A Tale of Two Shaders
Fubar512 replied to Fubar512's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mods/Skinning Discussion
FastCargo was right, the first time It's heat blur, though I'm having a helluva time keeping the effect localized to the area of the exhaust nozzle...and even then, its only visible from certain angles, and when viewed against dark backgrounds. -

Yes, as soon as I manage to remove the "seams". See anything else? -
Tu-22M3
Fubar512 replied to Wraith27's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mods/Skinning Discussion
The only existing model we had for the Tu-22M (built by Tomcat74) was lost in a hard drive crash, over a year ago. A real pity, as he'd spent a lot of time on it. That's one of the many reasons we have for reminding people to regularly back up their files. -
Funny, I don't recall Barry Bostwick in Tron.....he was in another 80's film that I enjoy very much, though... Red Flag, the Ultimate Game.

Editing Wings Over Vietnam
Fubar512 replied to Manfred Albrecht Freiherr's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mods/Skinning Discussion
Really, F-15s shot down in real air-to-air combat? Show us the wreckage, surrounded by gleeful Syrians. Truth is, you can't, because it did not happen. The F-15 still has a perfect A2A record. You see, here in the US & the west, our free press (much as we malign it), will scandalize even the slightest hint of a government coverup, and goes absolutly ballz-to-the wall ballistic over any alleged misinformation. In short, it pretty much serves as a BS filter for government or pro-military propaganda. Notice any lack of a coverup or disinformation regarding Israeli losses during 2006 in Lebanon? -

Calling help
Fubar512 replied to lagger123987's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mods/Skinning Discussion
Well, for the time being, you can always change RedCrown's scripted response to this one: Speech/T1rhys003.wav Not that it will matter, as you'll simply be making her lie to you... -
Editing Wings Over Vietnam
Fubar512 replied to Manfred Albrecht Freiherr's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mods/Skinning Discussion
Wow, talk about propaganda..... BTW, an F-16C holds 7000 lbs of fuel. Jet "A" weighs in at 7 lbs per US Gallon, so, 7000/7 = 1000 gallons. There are 4.546 liters per US gallon, so the internal capacity of an F-16C is 4546 liters (not 3100). Also, the F-16C's turbofan engine is much more fuel efficient than the MiG-21bis's turbojet, and has superior acceleration below 10,000 feet BALT. BTW, the Pakastanis claim that the F-16 killed BOTH MiG-23s on that incident, and that their sole F-16 loss was due to friendly fire. Or, how about the fact that over 30 Syrian MiG-23s were killed by the Israelis (between 1982 and 1985), with no losses on the Israeli side? -
How to padlock SAMS?
Fubar512 replied to xpublius's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
You cannot padlock the missiles themselves, but you can padlock the site that just launched against you, by using shift+R, and often see the incoming SAM's exhaust trail. -

Fubar512 replied to Manfred Albrecht Freiherr's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mods/Skinning Discussion
Any MiG-21bis would be badly outclassed by even an early F-16. The 21's inferior power-to-weight ratio, the slow response rate of its engine to throttle inputs, it's propensity for adverse yaw at high roll rates, and it's limited internal fuel capacity (not to mention the rather limited visibility from the cockpit of later '21 models), would all but render it a sitting duck in a dogfight against a modern opponent. -
WoV intercept quick mission ?
Fubar512 replied to lindr2's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mods/Skinning Discussion
No. If you want those particular missions, your only option is to merge WoV with WoE, when given the option to (during the WoE installation process). -

Did you save the weapondata.ini, file using the recommended version of the weapon editor (for WoI)? -
How install the SAM`s?
Fubar512 replied to Ant1967's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
You need to install Bunyap's weapons pack (July '06 release) to get all the missiles for the SAM launchers. -
Oh no....does that also mean that SG-1 will be disbanded?

Reborn Laptop
Fubar512 replied to GwynO's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
After flirting with potential disaster for many years, I finally broke down and spent $100.00 US on a nice, 500 GB Western Digital external HDD. I backed up almost 11 year's worth of valuable data, amongst which, were all my Thirdwire installs and their related files. -
Wings over Videos
Fubar512 replied to JonathanRL's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
A video showcasing terrain, object, and environmental mods in WoI. They are Polak's runway mod, CA_Stary's trees (from his "Green Hell" mod), my modded terrain shaders, and an environmentsystem.ini file edited to give the sim a "desert" feel, with a dusty, windblown sand horizon effect, and an intense sun. And if you're wondering, yes, the combination of all this eyecandy, in conjunction with running FRAPS, slows my old system to a crawl Enjoy!

Environmentsystem.ini question
Fubar512 replied to Coot's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mods/Skinning Discussion
Obtain the R,G,B values of the color you wish to apply (you can accomplish that easily in MS Paint), and this use this convertor to determine their "ThirdWire" values. http://www.sfmods.com/rgbtool.html -
