need help MiG-21PF
Gepard replied to Fuza's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
PF had no guns. Gunpod came with PFM. Make sure that you has the mig-21 pack for first generation sims, not SF2. SF2 models can cause the problem you descriped, when use in WOX or SFP1 -
Which is the best dog fighter
Gepard replied to carm's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
The best dog fighter? A cat! Ask Garfield! -
The Albatros was designed as a training bird, not as a combat aircraft. Main focus was safety, reliability and cost efficency. Its a good buy.

Carrier based MiG-23A WIP
Gepard replied to lindr2's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mods/Skinning Discussion
For the MiG-29 project 3 different design concepts were tested. The first was a twin engine MiG-23 look a like with no swing wings and F-15 style air intakes ( the first in the row of lindrs drawings) Then was a design which reminds on the later Yak-41 (second in row) And finally the lifting body concept, which later became the MiG-29. project 9-11 was a MiG-29 body with MiG-23 avionics for export. Was cancelled because it was impossible to fit the MiG-23 radar in the MiG-29 body. 9-12 was full development. 9-12A was export WP, 9-12B was export rest of the world. -
Any new HQ F-16C on the works maybe? :) (or mirage 2000?)
Gepard replied to squid's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
For the first series sims the Mirage2000 and the F-16C are available. They still need a SF2 conversation. -
Carrier based MiG-23A WIP
Gepard replied to lindr2's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mods/Skinning Discussion
MiG-21F Pilots told me, that the small windows at the rear werent really usefull. Thatswhy the czech had deleted them on their MiG-21F13. I think Lindr2s version is more realistic. As suggestion, perhaps it would be possible to add the dogtooth at the wingroots, as it was used in MiG-27M or MiG-23MLD. Should make the bird more agile and slower at carrier approach. -
Something to laugh about. Heroic south korean politician shows the world dangerous NK artillery shells. Stupid if its found out that the shells were only thermos. Or does NK has to much of it, so that it shot thermos at SK. http://blogs.wsj.com/korearealtime/2010/12/01/thermos-flap-puts-politician-in-hot-water/

You had already had a president who was politically uncorrect enough to send US troops in the Iraq. The result is well known. In contrary to the flat and nearly defenceless Iraq NK is a mountain nightmare with nukes. Here is brain needed and not stupid muscles. Smart political pressure on Beijing is surely more efficent than sending carrier battle groups in the yellow sea.

Es gibt heutzutage in großen Teilen der deutschen Bevölkerung (wieso sagt man eigentlich nicht mehr Volk?) ein tiefverwurzeltes "Gutmenschentum" und wenn man etwas sagt, was gegen den Gutmenschenmainstream verstößt wird man gleich zum Nazi abgestempelt. Ich kann mich noch gut daran erinnern wie ich an der Uni als Mörder beschimpft worden bin, nur weil ich offen dazu gestanden habe, daß mir der Wehrdienst im Großen und Ganzen gefallen hat. Zuerst gab es komische blicke, dann das übliche "Soldaten sind Mörder" Gequatsche. Und das tolle an der Sache ist, das einer meiner Kommilitonen von damals ein paar Jahre später für die Grünen im Bundestag saß und fein fleißig die Flosse hob wenn es darum ging Soldaten in den Krieg zu schicken. Ich habe ihm, als wir uns vor ein paar Jahren zufällig wiedersahen, ein "Politiker, die Soldaten in den Krieg schicken, sind Mörder" an den Kopf geworfen, worauf er mir erzählt hat, daß die Bundewehr in Afghanistan ja keinen Krieg führt sondern Brunnen bohrt und Mädchenschulen baut. Na Klar! und ich ziehe mir die Hose mit ner Kneifzange an!

Its a real loss for mankind. Thanks for all the funny hours, Leslie.

Depends how the NK are fortified. I think they will follow the proofen way and have their ari in the bunker caves. Rolling out only for firing, then back into safety, reloading and start the same again. So they are vulnerable only for some seconds. Makes very difficult to hit for SK. NK did it already in Korea war and the vietnamese Viet Minh fought on this way against the french in Dien Bien Phu.

True, if they would have firefinder radar. I'm not sure that NK has this level of technology. They will have optical instruments. But with spyglasses you only see that there is someone shooting, but not the direction of fire, not at a distance of 13 km. That they have no fire finder radar show the result of NK ari fire. More than 200 shells, but only 80 hit the opposing island. Thats not impressive. Lets make a mind experiment. Lets say, you are the NK commander. You are under permanent propaganda, that the SK are the bad and war mongers. You detect the smoke of enemy artillery. You know if the SK hit a target in NK you will be punished if you not act promptly. What are you doing? (This is not written do defend NK. Its written as an attempt to understand whats happen and why, far away from propaganda from NK and SK.)

Tu-22M3 BackFire C

Inspired by the very very very old game "Harpoon", the fighter version of the Backfire. -
Tears as last Harrier jets leave Ark Royal
Gepard replied to MigBuster's topic in Military and General Aviation
Of course its a sad moment when planes and ships are scrapped. So it is all around the world. I can remember how sad my feelings were when i had to hand over my good old Kaschi assault rifle for scrapping in the days of change 1990, or our birds went into the scrapyards. The same feelings soldiers all around the world can share and understand. But if its time to say good bye, then it is time. Something new will come. It surely will not be the same old love, it will be different. What mean: Keep a stiff upper lip, look forward and not back. -
Fox News is not really a serious source. If the message would came from CNN or Sky it would be different. The said number of MiG's is what makes me doubt. 5 is not a size of fighter units. 2 okay, 4 okay, 6 okay, but 5? That would mean that one pilot would act as "lone ranger". Maybe that such things happend during Vietnam War, but not today. And by the way a short mesage from Reuters, which is backing the north korean version, that the south shot first. http://www.reuters.com/article/idUSTOE6AM05P20101123 The SK made a firing drill, the NK felt threatend and shot sharp on SK military.

Ich hatte mal was ähnliches versucht, ist mir aber misslungen. Ich hatte mit dem Hex editor einfach Teile der LOD Datei gelöscht, hatte zwar keinen CTD aber dafür war das was ich weghaben wollte immer noch da.

Em. Right and wrong. North Korea is important for China, because it is a buffer state. It is not in chinese interest, that american soldiers are standing at the Yalu river. Thatswhy they will back up the Kims as long as possible. On the other hand there is no peace treaty between North and South Korea. Technically spoken they are still in war, and the USA is also seen as a "war party" by the north koreans. Personally i think, that a peace treaty would be the best solution. It would end the war status and it would give the North Korean leaders the amount of safety they want, and vice versa for South Korea. At the moment the armies of both sides are in high alert. The south korean Navy held yesterday a naval exercise close to the island yon...something. It is more than possible, that a north korean officer felt threaten by the exercise and opend the fire. It reminds me to the NATO autumn exercise seria 1983, when the NATO troops advanced toward east and the soviets misinterpreted the exercise "Able Archer" as a real countdown for WW3.

F-20C TigerShark
Gepard replied to Gepard's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - File Announcements
As Silverbolt already said, you must download the F-20A in the 3 party mods, not the static F-20. The static F-20 would be funny. -
Who is ratteling with the sabre is not really willing to draw the sabre. I dont know, what the mad Kims are doing, and why, but a beginning of a war looks different from the action of yesterday.

Cat File for WOE
Gepard replied to TheStig's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
You could also download a Vietnam terrain. Look for DRV terrain for instance.
