Low altitude bombing?
Talon_ replied to tn_prvteye's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
AI seems a little too limited for that. They get antsy flying under 2000 feet! -
JAS 39C Gripen Progress

Cite sources, or this means nothing. I currently don't trust you. -
Just a little plane I've flown once or twice...(pictures)

Academy! I live right across "the I," I can see it from here. I'm applying, chances aren't the best, but that's what everyone faces, I guess. No doubt I'll be part of the 80 ish percent that are rejected. Trying for ROTC too, there's so many possibilities for me right now, not all military. -
Hamachi online play

Cool, i'll try it. I've got WOE only... and I'll need to do a separate clean install... -

"See what I see?" What are you, Flight Instructor or Bone pilot?? -

Beauuuuutyyyy.... I see a smurf! Are you sure that's not too many polys...? Looks a tiny bit inefficient. Beautiful though. Can't wait to see some skins. -

Why the HECK won't helos work in WOE? -

If you want any information on the Falklands conflict in general, let me know, Rover Mirage. I have some decent reference material. -
Sidewinder lock w/F100

I was thinking more in-game... that's a bummer... -
KMD Editor Question
Talon_ replied to Kaizer's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mission/Campaign Building Discussion
Woops, sorry, I meant to type 7... Why is it always the numbers that I miss!? Chuck Norris, however, launches the Gammon from his shoulder.... :yes: -

Sidewinder lock w/F100

Is it possible to uncage a sidewinder in WOE? -
South Atlantic Terrain
Talon_ replied to Rover's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mods/Skinning Discussion
No puedo esperar! It should work in all versions, right? That's how the series functions, cross-compatability. -
JAS 39C Gripen Progress
Talon_ replied to Gux's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mods/Skinning Discussion
Had. I'll go look. It's very much comparable to the F-16, in fact, almost identical. -
Which is the best one
Talon_ replied to Silverbolt's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
Is it really really good? I mean, no more stupid info box in the corner, captures the feeling, feels like the first time good? -
Best way to deploy Cluster Munitions
Talon_ replied to Tantobot's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
Lol. SFW is a sweet deal. How many can the Bone load? Are they usually laid down in pairs with a long ripple? A good guy I know flew the Bone in Desert Storm, has horror stories about levelling Iraqi guards at night with CBUs, getting the 100% BDA report... :( He retired pretty shortly afterward, couldn't stomach it, I think. On topic... Can you adjust ripple interval and/or burst alt in WOE? Really the best way to do it is get them timed out to saturate the whole target area in one pass, if you can. Any more time spent in the target area is just putting yourself at risk. (Onepasshaulass) -

RWR stands for Radar Warning Receiver. You will hear tones (at least in real life) when a radar beam passes over your aircraft. The tone will become more intense when you are locked. By monitoring the sources of radar beams hitting your aircraft, the system is able to tell you the bearing and threat level of each return. It does not measure distances however. So when you look at the RWR, and you see a blip that is closer to you than another, it does not mean that emitter is closer to you, it means that he is a greater threat. The RWR monitors each return for signs of a launch, generally the lock/activation of a radar-guided missile, ARH or SARH these days. Because these missiles (and the aircraft firing them) send out special signals when they are launched, the RWR will let you know. However, if the missile is a passive seeker, infra-red like the sidewinder, or Electro-optical like assorted SAM loads, you will receive no warning. It does not send anything out, just takes things in, like your heat signature, or visible shape. So they're extra dangerous, but also easier to fool, if you notice them at all. That's the danger of a MANPAD like the SA-5 (I believe is used in WOE, correct?), hand-launched and with no warning, it's very easy to miss. -
mirage 2000
Talon_ replied to aleks's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
Those look awesome. To be honest, I know nothing of putting a model into a game, or of texturing, but if you give me a wireframe image export and a model to test with, I'll make some good textures. -
Is this feasible? Something like a gun pod that shoots harmless and invisible projectiles at a 1 round per year rate of fire, yet smokes horribly while the trigger is depressed?

True, I'm sorry. -
Carrier Won't Appear in WoE campaign
Talon_ replied to bcyc's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mission/Campaign Building Discussion
Still haven't got it to work... I may just go back to the start and try all over again. -
JAS 39C Gripen Progress
Talon_ replied to Gux's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mods/Skinning Discussion
No doubt it will. But I don't see a reason why the 9x would be used in favor of the IRIS-T. -

That is recent experience. We (the US) are still learning from mistakes made in Vietnam. You cannot underestimate history. I don't want to sound rude, but don't say things like that unless you're a little more sure. Israel is often attributed with the world's best urban combat infantry. -
mirage 2000
Talon_ replied to aleks's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
Something I don't understand about TK... If he does FM updates for WOI, and then releases the sim, will he go back and release a patch for SFP1/WOV/WOE to bring them up to date? Is he just that amazing?
