  1. I'm on it all the time and just love it but, for the moment, it's out there on its own - especially for campaigners and terrain guru's! My experience is that it runs smoother on Vista than any of the others did on XP on an identical PC (and quite a modest spec too).
  2. I've noticed that they are in SF2 as well - along with Shafir's and Mirage tanks, etc. It looks like 'stock' weapons will be common across the revamped Vista titles.
  3. pfunkmusik - your work on the knowledge base is very much appreciated! Well done.
  4. I do not care to belong to a club that accepts people like me as members Actually, I quite like it here.
  5. That boy's got issues...
  6. Red Eagle... Israeli style!
  7. In SF2 I've notice that the USAF F-4's with SEA Camo have the tank camo bitmaps in the aircraft skin folder. Presumably the US Navy tanks are default unless the game engine sees the tank bitmaps in the aircraft skin folder.
  8. Were they teamed up with F-4G's in a hunter/killer combo?
  9. That's good advice from the boys there and welcome to CombatACE GMagos. Practice makes perfect! And don't worry about your bad English - your post was actually rather good!
  10. View File F-111A skin - RAF No.6 Squadron This is a simple skin mod for the F-111A to give an RAF machine with markings for No.6 squadron. Serial numbers are now included but if you want a more comprehensive RAF F-111 then check out the F-111K pack! Just pop this skin in your F-111A folder and go save Dhimari. INSTRUCTIONS 1. Drop the skin folder '6RAF' into your F-111A folder. CREDITS Thanks to TK for a great little game/sim. And thanks to everyone in the wider Third Wire community.

  11. Fits the revamped FB-111A if you amend the decal.ini as follows; [Decal003] MeshName=LeftWingLong DecalLevel=0 DecalFacing=TOP FilenameFormat=Roundel Position=-4.300,-7.700 Scale=0.8 DecalMaxLOD=4 [Decal004] MeshName=RightWingLong DecalLevel=0 DecalFacing=TOP FilenameFormat=Roundel Position=4.300,-7.700 Scale=0.8 DecalMaxLOD=4 [Decal005] MeshName=LeftWingLong DecalLevel=0 DecalFacing=BOTTOM FilenameFormat=Roundel Position=-4.300,-7.700 Scale=0.8 DecalMaxLOD=4 [Decal006] MeshName=RightWingLong DecalLevel=0 DecalFacing=BOTTOM FilenameFormat=Roundel Position=4.300,-7.700 Scale=0.8 DecalMaxLOD=4
  13. I think that's available somewhere in the downloads section.
  14. This and the F-111C are the best looking F-111's in my opinion - I just love those long-span wings. I can't wait to get home from work to fly it (sigh, only another nine hours to go) but I've had a peek inside and that's a great looking skin. Good work Team Aardvark!
  15. How close to the edge of your decal 'square' is the image? Sometimes you get some bleeding out if you run too close to the edge.

  17. During the 1972 Dhimar emergency ex-USAF F-111A's were transferred to No.6 squadron, RAF Middle East Command pending the arrival of F-111K's. (Nurse.. my medicene please).
  18. A smilie might have helped!
  19. Is there a better aircraft for taking out runways? And those Dhimaris in the evil Comm building had better look out too
  20. A quick and dirty RAF F-111A (as opposed to an F-111K) for SF2. Oh, and I might do a Super Sabre FGA.2 which has the inflight refuelling probe re-instated for those long deployments to Dhimar or even 'Nam (Cheltenham)
  21. I'm grounded until lunchtime but would just like to thank everyone on the F-111A 'upgrade' team - it's great to have this as a complete package and I can't wait to fly this in the new WOV. Chapeau!

    North American Shark FGA.1 for STRIKE FIGHTERS 2 This is a very simple mod of the stock Third Wire F-100D to give a fictional North American Shark FGA.1 (I guess the RAF didn't fancy the 'Super Sabre' name) with markings for No.33, No.45 and No.58 squadrons of RAF Middle East Command. INSTRUCTIONS 1. From the AIRCRAFT folder drag and drop the SharkFGA1 folder into your Aircraft folder. 2. From the DECALS folder drag and drop the SharkFGA1 folder into your Decals folder. 3. From the WEAPONS folder drag and drop the two files into your Weapons folder. That's it! CREDITS As always, thanks to Third Wire for a great little game/sim. And, finally, thanks to everyone in the wider Third Wire community. Regards Spinners Version 3 - November 13th, 2023

  23. Poor FPS

    Spinners replied to DamonSchumi's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion

    SF2 runs better on Vista than the 'old games' did on XP (using exactly the same PC). I now play with shadows and mirrors ON and get the same speeds that I used to get with them OFF. Why? I haven't a scooby!
  24. I use The Gimp but struggled to grasp things at first before posting a question at The Simmers Paint Shop and the advice there put me on the right road. I'm not sure about CS3 but it's worth a shot. Incidentally, I bought Photoshop Elements last year but find The Gimp so much easier!
  25. Rapier FGA.1 of No.67 squadron, RAF Middle East Command, Dhimar, 1964.
