Operation Desert Storm: 30th Anniversary Edition
Viggen reviewed Menrva's file in User Made Campaigns
Brilliant. Absolutely brilliant. Once again the standard by which an all inclusive campaign should be held to has increased. I've played the Third Wire games for something close to fifteen years on and off now, and the Operation Desert Storm campaigns have always been among my favorite. This edition, released in commemoration of the thirtieth anniversary of Operation Desert Storm is incredibly detailed and includes many new aircraft and details. The new campaign featuring the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait is a fun challenge, one I don't expect my pilot to survive! I had been toying with the idea of returning to playing SF2 for a few months now, and this mod has made me feel like I did in 2006 the first time I picked up Wings Over Europe. To the Operation Desert Storm mod team and CombatAce staff, I thank you. Be proud of your amazing work!- 40 comments

Ok, the content of the goodies folder is well worth the dive into while the mod installs. I'm excited to try out the defense of Kuwait campaign!- 209 replies

Operation Desert Storm: 30th Anniversary Edition
Viggen replied to Menrva's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters Series News
This looks super impressive! Congratulations to the whole team. Also a good use of the subscription service, it'll remind idiots like me to renew! -
Talk about a week. On Monday my grandfather went to the hospital because of his covid case. But that stubborn old man's condition has improved and he's being released.

WIP Mega THREAD!
Viggen replied to ErikGen's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
This might not be the place to say it, but I just want to thank the modders for all the things they still do for this game. -
My grandfather tested positive for it on Friday. He's been doing well, but I'm staying realistic here.

After it's had a full track and balance, drain and flush, lube, and torque checks completed, sure.

Speaking as someone who went through basic in 2012, I didn't see any classic day one shark attacks, then again I was too busy getting the shit smoked out of me to notice if it happened to anyone! But, I will attest to the creativity of some NCOs for resolving fuck ups in a garrison or deployment environment, all of which are a better alternative to having it go on paper.

Ah Mobius 1, a classic. Very interested in your F-22 projects. -
Need a little help

Every one of us here has a mod manager already: a brain and the read me! -
Fiat G.91 "Gina" Pack
Viggen replied to Soulfreak's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - File Announcements
Two seater looks like a real gem. Looking forward to taking these for a spin. -
The Tupolev Tu-98A 'Backfin' (inc. Iraq)
Viggen replied to Spinners's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Sci-Fi/Anime/What If Forum
Good looking skins and I like the backstory for the Iraqi aircraft! I'm sure after they were withdrawn, Iraq held on to them as airfield decoys, and most were destroyed by allied bombing during the Persian Gulf War. -
Faroe Islands terrain
Viggen replied to Gepard's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - File Announcements
Great! I've had ideas in mind for this terrain ever since you first posted screenshots of it. -
SF2 F-19 USAF black & green camo
Viggen replied to kblomkvist's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - File Announcements
Thanks for the new skin. I actually just finished listening to Red Storm Rising as an audiobook last week. I've read the book a million times before. Frisbees of Dreamland is a great chapter.- 1 reply

Finally playing SF2 again!
Viggen posted a topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
After something close to four years, I'm in a position to play SF2 again! Finally off of laptops and on to a desktop. Nothing fancy, but it plays the games I want it to, so no complaints there! Grabbed the SF2 Complete Edition and no issues running on W10 here. After a quick intercept mission in an F-4F, man, this series is like riding a bike, you never forget how. Looking forward to catching up on the many mods I've been missing out on flying or blowing up. Years of looking at everyone's screenshots telling myself, "One day you'll pick this up again." As always, thanks to the modders for their continued efforts and to the CombatAce staff. -
SF2 all in one release
Viggen replied to logan4's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
My current computer is on its last legs and I fully intend on playing SF2 on a new one. This is a very welcome addition, especially when I'm unsure of where all my installers are. -
Great read, thanks!

What are thoughts; should pilots be officers or should enslited be able to fly too?
Viggen replied to Skyviper's topic in The Pub
Well the majority of the Army's pilots are Warrant Officers, not Commissioned. -
Mirage 4000 (WIP)
Viggen replied to FLOGGER23's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
I haven't flown in this game for a while now, for hardware reasons, but this is still a mod I've looked forward to seeing released. Congrats to the Mirage 4000 team! This certainly will be one of the first downloads when I'm back up. -
FAC Snoopy is grounded (But it's back!)
Viggen replied to Menrva's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
If only there was a way to bring Snoopy back. Yeah he never fired the smoke rockets and all too often was shot down, but I can't be the only one who missed seeing that little O-1 orbiting a tank battle. -
OEF 2013-2014 Mission Pack
Viggen posted a topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mission & Campaign Building Discussion
The nostalgic feels from a year ago are hitting me pretty hard right now. I miss deployment. So, I'm going to make a mission pack for the time when I was there, August 2013 to April 2014. No, I'm not making eight months worth of missions! Missions will be flown out of Kandahar Air Field for the most part, because that's where I was, and most missions will probably be flown in Regional Command South. One aircraft will be flown out of Bagram. I've already got an order of battle for the time frame. Of course I don't need one for Army Aviation's assets! Aircraft: F-16C Tornado GR4 A-10C AH-64D* *Do we have an AH-64D Apache? That's a D model without the Longbow radar. US Apaches operate in Afghanistan without Longbow. And of course there will be plenty of other AI aircraft. Those without access to the A-team website will miss out on AI helicopters and UAVs flying around though. If you don't like slow missions, CAS, or armed recon, these aren't the missions for you. Return to fighting MiGs over Hanoi. No screenshots yet because I haven't started anything. Still hunting down aircraft, textures, and ground objects. And this OOB is huge. Might be a couple days before any update. -
Chu containers & HESCO Wall
Viggen replied to GKABS's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
Oh man seeing those RLBs brings me back to Kandahar five years ago! If you're interested in making some different versions, I should still have a few pictures for reference. -
Flying and fighting in the MiG-27
Viggen replied to MigBuster's topic in Military and General Aviation
Great read. Ever since I read Red Eagles I've enjoyed reading pilot's perspectives of the Flogger family.
