For those recently affected by the Civ III model porting incident.
Spectre_USA replied to FastCargo's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mods/Skinning Discussion
The very same question I had, so I Googled it. If there are any serious mods out there for it using jets, then they are well advanced over the timelines I saw in the base game. I also saw there is a 4 & 5, with other off-shoots. Never did play any of the Civ series, looked to much like Sim City to me, but I've heard good things about it over the years... -
No desktop icons after putting pc in sleep mode in vista
Spectre_USA replied to dsawan's topic in Hardware/Software Chat
If it isn't a laptop, why are you even putting it into sleep mode? I can see if you want to save the monitor from burn-in, but the screen saver will do that. As there is no battery to save, I never put my gaming rig in sleep mode. I went to the point of changing power settings to never and never. Windows and hibernate or sleep have been imperfect sciences since they debuted in Win95, IIRC... -
We Did It!
Spectre_USA replied to Dave's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
Just shattered that 3 MILLION mark. Many thanks for hosting this yummy aero-geekery for us pointy-headed slobinikrons... -
FAC Aircraft
Spectre_USA replied to RAVEN's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
I think TK was trying to get them to work correctly, hit a brick wall of some sort, and ripped out all functionality. Either that or a fix for something else broke it, like the "Y" key to lock your wingmen up. I miss that one more than the FAC... -
Groom Lake 196X...

Yee-haw! The Habu lives! I can't wait to wind this puppy up, wall or no wall... -
Swing Wing Phantom
Spectre_USA replied to charlielima's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Sci-Fi/Anime/What If Forum
A super-sonic Spectre? I could work with that... -
The Tomcat's gone...
Spectre_USA replied to Fubar512's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Sci-Fi/Anime/What If Forum
Yeah, yeah, what Marfor said! That will fit very nicely into the modern campaigns I've been flying for the last few months. VERY nicely! Is the Air Force going to get a little love, or is this a Navy show? -
Mission Log
Spectre_USA replied to UnknownPilot's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mission/Campaign Building Discussion
Not that I'm aware of, but it took 9 years to get the save mission button, so I wouldn't recommend holding your breath... -
SF2 Strike Fighters 2 Israel Mar 2010 Patch Is Out
Spectre_USA replied to Dave's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
Shoot. I wanted my "Y" key back, but not at this price. 1 step forward, 2 steps back... -
FAC Aircraft
Spectre_USA replied to RAVEN's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
But, and it's a big, fat, hairy one, it will never actually do FAC missions. That capability was torn out in the late SF1 days, and never worked in any SF2 titles. Sure, they never actually went in and marked targets, but having `em zip around the area was kind of cool. Added a touch of atmosphere as you ran in and saw him circling, along with the callouts for stuff he wasn't actually doing... -
Does Anyone Have This File?
Spectre_USA replied to Dave's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
Okey-doky, here `tis... CVN75.zip -
B-1B Lancer Cockpit
Spectre_USA replied to Gabriele's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
OK, Sabres and stuff, that works too. With a bit of tweaking, since you lads are doing the heavy lifting, I am sure I could create a more modern scenario... -
Does Anyone Have This File?
Spectre_USA replied to Dave's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
Well, I did a remote to my server at home and did a search via LogmeIn,and found a CVN75 directory from WarForIsrael for SF2. Would that do? If so, I can zip it up... -
B-1B Lancer Cockpit
Spectre_USA replied to Gabriele's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
The Wrench-man's description has me fairly salivating! I could dig a re-live of the ol' Falcon 4 days with all kinds of excellent jets, targets, etc. 2 weeks, yeah? -
SF2 Strike Fighters 2 Israel Mar 2010 Patch Is Out
Spectre_USA replied to Dave's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
Oh, hell yeah! I have had so many near hits while in the landing pattern due to this having gone away. Bravo! And what a coincidence. I just built a new gaming rig, and the first thing I installed was SF2:E. Took my first flight in the TSR2 on the range. -
Permission Needed
Spectre_USA replied to Veltro2k's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Prop Heads Forum
A big +1 to that. Don't let some dimwads from another forum grief you, Ed. The fact that they have a bad case of cranial rectitus is their problem, not yours... -
PakFa is comming...
Spectre_USA replied to AleDucat's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
That 2nd shot is just awesome! -

The Master of `what-if' strikes again! Looks like a very good crop, Spinners. Many thanks... -
So, do ya think TK can stimulate this?
Spectre_USA posted a topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
I kid on the subject title, but this little demo from Northrop Grumman is just jaw-dropping, IMHO... The F-35 distributed aperture system (DAS) Or maybe Thirdwire could create a dedicated F-35 sim, yeah? -
Carrier Operations
Spectre_USA replied to Fieldtrail's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
^^ This. ^^ I am still digging the stuffings out of this save feature. The fact that they are text editable, and singles allow mixed aircraft flights, it is the coolest darned thing since sliced bread! -
Wings Of Prey environment in SF
Spectre_USA replied to squid's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mods/Skinning Discussion
I also ran through the demo and was impressed with your two points. Graphically beautiful, yet sizzling framerates, a combo rarely seem together. It may be a little lacking in the realism sector, from reviews I've seen, but I may have to pick it up just `coz it looks so good. TK is supposed to be conjuring up some new terrain graphics, which I hope are comparable... -
Seeing flashing white dots
Spectre_USA replied to FalconC45's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mods/Skinning Discussion
Plus one to the above, I thought it was some kind of streak ripping by my `pit, like small arms or summat. The only trouble was that it was happening right after take-off, with no known enemies... -

Oh, well, the rear stab is, er, no... Ermm, that pod is, well, not it either. OK, I got nuthin'... -

Love that 1st trio of Alaska Eagles, looks like a pair of ghosts in formation... -

Long overdue aircraft for this series, and looking mighty fine Veltro2K!
