Help adding A/C to campaigns
TurtleHawk replied to marvinblue's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
Ok. Don't mind swapping the A-10, for an F-15E, but I get your point. You lost me after the first sentence. I think for now I have to take small steps, and just swapping a unit is making my head spin. Wouldn't your suggestion also require renumbering the subsequent units? And thanks for the other tips. I chose the F-15E, because I think the start dates, weapon-entries should be ok without editing. Mission chances definitely need edits. Now that I think about it, was the "E" on-line in 1983? Hmm... Can you point me to a weapons list for the F-15E. I have the latest weapons pack, is it in there somewhere? -
Help adding A/C to campaigns
TurtleHawk replied to marvinblue's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
Thanks for the reply, Sparky. I don't want to hijack the thread, but I'm doing this a/c change in SF Burning Sands '83. If I'm following correctly, the simplest thing to do is REPLACE an existing unit, that way I avoid the renumbering of subsequent units, right? So, I could replace an A-10 squadron with an F-15E squadron, making sure that the unit id in the two files match. Then editing the weapons list for the F-15E in the campdata file, right? Thanks, again for the help. -

Do WW2 a/c work in SFP/WOV/WOE, or do I need to pick up a copy of a WW2 sim? Thx. -

TurtleHawk replied to SidDogg's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mods/Skinning Discussion
Oh man, I've wanted a redtail for the longest time. Will it work in WOV/SFP1/WOE? If not, I might have to get a copy of whatever it works in!!!! -
AV-8A in SFP1
TurtleHawk replied to brader's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
Will the AV-8C, then replace the AV-8A in the campaign, though? Or will you only get the "C" in single missions? -
Sad news indeed. There are no coincidences; I was sitting in the waiting room at Scripps Green Hosp. a couple of weeks ago. The nurse called for Walter Schirra, and my heart skipped a beat. I thought, no way, and there he was sitting right across from me. I even said to my sweetie, I bet that's the astronaut. I'm a bit sorry I didn't ask him, and thank him for inspiring my dreams as a young boy in the '60s and 70s. Thank you for bringing this to our attention.

F-14D: No Afterburner Effects
TurtleHawk posted a topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mods/Skinning Discussion
I installed the above model by Typhoid, and it is beautiful, but has no afterburner effects. Also the engine sound does not kick-in until you go to the AB. Anyone have any suggestions. Thank you. -

Idle Thoughts of New Campaigns
TurtleHawk replied to Nicholas Bell's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mission/Campaign Building Discussion
I'm not sure I could help except as a tester, but I would sure appreciate new campaigns featuring modern aircraft in new or different theaters. There are so many different places to fly now, Suez, Libya, Israel, Cuba, etc. -
Tutorial for changing a/c in campaigns?
TurtleHawk posted a topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mission/Campaign Building Discussion
I have searched and read everything that comes up for a tutorial for changing the a/c in campaigns. For example, I'd like to maybe add an F-15E to the Burning Sands campaign. Will someone help, please? -

TurtleHawk replied to TurtleHawk's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mission/Campaign Building Discussion
Thanks, Bibbolicious. I'll give this a try. I think I understand what's going on in the camp.ini. It looks like you edit the air unit. Also, thanks for the add-ons you've created. I think I just grabbed a couple. -

Was the DCE updated to work with current versions of SFP/WOV/WOE? -

Thanks, USAFMTL. Ok, maybe I'll give the other version a try with the limitations that have been identified. I want to try to replace a/c, and squadrons in existing campaigns. -

adding SFgold to WOV/WOE
TurtleHawk replied to grumpapotamus's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
Thanks for the reply. I'm wondering what are the advantages or enhancements of combining the three? I'm not sure what you mean by fly the original campaigns in WOE??? -
adding SFgold to WOV/WOE
TurtleHawk replied to grumpapotamus's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
Is there a tutorial for doing a SFP1/WOV/WOE combined install? Can You then add, NATO I/II? Can you add Bunyap's Weapons Pack? Hope this isn't hijacking the thread. Please let me know if it is. Thank you. -
Campaign problem
TurtleHawk replied to l_Speedy_l's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
I had a similar problem with the campaigns not being saved. I did a reinstall and that fixed it. Sort of a hassle but it worked. Things can get a bit whacked, especially when you are using add-ons. Hope this helps. -
Can you have multiple installs of WOV?
TurtleHawk posted a topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
I don't seem to be able to have separate installs with different campaigns. I can with WOE SFP, but WOV will only let me install or uninstall when I load the cd. Is this common, is there a fix work around? -

What has to be done to get an F14 into WOV?

There is an F-14 WOV campaign located in the d/l section. You could try that, also. -

Is there a way to add a flyable squad of F-15Es to the WOE campaigns? Is there a tutorial? I did several searches but maybe I missed it. -
