I had an easy solution to that problem. Don't talk about aircraft. It worked ....for so long I'm going to remember that Mustang comment.

What is your most formidable opponent?
Viggen replied to guyran's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
Not sure why, but I find the MiG-17F to be a lot more intimidating than the MiG-17PF. -
Black Sea terrain questions
Viggen replied to Stratos's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mods/Skinning Discussion
Then the terrain isn't set for the right default terrain.cat I think. -
Screenshot Thread

It's a WIP by pureblue. It's a very nice map. Fubar: That ship, certainly does. Is that a natural gas tanker? -
RAF Tornado F3 crashed, both aircrew killed
Viggen replied to Bongodriver's topic in Military and General Aviation
S! When I was in Scotland in 2006, on several occasions, I saw Tornados flying in the weeds. I think on both occasions where they were very low, the aircraft were F3s. Judging by the fact that I saw Tornados flying around 10,000 feet and less than 1000, I'd say its normal. -
Know Your Aircraft...
Viggen replied to Lt. James Cater's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
Well, here's my "Get to Know Your Aircraft" for the MiG-23. Pros: Speed, yeah that's really it* Countermeasures Cons: Radar- Maximum range of I think 25 miles? Weapons- R-23s aren't very effective in either the IR or radar version, R-3/R-13s suffer from the same problems as early AIM-9s Manueverability- Not really all that great unless you're flying between 320 to 400 knots Low speed handling- Feels like you'll stall any moment, sensitive and sluggish High speed handling- I found it rather uncontrolable Range- Horrible. Not as bad as a MiG-21, but you'll notice you'll go through the fuel real quick, if you can even find the fuel gauge, and the drop tank, if you've even added it, helps very little AG capability- It's an interceptor at heart Countermeasures- You only get six or so, and that's only in the MiG-23MLD if I'm not mistaken. *That speed comes in handy to get you away from a fight once you've realized all the cons. -
C-5A WIP
Viggen replied to Veltro2k's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mods/Skinning Discussion
Awesome. Can't wait to put these in 337 AS colors. Hey Veltro, what was your solution to the pilot problem? -
SF2 Downloads Section
Viggen replied to Dave's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
Is there going to be a skin section for the stock SF2 series aircraft that have different mapping? -
I love that sort of weather. Nice and cold. Although I'd imagine I'd enjoy the temperature in Brazil as well I think it's a real F-16. Block 10 IIRC. Although the AIM-9s certainly are fake. Not even training versions.

Ok You a little cold there Silverbolt? Coat and a scarf? I've been to the Intrepid twice with my CAP Squadron. Once in 2006 before the renovation, and this year in April. Main reasons for going were to see G-BOAD and BuNo 157986. I took a nice picture of the F-16 there. (For a cell phone it's a good shot) And, a visitor from the Canadian Navy.

Updating Older Planes to SF2 Standards
Viggen replied to Dave's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
Well, I suppose I can go off and reinstall SF2V and make my mods of the F-16B mods SF2 ready. Perhaps also some other F-16 mods. I'll need someone to make the finishing touches with the RWRs though since I don't have SF2E. -
Top Gear preformed a similar move racing a Bugatti Veyron against a Eurofighter.

The plunge - have you taken it ?
Viggen replied to Syrinx's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
I've killed off my SFG and WOV installs if that counts. Gonna keep WOE and WOI till I get my new PC. Then I'll go for the next gen. Also killed off my SF2V install becuase of the decals problem. May keep a WOE install for nastalgic reasons. -

Looking good there, Veltro! -
Mirage tactics
Viggen replied to zmatt's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
One thing to remember is that the delta wing is like one big airbrake. That thing bleeds energy like crazy in a turn. I presume this is WOI we're talking about? The Matra 530(?) is useless. Those Shafrir 2s are your friends. -
What's up with my clouds and sky?!
Viggen posted a topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
Made a little single mission so I could zip around SoCal. Mission loads. I take off, and I see blue, black, and pink/purple clouds? What's up with that? White clouds have wierd dots in them too. And finally, is the sky, with lines cutting it up. What's going on here? -
What's up with my clouds and sky?!
Viggen replied to Viggen's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
Alright just renamed that ini. It's your SoCal terrain, Wrench, I'm flying it at the 06 level. It should be ok now though. If I do have anymore trippin' clouds or CTDs, I'll report it here. -
