WOI - War for the Water Campaign Problem
Dave replied to wagsled's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
Have you deleted any previous campaigns, reinstalled them and tried them? If you are playing a campaign the patch they usually messes up any saved ones. -
Crusaders? (Planes and Skins)
Dave replied to Dave's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
Oh its just a decal and makrings job. I used C5's skins as the base like have been. Why re invent the wheel when his work on the Sader is a cut above. -

What prgram are you using? To make a checkerboard pattern I use a square brush. Set it to the size youthink its right. Put it on a 256x256 background. Then copy the 2 squares over and over and over (as layers) until you get a "wall" of what you want. After you merge all those layers together, add it to the area you want. The using the magic wand cut it to dimensions you desire. Does any of this make sense? -

Have to check Ginter my books. I know I got it in there. I did a VMF-112 skin myself for the B. Haven't uploaded it though. Did a VF-32 skin for B too. Don't obsess too much Gocad or you are going to ruin the fun of it for yourself. They look damn good. -
Ejection Sequence?
Dave replied to grant977's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
And I have said it once and I will say it again, you would watch it about 1 or 2 times, go UHHH, AHHH and you would never do it again. Because a true combat simmer would more worried about how the combat of the sim plays out then a bunch of eye candy to see someone ejects. Priorites man, priorties....and a eject sequence is not one of them. I am not a MP guy but I would rather have that improved than an eject sequence. It would more that just an ini edit or we would of have done it already ourselves. -

Operation: REFORGER II Update 4/12
Dave replied to a topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mission/Campaign Building Discussion
The F-22 wasnt even operational in 1998. It still in testing. (in fact it was having big issues in 1998) I would bump up the year up on your campaign. It wil make your life a hell of alot easier. 2005 would be perfect as you get more realistic operational dates of these aircraft. 1998 would be good to a precursor to the Bosinian campaign for example. There you get the last oprational use of F-8's and F-104S's. -
Dont you have a copy of the original download of WOI? Just install a new copy of that, patch it then add mods. I mean you downloaded it, after you paid for it, so you have a copy to keep forever. (unless you deleted it after installing, in that case you screwed youself.)

Put it back in the folder you extracted it from. You don't repack anything. -

Easy there killer, I may not be happy with the USAF, but its still my branch of service. 230 years of service means very little to me in the grand scheme of things of getting the mission done.

Very Weird WOI Patch Problem
Dave replied to WombRaider's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion

That is why after 16 1/2 years in the USAF I am calling it quits. The USAF used to take care of its people, now it don't give a damn and Mosehead is 90% the problem. I am hoping the USAFR is much better. My wife just got back from a SNCO conference in San Antonio, the CSM made them sign a family contract basically saying that family is the priority. If the family isn't ready for the solider to deploy, then the soldier isn't ready to deploy. He stated that if you aren't doing your best to make sure your family is taken care, or your chain of command isn't helping you, or if you are a joint spouse couple ( like my wife and I are) and the Army isn't helping, then he wants to know. He needs focused soldiers and family is where it starts. Whether it be the right assignment, getting military couples stationed together, or a chain of command being there for the deployed soldiers family. See the USAF doesn't have that, they think just throwing around a few slogans and sayings about family make it all better. It gives everyone the illusion that they are doing something. But the reaility is that if you can't do for the USAF, then they will get rid of you. Thus why I am in the boat I am in now. For 2 1/2 I had been trying to get a stationed with my wife and kids. 2 1/2 freakin' years. In January the SMSgt down at AFPC told my OIC and my Command Chief that there was nothing he could do (total BS though as there was a slot opened in Dec 07 for my rank and skill level, I knew the guy who left it) and that I needed to pursue other avenues. So I joined the USAFR. (report to my new unit Jun 7th) The day I got my reserve posting, that asshole SMSgt calls up and says, "Hey bud I got you your assignment you wanted." I was like WTF? You told my entire chain of command that there was no way in hell it was going to happen and that I need to pursue other avenues. He had the unmitigated gall to say, "I have been working on this for you, for a year now." That is when I lost it. I said to him that he was not telling the truth and that he had not been working on crap for a year and I was privy to the conversation he had with my chain of command. Well he started tap dancing and I have contacted my Congressman to put a complaint against him. I have an email paper trail a mile long and when I am done, he will be reprimanded and retired, that is straight from my Congressman himself. My point, the USAF is a hollow shell of what it used to be. There is no leaders like Fogleman or Olds anymore, there are whiz kids and number crunchers in the center seat now. We downsize 40,000 in the middle of a war. We can't get parts, we can't get enough people to do maintenance, because we are so short handed. They rob Peter to pay Paul. They are back to back to back deploying people. At least the Army is giving you a good break in between. The USAF isn't. They are "wavering" people to get them back in country. By waivering is that, you are home for a month, month and a half then back to Iraq and Afghanistan. I am sorry if I sound bitter but I am. I was born on a USAF base, I have lived, eat, breathed and s**t USAF my entire life. I have 4 different career fields in the USAF. All I know is USAF and it had to come down to this. Damn shame if you ask me. On the good note though, I will be with my family again in about a month. For good. Military is temporary, family is forever.
