If I could remember that tactics name the IAF used I could also explain it better. -

I am running the SF2 series on a Vista 64 and it runs like a raped ape on my lap top. -

Find the dogfights episode about the IAF. They talked about some tactic they used to great effect. It was close to a yo-yo type thing. If you can find that episode it does work. -

I dumped all but WOI but when SF2:I comes out I will dump it too. SF2 series is vastly superior to the old series in every way, (avionics is the big thing). Those of you who don't get on the band wagon and move to SF2 series will be left behind. I am not making anymore mods for the legacy series. -

You mean Vapor Ops crew? -
You all have your own download section now. (only took 6 1/2 hours to do it. ) Do me favor look through it and tell me if I got files into the right areas. If I put something in the wrong area let me where it goes and I will fix.

Hey Tristan try again. I just downloaded it and ran the exe with no problems. Maybe you got an incomplete down load?
