  2. I was just wondering if there's any point in upgrading my monitor from 27" (1920 x 1080p) to perhaps a 28"/32" 4K Ultra HD 3840 x 2160p? Don't focus on the screensize - focus on the resolution. Does the game even support it? Meant to add that my graphics card is NVIDEA GeForce GTX1050.

    Gloster F-73C Meteor for STRIKE FIGHTERS 2 N.B. Requires SF2 Expansion Pack 1 This is a simple mod of the stock Gloster Meteor F.8 to give a 'what if' Meteor in USAF service with markings for the 51st Fighter Interceptor Wing. INSTRUCTIONS 1. From the AIRCRAFT folder drag and drop the F-73C folder into your Aircraft folder. 2. From the DECALS folder drag and drop the F-73C folder into your Decals folder. That's it! CREDITS Thanks to jorel62 at the 'what if modelers' website for the inspirational profile drawing. BIG THANKS to TK for the continuous improvement of a great little game/sim. And, finally, thanks to everyone in the wider Third Wire community. Regards Spinners Version 1 - 08/11/11

  4. [Fictional] Gloster F-73C Meteor

    Spinners commented on Spinners's file in What If Hangar

    Yes, but it was more for short-term evaluation than any potential purchase. 'The Gloster Meteor' by Edward Shacklady (the Meteor bible) further explains that this was a temporary swap-over with Meteor and Airacomet going back to their homelands.
  5. I think you're on your way! Well done.
  6. @A48Racing - You do seem to be wanting to run before you walk. So just enjoy playing the game, adding a few mods to learn the file structure and, trust me, it will soon become clear and second nature. I started by playing around with the decals.ini to put stock decals where they shouldn't go but this game/sim really took off for me when I taught myself how to make my own decals and skinning soon followed although I often save time by overpainting national insignia and adding my own either directly onto the skin textures or by decals. You'll learn a hell of a lot just by downloading a template(s) (like sundowner's Phantom templates) and seeing how they work. GIMP is absolutely fine to start with. Indeed, 12 years later, I've never felt the need to move on to something better and for decals it is quite simple and very fast if you set your default image (in preferences) as a transparency. https://combatace.com/forums/topic/76701-making-decals-using-gimp/?tab=comments#comment-609704

  14. Is your decal square and do you have at least 10 pixels of space around the serial number? Does the decal work in another location on the aircraft?

  20. Thanks guys. I needed to free up a monitor for somewhere else in the home so I went for the safe 'middle-ground' option of a 2k monitor (2560 x 1440) and it's all working fine.

  22. Gloster Galant FAW.1 - No.92 Squadron, RAF Fighter Command, 1962 During the late summer of 1956 with the English Electric P.1B Lightning programme steadily falling behind schedule, General Alfred Gruenther (the Commander-in-Chief of the United States Air Forces in Europe) expressed his deep concern that it's bases in the UK could not be adequately defended by the "subsonic limeys" so the F-102 Delta Dagger was selected for RAF Fighter Command under the Offshore Procurement Plan with 100 F-102's ordered in November 1956. However with Convair stretched to the max with the F-102, F-106 and B-58 programmes Gloster Aviation were selected to licence build the F-102K as the Gloster Galant FAW.1 with initial deliveries being made to No.19 Squadron and No.92 Squadron at RAF Leconfield in April 1958.

  24. Cheers Marco. They are just the stock Third Wire 512 x 512 skins with fake canopies painted on and some decals that I made.
  25. Lockheed F-19A 'Sniper' - VMFT-401, United States Marine Corps, 1985 Only during the mid-1980's was it revealed that an unexpected outcome of President Nixon's historic visit to China in 1972 was the purchase of 30 Shenyang J-6 fighters for use as Aggressor aircraft. The aircraft were clandestinely delivered early in 1974 with the US Navy taking 22 aircraft and the US Marine Corps taking the balance of 8 which entered service with VMFT-401 in April 1976. In service, the aircraft were supported by specialist teams from Lockheed and were eventually designated F-19A with the unofficial name of 'Sniper'.
