You can covert some fan made SF2 planes into first generation very easily. Simply open all ini files, check wheter they are saved in UNICODE formate and if so save them into ANSI Code formate. Thats it. BUT all stock SF2 planes and some fan made SF2 planes use LOD files which most first generation sims cant read, Thatswhy you get the picture spriggs has posted. BUT first generation "WOI Operation Kadesh" can use ALL SF2 planes. Spriggs, if you want to fly the new F-20 in first generation, you must go to ThirdWire page and buy the Operation Kadesh addon for WOI.

This is correct and wrong at the same time. It depends on the version of the MiG-17. There were MiG-17 with hydraulic boosters for better agility at fast speeds and high altitude.

Mig-29SMT
Gepard replied to dast24's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
The Archer is a missile of an other generation. You must compare it with the AIM-9L, and then the Archer is very much better. The german Luftwaffe said in 1991 after testing the R-73, that this was one whole generation ahead to the Sidewinder L. Thatswhy the IRIS-T was developed. Would be strange if the IRIS-T wont be better than the Archer. DAST The big humpback tank of the SMT is no conformal fuel tank like the FAST packs on the F-15. You cant remove it. It is an enlarged tank. The refuel probe can be attached on the SMT, but if i remember right the russian in service SMT have no refuel probe. So it is a possible addon, not a must. The SMT is no newly built plane, it is an upgrate of existing planes The refuel probe became standard with the MiG-29M1 and M2. M1 is the single seater, the M2 the twoseater. The M's have no airinlets in the strakes, so this place is used for additional fueltanks, so that the big humpback of the SMT is gone. And by the way, the SMT is the most ugly MiG-29. -
How to become a modder!

The normal way is to go to download section, look for the correct section and then upload the file there. If you get problems, then ask the admin. -
Do not mix the EU with the Euro. The European Union was and is a great project. Okay it has a lot of problems, but it fullfull its major task: It safes the peace in Europe. It was founded to merge togheter the french and german steel industry, so that no war between this european major powers will happen again. With the inclusion of the BeNeLux contries and Italy it became an economic and political project that became bigger and bigger. In the last time it became to big and to fast. Sorry to say that, but Bulgaria, Romania, Hungary, Poland etc are not really fit for the EU. Poland, there i may wrong. Its a land on a good way. But the others ... The Euro was one of the "great ideas" of Chancellor Kohl and President Mitterand. To get the french okay for the Reunification of Germany Kohl gave its okay to sacrifice th DM for the Euro. This is not a bad idea, but like the most things Kohl handled, he handled it in the wrong way. The german Reunification is the perfect example how to do a unification of two different states. (Hope the Koreans have learned from this lesson.) And with the Euro it was the same, so contries were invited to come into the Euro Zone which were not fit for this zone. Greece, Italy, Spain, Portugal, the whole club of soft currencies. It would have been much better to start the Euro with a small number of contries of hard currencies, France, Germany and the Benelux contries as core, Austria, Sweden, Finnland in a first expansion wave and then wait a long time, so that the finance policy of the other EU contries could go into the right way, what means smaller depts

The Euro will survive. No one in Euro zone has a real interesst to let it crash. Maybe some old Mark fans would like to get the old currency back, but to be honest without the Euro we would have had a much worser way through the crisis which came from the US market. It is very interessting, that the hedge fonds (mostly american and british)are attacking only the Euro zone. Other contries have much higher depts or dept ratios (UK, or USA) and nobody is attacking them. The question is why? My guess for the € : $ ratio in the next two month is a range between 1.00 : 1.25 and 1.00 : 1.40.

Einen 5 Schuß Feuerstoßbegrenzer gab es so weit ich weiß nicht. Wäre ja auch blöd, wenn man plötzlich mehr Mumpeln auf einmal braucht, z.B. um einer Fahrzeugkolonne einzuheizen. Flügelzusatzbehälter hatte die NVA MiG-29 nicht, die sind später bei der BW nachgerüstet worden.

Bei Bodenobjekten kannst Du Leuchtspur einstellen. Bei Flugzeugen? Gute Frage. Ich habe mal im Archiv gekramt. Bei meiner Mi-24D hab ich folgenden Eintrag gefunden: [MiniGun] //SystemType=Fixed_GUN SystemType=FLEXIBLE_GUN GunTypeName=12.7MM_JakB InputName=FIRE_PRIMARY_GUN GunGroup=1 MuzzlePosition=0.0000,7.3295,-0.6951 //AimAngles=0.0,0.0,0.0 MaxAmmo=1470 TracerLoading=5 <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Diese Zeile BurstAmount=50 <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Diese Zeile EjectShells=True Ich habe einfach die entsprechenden Zeilen aus den Bodenobjekten herausgenommen und in die 24 gepackt. Wenn ich mich recht entsinne funktioniert es bei der 1. Generation, ob es bei SF2 auch geht? Keine Ahnung. Aber in der Realität gabs weder bei der GScha-301 noch bei der GScha-23 bei der Gefechtsmunition Leuchtspur. Realistisch wärs, wenn man gar nichts sieht, aber im Spiel wäre das ziemlich blöd.

Ok Let's Start A Virtual "NATO"
Gepard replied to Dave's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
Its made by using the J-7H LOD by 101tfs. The double Delto you are looking for is the J-7E. The LOD model is also from 101tfs, and you can find it in the download area for first generation. -

Intercept in WOV
Gepard replied to jjddoo's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
Unfortunatly it is true. I included the allowed missions lines into VietnamSEA.ini, but it does not had an effect. No intercepts possible for single mission. -
Good question Capitaine. Have seen this movie more than 30 years ago in GDR (east german) TV. Here two links: This should be in french http://www.cinemotions.com/modules/Films/fiche/24376/Normandie-Niemen/DVD.html I think this is in german language http://www.archive.org/details/Normandie-niemenDerKriegsfilm and here youtube original russian http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=krMMZa9cfwQ&feature=related As you can see they use the Yak-11 to simulate the Jak fighters from WW2

Gepard replied to Stary's topic in Military and General Aviation
Thats the proof: a skilled pilot can land safely without landing gear. Excellent job! -
-"Normandie-Njemen" a french soviet coproduction from the 60th about the french volunteer pilots of this squadron who fought with Jak fighters during WW2 at the eastern front. - "Memphis Belle" the documentary from WW2 and "Memphis Belle" the movie.

Intercept in WOV
Gepard replied to jjddoo's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
You can fly intercept missions in a red side campaign, but not in single mission mode. -
That Flak does not appear in game can have different reasons. First, you use the setting EnemyAirDefence=low in single mission screen. Then the game engine is reducing the numbers of Flak and SAM at the terrain. The other reason could be, that to many objects are set at the terrain. There is an upper limit and if you come to this limit the game engine is reducing the numbers of Flak and SAM.

Il-102

Its more than ugly. -
So wie sich die Sache anhört ist die externe Festplatte entweder vollständig oder zumindest teilweise Schrott. Wende Dich an eine kleine Computerbude und frag da nach Hilfe. Kostet zwar ein wenig Geld, aber die sind Spezialisten und können Dir sicher helfen. Bloß nichts selbst versuchen und die Sache verschlimmbessern.

The AI is landing a AH-64A

A heli you can get in the campaign in the same way like other aircraft types. Simply set to a unit and it will fly the helis in combat. -

Gepard replied to Dave's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
Do you want a NATO vs WP, then SF2:E Exp.2 with GermanyCE stock terrain. But this would be cover only 1985 till 1990. Or fictional: The Eurozone vs UK in 2012. US and british vs France, Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, Italy, etc. Terrain "Battle of Britain for the 60th"
