Did you know that? (Google Earth Models to 3ds Max)
Fubar512 replied to lauro rafael's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
There was no mention of ripping off Google models. Many (if not most) of those models are available on the Google Sketchup website, along with the contact information of the whichever artist was responsible for it. I have always sought the artist's permission before making any model available for download, and listed them in the credits if they so desired or demanded it. Several examples of this include the "old" tanker, the T-80 tank, and the Klingon D-7 (which has yet to be released). -
Frame rate tweak for Nvidia users
Fubar512 replied to Fubar512's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Knowledge Base
The number of frames that are qued by the processor, before they are sent to the graphics card. By limiting it to 1, you are probably avoiding a scenario where frames are literally "piling up" in the processor que, instead of being directly handed off to the graphics card, during intensive events (such as when flying over Hanoi amidst numerous AAA bursts and SAM launches). -

Fubar512 replied to lauro rafael's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
Most of those models are created in Google Sketchup. The community (including myself) has been importing Sketchup models into the SF series for about 5-6 years now. 90% of the Sketchup models require so much work, that one would be better off starting from scratch. -
2121 combined horsepower, and $3300.00 in perfectly good rubber, converted into a smokescreen. Where can I find a job like this?

As this topic has proven quite helpful, I'm pinning it for now. -

The results are especially noticeable flying over the TW Iceland terrain in SF2NA. -
SF2 Vietnam. Homeplate Carrier Missing at Launch

That is exactly what the issue is. -

The first season was the best, and my favorite Miami Vice track was "Voices" by Russ Ballard

I'm glad to see that the Caroline is in good hands. BTW, the gent who stated that she's the last remaining WW 1 warship, must have really meant "the last remaining WW 1 warship in the UK". The battleship USS Texas served during WW 1, and is actually older than the Caroline. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Texas_(BB-35) I visited the Texas at least twice, and I was always taken by how cramped she is, as though she was intended for crew members no taller than 5'8" in height.

They'll have a helluva time trying to top the reimagined series. They'ed better have some really great script and screenplay writers working OT on this.

How to change VPAF Number?
Fubar512 replied to HuuTungNguyen's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
Welcome aboard. You have nothing to apologize for, as your English is quite adequate. The issue may be due to having installed a mod that is not fully compliant with the latest patch, as I had no problem selecting that very same number (Pham Tuan's MiG-21MF, number 5121), in my install. Can you tell us what mods you have installed? -

Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water
Fubar512 replied to Fubar512's topic in The Pub
I did not see any threshers in that mess. They all appear to be either blacktip or spinner sharks. Even a juvenile thresher would be quite easy to distinguish from either of those two species: We're going to need many boats..... Dave, don't wuss out. You don't need any boats, you don't even need a long surf rod. A short boat rod, a nice mackerel bait on a cable leader, and an underhanded lob is all it would take to put you in the action......And I'll bet that mackerel wouldn't last to a ten count in that mess. After that, it's just a matter of hanging on during the first run or two, and then it's a matter of reeling'em up on the strand. Then tag'em, unhook'em, and let them go so they live to fight another day. -
Ugh...AHMs in This Game...
Fubar512 replied to PFunk's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
You all must remember that the intent of the series is to model aircraft, weapons, and avionics from 1950-ish up until 1982 or so. -
Ugh...AHMs in This Game...
Fubar512 replied to PFunk's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
Unfortunately not. Unlike an aircraft or ground model, where you can state radar frequency and signal strength values, all radar-guided missiles in this series simply have statements allowing them to match guidance frequency values of their launch or host platforms. As such, the AHMs do not really "emit" a signal in-game, and annoyingly (as you've already mentioned), guide effortlessly straight to their targets with nothing more than an initial paint from their launch platforms. -
I am glad to hear that, Falcon. Keep the faith, my friend.

Dumb question time ( TW SF2 expantion packs )
Fubar512 replied to Foxbat1966's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
The AI plane packs, if you don't mind the ini "dance" that's involved in making those models flyable. -

The canards are moving opposite of what they should be. See here, at the 2:21 mark: The canards on those birds are designed to direct airflow over the leading edges of the main wings during maneuvers, they are not front mounted stabilizers. Whomever penned that Data.ini needs to check his sources. -
Rookie Modeling Work in progres
Fubar512 replied to acesfakia's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
Changing mesh names won't accomplish anything if the "spinner" isn't defined as a separate mesh, which it's not on that model. I tried this back in April and May of 2012, so don't waste your time. -
Paul Revere, from the iconic 1960s group Paul Revere and the Raiders passed away yesterday, at the age of 76. http://www.examiner.com/article/paul-revere-beloved-classic-rock-legend-dies-at-age-76 I remember really liking this song, back when it was getting airplay on WABC in NY back in late 1966 or early 1967 (I was all of 8 years old back then!):

Yes, it will work on all titles and terrains, as they are combined when one installs them. -
Obviously Yetis, judging by the size of their footprints in relation to the car's size

Smokescreens?
Fubar512 replied to dsawan's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - World War II Forum
It would have absolutely no effect on AI aircraft. Remember this adage: "If it's not a coded event, it's a non-event in SF". -
Fastest Manned Flight ever....47 years ago
Fubar512 replied to MigBuster's topic in Military and General Aviation
They mean the fastest manned "controlled-flight" within the atmosphere. And they also stated that it was surpassed during the first shuttle re-entry.
