my wingman and myself was once shot down by an an12 cub on a reconnaissance. Both of us chased him and got nailed by the ahem... stinger air mines he had coming from the tail gunner

Hi guys I have been playing through the campaigns in WOI (i have also added the extra campaigns for the war for water, the attrition war and the Golan stalemate) and have just apparently upgraded to the nesher from the mirage 3 I don't know whether its just me but i felt it was more of a downgrade. Apart from the obvious differences in the aircraft I.E RWR and weapons capacity, i feel that the nesher isnt as good as the mirage 3 (in the game, dnt know about real life lol) As far as i can see (ive flown 3 missions so far) it has no radar. And also i find the engine to be much weaker. especially in accelaration. I was just wondering whether this is historically accurate or not? Mike

Thanks for the heads up. will check the data.ini for the engine I guess u guys have a good point about the radar as i dont really use it anyway. As for the r.530 missile id rather throw stones at the enemy. I have also noticed that the nesher carries more cannon ammo which is highly useful I guess after doing 50+ missions in the mirage 3 ive grown rather attatched to it lol Mike

Don't know how many of u will understand this but i have learned that "THEY" don't know welsh so: "Dyle pob llyswen cael ei phen ei thorri bant a chael ei thaflu i mewn i injan f-15e ar llawn afterburner. Dyna yw'r unig ffordd i cael gwared ohonyn nhw bant or planed hyn." This comes from an anonymous source that is very good at getting rid of "THEM"

Hi guys. interesting topic. I have had the 30mm from a mirage 3 jam on 2 ocaasions in woi. However both times my aircraft was damaged. Does this affect it i wonder? Mike

Hi guys Has anyone heard the rumour that santa no longer uses his sleigh but is flying the prototype aurora on his round this year. Pulse detonation engines should get him round the world in half the time lol

That guy reminds me of the xfactor rejects. Some of them truly believe they are excellent.

Hi guys After a couple of months out of the game and this website i was just wondering if the desert storm mod has or is near to being completed. Please forgive me if i seem a bit ignorant if it has been released but i have had no internet for a few weeks and don't know how it is coming along. Any news would be much appreciated Mike

Hot Fuzz is really good Love the way the topic in this post has gone from desert storm to hot fuzz LOL Mike

It is illegal to die in the houses of parliment in london LOL

Hi guys I am hoping to get a new joystick next week and was hoping to get an idea of which one to buy I am looking to spend no more than £40, as i have a tight budget, but would like one with a throttle controller. I am currently using the saitek st90 stick which is a bit jumpy to say the least. Any feedback would be much appreciated Mike

I only have one kill with this missile, even though i take them on nearly all AA missions. believe it or not that one kill was just luck, i fired the missile and it just went straight until its motor burnt out. the mig i was chasing's wingman decided to manouver into it as it was falling to the ground lol

Just thought id share this with the non-believers here http://www.metacafe.com/watch/250400/liger/ AMAZING!

Thats exactly how i felt with my mirage. i thought i could have saved it. it was a good aircraft that had brought me home from 29 combat missions LOL

hi guys Thanks for the replies. I have all settings as hard apart from hud and targetting that landing with a vulcan after being hit by an sa2 is brilliant. Nice flying! Mike

Ouch! That is definately not good. Normally you would have a good car but unfortunately that is rubbish as well

Hi guys Just thought id share what i have just been watching on tv. The armistice day ceremony was on between 10.00 and 11.30 this morning live from trafalgar square. The last 3 surviving members of britains armed forces from the great war were there paying their respects. Each was a member of the three armed forces (Navy, air force, army) and they each had a wreath to put at the monument. I noticed that the air force veteran insisted on putting his own wreath at the monument rather than letting one of his escorts doing it. They later went on to explain each of the veterans part in the conflict and it turns out that the regular army vet is the last surviving soldier that fought in the trenches. The royal navy vet fought in both world wars, and the air force vet turned out to be a founding member of the RAF (during the first world war the army was also responsible for aircraft). These people I believe deserve the utmost respect from younger generations I think it is important to remember the people that gave everything during the great war so that future generations could live in peace. To all those who fell Gone but never forgotten

Are those the new X prototype top secret speed of light bombers on the right? LOL

Although im not an expert at the TW sims, im also not a noob, however there are two questions that i have been stuck in my mind recently that maybe the more 'seasoned veterans' could answer 1. When flying missions and requesting help off red crown, do they EVER send anyone to help out. Its just that every time i request help the answer is "Negative, all our assets are commited" AAAAARRRRGGGHHH! LOL 2. the second thing ive also noticed that when on my approach to home base the tower always says runway 24 (or whatever runway no. it is) is in use, does this mean i do not have clearance to land? most of the time i just land anyway LOL any help would be much appreciated Mike

Ok Cheers just a couple of those niggling things you know

How about moving to Wales? Its got some really awesome scenery and you wouldn't have to worry about violence cos there isnt much happening in that sense. Iv lived in wales all my life and rarely hear about murders or violence. On the other hand i suppose it depends where in wales you go Mike

Hi guys Just thought id point out that someone has been screwing with the weapons delivery manual wiki http://bunyap2w1.com/SFP1_Wiki/index.php?t...Delivery_Manual Hope Bunyap can put it right Sad B*st*rds whoever did it Mike

Hi guys I am not really a noob at playing the thirdwire games, however i am a noob at playing the simulation with visual targetting and HUD on HARD settings. I have just started a campaign in WOE flying the USAF f-15A and was wondering how do you tell between friend and foe on the radar screen? in my first mission i managed to shoot down a german f-4 lol. I have downloaded the f15-A avionics upgrade so i do not have TWS mode on the radar if this makes a difference Thanks Mike

Thanks for replying Crusader How do you add IFF to the search mode of the radar? Mike

U guys should try living in the uk Not even allowed to carry toy guns any more LOL. However when on hols in the U.S. i had the experience of firing a .50 desert eagle. MAN that gun ROCKS
