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
To make a new airbase is relativly simple, but time consuming, because we dont have a tool for terrainobject setting. -

B-1B Redux
Gepard replied to Dave's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - File Announcements
Was a typo. HideGearNode=FALSE instead HideGearNode=TRUE at the right main gear. Corrected it and all is fine now. -
B-1B Redux
Gepard replied to Dave's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - File Announcements
Here the asked screenshot. Its a strange behaviour of the B-1B. If i take off the gears went in perfectly. If i use the ALT+N button and take then an outside view the right main gear is not fully retracted. Its the B-1B_92 model. -

IAI MiG-2000
Gepard replied to hynkel's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mods/Skinning Discussion
The cockpit i used in the F-20 TigerShark is basically the F-15A cockpit, because it is the one of the stock cockpits, which has the closest look of the F-20 Cockpit. So it is a mod of the F-15 cockpit. No cockpit lod file is included in the F-20, so it can only used in WOE or WOI. The HUD itself is new. I have designed it by using pictures of the real F-20 HUD. The radarscreen is also new in parts. -
Tu-22M3 BackFire C
Gepard replied to a topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - File Announcements
Use the cockpit of the F-111 or the B-1B. For afterburner open the data.ini look for AfterburnerEmitter3 change into AfterburnerEmitter2. For sound look for [sound] EngineSoundName=B-1Bidle_3 AfterburnerSoundName=B-1BAB_1 change into [sound] EngineSoundName=JetEngine AfterburnerSoundName=JetBurner -
Tu-22M3 BackFire C
Gepard replied to a topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - File Announcements
Not exactly. From the beginning the plane was intended as Tu-26. But in the time when it was developed there were SALT and START negogiantions between the USSR and the US. There was an agreement, that no new medium range nuclear capable bombers should be developed. So the soviet made the trick to say, okay, this is not a new bird, its only an improved version of an excisting plane. -
B-1B Redux
Gepard replied to Dave's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - File Announcements
Eric asked for a longer runway at Afghanistan terrain because he wanted to fly the Bones there. I gave it a try, made a longer strip at Bagram, then downloaded the B-1B. Its a great plane. Well done. Then i used it in my Wings over Afghanistan, which is a WOE clone. The planes handles well. But one of the main gears does not completly drive in. Is this a problem only at WOE? -

File Name: MiG-21F-13 (1975) File Submitter: Gepard File Submitted: 13 November 2010 File Category: Mig-21 Fishbed MiG-21F-13_75 ***************** ---------------------------------------------------------- I. In mid 70th the egyptian technicians replaced the R-11 engine of the MiG-21F13 by the R-13 which came with the MiG-21MF. The new and stronger engine made the MiG-21F13 faster and more agil. It also does not suffer anymore by compressor stalls which were common with the R-11 engine and the R-13 engine also not so often "died" if a missile was fired, so that restart of the engine in the air was not so often neccessary anymore. The most interessing point of the replacement of the engine is, that the R-13 normaly does not fit into the fuselage of the MiG-21F13. But the egyptian technicians found a way to overcome this problem and make fit was does not fit. So the most agil MiG-21 was born. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ II.

The german name of the indirect delivery methode of nukes is "Idiotensalto" which can be translated with "fools somersault". I wont try to use it in a fly by wire bird. The EMP will burn the computers chips and you will fall from sky like a stone. In game it is a great fun. In reality it is something for fools.

Help with ThirdWire sims and adding mods
Gepard replied to DEVIL11's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
The F-15A of WOE or WOI is not the same plane as the Mirage Factory F-15A. It has the same designation, but it is not the same model. If you try to use a skin which is made for one model at the other model the game engine is unable to put the skin on the model. Thatswhy you has in game a snow white plane. -

Do you really can fly and fight with a F-16A? ============================================ 28 gun only dogfight missions I. The F-16A Netz is one of my favorit planes in WOI and i know that a lot of people love the F-16A too. I fought a lot of dogfights and scored more than 100 kills with it. Then i asked me, wheter i won the dogfights by i my flying abilities or by the superior missiles? When i was shot down by a MiG-29 i asked me wheter the enemy plane was better or only the missile. To get a correct answer i thought a gun only dogfight will show the truth. So i started to make a seria of dogfight missions between the F-16A Netz and the planes of the period. The F-4E, F-5E, F-14A, F-15A, F-16A, F-20, MiG-21MF, MiG-21bis, MiG-23MF, MiG-23ML, MiG-29A, Mirage 5D, Mirage 2000EM and Kfir C2 i took as enemy in 1 vs 1 gun only engagements. Later, if 1vs1 started to become boring, i made 16 planes air combats. In the most cases it are 4 F-16A vs 12 enemies. For planes with comparable flight performance, like the F-15A or MiG-29A, i decided to make 8 vs 8 engagements. For me its a big fun and it is challenging, even the hunt on MiG-21MF or Mirage 5 can become difficult and dangerous if enough enemies are around you. And i hope you enjoy the mission pack too. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- II. INSTALLATION Copy all files into your missions folder Thats it. --------------------------------------------------------------------- III. Be aware The missions are made for WOI oct2008 patch. The most planes are stock in WOI, but you still following planes. At Combat Ace download section you find: Mirage Factory iranian F-14A, (add on planes/modern era aircraft) Mirage Factory F-5E Tiger II, (add on planes/cold war aircraft) the MiG-23ML, (add on planes/cold war aircraft) Mirage 2000EM (add on planes/modern era aircraft) And at http://cplengineeringllc.com/SFP1 you find the F-20 TigerShark.

With the last WOI update pack Operation Kadesh you can use all SF2 lod files in WOI. -
Ground Speed
Gepard replied to RAVEN's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
For fast calculation use following simple formula 4 * Meters/second - 10% = kph example 10 meters/sec * 4 = 40 - 4 = 36 kph -
Hm. 17 minutes time left? In Hollywood it are always only some seconds. So far are 17 minutes a long time.

Couple of questions for a Novice
Gepard replied to RedShooter's topic in Thirdwire - First Eagles 1&2
1. No, the plane that makes the last shot gets the victory credited 2. I have never seen replacement pilots 3. Flak hits you very seldom. 4. I have seen it too, but i think it is a bug 5. You will see enemy aces and own aces too. Have fun with FE. -
Optimal Envelope for AIM-9B Sidewinders?
Gepard replied to Arrow's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
The simpelst rule is not to move the stick while firing. If your planes lies dead like a brickstone in the air the missiles has its optimum hit chance. The other is not to fire on a curving target. -
Fighter Performance: F-4 vs MiG-21
Gepard replied to michael82's topic in Military and General Aviation
I would be carefull with such a conclusion. The german MiG-29G was the version with the worst flight capabilities of the MiG-29. A lot of very important systems of the MiG were simply switched of (Laser for instance) and the thrust of the engines was reduced by 10 percent. It is a big difference wheter you has 81kN per engine afterburner trust or only 72kN. -

Fighter Performance: F-4 vs MiG-21
Gepard replied to michael82's topic in Military and General Aviation
It seems to be, that the g-limit of the F-15A was limited for the first time of their duty in Europe. Personally i think that it was only because of safty restrictions. Also today new introduced planes have a limited flight envelope in the first time. At Berlin ILA airshow i saw some years ago Mirage2000 or F-16 flying smaller circles than Eurofighter or Saab Gripen. Not because the later planes are unable to curve better, but because the pilots were still restricted not to overcome certain limits. Same will be the reason for the F-4F "victories" over the Eagle.
