SAM launch! SAM launch!
rovert97 replied to Basher11's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
my interpertation is this wingman says "Sam Launch" 30 seconds later, you see them off the nose and start screaming "Oh SH*T, Oh SH*T, Oh SH*T" they pass by, and then you laugh at the failed russian missiles as they explode somewhere back on the ground on the people of the country that launched them at you. -
not I. I was the ammo guy who supplied the F-16's at Cannon with fresh inert 20mm and little blue bombs (BDU-33's) all the time.

man, i went to the museum back in like 1998 or something on a motorcycle trip with my father. ive got hundreds of pics that i had scanned into the comp way back when, but then my hdd failed and i lost all them. i still have the originals but now my scanner doesnt want to work. ive got some great shots of the planes. when i was there the X-29 was hanging from the roof, and the XB-70 was positioned so its nose was over an A-10. gives you a good scale of how big it really is.

Old girl is starting to show her age (again)
rovert97 replied to super61's topic in Military and General Aviation
id say retire the older F-15's up to the C varients, and let just the Strike Eagles carry on the missions that all the older eagles can no longer do. the Strike Eagles are just as good in air combat as any other eagle. they dont suffer from this same crack as other models do (yet), and two sets of eye balls are always better then one. that should buy them enough time for the F-22 squadrons and eventually the F-35 groups to get online and assuming the F-15's role. -
F-100D Skins
rovert97 replied to Dave's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mods/Skinning Discussion
i am all over the 27th Fighter Wings F-100 skin. i was part of the 27th from 1999 to 2001 doing munitions for the EMS squadron to help support the 4 F-16 squadrons at Cannon AFB. I do remember seeing on base, static displays of the F-100's along side the F-111's. it really is a great plane, and the skin looks great. -

ive never had a bsod and ive got a fairly old system running this game, an ati 9800pro (eek) as the video card. i do occasionally get times where the game will minimize, because of my dual monitors, from my mouse moving too far to the right, and then the game will not maximize again. but no bsod.

been playing this game now for 3 days online, ive gone up to Major 1 in about 20 hours of gameplay. i run around with the MP5 RDS, USP, Fast reload, and sprint most of the time on smaller maps. on larger ones i go with the M4 ACOG or AK47 RDS, and the same perks as the MP5. digital camo all around.

Most damaged aircraft that remained flyable
rovert97 replied to Hawk MMS's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
i guess the old saying is true, "with enough money, and thrust, even a rock can fly" cuz thats all that hornet got turned into, a thrust propelled rock with that much damage. -
i guess you never owned a sega dreamcast with the keyboard and mouse. browsing the internet with that was easy, except for the 56k modem part.

ATI Driver
rovert97 replied to GunKill's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
i've never had any real problems with the Omega Drivers for my ATI 9800pro, but the arctic cooling system i got for the card helped alot with the heating issues that the stock fan couldn't keep up with. -
Another day, another plane
rovert97 replied to Julhelm's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mods/Skinning Discussion
looks like a mix of a MiG29, an Alpha Jet, and a Yak-141. but looks good! -

the whole lawn dart name hasn't really applied to the F-16 since the A models disappeared. the A models had a wire chaffing problem against screws and such, and since its a fly-by-wire plane, the wires would short or get cut, and the pilot would lose control and crash nose first most of the time. they said they fixed the problems with the newer C and D models. so the lawn dart term is a bit out dated for the F-16's.
