North of Syria map?
Gepard replied to Stratos's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
I dont think, that we have a map that covered this special part of Syria. This is Israel 2 map: The areas of interest are to close to the border of the map or outside the map. So a completly new map must be made. -
Random skins possible?

75 camo decals are made so far. The placement of the decals is reworked, so that they fit better. -
The russians have a long tradition in military choirs. The Alexandrow choir (red army choir) is dated back till WW2. They will rebuild the choir. It is truely sad news, that so many very good singers lost their live in a plane crash.

I think, we will see a strategic change in US foreign policy. Trump realized, correctly, that Russia is no real threat for the USA, but China is a highly potential threat. So the USA will go a confrontation course against China. If you want to confronte China, you cant rely only on technological superiority. You need planes which you can build in masses to an acceptable price. The problem with F-35 and F-22 is their unbelievable oversized price. Okay, it are high potential planes, but you cant buy enough of them. In a conflict with China you would need a lot of planes and so many F-35 would cause a collaps of the US finance budget. As my old professor used to say: "You dont need the high potentials, you need the right potentials." So Trumps way to try to drop the prices of combat planes is corect.

New Russian Marking
Gepard replied to CrazyhorseB34's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
Isnt there a little bit to much blue in the decal? Only in the very first time the russians used so much blue, but in the last years the blue part of the star became smaller and smaller. -
Su-25 Frogfoot (Grach)
Gepard replied to WINGSOVERISRAEL's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
IIRC, wasnt there a Su-25 included in NATO Fighters? -
It is unbelievable, that a man who was sent into prison in Italy for criminal acts, was able to go to Germany after his release from prison, and ask there for asylum! Why he wasnt sent back to Tunesia after his prison time? Same with the afghan guy, who murdered in Freiburg some weeks ago. He was in prison in Greek. After his release from prison he went to Germany and asked for asylum. In Germany we have around 500 so called "Gefährder", what means "highly dangerous persons". Why this guys were not sent home. And if Tunesia or an other Land is not willing to take them back, then sent them by ship, throw them into the Med and the last 3 miles home they can row with a rubber boat .

The problems are lawyers and judges, which are living in their own ivory towers, far away from reality. The police want to act, but cant act, because the f...ing lawyers and goodwill people fight for the rights of the criminals .... It seems to be now, that the polish driver, who was found shot dead in the cabin of the truck, saved the live of a lot of people. He fought against the terrorist during the attack and forced him to leave the X-mas market. He was a real hero.

MiG-21F-13 east german LSK style camo
Gepard posted a topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - File Announcements
File Name: MiG-21F-13 east german LSK style camo File Submitter: Gepard File Submitted: 18 December 2016 File Category: MiG-21 MiG-21F-13 east german LSK style camo ************************************************************* This mod is made for SF2. ---------------------------------------------------------- I. History In the east german airforce LSK (Luftstreitkräfte) each single plane had a unique paint scheme. There was no standard for the form of staines, dots or stripes. So the technicians of the squadrons and repair facilities had free hand for the paintshop. Originally it was intended to have a two tone camo. The colors had to be brown and green. But the tone of the paint was not specified, so that lighter and darker greens and browns were possible. It depended a lot on the availability of the paint. On the other hand the brown paint was very fast weathering, so that it appeared soon as a green tone. Nobody knows why the paint changed from brown to green. It simply happend. Perhaps it had something to do with the sun? So a very wide range of colors was to find on the planes. In the late 80th a 3 tone camo was used. This package contains 40 different camos, connected with the tactical numbers, so that you will find 40 planes each with an other unique camo. The camos are LSK style. They are not historical correct. The reason for this is, that there is no reliable source for the east german MiG-21 camo. All paintschemes, even that in the museums, are LSK style (freestyle) . So i decided to make this set as freestyle. A NVA MiG-21 could have looks like that, what you find in this package. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- II. CREDITS: The tactical numbers are made by PauloPanz for his MiG-21F-13 skin.! The skin based on: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ TK's stock skin, modified by me. The camo decals are made by me. ---------------------------------------------------------- III. INSTALLATION: -Unzip the folders into your object folder ---------------------------------------------------------- IV.

Creating a dynamic MiG-15bis gunsight in KAW.
Gepard replied to CptHrki's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
The MiG-15 had had a gyroscopic gunsight, thats true, but it had a fixed gunsight too. You could switch between "moveable" gunsight und the fixed gunsight and you could display both gunsights at the same time. Some Korea aces used the fixed gunsight, while otheres prefered the lead computing gunsight. -
Is this really all what this suni arab terrorists can do? Is this really all? This losers. They had a very soft target in a giant size and they killed only 12 persons? What for bunglers, what for botchers! I laugh at you! I spit at you!!! You dilletants, you amateurs, you noobs!

Random skins possible?
Gepard replied to Gepard's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
I have uploaded a first set of 40 camo decals for the MiG-21F-13. It is not yet really finished, so that you may see it as a preview. I used only on skin for the entire plane, which is set at different places to achieve the wished result. It is not perfect. In a second step i want to make the camos by using different camo decals for wings, tail, nose and fuselage. But this will need some more time. At the moment my very old computer makes a lot of trouble. It could be, that it breaks in near future. Thatswhy i have uploaded the not yet finished camo decals set. -

40 skins are done. Enough for a east german squadron. -

Random skins possible?
Gepard replied to Gepard's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
I followed Russos advice and placed the decal on the damage model of the right wing to. And the result looks so: The flickering is still there, but now, the lighter skin of the original skin does not look through anymore. It is not perfect. -

Gepard replied to Gepard's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
Logan set me on the right path. The insignia caused the lighter outer wings. In a first step i removed the insignias and the outer wing had the same color light as the rest of the wing. Then i replaced the insignias a little bit, so that it was placed now over inner and outer wing, and the result was satisfying. The outer wing camo was not lighter anymore. The problem with the flickering is not yet solved. It happend only with the MiG-21MF and bis lods, not on the other versions as you can see here. One MiG-21MF with flickering, one MiG-21PFM without flickering on right wing. -

Gepard replied to Gepard's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
The flickering only appears on MiG-21MF lod and MiG-21bis lod. With MiG-21F, PF and PFM no flickering happens. The insignia i use are the standard insignias by TK. So it looks when i use the MiG-21F-13. As you see, no flickering on the right wing, but still lighter outer wings camo. The plane in front (622) shows the standard skin i made as basic for the overlaying decal camo. -

No, it is one decal, which i use for the entire wing. It covers the inner and the outer wing. Dont know, why it looks lighter on the outer wing. -

One step forward. There seems top be a problem on the right upper wing, where the wing goes over into the outer wing. There the decals are not displayed properly and are flickering along the border between the two meshes. Dont know how to solve it. Will try my best.
