No engine sounds on some aircraft
Gepard replied to GunnySonics's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
As quick and dirty fix you could use the line: EngineSoundName=PropLoop to overwrite the existing entry in the data.ini of the plane. -

No. Its not planned. Seaplanes were used for SAR missions only over the Ärmelkanal/English Channel/Le Manche. SAR missions are not possible in SF2 world. Thatswhy i will not include bases for seaplanes. -

Gepard replied to Gepard's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - World War II Forum
The problem is to get footages from 1940 for the german airfields. The british are well documented, the german bases rather less. I found a foto in Gallands book "Die Ersten und die Letzten", which showed an german airfield during BoB. It was a cluster of tents and huts and planes standing wild in the area. I will do my best to give each airfield an unique apperance. Sit rep: I added some more buildings and the Flak defence for RAF Northolt. -

RAF Northolt, an airfield west of London. Later in war the runways became longer and a third runway was built. -

Nice shelter. IIRC it was invented in 1938 and was used at satellite airfields like RAF Rochford. -
Weaponsing a Spacecraft
Gepard replied to Nuni's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Sci-Fi/Anime/What If Forum
Not at all. The recoilless gun is widely used since 1945. The most popular weapons of this weapon type are soviet RPG-7 or german Panzerfaust. -
Weaponsing a Spacecraft
Gepard replied to Nuni's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Sci-Fi/Anime/What If Forum
There were soviet combat spacecrafts in reality. Here a footage of Soyuz 7K-VI mockup: It is not widely known, that 3 of 7 launched SALUT space stations were in reality ALMAZ stations. ALMAZ was the military version of SALUT. It was armed with a 23mm gun. IIRC the crew of SALUT 5 trained the space combat with aiming the gun on american SKYLAB space station. -

So RAF Biggin Hill will be in game: The camoflaged runways are better to seen in this screenshot. -
Operation Seelöwe
Gepard replied to Gepard's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - World War II Forum
This is an air footage of Biggin Hill during Battle of Britain. Biggin Hill was camouflaged, so that the runways were difficult to see. I dont know what they used for camouflaging the runways. Perhaps they painted them green or so. The contours of the imaginary fields were made by distribute tar on the meadow. I dont know wheter this kind of camo would be successfull to beat the Mk.1 Eyeball sensor of the bomber pilot, but on black and white footage the result is impressive. -

RAF Biggin Hill I had to move the airfields of Kenley, Biggin Hill and Rochford a little bit, to place them on a more or less correct point on the map. -

I had not known, that the british side had camouflaged some airfields during Battle of Britain. Here is an air footage from 1940 of RAF Tangmere Thatswhy i have experimented with a camouflaged tile for airfields: RAF Tangmere: What do you think about this airfield tile. Should it stay in terrain or should i use the old (not camo) green version? -
