Locating an aircraft's sound files
Gatling20 replied to JaneyBananey's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
If you look in the Hunter's Data.INI file you will see lines: EngineSoundName=JetEngine AfterburnerSoundName=JetBurner These are stock SF sounds, which are in one of the CAT files. The sim extracts and uses these if there is no sound WAV file of the same name in your Sounds folder. To change the Hunter's engine sound, edit the Hunter's Data.INI to read EngineSoundName=JetEngineHunter (or whatever you want to call it), then copy the sound file you want to use to your Sounds folder and name it as JetEngineHunter.wav (or whatever you called it). ..- 6 replies

A few tips for Brits travelling to Germany for the European Championships
Gatling20 replied to Gepard's topic in The Pub
There is a World Cup on right now, in New York (the T20 Cricket World Cup, that is). Scotland has been knocked out in the 1st round, by Australia. England is still in the comp, having thrashed Oman and Namibia. . -

Planes dissapear in the distance, anyway to fix that?
Gatling20 replied to ProblemChild's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
You could try reducing your screen resolution in the sim, under Graphics options, to 1280 x 720, or even 1024 x 768, and see if that helps. The sim is a decade or more old now, and probably wasn't designed for such hi-res as 3840x2160.- 16 replies

Another possibility (perhaps the most obvious one) - have you checked your game Graphics Options settings?- 16 replies

Gatling20 replied to ProblemChild's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
What aircraft have you noticed this with? If it is just one or two, you might have a mismatch between that aircraft's INI file and the LODs in that aircraft's folder. For example, in the F8F-1B Bearcat folder, you will see: [LOD001] Filename=F8f.LOD Distance=100 [LOD002] Filename=F8f.LOD Distance=250 [LOD003] Filename=F8f_001.LOD Distance=1000 [LOD004] Filename=F8f_001.LOD Distance=2000 [LOD005] Filename=F8f_001.LOD Distance=10000 If the F8f_001.LOD is not present in that folder, or if for some reason there is a typo in the INI file in the name of the longer-distance LOD, the Bearcat will disappear when 250m or more away. The names have to match exactly, or you won't see the aircraft.- 16 replies

new tiles for Korea MIGAlley from Gepard
Gatling20 replied to Lacsap's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - File Announcements
Outstanding new tile set for the MiG Alley terrain! The new larger city tiles with their new corresponding TOD files look great, and the whole countryside with its larger and more detailed tiles is much improved. Great job, thanks -
Poland 1939 terrain?
Gatling20 replied to Gatling20's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
Hmm... on second thoughts, I am not sure that a Poland 1939 terrain would be all that challenging. I have been playing around with some test missions on the stock desert terrain, using the available 1939 Polish and German aircraft (PZL P.11c, Bf-109D and E, Bf-110, Ju-87B, Do-17P and He-111), and it is all fairly one-sided. The Polish fighter is completely outclassed by either variant of the Bf-109, and even by the Bf-110, and the only German aircraft it can (sometimes) catch is the Ju-87. So I think it would be an interesting terrain from the historical point of view, but unless you like lop-sided contests, it would not get much regular use. -
Poland 1939 terrain?
Gatling20 replied to Gatling20's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
Well, if you are asking for opinions, my vote would be for a terrain based on the 1939 Polish-German borders and cities (since we already have terrains for the 1941-45 Russian Front, and for WW2 Finland and Murmansk). Not much room for a few Soviet airbases to the east of Poland in that Ostpreussen TFD, though. -
Poland 1939 terrain?
Gatling20 replied to Gatling20's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
Understood, making a terrain is way beyond my skill, and I appreciate the work of those who can do it. -
Poland 1939 terrain?
Gatling20 replied to Gatling20's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
Found the reference, it was a proposed terrain from Terrainmeister Gepard a few years back: It would be great to see this one completed at some stage. -
Poland 1939 terrain?
Gatling20 posted a topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
The recent redux version of Zur's PZL P.11 made me wonder if we have ever had a terrain for the German/Polish 1939 campaign. I had a vague recollection that a while back someone (Gepard perhaps?) was working on one, but I have had a good look in the various discussion forums and the download section but can't find anything like it. Do we have such a terrain? -
A request to propheads
Gatling20 replied to Wilches's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
I can send you (or upload here) the 2017 PZL P11 Data.INI, but as Trotski says, if it is the entire aircraft package you need, you will have to get that from the A-Team website. -
A request to propheads
Gatling20 replied to Wilches's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
I have two PZL P-11Cs: a Gen1 version (i.e. with no bump mapping) from Feb 2006 by Zur, and a Gen2 version (with bump mapping and a revised Data.INI flight model) from June 2017 by Capun. I don't remember where I got the Zur 2006 model (probably here), but the 2017 version is part of the A-Team's WW2 Russian Front all-inclusive Mod (it is in Romanian colors) and you can get it over there. The aircraft models are different, in their components, so the later Data.INI won't easily port over to the earlier model. -

Nice!! (is that the Veltro2k model from 2010, or a newer version?)
