A-6's DIANE
Fubar512 replied to hide86's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mods/Skinning Discussion
To the best of my knowledge, the DIANE system cannot be modeled in this series, using any of the conventional avionics parameters available to us. That does not mean that a clever modeler cannot "fake" some of its features (mostly for eye candy), but it still would not work in a realistic manner. Hell, we're still waiting for TK to make the LABS timers operational.... -
How I fight in the Mirage?
Fubar512 replied to Stratos's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
A few tips.... 1) Learn to roll at high alpha with the rudder. 2) Practice your deflection shooting. You'd be surprised how often a MiG-17 screws up and crosses your flight path well within gun range. 3) When in a scissors, remember tip 1, and don't overcompensate. It only takes me 2-3 scissors before I go from having a MiG-21 on my six, to being on his six. 4) Use lag pursuit. Force your opponent to execute large, energy-bleeding maneuvers, but don't follow his lead! 5) Use clouds to force an opponent to lose track of you. Estimate where he'll be when you both emerge (from the clouds), and try to be on his six. 6) Only use the vertical when you know that your aircraft's still in a high energy state, but your opponent's is not. -

Searching a late war Shahak skin or a good template for it
Fubar512 replied to Stratos's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mods/Skinning Discussion
That would make a very nice skin. Unfortunately, you may have to create your own template, if you want to use the TW model. Why not ask TK at his site? -

Kesselbrut created that pit at my request. I'm OK with you releasing it, as long as KB agrees. -

You guys have to excuse Wrench. You see, he grew up in California, and everybody knows that earthquakes are a common occurrence out there, so one can easily understand why he may not see anything out of the ordinary in the appearance of this bridge.... -

I just explained how to do it. It worked the first time I tried it. Did you delete the weapondata.dat file first? Theoretically, it's not necessary, but as they say, sh!t happens...
