Firing missiles in Salvo mode
Spectre_USA replied to Basher11's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
Why would you want to salvo missiles anyway? Unless you are using unlimited weapons, as the finite number precludes rippling them off unless you use them like rockets. In that case use, well, rockets, as you won't have any kind of guidance, save for the 1st locked one anyway. ___EDIT___ After seeing some of the more recent screen shots, I guess I see why. It must be something done routinely in the ACX series. Thankfully, this is not a console arcade game. Sim lite, yes, arcade blaster, not so much... -
FE Apr2008 patch question

Well, ya see, when a man loves, er... Actually, no, I cannot. Often wondered myself. -
EF-2000
Spectre_USA replied to Fubar512's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - File Announcements
I noticed the same thing in WoE, compared to WoI, where the readings are just fine. I reckon it will have to wait until a WoE patch comes out to bring it to WoI standards. No reason to re-program with the newer standard already complied with, ya know? -
WOE Crash!
Spectre_USA replied to Fida's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
You have a hoe to help fix it? Sorry, couldn't resist. Anyway, let's look at one at a time. You hit escape at the end of a mission, in the Gripen, and what happened, exactly? Black screen, MS error report? I realize that English is probably not your native language, but the more help you give us, the more we can help. -
A question about the MF weapons pack...
Spectre_USA replied to Rampstrike's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mods/Skinning Discussion
Hold over from WoV. Them graphics dudes can get awfully pricey, ya know? As to the refly button, it is my friend! The only way I would have gotten through my 1st 3 campaigns. Especially the A-10 one I whipped up. Be very selective of missions, deep strikes east or west of the Bekaa valley are to be avoided... -

Installing addon Aircraft help please?
Spectre_USA replied to UK_Widowmaker's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
Err, well, just hypothetically speaking, What would happen if you were to, say, change the years on a jet? Leaches, locusts, plague? I have a friend, yeah, that's it, a friend, who may have changed a few for campaign compatibility or summat... -
Aircraft prices in campaigns
Spectre_USA replied to WhiteBoySamurai's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mission/Campaign Building Discussion
That is one thing I played around with, early on, that is mercenary campaigns. I thought it gave a certain Strike Commander, an old DOS game, feel to it. Not to mention the ability to mix aircraft in a flight. I do wish the premise hadn't been abandoned, and would love to see some exploration of the inner workings, maybe to a point of re-incorporation. -
Operation: REFORGER II Notes
Spectre_USA replied to a topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mission/Campaign Building Discussion
@FC >Snag!< Sounds like my kinda campaign. You have dedication PFunk, I had always meant to make those changes to the Sov weapons, but just never got around to it. Probably use your labors for laterz, thanks for that at the very least! -

Rafale? I don't see one of those at his site, nor did I receive notice of one. Bummer... -
Made a quick 1st run, defensive patrol, and was pleasantly stunned! Looked nice, slightly better frames, and then ran into the enemy. Sicced my wingies on `em, and ended up bagging one, just as another killed my engine. Wow! Was over an Allied airbase, glided in and landed, then went to watch the show. Wingies had already torn up the other two, leaving one. Watched them work him, the lead guy peppered a few in, and peeled off. The guy behind did not open fire until the other Camel was clear, then pounded away. Final score? I got one, as did 2, and 3 got a pair to himself! I like it! And my briefing map did not show the big black blech in the middle anymore for my 8800 GTS card...

Patching Advice
Spectre_USA replied to Dave's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
Lemme see if I got this straight. Fresh install of WoI. Install Raptor and Typhoon, fire it up and blast some Arab scum from the skies! Install patch, watch it crash to desktop, then come here and b1tch about it? Gotcha! -
MAIN.INI file - Ground Objects
Spectre_USA replied to Basher11's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
I think it is in reference to whatever "main" ini there is for an object. To use your example, FROG-3.INI, as opposed to the FROG-3_DATA.INI. The Main, not the data, does that make sense? -
SCUD missile
Spectre_USA replied to Basher11's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
I think there is an add-on pack that has Kayushkas, and a more recent MRLS one. I ain't looking for it, so I will leave you to hit the search button. Up there, on the right... -

EF-2000
Spectre_USA replied to Fubar512's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - File Announcements
Excellent! Looks like an easy fix, will give it a go on the morrow. You know it was one heckuva release when the only b1tchin' I do is over swapped labels! You have a right to be proud, she is one beautiful baby, and the plethora of skins from the outset? Excellence! -
EF-2000
Spectre_USA replied to Fubar512's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - File Announcements
Speaking of waypoints, range and bearing, I notice the mid MFD has the values reversed. At least the labeling. The Artificial Horizon in the upper right shows the same numbers, same order, but unlabeled. Not even a biggie at all, just thought I'd mention it. I was going to rummage through the avionics.ini, but have been known to do BAD THINGS when I try... -
EF-2000 Progress
Spectre_USA replied to Bongodriver's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mods/Skinning Discussion
You are so close. Open the weapondata.ini, which is where you should have pasted the line from the readme.txt. If you numbered it correctly, you last entry should be Typhoon tanks. Save the file, it will compile, and you'll then have tanks in WoE. -
Attn: SFP1 Modding Community: New Campaign In Progress
Spectre_USA replied to a topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mission/Campaign Building Discussion
I like the sounds of this, as I've cobbled in the odd more modern aircraft to a campaign. Would love to see the Raptor there as well as the freshly released Typhoon. Impressive list which looks like it will be a hoot and a half. Looking forward to you class project PFunk... -
EF-2000 Progress
Spectre_USA replied to Bongodriver's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mods/Skinning Discussion
And that was a tough record to beat. Still lovin' the Raptor, as it has a nostalgia effect from the early combats sim days, along with this beauty. Great job on both these excellent jets, gentlemen! It's hard to believe it has been close to 15 years since we first saw these aircraft in a sim, and they are finally done well! -
