Campaign editor Files

It's the game itself saving during the campaign, not the customizer. Plus the files are not readable, unfortunately we don't know the format -
Strike Fighters 2 Screenshots

EDIT: Ooops, I was trying to post this in the AAR thread. Our mission is a deep strike inside Greece and the target is a factory in the Peloponnese peninsula. Our flight of two F-16C Blk 40 aircraft from 161.Filo Bats takeoff from our current base Balikesir. Heading west we go near the petro-chemical facilities near Izmir, on the Aegean coast. Now over the Izmir bay, we zip by a resupply harbour of the Turkish Navy. Lot's of activity down there. We turn South West to keep away from the closeby Island of Sakiz (Chiros). Blades of the wind turbines are lazy turning as we push the throttle to turn OUR turbines faster. Feet wet and out on to the dangerous waters. Many returns from the ground radar.. Ships of all kinds are sailing to their destinations. Now heading 270 West as our flight plan is to avoid flying over suspected air defenses. Though we know there is no safe air space around here. Soon enough we are being painted by a Hawk system. We get a tally on the hastily launched missile and watch as it arcs towards us, accelerating to 2.4 Mach. It almost gets one of us as I dump chaff and pull up sharply. We move quickly inland after this and passing over the high ridge I spot the factory. LANTIRN giving me perfect picture, target is being lased. Dropping my heavy GBU-10 bombs. The target before impact. Suddenly my wingman calls break! We head out jamming and dumping countermeasures. Meanwhile our escort is out and about looking for trouble. And they get it. F-5s are scrambling from Nea Anchialos. They roll in from above. One of the Phantom pilots breaks hard left as his WSO calls out a SAM launch! Me and my wingman leave a saturated air space behind us. All kinds of engaments are going on and many do not go back home that day. -
I have enough of this BS
PureBlue replied to Stary's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
+1 I'm so puzzled nolimitsonya gets a reply from TK for every fracking message he writes. Many many other basic questions from old members get ignored or a quick answer and its done. Then just because a handful (sometimes just one!) complain about a piece of code, TK goes out and changes unbroken stuff to satisfy... so we end up with broken patches.... What a waste of time replying to pages of threads instead of chasing bugs and improving on what we already have.. -

Turkish F-4 down on the Border with Syria....
PureBlue replied to Slartibartfast's topic in Military and General Aviation
It was an RF-4E of which the pilots are still Mia Unfortunetly. Turkish foreign minister announced plane was 13 miles outside of syrian waters which is considered int. waters. Syrians say it was shot down 1 km inside... Stil int. law dictates warning and other actions before shooting afaik. Aircraft was of 173.filo recce from Malatya. Turkish side flies similar routes regularly, feet wet over Iskenderun on sw course turning back over cyprus. -

Question about TEWS RWR
PureBlue replied to PureBlue's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
I think it depends on the particular system. Most systems I've researched lately, is told to display low threats on outer ring, the only reference I found with the reverse order: http://everything.explained.at/Radar_warning_receiver/ "The concentric rings on the display signify different 'lethality zones'. The outer ring signifies that the threat is beyond engagement range (ie the range it can engage you, not vice versa), the middle ring signifies that the threat is within engagement range, the inner ring equates to a 'no-escape' zone. In the example below, the SA-6 and F-15 are both well within the engagement zone and on the borderline of the 'no-escape' zone. This ordering of the rings applies to the AN/ALR-69 found in, for example, the F-16. However, some sources claim the order is reversed on the AN/ALR-67, with the 'critical' zone being the outer ring. In many ways this would make more sense, because it allows greater spacial separation of the highest priority threats on the display, allowing the pilot a greater degree of angular resolution when determining the direction of the threat."
