Editing AI Attack Speeds and Formation Sizes
Fubar512 replied to Piecemeal's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
The only sure fire way I now how to do this, is to either create or edit a mission, and then set the speeds and altitudes at the various way points, the IP, the target area, etc. It seems that the AI doesn't always follow what you program into the data.ini otherwise, and messing with the missioncontrol.ini effects them on a global basis (you'll have B-1Bs bombing from 35,000 feet, etc). -

You mean "Grief Squad". That's how they're referred to in the community, or rather, because that is what you mostly hear when someone calls you after Grief Squad gets through working on their PC. A tale of "grief". -
This reminds me of a story cop-friend once told me, of chasing down a stolen car (this took place during the early 1980s), and "herding" it down a dead-end street. When the perp driving the car realized that he had no where to go, he bailed out (leaving the car running and still in gear) and ran into a yard. My friend's partner took off on foot after the driver, while my friend went to stop the car before it struck someone's property. When he finally got it stopped, he found that it had no steering wheel........the perp had been driving it during the chase with nothing more than a pair of vise-grips between him and the splines on the steering column! If I recall correctly, it was a late-model (late 70s-early 80s) Buick Riviera.

Land Sharks?

Because you may not have the proper water map format, and may not have defined routes and areas. Wrench is someone you should talk to regarding this. -

Anybody tried SF2 on 3D TV?
Fubar512 replied to Monty CZ's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
Oh Monty. You do realize that you are now potentially responsible for scores of domestic squabbles, right? I can just see it now "But I want to watch the Rastafarian Pastry chef, and I can't, because you're playing your silly game on the TV!" -
SetCockpitPosition=TRUE

It does more than that, Russ -
SetCockpitPosition=TRUE
Fubar512 replied to Spinners's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
Try this. Set that statement to false, start the game, and, try panning around the cockpit, paying attention to things such as the relationship of the cockpit and its canopy frame to the nose and wings. Then, try it again with it enabled, and tell us what you've noticed with it on -
The 57th interceptor squadron (The Black Knights of Keflavik) flew out of Iceland with a black-on-white checkerboard pattern during that time period, and their alternate base was Leuchars: http://www.verslo.is/baldur/57th_fis/57th.htm

Jeez, with that hat, and that thread title, I expected something more along the lines of this:

MOD REQUEST: New MiG-17 and 19 cockpits.
Fubar512 replied to liamp51's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
As mentioned before on this thread, the MiG-19 is a twin-engined aircraft. If you're going to ask someone to simply remove a frame (which means that he probably has to create a new node for the canopy glass as well), you may as well ask them to go all the way and create a new cockpit, while they're at it. You should check this old thread out: http://combatace.com/topic/27664-mig-19s-farmer-cockpit-in-progress/ Though the MiG-19's 'pit looks quite similar to the MiG-15/17 cockpit, the instrument and switch panel layout is somewhat different, as are the positions of the annunciators (warning lights). -
Is it safe? Is it safe?

No, well, yes, errrrr, You see, The server is in the midwest, and Eric lives like 1000 miles away, and he drove all the way out there, started the process by bringing down the server, and then realized that he had left the damned card at home! So he drove all the way back home, picked up the card, and then hauled ass back to the server, chugging bottles of 5-hour energy during the trip (and tossing the empties on the back seat).

Yes, the hardware upgrade ($19.95 video card) is complete....

A Question about [WeaponAI] in the GroundObject.ini file.
Fubar512 replied to KJakker's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
From experience, I would say from the 3D pivot point of the actual model (note, I'm not refering to the "pivots" of the individual guns). -
Because it happened on his watch, he owns it (just as Roosevelt & Kimmel owned Pearl Harbor, GW Bush owned 9/11, etc) That's just the reality of the situation. The one president who comes to mind as dealing with a similar situation the best, was JFK, with the Bay of Pigs. He had little to do with it, but he publicly took responsibility for it.

Even two bit, fly-by-night tax-preparation firms run encryption software nowadays. In order to use on thumb drive on any system so-equipped, one needs to encrypt the thumb drive as well, theoretically rendering the data on it unreadable on any "outside" system that lacks the same encryption key. I'm sure the NSA uses something more secure than that.

Adding SAMS trough Mission editor?
Fubar512 replied to Stratos's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mission & Campaign Building Discussion
It is possible, but seldom works out well, as you must place the battery of launchers and their SAM radar. You're much better off copying the offsets from amother SAM site, and then using that as a guide, place the entire battery by hand on your terrain-of-choice. A known issue: if you hard code the SAM-type (as opposed to letting the system randomly choose), the SAM radar(s) for the hard-coded battery will go into stealth mode, though this doesn't effect the AI at all. In other words, you won't see it on the RWR.
