Evading SAM & Air to Air Missles
Spectre_USA replied to TheStig's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
If you are going to get in the weeds, stay away from population centers. They tend to have little zipperheads ready to stitch you a new one. I cannot describe how many times I was down there blasting along, hear the tell-tale >plink-clink< and get a view of my smoking jet in a low arc. I usually just sit there dumb founded for a second or 3 and let out an Aaa-aaw... -
Screenshot Thread
Spectre_USA replied to Dave's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
Wow! I am not particularly a fan of either the F-86K, nor the RCAF, though I'm fond of both, but that combination is killer cool, Spinners! Very nicely done... -
Adding weapons WITHOUT weaponspack
Spectre_USA replied to Rambler 1-1's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
Sorry, yeah, the one for the Sep patch is the latest. Just don't use one from `06, it will kill your weapons capability. And it isn't technically an INI editor. When you save it creates the weapons.dat, which is what the game reads. -
Adding weapons WITHOUT weaponspack
Spectre_USA replied to Rambler 1-1's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
That last by FC is a biggie. Also, all you need is the one patch for SF:P1, no need to do all the priors. Get the latest, use the "new" weapons editor, and you're golden... -
Campaign editing
Spectre_USA replied to ST0RM's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mission/Campaign Building Discussion
Well, you can always tweak the percentages below to get more or less of certain types of missions. At least, if that is what you are talking about. I just do mild tweaks, I leave the sparkly stuff to the guys around here with big brains... -
Campaign editing
Spectre_USA replied to ST0RM's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mission/Campaign Building Discussion
Does it need to be an addition? I usually replace the aircraft instead, as there is less messing around. Just replace the designation "F-4E_Kurnass" with the EXACT name of the desired replacement, it should show up under the squadron name under the campaign menu. At least that is what I've done to add variety and new aircraft to campaigns... -
Thirdwire's latest patch and old campaigns
Spectre_USA replied to MK2's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
Hey MK2, long time no see. As to the campaigns versus the newest patches, I have tried a couple of my cobbled together campaigns out, and they seem OK, but are based on stock ones with ini tweaks for dates, airframes and a little node work. Have you checked the (long) official patch threads? I dare not tread there, it looks like it may suck me in forever! Don't be a stranger, eh? PS I havbe heard good things about the Fallout3 gameplay, as the guys at my regular hangout are always talking about it... -
best downloads
Spectre_USA replied to Romflyer's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
All good suggestions, and if you have any prior history, ie OLD, like me, you gotta get the Typhoon by BongoDriver; EF2000 One exceedingly well done piece of kit. -
Easy Question
Spectre_USA replied to Spiff's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
Emotionally Mistreated Delinquent? It was probably not nurtured properly by the famial unit or some other such twaddle. I am sure, however, it is French, and thereby uninterpretable. It is also worthless as a missile. Thus the reason for sentence one. Repeat... -
Slight millisecond stutter when glying sfp 1 installs.
Spectre_USA replied to dsawan's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
Nossirree, there is an Oct 08 patch specifically for SF:P1. Right here. Amazing to pull a jet sim from 6 years ago to 2008 standards, eh? -
Oct 2008 patches
Spectre_USA replied to Commander31's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
I brought this up in Thirdwire's WoI forums, but it seems to have fallen on deaf ears. I knew my habit of leaving all on normal, except for HUD, would bite my arse someday. Would love a menu setting that says, "just like the 1st 7 years of this series" or some such to return them to as you've described... -
I made a new map!
Spectre_USA replied to Wrench's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mods/Skinning Discussion
I like gwar's guesses! They remind me of the funny Jack in the Box commercials I saw during football yesterday. What goes in these bowls? Sparkles, pebbles, Rain, etc. I'll through my shot out here, the Philippines? -
TU-95 Bear Update

Need a little assistance from our Spanish friends
Spectre_USA replied to Wrench's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mods/Skinning Discussion
That is kind of whaty I had hoped to do, modernize the Spain maps airfields with MiG's and Hinds yo shoot at, but it will require a LOT of work, I have come to find. Removing them was easy enough during my experiments, as aircraft it doesn't understand wipes `em out as well! -

Spectre_USA replied to Wrench's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mods/Skinning Discussion
Has anyone seen the Capun's crew Spanish Civil War available download? I grabbed it for the terrain, but they have WW2 era aircraft placed on airfields, and I'm more of a jet guy. Very nice terrain, I hasten to add... -

Done well? I like my MiG's well done! PS, is this isn't politically correct enough for some of you damsels out there, I invite you to kiss a Sidewinder. That is all... -
Landing while damaged
Spectre_USA replied to MaverickMike's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
If you check the debrief on those bravely saving the airframe missions, you will usually find that you died WAY back at the scene of the accident. At least in a fighter. In a bomber, like the above bitmap, maybe you'll only be injured... -
