Hawker Hunter FGA.9 'Belize'
Spinners posted a topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - File Announcements
View File Hawker Hunter FGA.9 'Belize' Hawker Hunter FGA.9 'Belize' - Royal Air Force for STRIKE FIGHTERS 1 This is a very simple mod of the sublime Third Wire Hunter FGA.9 to enable you to fly a 1960's era Hunter with either No.1417 Flight based in Belize or No.1435 Flight based on the Falkland Islands. Both are very famous flights in the RAF but such deployments are, of course, fictional. For gameplay reasons, No.1417 Flight are squadron strength whilst No.1435 Flight are just a four-ship with Faith, Hope, Charity and Desperation tail codes! This will only work in 'Wings Over Europe' but you can, of course, also make it work in the other Third Wire Series One games by extracting and exporting all of the relevant files. INSTRUCTIONS 1. From the AIRCRAFT folder drag and drop the HunterFGA9b folder into your Aircraft folder. 2. From the DECALS folder drag and drop the HunterFGA9b into your Decals folder. Your stock Hunter FGA.9 will not be affected by this mod. CREDITS Thanks to TK for a great little game/sim. And thanks to everyone in the wider Third Wire community.

Hunter FGA.9 of No.6 squadron, Royal Air Force Middle East Command immediately prior to an armed reconnaissance mission over Paran. No.6 squadron never quite did operate the Hunter (operating Venoms, Canberras and Phantoms in the Hunter era) but their colourful and evocative markings are just too good to miss! Their popular nickname of 'The Flying Tin Openers' stems from tank-busting exploits using 40mm cannon equipped Hurricane IV's during the North African Desert campaign. -

Phantom FGR.5 - RAF Near East Air Force

View File Phantom FGR.5 - RAF Near East Air Force McDonnell Douglas Phantom FGR.5 - Royal Air Force Near East Air Force STRIKE FIGHTERS 1 Two simple modded skins for you to add to my McDonnell Douglas Phantom FGR.5 to place it in service with RAF Near East Command in the 1970's. This should work in all of Third Wire Series One games as it uses the ubiquitous F-4E. INSTRUCTIONS 1. Drag and drop the skin folders into your Phantom FGR.5 folder. The decals are contained within the skin folder but it is essential that you have my FGR.5 installed to get the common decals (national markings and serial numbers).

Problems with VOODOO weapons

No. TBH it was little more than a simple Canadian 'go faster stripe' decal and it looks like we'll have the real McCoy coming very soon. -
Phantom FGR.5 - RAF Near East Air Force
Spinners replied to Spinners's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - File Announcements
There's nothing there that can't be made to work with the 'old four' but I just wanted to do something for SF2 which I'm enjoying very much at the moment. I can't see why the decals and decal.ini's shouldn't work with any Third Wire F-4 skin and would look especially good on the Euro One camo in WOE. -

Sorry about the typo in the backstory. The corrected line should read like this; Indeed the engine was dramatically shorter and lighter than the J79 but of approximate equal diameter. That's the thing with Christmas and the New Year - too much alcohol! -
New CAT Pack extractor
Spinners replied to Piecemeal's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
Funnily enough, I've been playing around with that very same aircraft. You can make another version, with a slightly different name, and the changes are preserved. I'm sure we'll all get used to it. Hopefully, my RAF 'Phantom FGR.5' mod will be available for download in a few hours. -

SF2 and Directx 10
Spinners replied to Piecemeal's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
I'd love to know how the game looks in Vista with DX10. I can 'upgrade' to Vista for about £90 but some people reckon Vista is a COS and there's also talk of Vista's replacement coming sooner than expected. -

Phantom FGR.5's of No.112 squadron, Royal Air Force Middle East Command. The only mods currently in my SF2 are the exquisite F-101B and this 'what if' British J79 powered Phantom. Sometimes less is more! -
