So, Dave, is that a J-Stars in your sig?
Dave replied to Spectre_USA's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
It won't crash the site. It will be made available here in 150MB to 200MB smaller files. The site will be fine. -
I would like to introduce Colon Blow 5.0 (formally known as Column5). Please refrain from asking him what happen to Colon Blow 1.0 to 4.0. It involved two outhouses, 500 rolls of toilet paper and Preparations A thru G. Also Flubbar512 (Formally known as Fubar512) More powerful than plutonium 239 but not quiet as dangerous as the Illudium PU-36 Explosive Space Modulator. As we all know is needed to blow up the Earth as it block our view of Venus. Caution do not serve beans.

Veltro for the record I have ZERO 3D skills so that is why I can't help you. bpao FastCargo Julhelm Crab_02 ravenclaw klavs81 Jimmybib (knows how to map) are a few people who have the knowledge you seek. I would ping them in a pm. All I can say and I mean this, keep up the good work though. -
Bad To The Bone...
Dave replied to Dave's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
Thus the "golden BB". That was a lucky shot, considering he just fired at a noise he thought he heard. Goes right back to Murphy's law. Good point Dels, TSgt Steve Menzik, a guy I was an MTL with at Sheppard AFB and a C-130 flying Crew Chief would tell us stories of Vipers and F-5's (thats dates him and we used to give him crap over it too) on the deck, trying to get at a his Herc at 200ft off the deck (while yanking and banking). He said they came out better in most of engagements because he said the aggressor pilots just couldn't stomach the low altitude and the craziness of the Herc pilots. He did mention, that low flying was puke city for everyone. -
How many of you think the missions in the 3rd Wire campaigns are the same thing over and over again? I used to think so but the more I think about it, the more I think they are right on the money. Real world military pilots please chime in on my deductions. Here are my examples; Example #1: Recon Pilot. Your job is to fly over a target and take pictures. That’s it. The only thing I see to spice it up (so to speak) is whether it’s a milk run, or you are going into a hornets’ nest of air defenses. (of course aircraft maintenance issues, weather etc do come into play) but the bottom line if you are on a 25 to 50 mission rotation, you are pretty much going to be a picture taker. i.e. same job. Make sense? Example #2: Strike/Bomber Pilot Your job is to move mud. That is your sole function in life is to put bombs on target. No air to air missions, you only go there in self defense, F-105 pilots are the prime examples of it. Again, mission target and how well it’s defended makes the difference on whether it’s just another day at the office. Bottom line, you are carrying bombs to drop, every mission, sometimes on the same target more than once. Example #3: Fighter Pilot (In the pure sense) Your job is to provide top cover for a strike, bait the enemy into some air to air combat, or keep an area of airspace “bad guy” free. No mud moving thrown in at all. Your job is to shoot the enemy out of the sky. Here is where it is interesting; of the 3 this one has to be the most repetitive. Some pilots go mission after mission and never see an enemy plane. I read somewhere once where some pilots when entire tours and never saw a Mig in Vietnam. Where does a mission get spiced up? When they start shooting SAM’s and AAA at you, then I promise you that will keep you on your toes. Ok my point, almost every fighter, recon, strike/bomber pilot I have ever talked to has said that they spent more time boring holes in the sky than anything else. Yes they flew combat missions, but some of which nothing happened to really write home about. How does relate to the 3rd Wire series? Well I added the RF-101C to an Israeli campaign to be their eyes, and 10 missions into it, it's been the same thing…more or less. 5 so far have been nose bleeders and the other 5, BORING. So this is some food for thought when you are looking for reality in a campaign. There are of course exceptions to every rule but this is more in general terms.
