The Official Sept/Oct Patch Thread
jayo replied to Murphy'S's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
If you mean the weapon editor.exe icon that should be in your weapons folder,it will just flicker when you click on it.This means it has saved....although there may be a few weapons missing depending on what package you have,which case you will need to edit,ive just learnt to do this myself!! -

jayo posted a topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mods/Skinning Discussion
In Gepard's Israel2 terrain mod there is a WoE/WoV folder with an Israel2.ini to add depending on which you have,do i not need this as im installing Israel2 in WoI? I have already added Polak's Desert tileset -

Installing Israel2 into WoI.
jayo replied to jayo's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mods/Skinning Discussion
Yeah i have the Israel2 update waiting to be added. Wrench sorry,what i mean is...as there is no Israel2.ini file in the Israel2 mod specifically for WoI (as there is for WoE/Wov) Israel Terrain INSTALLATION instruction: 1.) unzip all files into your Strike Fighters folder 2.) If you use WOV open WOV folder and copy file Israel2.ini into Israel2 folder 3.) If you use WOE open WOE folder and copy file Israel2.ini into Israel2 folder ....does this mean i dont need one for WoI? -

Yeah,you're talkin' 15 Gig for OFF Phase3........However if you want "immersion" then OFF has it,historically correct jasta skins/moving front-line/offensive pushes/AI planned missions (as opposed to random spawns).....man the list goes on. If it were'nt for the obvious clues to CFS3 being the engine e.g menu screens/in-flight controls,you would think you were playing an original standalone.

WoE bein a ******* little ****
jayo replied to mrwaffles's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
If you havent already got,i'd recommend d/l FSAutoStart,its free and it will turn off ALL background programs that are constantly running until you restart the PC again. It works a treat for me,i gain around 100-200mb RAM when used with "FreeRAM Pro" (another free d/l).Might help your loading time,will certainly give you a better framerate. Incidentally,FSAutoStart works with any game,flight sim or otherwise.... -

Your Most Successful Aircraft...
jayo replied to Lt. James Cater's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
Well ive yet to make it through a campaign in WoE/WoI,but so far the longest survival time by far has been with the Jaguar. Although im back with the Tornado GR1(with sidewinder rails),when you gotta run at tree-top height there aint no better! -
yeah i know,dead n' buried,first time cruising in this part of the forum,and when you gotta rant......

801 sqn on Invincible was tasked as the Anti-Air Warfare Control and as you probably know commanded by 'Sharkey' Ward who was also in command of the developemnt trials of the Sea Harrier.He knew what the FRS.1 was capable of right from the start and,before the war started was very open about its excellant combat capabilities,in particular as a dogfighting aircraft,with it having argueably no equal. Initial combat trials were against the F-5 Aggressors at Alconbury,with a kill ratio in favour of the FRS.1 reading 12;1 9;3 and 6;6 giving an aggregate of 27 to 10.Next came the Bitburg F-15's for 2v2 combat,head on at 40nm.No head-on claims were made by the F-15's and the debrief concluded a 7 to 1 kill ratio in the SHAR's favour. Unfortunatly,Hermes basically ignored the air-defence tasking signals from Invincible that designated CAP stations for all SHAR's operating from both carriers to form an 'up-threat' barrier from the task force. Hermes also showed a distinct lack of faith in the SHARs' capability (remember that Hermes was the flag with a Rear-Admiral,not an aviator,and his staff) and also the Blue Fox radar,and did not bother to learn how to align their nav.+weapon system platforms.So,to most personnel in Hermes,the SHAR radar was "useless",and the nav. system "unreliable/unusable".This was the message given to the Admiral and his staff. This lack of faith in the radar by Hermes induced a lack of faith in the efficacy of a solid CAP barrier,evident on May 4th when the southerly CAP station was sent by Hermes on a wild goose chase looking (visually!!) for non-existant surface contacts which could easily have been verified on the SHARs' radar whilst on CAP! Whilst off station,the Etendard came in thruogh the gap and fired the Exocet that sank the Sheffield. Also,800 sqn refused to CAP at low level (801 CAP at 250ft "up-threat" around San-Carlos) preferring to sit above the task force at 20'000ft waiting to be called down when the amphib force came under attack.Three times 800 cost lives with thi policy-Coventry.was sunk when the N.W low-level CAP staion should have been filled with 800sqn,at 20'000ft they were too late to prevent the loss.The same happened with the Ardent, A-4's came in low-level thru the gap left by 800 and again with Sir Galahad+Sir Tristram,A-4's snuck in low level. I reckon if both 800/801 adopted the high-level CAP policy then more ships would have been lost and possibly a dismal defeat for the Brits. Incidentally,when the RAF Harrier force read the combat report against the Agressors and F-15's,an Air-Vice Marshall stormed into the Agressor squadron commanders' office demanding to know what the f**k was going on!!! Clearly the RAF didnt like the idea of the SHAR bettering their Harriers. And it was also the RAF that managed to stop the FRS.2 going into production. So what do we have now? Radar-less GR7/9s with no air-defence capability,no long range/over the horizon surveillance capability.......go figure.
