New water shader
Fubar512 posted a topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mods/Skinning Discussion
I cooked this up for a personal project. A few guys have approached me about using it with their terrain projects, so I may release it this weekend. -
New Mirage Factory Weps Pack Up

No, as Baghdad Bob would probably say, "They are weapons notorious for their infidelity" -
We are all a bunch of sycophants!

C5 ,you wacko. I wound up pulling a neck muscle at the gym the other day, and it was almost healed, until I saw that. I laughed so freaking hard, that I threw it out again. -

Help!
Fubar512 replied to scouserlad13's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mission/Campaign Building Discussion
Also, if I'm not mistaken, paratroopers are set up as bombs. You must have a target designated within the mission file, for your "parabombers" to drop their payload on. -
Help!
Fubar512 replied to scouserlad13's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mission/Campaign Building Discussion
Every object in the game, from aircraft on down to moose and water Buffalo (yes we have those too), have service start and service end dates. that's where I'd look first. -
Any skilled skiner with free time?
Fubar512 replied to pablo10692's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mods/Skinning Discussion
I really hate it when a talanted skiner like Wrench refuses to make a skine for me -

Single mission screen, Game Crashes
Fubar512 replied to warthog64's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
Try flying the instant action mission. If that doesn't crash, you'l have a clue as to which addon is causing the issues. -

Those are what we call "skines". The skiners make them -
Is It Possible?
Fubar512 replied to Dave's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
I tried this a few years ago. You'll wind up with a "grey" screen, but the imagery will be in color. A real immersion killer. -
Poor FPS

Yayyyyyyyy!!!! According to starbucker, I have a super-approaching-monster level computer!!!!! -
RWR not working in F-22A
Fubar512 replied to TheStig's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
Yes and No. Only the F-117 and the B-2 have bypass-cooled "beavertail" exhaust diffusers, and they're designed to be effective against ground launched IRMs, not airborne threats. They also lack afterburners. The F-22's IR signature reduction comes mainly from it's ability to supercruise, from the location of its wing fuel cells, and lastly, from the marginally buried exhaust section of its engines. It still presents a visible IR sig when compared to the '117 or B-2, though it is quite reduced compared to say, an F-16. -

Exactly, Dave. -
Poor FPS
Fubar512 replied to DamonSchumi's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
An 30 FPS average is quite playable in a flight simulation. In fact a low FPS in the high teens is still playable. Remember, this is not a first person shooter, where a super high end graphics card will help. The TW series scales quite nicely with CPU speed, and does quite well on my Intel E8400 at 3.6 Ghz. ATI cards have had some issues with this series, right from its inception. Those issues ranged from texture corruption (RWR screens did not display in the first two patches with ATI cards), to inexplicably slow FPS, when certain graphic options were enabled. I have a "mere" GeForce 9600, and I regularly see FPS well over 70 (when I disable refresh rate synchronization), with all graphics options set to their highest, except for horizon draw distance (which is CPU limited). -
You must disconnect the POWER cables from all the aforementioned, as they are part of the PSU's harness. You may be able to get away with not disconnecting some, if not all. of the data cables, for access reasons. This usually only applies to PATA ribbon cables. SATA cables are hardly ever in the way.

Nation specific ground objects?
Fubar512 replied to allenjb42's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mods/Skinning Discussion
Yes, you must make the Ukrainian ground objects specific to that nation. All the game engine recognizes is 'Friend' or 'Enemy' in the nations.ini file, so let that be your guide. -
All those files are compressed into an archive. In Janes F-15 and F-18, that file was named "SOUNDZ.RWV". The F-18 guys developed an extraction utility, which they christened "F18SoundManager", that also worked in F-15, and may possibly work in FA.

What the hell is this?
Fubar512 replied to The_Editor's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
That's right. Lieutenant colonels must salute Navy Captains. Keep in mind that the US Navy predates all other services, there was a Colonial Navy before there was an army. -
Wrong...... If they escalate that way, they'll wind up with no air force, no air defenses, and probably no navy, inside of two weeks.
