WOI addon is up
Gepard replied to gerwin's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
Have downloaded it. Thanks TK! -
Yak-3, Spitfire or MiG-29

Its a littel bit OT, but i think it is an interessting matter. US carrier task forces were equiped with attack carriers. The soviets built such type of carriers in the 80th with the Tblissi and Riga, later renamed in Kusnetzow and Varjag. In the 70th they had the Kiew class, which was officially an aircraft carrying anti submarine cruiser. The reason was, that the carriers could only be built at the Black Sea Wharfs. To come out of the black sea you must pass the Dardanelles and the Bosporus, which are turkish. There was a treaty in the 20th or 30th of last century beween Turkey and USSR which defines which type of soviet warships could pass the Dardanelles. And Carriers were not included in this treaty. All other soviet wharfs had not had the capability to built such big ships like carriers.

MiG-21SMT Fishbed-K
Gepard posted a topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - File Announcements
File Name: MiG-21SMT Fishbed-K File Submitter: Gepard File Submitted: 11 July 2010 File Category: Mig-21 Fishbed MiG-21SMT Fishbed-K for SFP1, WOI, WOE, WOV ************************************* HISTORY ************************************* In the late 60th the soviet frontline aviation demanded a longer range MiG-21 for primary use as carrier for tactical nuclear weapons to the central european war theatre. The MiG-OKB choosed the MiG-21SM as basic for the development and simply enlarged the backfueltank, so that now the internal fuel amount climbed to 2.950 litres (2.400 lbs). The new bird was called MiG-21SMT. The T stands for "topliwo", what means "fuel". All SMT were prepared for the nuclear strike role. Only a relative small number of SMT's were built. They served mostly as dedicated nuc carriers at airfields in the GDR (east germany) ********************************************** MiG-21SMT for WOE, WOV, WOI, SFP1 credits ********************************************** While making the MiG-21SMT i used a lot of files made by other modders. Thanks for this files! The plane itself: ~~~~~~~~~~ Model and skin by TK The backfueltank ~~~~~~~~~~ Model is by TK The Cockpit ~~~~~~~~~ Cockpit by Mago/Paladrian And finally my little share ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I edited the Data file to fit the SMT. Further i made the skin for the backfueltank. I hope that i havent forgotten someone to give the proper credit. ********************************************** INSTALLATION ********************************************** 1. unzip into your aircraft folder The subfolder MiG-21SMT will be created 2. make sure that the files MiG-21SMTBack.lod and MiG-21SMTBack.bmp were placed into your Aircraft folder, not into the MiG-21SMT folder Thats it! Enjoy flying. ************************************************ For remarks, comments, bugs, etc please use CombatAce forum or send me a PM. Hope you enjoy it.

Und ich dachte, daß ich der einzige bin, der das olle Rome TW immer noch mal hervorkramt! Ich habe mir nen eigenen kleinen Mod zusammengebastelt, bei dem es um Italien und Sizilien geht. Mich hat es nähmlich immer angestunken, daß man Sizilien in drei Spielzügen einnehmen konnte.

Teen Series Fighters
Gepard replied to Slartibartfast's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
If the USAF would have had selected the F-17, i think Germany would have bought this bird and we would have no need for the Eurofighter. It would be nice if someone could create the Cobra for SFP1 or SF2. -
Rivers
Gepard replied to gillg's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mods/Skinning Discussion
An other way of laying rivers through a mountainious area i made in my Deutschland terrain (Germany for SFP1). For the famous Mittelrheintal (middle Rhine valley, the area around the Loreley with a lot of castles)i made new river tiles which more or less fitted to the terrain. But this was a lot of work. -
Teen Series Fighters
Gepard replied to Slartibartfast's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
My vote is for the Viper. It is exactly that kind of plane i love. Small, agile, high capable. But i would also like to see a Northrop F-17 Cobra, the forerunner of the F-18. -
Vielleicht ist nur der Lüfter verdreckt. Ich habe an meinen letztens den Staubsauger drangehalten und seitdem geht es wieder.

MiG-21M Fishbed-G (1980)
Gepard posted a topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - File Announcements
File Name: MiG-21M Fishbed-G (1980) File Submitter: Gepard File Submitted: 03 July 2010 File Category: Mig-21 Fishbed MiG-21M Fishbed-G (1980) for SFP1, WOI, WOE, WOV ************************************* HISTORY ************************************* In the 60th the MiG OKB developed a recon version of the MiG-21. This bird (MiG-21R) got a bigger tank on the back. Basing on the MiG-21R the soviets developed the MiG-21S, a fighter plane with an improved radar RP-22 and a better weapon system. The S had 4 hardpoints under the wings and the big backtank of the R. But it had no internal gun. For export an simplified version was developed and called MiG-21M. The M looked very similar to the S, but got the old RP-21 radar. Because the costumers demanded an internal gun the MiG-21M got as first plane the GSha-23. On paper the MiG-21M had a good performance. It was twice as efficient in the ground attack role than the older MiG-21 versions and was also able to carry the double number of air to air missiles. But in reality the pilots did not love this bird. The MiG-21M was much heavier than the MiG-21F, PF, PFM (SPS-K) but had the same engine. So the agility of the older planes was lost. In contrary the MiG-21M was a very stable gun plattform. Later in service the MiG-21M was updated a couple of times. It got the protection plates below the side air intakes (Startklappen) which should avoid FOD incidents, but also protect against gun smoke which could harm the engine. In some cases the MiG-21M got the engine of the MiG-21MF. The MiG-21M got the ability to carry twin rail launchers and was updated to carry the missile R-60. The bird in this package is the updated MiG-21M with protection plates, and MiG-21MF engine, but without periscope on the canopy. ********************************************** MiG-21M (1980) for WOE, WOV, WOI, SFP1 credits ********************************************** While making the MiG-21M i used a lot of files made by other modders.

MiG-23FI non swing wing Flogger

File Name: MiG-23FI non swing wing Flogger File Submitter: Gepard File Submitted: 03 July 2010 File Category: Fictional Aircraft, Experimental and UAV's MiG-23FI non swing wing Flogger for SFP1, WOI, WOE, WOV ************************************* HISTORY ************************************* In the 60th the MiG-23 was developed as counterpart to the american F-111 fighters. In both superpowers the specialists had the strong belief, that the time of dogfight was over. The major task, so they thought, would be the high speed intercept mission. For that kind of warfare the MiG-23 was optimized. In the local wars in late 60th it was proof, that the days of dogfight were far away to be over. In cotrary, the dogfight was still the major task of a fighter plane and for that kind of warfare the MiG-23 was not suited. So the MiG OKB started a development line to make the plane more agil, which finally led to the MiG-23ML, which was much better than the first MiG-23, but was also no born dogfighter. So in 1971 the MiG-OKB started to develope a high agile future frontline fighter (Project 9), which had its maidenflight in 1977 under the designation MiG-29. One of the first studies of the project 9 showed a plane in size and shape of the MiG-23ML with F-15 like air intakes, two engines and non swing wings. My MiG-23FI is fiction. It is one step back, a MiG-23ML look alike with non swing wings and dogfight optimized wings with aditionally hardpoints. FI stands for "frontowoi istrebitjel" what means: Frontline fighter. ********************************************** MiG-23FI for WOE, WOV, WOI, SFP1 credits ********************************************** While making the MiG-23FI i used a lot of files made by other modders.

What i have heared in radio: Mick Jagger was for the USA. The USA is gone. Mick Jagger was for England. England is gone. Mick Jagger was for Brazil. Brazil is gone. Will we hope that Mick Jagger isn't for us!! PS: No he was for Argentina! And finally the word of old Gerry Linecker "Football is a game for 22 kickers and finally the Germans win!"

Waypoint problems with Afghanistan terrain
Gepard replied to Viggen's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
Strange thing. I tested it yesterday with WOE again and all went well. At Jalalabad i had no problems. It seems to be, that something is corrupted in your terrain installation. Perhaps a reinstall would solve the problem. -

Waypoint problems with Afghanistan terrain
Gepard replied to Viggen's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
Again. The position of the plane at the runway is defined in the _airfield.ini file. If you has not the correct file on your game you will find your plane at the position and situation you descriped. Afghanistan terrain is written for Wings over Israel. So it use stock files of this game. A simple solution of the problem would be that you open the _targets.ini of a terrain where you has no problems and look which _airfield.ini is used there. Then use this file for afghanistan_targets.ini [TargetArea002] Name=Jalalabad Airbase Position=876000.0,679000.0 Radius=7071.067871 ActiveYear=0 Location=1 Alignment=friendly AirfieldDataFile=soviet_airbase1.ini <<<<< This is the mentioned file try to change into desert_airbase1.ini NumSquadrons=4 -

Mein Sohn (9 Jahre) hat von seiner Oma gehört, daß sie irgendwo im Fernsehen gesehen hat, daß irgendjemand in seinem Keller einen "echten" Flugsimulator gebaut hat. Der sei so echt gewesen, daß sogar Berufspiloten kommen würden um darin zu üben. Natürlich ist Sohni total begeistert und will nun auch so ein Teil haben. Das übliche "Papa, mach mal!" Hat jemand von euch ne Ahnung wie man sich so ein Teil zusammenschraubt? Gibt es da Pläne oder Vorbilder?

Waypoint problems with Afghanistan terrain
Gepard replied to Viggen's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
Do you use Afghanistan terrain in WOI or in an other game? At the first view i would say, you miss an airfield file, which defines where the planes should take off, the taxi positions etc. The name of the file is soviet_airbase1.ini. It is a stock file in WOE and WOI.
