Crusaders? (Planes and Skins)
Icarus999 replied to Dave's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
Cool... I guess I misread the yap policy. Any chance we could talk you into sharing those awesome naval reserve low vis RF-8G skins, they really kick butt. -
You are on to something here Typhoid, veterans groups and current members of the armed forces should be demanding the resignation of Political Opportunists and traitors such as Senator Harry Reed, pressure should be applied to the extent that the media is forced to cover the facts of the issue. Imagine how the media would cover of thousands of veterans in uniform marching on Washington, is an idea who's time has come if you ask me.

I need to get a life...

Nice job on the Saegheh, dont take this the wrong way but i'm going to take great pleasure in blowing it out of the sky if you release it :ph34r: -
Fubar is Right!!!! This really pisses me off. How could this kid be saddled with a weapons related suspension? It is a spent blank cartrige!!! This is not the country I grew up in the fact is that we seem to have lost the ability to teach rational thinking. My 8th grade drafting teacher had an inert 20mm cannon shell as his paper weight. I had a history teacher that had a dummy pineapple grenade on his desk. This crap is nonsense and untill we remember how to act like our grandfathers did- like men who have nuts- and take these bastards to task this crap is only going to get worse. This is not about the empty shell- even the mean faced woman with the short cropped hair that confiscated the blank Knew it was not dangerous to the students. It is about forcing the idea into kids minds that firearms have no place in society. These idiots live in a mindset where all fighting is inexusable violence and self defence is a foreign concept that is dangerous to the herd as a whole. They kick military recruters and the boy scouts off of school grounds because the young men who seek out their guidence develop honor, become self disciplined and sprout NUTS. Gentlemen I really think we need to take a good look at the country we grew up in as boys and then think about the country we are passing on to our sons.

Crusaders? (Planes and Skins)
Icarus999 replied to Dave's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
This is a really nice skin Dave, and so are Gocad's low vis RF-8 style skins for the mirage factory F-8E. I really like YAP and I understand and agree with the policy to protect their objects, but I really hope that at some point they allow people to upload skins for their aircraft. A whole lot of us have bought YAP and are looking forward to YAP 2 they have a loyal customer base. Now i understand that they are strongly against anyone modifying their missions into something that is historically incorrect (because their missions tell the stories of men who risked their lives to serve their country) but aircraft like the RF-8G remained in service for 15 years after the wars end. One would think they might be able to through their customers a bone here. In fact the skins would be useless to anyone who has not bought YAP so unless I am totally missing something here the skinning policy- as I understand it- seems to be seems a bit restrictive. -
How to convert AV-8B+ to AV-8B...?
Icarus999 replied to malibu43's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mods/Skinning Discussion
If I remember correctly bobrock Also had a standard AV-8B as a work in progress... not positive but I think he had 2 threads going on here one was B+ and the other was B. And yes the standard AV-8B can carry the maverick. -

Is it possible to assign an AI flight secondary targets?
Icarus999 posted a topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
I use Le Missioneur to create my missions and it seems that only one target can be assigned to each flight. an airbase may contain multiple sams radars and AAA but only one of those targets can be highlighted as the objective. The same problem seems to be present if I direct the flight to a nearby secondary target area if i highlight a new target it seems that the first one is deselected in favor of the new one. Also my AI SEAD missions, are leaving much to be desired as many aircraft do not engage enemy radars, and return to base with a full load of anti radiation missiles. Perhaps this is a multiple targeting issue as well. In past missions I am pretty sure that I have seen AI aircraft carrying HARM's engage any radar that lit them up... is there a way to make the SEAD aircraft more aggressive? Are there any editing tricks or mods that will allow me to assign multiple targets to one flight of strike aircraft? -
Is it possible to assign an AI flight secondary targets?
Icarus999 replied to Icarus999's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
thanks for responding MAKO69, I am talking about mission building and the ability to construct a mission in wich an AI flight is directed to a secondary target in the mission planning. It looks to me as if the game will not support this but I thought I would ask those with a lot more experience in mission building that myself if there are any edits or tricks to pull this off. the misson building section in the KB seems to have gone past the cut off date -
OMG that was funny great video. I don't come here to argue politics so I will just say that It is hard to believe these 3 candidates are the best our country can do. Clinton- Do we really want to relive the politically correct 90's?- Has accomplished nothing - no ethics no honor -belives that reality is what you make of it- leftist ideologue, but will betray her base in a heartbeat Obama= Racist- He should make David Duke his VP and that crazy Mexican supremacist professor Jose Angel Guiterez from the university of Texas at Arlington could be his secretary of hate . But beyond his Separatist and anti American belief system -He has accomplished nothing and is a leftist ideologue. McCain- A history of seriously bad judgment when it comes to his senate voting record and the bills he has sponsored. What we need is a provision to vote for "None of the above" on the ballot.

I'm having a problem upgrading F-14A to f-14D
Icarus999 posted a topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
I believe i have followed all of the instructions here- i have taken all of the files from the mirage factory F-14A and placed them in a folder remamed f-14d- all LODs were replaced with the ones from the Iran tomcat by MF as per insrtuctions the new F-14D data was added to the data files and all of the new files from the F-14D mod were added to the folder- the game does not recognise and load the F-14D for selection in single mission play. this is the A/B/D mod- could some one set me straight on this upgrade? the insructions read as follows- F-14A/B/D there are 3mods f-14a high viz color f-14b low viz color f-14d low viz color f-14a and f-14b are the same mod the only difference are the colors select the CONTENT of the selected F-14 aircraft folder and copy it into your aircraft folder what you need: You have to get the LOD.FILE´S only from the F-14A IAF (IRAN) and drop it in to your F-14A/B or D folder the F-14A IAF is available here in the download section and at Column5 one of this line´s below you have to add to the NOSE section in the DATA.INI select the one that you need for the aircraft you gone make SystemName[009]=F14A SystemName[009]=F14B SystemName[009]=F14D [Nose] ParentComponentName=Fuselage ModelNodeName=nose DamageRating=DESTROYED MassFraction=0.262 HasAeroCoefficients=FALSE MinExtentPosition=-0.473, 9.1,0.339 MaxExtentPosition= 0.683,0.783,-0.426 CollisionPoint[001]= 0.00, 9.0,0.3 CollisionPoint[002]= 0.00, 9.0,0.25 CollisionPoint[003]= 0.00, 0.7,-0.406 SystemName[001]=InternalGun SystemName[002]=FuselageFuelCell1 SystemName[003]=Pilot SystemName[004]=CoPilot SystemName[005]=NoseGear SystemName[006]=Canopy SystemName[007]=BottomFuselageLight1 SystemName[008]=GearLight SystemName[009]=F14D you have to add the line HERE __________________________________________________________________________________ one of this entry below you have to add to the Crew section in the DATA.INI select the one that you need for the aircraft you gone make [F14A] PilotModelName=F14A SystemType=PILOT_COCKPIT Position=0.0,0.0,0.0 [F14B] PilotModelName=F14B SystemType=PILOT_COCKPIT Position=0.0,0.0,0.0 [F14D] PilotModelName=F14D SystemType=PILOT_COCKPIT Position=0.0,0.0,0.0 // Crew --------------------------------------------------------- [Pilot] SystemType=PILOT_COCKPIT PilotModelName=PilotV1 Position=0.0,4.95,1.38 SeatModelName=seat_f-4 SeatPosition=0.00,4.89,0.94 MinExtentPosition=-0.329, 4.637,1.344 MaxExtentPosition= 0.329, 5.522,0.43 CanopyNodeName=canopy HasArmor=TRUE ArmorMaterial=GLASS Armor[FRONT].Thickness=20 [CoPilot] SystemType=PILOT_COCKPIT PilotModelName=PilotV1 Position=0.0,3.25,1.36 SeatModelName=seat_f-4 SeatPosition=0.0,3.21,0.94 MinExtentPosition=-0.329, 3.437,0.43 MaxExtentPosition= 0.329, 2.373,1.364 CanopyNodeName=canopy [F14D] PilotModelName=F14D SystemType=PILOT_COCKPIT you have to add the entry HERE Position=0.0,0.0,0.0 // Engines --------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________________________________________ copy the entry in to the ligths section and REPLACE the existing one with the one below // feux avant pod ECM [bottomFuselageLight1] SystemType=LIGHT Color=0.98,0.5,0.5 Brightness=0.02 Position=0.0,7.49,-0.60 LightSrcOffset=0.0,0.0,-0.1 LightSrcRange=0.5 CanFlash=TRUE FlashTime=0.70 ======== I followed all of these steps, I cannot seem to figure out what i did wrong. -

I am tooling up to build a 1/48 scale model of the f-101b and while doing some research i found a page dedicated to this kick butt 101B model that a pro modeler had built. I thought it might give you some skinning inspiration. f-101b scale model link -
Desert Storm Update
Icarus999 replied to Dave's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
That is a fantastic idea for a mod Silverbolt, can you imagine the eye candy of those 16" guns blazing away in game . And what about all those tomahawk launchers . Seriously though it is one of those mods like the B-1B B-2 or F-117 that are just so desireable that it is suprising that no one has made one. Then again with the level of detail required to mod the USS Missouri as she was.. near the end of her carrer the project would be so labor intensive that it would take up all of a persons free time to complete it. I really hope that there is some one out there with the talent and the time to make this one a reality. -
[quote name='Julhelm' date='May 23 2008, 11:13 PM' post='16188 McCarthy era revisited. The funny thing was that with the collapse of the solviet union we learned thru doccuments and former high level KGB personel that McCarthy was not a nut after all and that almost everything he was saying about solviet operatives, government/media infiltration and the American Communist Party turned out to be spot on. What we are facing now is far worse than the McCarty trials we have 2 political parties who put the survival of thier political party before loyalty to this country.... and they see the bill of rights as tool to divide the people rather than unite them. They use tools like civilian disarmament(gun control) and Abortion rights or to keep people pointing fingers at each other screaming you god damned ( insert political party here) you are to blame for the country going to hell. The average american has never taken the time to fully grasp profound nature of the bill of rights, what is worse is that they seem content to let the government/ media define these rights when there is no shortage of written record as to the founding fathers intent with all ten articals of the bill of rights.The problem is that many in government and the media are not only aware of the founders intent they are vehemently opposed to it, they play into the ignorance of the average voter and whip up emotional issues to further cloud the minds of sheep who are willing to trade liberty for the promise of security. This was never intended to be a democracy where a majority of idiots is able to scuttle the rights of all americans, this is a free republic. The one thing that is a constant is that we Americans are losing our freedom, in the Clinton years it was a constant assault on the rights cherished by traditionalists or people from the center to the right and you did not here a peep out of the left about attacks on those right wingers constitutional rights. In the bush years freedoms cherished buy leftwingers and self proffessed "intelectuals" or progressives came under fire, however the difference here was that with some of these infringements some very conservitive voices were heard joining the liberals in condeming the current march tward a police state. Take a good look at the recent past and learn from it, the more we can find common ground and protect each others freedom the better. It would be nice if some of the folks on the left would wake up in the same way that many conservitves have as it pertains to working together to protect each others rights. my political views are liberetarian and i have freinds on the right and the left and while my leftist friends and coworkers think my " open mindedness" is great when it comes to helping them fight the patriot Act- I would be really shocked if any of them raised a finger to protect the second ammendment or any other rights wich they do not agree with. Sorry about the rant.... I will get off the soap box now

The best WOV experience

Yap is your best bet, spend the money and the time to install... its worth it. Also once you fully mod out your game the lite sim factor goes away in many respects. -
