F-4F 35th TFW George AFB
Spectre_USA replied to Soulfreak's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - File Announcements
Small point, from 74 - 78 there was no ACC, it was TAC. Similar, but slightly different patch. -
MiG-9 WIP
Spectre_USA replied to Timmy's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mods/Skinning Discussion
1st try p1oppy? One heckuva debut in aluminum! `Course, I'll be punching holes in it, but it will look great going down! -
Take a guess

A semi-modern Israeli/Arab campaign? Hoo-yeah, bring it on buddy! -
That was pretty flippin' cool!

BRAKECHUTES
Spectre_USA replied to Veltro2k's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mods/Skinning Discussion
I don't know if that has been cracked yet, been hoping for one since the dawn of Thirdwire. I imagine that there has to be multiple views, for a lack the proper name, in the 3D animation. Something with this seems seriously borked, as it has been a LONG time without. Bottom line, I dunno. Aren't you glad I stopped by? -
F-16F
Spectre_USA replied to Jimbib's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mods/Skinning Discussion
As does the F-16I, for that matter. -
Nellis AFB, 1959 LIVE FIRE Air show!
Spectre_USA posted a topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
So, you like the era that WoE and WoV are modeled around? Neal Boortz has a short video of what was called the Flight Congress here; http://boortz.com/more/video/nellis_afb_1959.html And they actually show missile, rocket and napalm releases! -
Nellis AFB, 1959 LIVE FIRE Air show!
Spectre_USA replied to Spectre_USA's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
I doubt it. I hear the only live fire shows still going on are in Switzerland, of all places. They usually do that chumpy Hollywood deal with a gadzillion gallons of gas, and touch it off when some aircraft makes a low pass. Big whoop. Do you know they cancelled the Fairchild AFB airshow 2 weekends ago, with no notice? I checked the local paper on Thursday, showed up with the whole fam-damily on Saturday morn', and they said, "sorry, the paper made a mistake. It is postponed until next year." Postponed? Sounds like cancelled! And on the 60th Anniversary of the USAF? I am deeply appalled. I wanted to see the Raptor in real life, and the OV-22 was to make an appearance. Badly miffed, I am. -
F-16F
Spectre_USA replied to Jimbib's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mods/Skinning Discussion
Zoinks! This looks mighty fine! I hope there is a (fictitious) USAF version. -
Dang, BLT, you've gone Ballistic!
Spectre_USA posted a topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
I am used to the odd drib and drab of new, cool stuff hereabouts, but a whole flappin' page? You've been busy! -
Dang, BLT, you've gone Ballistic!
Spectre_USA replied to Spectre_USA's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
Yeah, I figured that, got most of it already. Looked like a consolidation to me, and as previously stated, a whole lot of work. Good on ya. -
MV-22 Osprey "In-Game" shots...
Spectre_USA replied to Zurawski's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mods/Skinning Discussion
That is gonna be one tough one to master! But fun to try to. -

Just wanting to know...
Spectre_USA replied to cgold's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
Are they the same ones that are in the NATO fighters campaign? If so, yeah, they work! Too well, as there is a site or two by the border that have been "captured" or some such, and unload on you, with good effect on the wingies. -
Holy, this thing can move
Spectre_USA replied to a topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
Ran into my first Foxhound interceptors while flying Falcons over Israel 2. They deked us with a pair of Yak-141's and then came BLOWIN' up our sixes! I had just popped a Yak, and was rolling in on the 2nd when I got a Radar alert and broke off, and down. Sent my wingie after the shipping targets, and loosed my mavericks quickly. Popped up to engage the `31's, but they were orbiting at about 1700 knots!!! Tossed a Sparrow, then my last sidewinder, after gettin a good tone. Never came close. Definitely puts a new perspective on dogfighting, incredibly cool! -
Nose_Art for P-38H
Spectre_USA replied to scrapper's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - File Announcements
Ah ha! That's where they hid `em! I was looking for P-38, not a pack. I never got into the WW2 props for this sim, but may have to now. Thanks for th tip, BwF. -
Nose_Art for P-38H
Spectre_USA replied to scrapper's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - File Announcements
Er, just to be a pain, where is a good place to find Wolf's P-38's? I just got the new Saitek yoke sent to me for review, and the Lightning would be a great system to test it out in. With your fine new skin, of course! -
WOV/SFP1 - On a stick!
Spectre_USA replied to FastCargo's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
Once 8 GB flash drives are cheap enough, I may have to try it! Yeah, I gotta have all the candy or it just ain't as cool. My 80 GB external 2.5" drive may fit the bill though... -
A half dozen BlitzPigs got together there last summer. A very cool place for a virtual squadron to hook up! I had pics up, but our servers changed about 6 months ago and are no longer hosted.

That is looking mighty fine so far. Keep up the good Voodoo that you do... -
10 new airbases for SFP1/WOE
Spectre_USA replied to Gepard's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - File Announcements
Hoo-yeah! This looks GREAT! I've only ever been to one of these bases IRL, Alhorn, which was a FOL for the 81st TFW out of RAF Bentwaters/Woodbridge. It will be cool to see it in game. I hope the other 3 FOL's get your attention in future work. Sembach, Leipheim, and Norvenich. ___EDIT___ Swapped out Alhorn and Norvenich, as I realized which one you had done. I interchange them, as they were both Woodbridges WAFOLS, not Bentwaters, which is where I was stationed. -
Edward's Timor?
Spectre_USA posted a topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
Hi-yo! I have recently heard in a thread something about a Timor terrain? I must've missed it, as it seems some time ago. Search lead to little, just references. There was this one cool old simulation featuring AV-8B Harriers called, IIRC, AV-8B Harriers. It was based on a carrier to start, off of East Timor. The first 1/3 was cool, but when you got past that, you got raped. I would love to relive that game, without the rapeage. Anyone know where that terrain/campaign can be had?
