Linebacker III Campaign

That's probably a good idea. I'll do it later if I get a chance. -
Linebacker III Campaign
malibu43 replied to malibu43's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mission/Campaign Building Discussion
Alright, here it is. Well, a "beta" version at least... http://www.sendspace.com/file/88z1y6 I think I included everything needed, and I did my best on the readme, although, I'm sure there are some things that I missed. There are more aircraft downloads required than I originally intended, but I think it's worth it. Please give it a try and let me know right away any issues you find, any suggestions, or any other feedback!!! Once I know it's working alright and installation is explained well enough, I'll add it to the downloads section. PS - The download link will expire after a while. If it does, someone please let me know and I'll re-upload the file. EDIT - I forgot to include in the readme that the USS Tarawa is required as well. It can be found in the CombatAce downloads section. -
Request: Model for a 150 gal Skyraider droptank
malibu43 posted a topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mods/Skinning Discussion
Hey folks, I've been trying to find a 150 gal droptank for the skyraiders, and couldn't find anything in the weps pack that seemed to work. I was hoping maybe and experienced modeler might be able to throw one together... If it can be done, I'd really appreciate it. If not, no big deal. Thanks! -
Request: Model for a 150 gal Skyraider droptank
malibu43 replied to malibu43's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mods/Skinning Discussion
Yeah, as soon as I'd posted that question I realized what I had to do and tried to edit it before anyone caught on to my incompetency... Funny, I found that the attachment position that gave me the right look was -0.83, very different from 0.08. Are you using the free A-1H or the Razbam models? *edit* - I realized that there are 3 or 4 different attachment position variations depending on which of the Razbam skyraiders you're using, hence the different values. Got em all squared away! -

Question about loading screens
malibu43 posted a topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
This is an easy one. For some reason, my WOV install uses the default WOE loading screen (the F-15) whenever missions are loading. I downloaded some of the loading screen packs from the download section, but they're all set up for specific aircraft. If I want to use one of those BMP's as the default loading screen for all aircraft: 1. What do I name it? 2. Where does it go? Thanks! -
Permission to use MF and 'megapack' aircraft...
malibu43 posted a topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
Hey folks, I'm putting together a modern campaign, and I've included an F-16C BLK40 and an F/A-18C. The F-16C consists of the MF F-16A_BLK10_NDC with modified .ini files and loading and hangar screens. The F/A-18C is the FA-18 "Blue Angels" aircraft from the megapack (I believe it came from check six...?) using the MF FA-18A skins. Then there are a bunch of .ini edits to make it a C and some hangar and loading screens. Right now I'm just going to post the campaign for testing, and I would like include these aircraft so I don't have to right an elaborate readme for modding them. I know the F/A-18C is in the works, and when it (or an F-16C BLK40 with modern HUD/Avionics) comes out, I'll write that into the campaign instead. But, like I said, for now I just want to be able to have people test it out, and I'd like to include these aircraft for them. Would this be alright? Thanks! -

Question about loading screens
malibu43 replied to malibu43's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
MAINSCREEN_ALTERN.BMP Slightly different question, but similar enought that I don't want to start a new thread. I created these two mainscreens for WOE based on a mainscreen I downloaded here at CA. When I use them, and hover the mouse over a "button" part of the original WOE screen shows up inderneath. Can someone tell me what causes this and what I need to to do to my Mainscreen's to prevent it? Thanks! -
Linebacker III Campaign
malibu43 replied to malibu43's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mission/Campaign Building Discussion
Man, I'm really going all out for this one. It's now a far cry from what my original intention was... The way I have it set up now, it will probably best as a dedicated install (installed over a fresh WOE), since I had to tweak a lot of data.ini's for ground objects. However, it could still be added to your standard merged install without screwing too much up... I think. The basic requirements are going to be WOE with the VietnamSEA terrain added. You could install it over WOV, but you'll need to download alternate versions of the stock WOE aircraft and a lot of the more modern ground objects. Installing over WOE w/ terrain added will definitely be the way to go. Here are some custom Hanger and Menu screens I'm working on. -
Permission to use MF and 'megapack' aircraft...
malibu43 replied to malibu43's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
Well, I'm pretty much ready to post the campaign for some folks. It'll probably be up next week. So for now, I'd like to use the one I've pieced together if possible. But, like I said, once the MF version comes out, I'll definitely write it into the campaign and abandon my Franken-Hornet. If it's anything like the A-7E's, I'm sure I won't disappointed!!! -
I'm sure you aren't the only person in a park in Berkley at 10 PM who claims to have seen "UFO's" and strange lights.

Linebacker III Campaign
malibu43 replied to malibu43's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mission/Campaign Building Discussion
ezlead, Thanks for pointing that issue out to me. After some ivestigating, I found that only SA-6's and one type of AAA was showing up. I extracted the data.ini for almost all of the ground objects, and started changing the dates for the ones I thought should show up in the campaign. My question, though, is does anybody what ground objects the game engine will try to insert into a campaign on it's own? In order to minimize the impact this campaign would have on someone's install, I want to minimize the number of modified data.ini files that need to be installed with the campaign. These are the objects that I would modify the service years for: KS-19 Fan Song SA-2F all the ZIL-157's M113 Quad-55 Any ground objects that I specifically add to the ground units. In addition to these objects the T-72A, SA-6 and straight flush, and the ZSU-34 will show up since they already are good up to the year 2000. So in addition to the objects I listed above, are there any other stock WOE objects that should be available in the campaign but won't because of service dates? I know the campaign will work whether I mod these files or not, but I'm trying to ensure that I include everything that should be there in '95, but not alter too many things that shouldn't/wouldn't be there. Any advice is appreciated! -
Linebacker III Campaign
malibu43 replied to malibu43's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mission/Campaign Building Discussion
Thanks for the advice. As it is now, I'm getting some CAS missions 1 or 2 missions into the campaign. I haven't tested any further than that in a while, so I'm not sure where it goes from there. Maybe I'll up the supplies to see how it goes. The only tanks in the campaign are the T-72A, so they should be fine year-wise. I also have the infantry pack incorporated, so you get a mix of CAS missions attacking tanks and infantry. Thanks for the input! *edit* - Actually I just checked, and a lot of the AAA and other ground objects do have service years that end some time in the 80's. However, they are set to exported, and there is no export end year. Since the enemy nation in my campaign is N_Vietnam and these weapons would have to be imported, should all these objects still be available in the campaign? -
High Drag Munitions for Tornado
malibu43 posted a topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
I was just wondering if anyone knew if/what high drag bombs the Tornado (GR1 and IDS) would carry in real life. With the stock loadouts and weapons pack the way they are, there aren't any available, and I was thinking modify the attachment types to allow the the appropriate high drag bombs for low level runs. Thanks! -
Linebacker III Campaign
malibu43 replied to malibu43's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mission/Campaign Building Discussion
Good to know there is still interest in it! I'm in the middle of moving right now, so it will be a while (1 week or so) until I can get all the right files zipped and some sort of installation read-me put together. Stay tuned... -
Linebacker III Campaign
malibu43 replied to malibu43's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mission/Campaign Building Discussion
Just and update: This has turned into basically a "modernized" version of the LBII campaign. Takes place now in '95 instead of '85 to use F-15E's, the AV-8B+, and F-18's and F-16's with lantirn pods and LGB's. Also featured are the F-15C, A-7E, A-6E, A-10, F-14, F-111F, and Tornado GR1. This means it requires a considerably larger amount of downloads and a little .ini editing to get the F-16 BLK10 to be a BLK40 the FA-18A to be a FA-18C. If anyone's interested in testing, let me know. I'll try and get you all the appropriate files. -
Nato Fighters 3 - Official Hype/Wish Thread: or how to have your cake and eat it !
malibu43 replied to JonathanRL's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
I always thought it would be cool if NF was integrated/compatible with Bunyaps weps pack. As is it is right now, you can have a NF install, and then all the other mods that require the weps pack need to be in a separate install. If they were compatible, Nato Fighters could become the standard step after patching and weps pack install, and then folks could mod on top of that. -
So, I've had the weps pack installed pretty much since I started playing WOE. I'm also like 90% sure that I played through most of a RAF Harrier GR3 campaign, and that I had all the appropriate weps. However, I just went to start up a new one (I deleted my saved campaigns, for another reason...), and there were no weps available in the loadout screen. I checked the campaign data.ini file, and found none of the RAF weapons listed existed in the weapons data file. So I fixed the starting weps supply for all the RAF squadrons by adding the correct weapons, but what's driving me nuts is that I could swear I played a campaign before and didn't have this issue. I did a fresh install of the weps pack in a separate folder, and confirmed that the missing weapons don't exist in the weps back (UK500LB, Matra-155, etc...). So am I smoking crack in thinking that I played through a RAF Red Lightning campaign before without having updated the weps supplies? The KB thread talks about updating loadouts and aircraft data, but I don't ever remember seeing anything about updating campaigns...

Weapon Supply for RAF in WOE messed up after weps pack install...?
malibu43 replied to malibu43's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
Really? How does that work? Is that with weapon supply on unlimited? Anyway, I can't try it out, since a while back I went and added all the appropriate weapons into the the RAF campaigns. -
As I pulled over the top, I expected to see him coming up to meet me, and prepared for a deadly game of chicken. But to my suprise, he continued straight ahead and passed underneath me. What luck! I lined up for a shot and squeezed off a sidewinder. Good kill! Ah... nothing like a little sweet revenge... Feet dry. I wish I could say the same for my flightsuit. What a pretty sight! I line up for final... And grease 'er in... All that's left to do now is take a hot shower and figure out what kind of liquor to toast to wingie with...

Damn! No time to dwell, though... I pressed on down on the deck, and banked hard into the target at 10 miles out. At a mile out, I pulled up and climbed to Angels Six, rolled over and flew the pipper over the target, a large wherehouse in the center of the complex. Bombs away! I pulled up sharply and look back just in time to see the impact. At least wingie wasn't lost in vain. Just as I looked forward again, the fireworks started. I jetisoned my tanks and racks in an effort to lighten up... Once again, I dropped down to the deck and headed for the coast, hoping I could get out without experiencing the same fate as wingie. Unfortunately, I had company... Could I outrun him? Hmmm... not likely. I didn't have enough fuel to make it back down low and at full throttle. Seeing it as my only choice, I took a page out of Maverick and Goose's book and pulled back hard, nearly blacking out.

F4U-7 alternative download
malibu43 posted a topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
I'm trying to get the F4U-7 so I can mod it to F4U-4B for my Korea install, but I haven't been able to get on checksix all day. Does anyone know if there is another place to download it?
