A civilian idea...
Shashman replied to pcpilot's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
A fair idea for sure, and I can imagine quite a few scenarios involving civilian airliners and civilian airports, but your idea of using them to fly around sightseeing makes me wonder... Why? At least in MSFS the terrain is more detailed and interesting to look at, but in TW sims, the terrain isn't their strong point, on the contrary, they're pretty basic to say the least. No landmarks, roads, proper cities, areas of natural beauty etc... -

I'm on a few forums and newbs are usually given a hard time, just not used to being on the receiving end of it, I guess lol. Apologies anyway -

Alright, enough of the piss taking already yeah? It was a simple question, a yes or a no would've been sufficient. It stopped being funny after the second 'humorous' response -

Well I'll take that as a yes :ph34r: Is there a progress thread or anything where I can find out more about the project? I'm really interested in the subject -

Does that mean you're working on a DS campaign? :D -

Using iron bombs
Shashman posted a topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
Hi everyone, first post on this seemingly excellent forum (Got WoE yesterday) and I love it. I've owned or played pretty much every combat flight sim since the mid 90s and I have to say that WoE gives me the most realistic impression of actually being in a combat aircraft, especially the camera viewpoint I'm doing pretty good in it by my own admission, with the exception of one thing : using unguided a2g weapons. There aren't any aiming aides or sights, or I just haven't found them and I find that the very rare shack I get is a result of pure luck or just putting as much iron on the general target area as I can. Surely not the best methods I flew a couple B-52 missions (installed the SuperPack thing) and was surprised that a bombing sight wasnt modelled How am I supposed to drop 24 Mk-82s over an air base if I haven't the foggiest of where my bombs are gonna land? lol So yeah on to my obvious question ; are there any tutorials, faqs, lessons available anywhere? Even better, if bombing aides aren't built in, are there any mods out to rectify this pretty major omission? Thanks in advance :) -

WoE, WoW and SF1 share the same section in the forum and downloads -
Using iron bombs
Shashman replied to Shashman's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
Well, to be fair I have extensive knowledge of other games when it comes to installing mods and tweaks and addons, etc, but WoE has to be the most complex one I've experienced. Downloaded the Middle East Conflicts campaigns, and it took me about an hour and a half just to get all the addons in the right places and sorted out properly. Crazy Cheers for the links guys, I'll check them out. I still find it odd that air to ground combat is so badly simulated in a game billing itself as "Cold War Gone Hot" Ah and while I'm here; why are WoE, WoW and SF1 mods/addons/missions/etc grouped together here in the forum and downloads section? I find it hard to find what I want a lot of the time because everything's all muddled together. Are WoW, WoE and SF1 compatible or something? -

Thanks a lot for the links Kukulino, and I have the Range, but apart from giving me a practising area, it doesn't really help. Like giving a 10 year old a Land Rover and saying "here are the keys"...."That's it though, I'm not gonna teach you how to drive" :p edit: sorry for this, but being a total n00b with WoE, I don;t know how to install aircraft addons, or any addons or mods for that matter (unless they come as an installer)
