Classes of Targets in Targets.ini and Types.ini Files
Fubar512 replied to a topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mods/Skinning Discussion
While I've done that before in the past, I refrain from doing it now, as "MobileSAM" doesn't work in random-mission mode. You can define the individual object you want to use as long as it's in the targets.ini. For example, use SA-9, instead of the generic "AAA". This is the method we used to place hawk launchers and their radars on the map, before networking was introduced into the series. -
Merging WOE into WOI
Fubar512 replied to PIGHUNTA69's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
I'm sure that SP5 beta testing for WoE, WoV, and SF will begin soon, if it hasn't already. -
Anybody know where I can find an RA-5C?

Issues with Nuke

There's only one entry for nuclear fusion. The other is for "nuclear fission". In a nutshell: fission = a-bomb fusion = h-bomb. -

MIG 25 SPEED
Fubar512 replied to FLOGGER23's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
Yeah, right. The key word here is "LETHAL". I can shoot a .22 caliber rifle into the air, and while the round can travel much further than 1 km, it doesn't mean that it will retain enough velocity to kill anyone after a few hundred yards.. But, as it's falling, if it were to be hit by something traveling much faster than its initial muzzle velocity... Need I draw you a diagram? The SA-6 does not have the altitude performance to catch the SR-71, the SA-5 does. The best MiG-21 variant is aerodynamically incapable of exceeding Mach 1.06 at low level, '21F-13s, PFs, and PFMs could not exceed Mach 1 at low level. -
WOI Patch Bugs
Fubar512 replied to 76.IAP-Blackbird's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
Funny, I've not experienced any of those problems. You do realize that there are no more subtitles for target acquisition (in Hard mode), right? The usual key combos still work, though. -
Question about computer performance
Fubar512 replied to krgf15's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
I meant software-wise. It sounds as if something's running in the background, using up processor cycles. Perhaps even some form of spyware or trojan. -

SeaCat Missiles
Fubar512 replied to marianoranchos's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mods/Skinning Discussion
Also, there are no A2G weapons that use any guidence-types that can be decoyed. You cannot use active radar, as there's no way of acquiring a ground target with radar, and heat seekers will not lock onto a ground object, even if you ramp up its heat sig to a ridiculous level. The only guidence types that really work against ground objects is EO and Anti Radiation. -
SeaCat Missiles
Fubar512 replied to marianoranchos's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mods/Skinning Discussion
Not at present. While all ground objects can have RCS and even heat signature values assigned to them, there are no provisions for counter measures or ECM. -
MIG 25 SPEED
Fubar512 replied to FLOGGER23's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
Another interesting factoid, and one that's not commonly known, was that while the F-105 was significantly larger than the MiG-21, it had an even lower frontal RCS than the Fishbed. That wasn't by original intent, it simply serves to illustrate how aerodynamically clean the Thundercheif was. -
MIG 25 SPEED
Fubar512 replied to FLOGGER23's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
"The work Lockheed engineers put in to make the A-12 and SR-71 survivable paid off. None were ever shot down, despite a reported 4,000 missile launches against them, and there is only one recorded hit: a small bit of shrapnel hit an A-12 on an early mission over North Vietnam. When the SR-71 was finally retired in 1997, 32 years after the first A-12 became operational, it was still the fastest manned, air-breathing airplane in the world. The A-12 and SR-71 were the first operational "stealth" aircraft, even though they did not depend entirely on reduced signatures to survive (as the later F- 117 and B-2 do). The first use of a deliberately reduced radar signature to improve survivability was on the A-12. " -

In the North Vietnam incident you mentioned, the SA-2 was fired well ahead of the SR-71's flight path, and was command-detonated several thousand feet below and ahead of the aircraft. One small piece of shrapnel hit the airframe. The pilot did not even realize this until after the aircraft landed. And the though the NV overflights were temporarily suspended afterwords, it was not do to this. It was due to the fact that entire A-12 fleet was tasked with overflights of North Korea during the Pueblo incident. Source: http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_qa38...ag=artBody;col1 -
MIG 25 SPEED
Fubar512 replied to FLOGGER23's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
The SR-71s overflew Hanoi during the Vietnam war, and Havana throughout the cold war, with impunity. In the book "Skunkworks", by Ben Rich, there are a few anecdotal paragraphs regarding overflights of hostile territory, namely North Vietnam, where pilots regularly found themselves targeted by SA-2s. The SA-2s could not even come close to intercepting the SR-71s, exploding miles behind them, in their jet wake. Then there was the D-21 drone, which drove the Chinese (and allegedly the Soviets as well) crazy, with fears of American Mach 4-capable stealth aircraft. -

OK one more time
Fubar512 replied to ONETINSOLDIER's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
First off, what sim are you attempting to use it on? I would not even think of using it in WoI, as new AI parameters have been added to that title, and the AI is finally using the default data the way it should (in other words, the AI is finally starting to believe that its acronym stands for "Artificial Intelligence, as opposed to "Artificial Idiot"). If you can wait a few weeks, the upcoming patches for SF, WoV, and WoE should bring those titles up to parity with WoI. Anyway, here it is, usable up to the August 2006 patch in SF, WoV, and WoE: http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?autoc...p;showfile=2673 -
WoV Issue
Fubar512 replied to rovert97's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
Onboard sound, right? I've always used an addon sound cards with built-in signel processors (Turtlebeach or Creative). That might help explain it.
