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.)

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.

I use the F-111 pit. Its fine there. -
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.

Ärgerlich ist der Zwang zum Online sein. Das empfinde ich als noch penetranter als den ganzen STEAM Unsinn. Ich habe keine Lust, daß mir jemand über die Schulter schaut was ich gerade an meinem Computer mache und wann ich es mache. Deshalb wird Rise of Flight, egal wie toll es sonst ist, nicht auf meinen Rechner kommen.

New Campaign Ideas
Gepard replied to Riley64's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mission/Campaign Building Discussion
This was my attempt to make a saudi F-20. I had not released it, because the bottom side of the plane is also sandcolored. Unfortunatly it is not possible at the F-20 model to have different skins for the wings top and bottom, because it was originally only intended as static ground target. -
This was only possible, because the SR-71 was forced to use a very small flight corridor between sweden and the GDR or Poland. When the SR-71 flew in the MiG-25 at Ribnitz Damgarten and ... (damn, forgot the name of the base, perhaps Finow, not sure)were alarmed and took off to intercept the Blackbird on their way home. In the small flight corridor it was possible that the ground controllers directed the 25 close to the Blackbird. At no other area of the world the MiG-25 was able to catch a SR-71. Especially in the Murmansk area the MiG-25 never saw a Blackbird. The MiG-31 had a little bit more success. Their pilots reported, that they very often had seen the contrails of the Blackbird, but never the plane itself.

I was trying to build new (correct) airbase - need help pls
Gepard replied to Monty CZ's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
This is the airfield lighting which i used in my 10 new airbases for WOE. Its wartime setting. Only lamps at the start and endposition of the runway. I think it is enough. -
Beim ansehen des Beitrags ist mir ganz heiß und kalt geworden, bestätigt er doch die These, daß unsere Jungs in Afghanistan falsch ausgebildet und vor allem falsch ausgerüstet sind. SPW Fuchs ohne erkennbare Zusatzpanzerung. Zum Knacken dieses Teils gab es schon zu meiner Armeezeit spezielle Mumpeln für die Kaschi. Wir haben die Dinger Violettköpfe genannt. Man kann nur froh sein, das die Talibs diese Dinger nicht haben. Ich habe auch keinen Schutz vor RPG-7 gesehen. Ein bischen Blech, oder gummiertes Zeug, wie beim Förderband, etwa 40 cm von der Hauptpanzerung entfernt angebracht reicht schon um den Fuchs vor der RPG-7 zu schützen. Vielleicht hat ja wieder einmal der TÜV was dagegen!

I was trying to build new (correct) airbase - need help pls
Gepard replied to Monty CZ's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
When i made my 10 new airbases for WOE i made a special test terrain. Only one red airfield and only one blue airfield. So i was sure always to take of from the correct airfield and no somewhere in the Pampa. The most time consuming steps i found was the puzzling of the single parts together to get the airbase. After each singel set object i made a testflight only to see wheter the objects are at the correct place. If you set more objects it is difficult to find out which object is placed wrong and which correct. The light problem is not as big as you think. Military airfields have in wartime only few lights on. One line at the one side of the runway and one of the other. If i remember right it were only 7 or 8 lights neccessary. If you want to make a civil airfield with full lights, then i agree with you, that you has a problem. Take my 10 new airbases for WOE as example for airfield building. If you need help, send me a PM. -
The very old European Air War is still on my computer and sometimes i still play it. The graphic is outdated, thats true, but the old feeling of mass battles is great.
