My next terrain project
Gepard replied to Gepard's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
The terrain has the size of 1.200 x 1.200 km. It should have nearly real life size. A square on planning map has a size of 120x120 km. At a first step i will finish the Crimean Peninsula and the naval area. Then i will release it as a Beta. In the next step i will add the rivers Don and Donez and some towns and villages in the area. Then in a further step the river Dnepr with the Cherson area, then Mykolajew and Odessa. -

My next terrain project
Gepard replied to Gepard's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
For the current occasion: Simferopol, a town at Crimean Peninsula. Very early Alpha of a terrain that covers the Crimean Peninsula, parts of the Black Sea and the southern Ukraine. I think i will make it as a NavalMap=True, so that the US Navy will have the chance to shooting at the russian bases at the Crimean Peninsula. -

F-113A Retaliator (What if) v1.1 ***************************************************** This mod is made for SF2NA. It based on Julhelms RA-5C Vigilante. ---------------------------------------------------------- I. History In 1960 the North American company decided to develope a fighter version of the A-5 Vigilante attack plane. The project got the designation NR-349 Retaliator. The NR-349 Retaliator was North American's proposal for a high-performance fighter aircraft for the US military as a variant of the A-5 with three engines. A third General Electric J79 was in the shaft between the other two engines with two narrow air inlets offset backwards above the inlets of the other engines. The aircraft was to be armed with six AIM-54 Phoenix at sub-fuselage stations. The US Air Force was not interested in, but the US Navy. The Retaliator should act as fleet defender, to intercept incoming long range bombers before they could fire their missiles on US carriers. The US Navy demanded to replace the third engine by an increased internal fuel capacity. Four prototypes where built and the decission was made to reduce the number of Phoenix missiles. So the F-113A Retaliator came into serial production in 1965. 1966 the first units of the uS Navy got the new fighter plane. The Retaliator was used for more than 10 years. Then it was replaced by the F-14A Tomcat. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- II. CREDITS: While making F-113A Retaliator i used a lot of files made by other modders. Thanks for this files! The plane filer are made: ~~~~~~~~~~ by Julhelm The flight model is made : ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ by Fubar512 & Column5 and modded by me The Cockpit is made ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ by Kesselbrut ---------------------------------------------------------- III. INSTALLATION: -Unzip the folders into your SF2 mod folder ---------------------------------------------------------- IV. For remarks, comments, bugs, etc please use the forum or send me a PM. ------------------------------------------------------------- V. The F-113A Retaliator is FREEWARE. COMMERCIAL USE IS NOT ALLOWED! ------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ Hope you enjoy it.

F-14 Explodes On Ground in Iceland
Gepard replied to Wizard43's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
Exactly this happens if the airfield.ini file is wrong. Perhaps it is a typo in the entry of the terrain_targets.ini file. Check out which airfield is it. I think it the problem is easy to solve. -
F-14 Explodes On Ground in Iceland
Gepard replied to Wizard43's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
If two or more planes are placed at the same startposition at an airfield it means, that the airfield.ini file of that airfield is wrong. It has nothing to do with the plane. It is an airfield issue. Thatswhy it would be helpfull to know at which airfield the problem occurs. It is only one base or some bases or all bases? -

Tysk Tunnan. Republic of Germany 1958. -
The ukrainian Hind pilots are combat proven. They have learned the job on the hard way in Donbas since 8 years. So they found out, that you must fly very low to avoid Manpads. And very low means 2 meters over ground. Guys who can fly a heli fast at this altitute must have great skills and big balls. And i think the Ukrainians have such pilots. The Mi-24 is for such an attack run a perfect helicopter. It is fast and has an armament which allows to open the fire outside the close air defence of the opponent. I think it is possible, that the Ukrainians had flown this strike. And it was an outstanding job.

Transition training time needed for new aircraft?
Gepard replied to KJakker's topic in Military and General Aviation
It depends. The major problem is the difference between metric and imperial system. Its a mental barrier, which is not easy to overcome. Its a diffrence wheter a HUD is showing 100 and means meters (which is low, but save) or showing 100 and means feets, (which is damn low and not very save). The reeducation from one system to the other needs a lot of time. Of course a pilot could fly the plane, but he could not fly it perfect, because he needs time to recalculate the values which shows the instruments into the system in which his brain is thinking. The transistion time is surely more than one year. -
Finally, FINALLY my Country (Canada) Makes a Decision; 88, F-35s
Gepard replied to Arrow's topic in The Pub
We know, that the F-22 had a better agility than the F-35. And we know, that british Eurofighter Typhoon had beaten the F-22 in close combat scenarios during Red Flag some years ago. So i guess, that the F-35 is not as agile as the Eurofighter Typhoon. -
Finally, FINALLY my Country (Canada) Makes a Decision; 88, F-35s
Gepard replied to Arrow's topic in The Pub
To buy the F-35 seems to be a fashion today. The only advantage of this plane is stealth. But stealth depends on the computer capacity of the radar system which tries to detect a stealth plane. and the computer become more and more efficient. So radar systems can detect today much smaller radar echos than 10 years before and in 10 years they will be able to detect much much more smaller radar echos. What means, that a point will come when the F-35 s no stealthy anymore. And at this point the weak points of the F-35 will count, as there are: bad agility compared with a F-16 or F-18, lower weapon load capacity, high maintenance costs. Finally it will be that Air Forces who buy the F-35 will have a very expensive plane, but will not have the money to operate it properly. I think a plane like the F-18E or the Eurofighter or the modern Gripen, equipet with a state of the art jamming system, will be on long run a much better and cost efficient solution for the most Air Forces of this world. For Germany, for example, i would wish we would buy 250 Gripens instead 35 F-35. -
MiG Mondays - But Read the Rules First
Gepard replied to JosefK's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Screen Shots
In early 1991 12 MiG-23ML of the former Jagdfliegergeschwader 9, based at Peenemünde, were ferried by former east german pilots to Ramstein AFB. It was the last flight of german MiG-23s. The planes were a present of Germany to the USAF for the preparation of the Gulf War. The 12 MiG-23ML were shipped to the USA and were used their at Nellis AFB as part of the Aggressor Force of the Red Flag exercises. Before the USAF got the german MiG-23ML the Aggressor pilots called the 23 as a bad plane. After flying the MiG-23ML nobody of them called the Flogger as a bad plane anymore. And finally a real picture of the MiG-23ML at Ramstein AFB. Today one of the german MiG-23ML is to be seen at Evergreen Air & Space Museum Oregon in its original camo and insignia. http://www.theedges.org/Aviation/Aeroplane_Museums/Evergreen/evergreen_Mig23_Flogger.html It is also said, that one 23ML is exhibited at Nellis AFB museum, but with iraqi camo and insignia.- 297 replies
