LOD based terrain questions
Gepard replied to Bartleby's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
The terrain LOD files are hard coded, so you have no access to this files. Thatswhy i belive nobody can answer your question. -
I found on a russian model site a nice walkaround photo strip of an egytian MiG-29M2. It consist of 140 photos, which are high detailed. Here one example: The other photos you find here: http://scalemodels.ru/news/16193-Walkaround-mig-29m2-vvs-egipta.html It is surely a good source, if one of our talented model makers want to create this modern MiG-29 version.

I got the answer: "Das war wimre der "Entfernungszähler". Musste von Hand auf einen Anfangswert eingestellt werden und zeigte die Entfernung zu dem am ARK-10 eingestelltem Funkfeuer an. Die Berechnung funktionierte analog über Kurswinkel vom ARK und Geschwindigkeit Vw vom Staurohr, ein ziemliches "Schätzeisen" und deshalb meistens nicht genutzt. " translation: "That was AFAIK the "distance counter". It had to be set to an initial value by hand and showed the distance to the radio beacon set on the ARK-10. The calculation worked in the same way using the course angle of the ARK-10 and the speed Vw of the pitot tube, a bit of a "guess" and therefore mostly not used." AKR-10 is the radio compass system of the MiG-21 -

As Svetlin said: расстояние в км ... Distance in km увеличение ... increase установ нач с сотен не переходя 0 и 9 ... set start from hundreds without going to 0 and 9 If you can post a photo of this instrument, where it is located on the board. I would ask in a german forum where old MiG pilots and technicians are to find. They are always helpfull. -

Adding MirageIIIO to Rolling Thunder
Gepard replied to Defaultface's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
Make it easy. Choose a flyable american fighter unit and replace it with the australian unit and give it the Mirage as plane. No need to add a new unit and cause unexpected troubles. -

Slow but steady progress, while placing TOD objects on Guernsey. To set up to 800 trees and up to 500 buildings per tile on the map needs time.- 666 replies

Rocket lofting
Gepard replied to Viggen's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
It is an old tactic for soviet combat helicopters. I found it in a tactical document of the East German Army. It is called "Angriff aus dem Hochziehen" (attack while pull up). The pilots did not loved this kind of attack, because the helicopters had no aiming device for it. The tactics said, that you need a two ground controllers on the ground. Or two orientation points. The line between the two points or controllers marks the flightpath. When reaching the second point you must pull up to a specific angle, with a specitic speed and start firing the unguided rockets. This had to be done very accurate. If not the rockets hit anything else, but not the target. Even the wind direction and wind speed must be in the calculation. A direct hit on a small target, like a tank is nearly impossible. Areal targets can be hit with a certain degree. After the pull up maneuver it was orderd to fire masses of flares, dive down and go over to very low flight level. And run away. In SF2 world you will see no or less success with this kind of attack.
