Pilot Skins
allenjb42 replied to raymin's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
It's exactly the same procedure in WOV & SFG as in WOE. If you're trying to add pilots to the stock aircraft you need to extract the the aircraft's data.ini files first. -

Pak-FA aka Suchoi T-50
allenjb42 replied to Julhelm's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mods/Skinning Discussion
Just noticed, and sorry to go OT, but the primary target in the screenies is a MiG-23UB. I didn't know there was a 2-seater Flogger available. -
I've always wanted to get a Saab ever since John Gardner gave James Bond a Saab 900 Turbo in his books. Maybe I can pick up a cheap one now, or a Viggen or Gripen....

Which pilot figure?
allenjb42 replied to ndicki's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
You need to edit the data.ini of the aircraft you want to modify. The instructions are probably in the KB, but here's a link to the relevant page on Wrench's site. http://wrench1smog.com/wrench14.html -
I think I'm going to have to update my Israeli Airforce thread. Looking forward to all of these mods soon guys.

First in-game shots of a new terrain...
allenjb42 replied to Wrench's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mods/Skinning Discussion
Looks like Operation Reciprocity might be a go. A couple of questions: For the canal locks, could the jetties from EAWEurope act as stand ins? I don't suppose the map stretches up to Belize does it? I've quite fancied trying a British/Guatamalan fight like in this novel: http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/0.../authordatabase -
Since there a black sea terrain...

Looks like it's on the way... http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?s=&am...st&p=238589 -
Funny you should say that. I remember reading somewhere that Top Gun was actually conceived as a sequel to An Officer and a Gentleman. I think Jerry Brukheimer (sp?) worked on that movie and had read an article on Top Gun and put 2 and 2 together. Here's another quote: Jester: That was some of the best flying I've seen to date - right up to the part where you got killed.

Viper: Good morning, gentlemen, the temperature is 110 degrees. Wolfman: Holy s**t, it's Viper! Goose: Viper's up here, great... oh s**t... Maverick: Great, he's probably saying, "Holy s**t, it's Maverick and Goose." Goose: Yeah, I'm sure he's saying that.

The birth of another Big Bird

Happy birthday big guy! http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/magazine/7880808.stm Looking forward to this one Ed. -
Red Pilot
allenjb42 replied to The Trooper's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mods/Skinning Discussion
I like it! Hope it's included as a complete pilot in part 2 of the pack. How about posting it at SimHQ? Maybe it will inspire Cat to do another Sacha story in WOx? Especially as we've got a Black Sea terrain for her to fly over. -
The French carrier Clemenceau is on it's way to dry dock in Teeside to be broken up: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/7872650.stm What if a crack team of current and former military operators and assorted hangers-on, drawn together by their love of simming, beer and eels (not necessarily in that order) intercepted the ship en route and set course for the mid Atlantic? A second team would walk into the Boneyard and secure a number of naval aircraft - Hornets, Tomcats and some Vikings which have just recently become available - which they would fly to rendevous with the carrier (with tanker support provided by our very own Storm). A third team would make a stop-off in the UK to pick up some passengers for the ride and a spot of keelhauling under the watchful eye of our very own Racindriver1. Then a leisurely cruise southwards and around Africa (I don't think we could sneak into the Med and through Suez) during which some real MP dogfights will prove once and for all that the Tomcat is better than the Hornet, and Mannie can practice flying through the hangar deck for real! Next stop, the Gulf of Aden to sort out those pesky Somali pirates. After which we can head for the Persian Gulf and an appointment with some nuclear facilities that need dismantling with extreme prejudice. After that we can travel the world righting wrongs with a girl/boy in every port and not a snowflake to be seen, unless someone wants to try the DBS campaign for real! Who's with me?

He 111H-3 Slovakian Air Force, Trencin, Spring 1943
allenjb42 posted a topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - File Announcements
File Name: He 111H-3 Slovakian Air Force, Trencin, Spring 1943 File Submitter: allenjb42 File Submitted: 19 Dec 2008 File Category: HE-111/JU-88 and Other Twin Engine Aircraft He 111 Skins Readme These skins are for the various versions of the He-111 created by the Dev A-Team and modded by me. The skins are interchangeable between aircraft versions, but for historical accuracy you should install them to the appropriate model. This skin is based on the work of Alessandro Biagi for the Ground Crew Design Team He-111H series for CFS2&3. To install, just extract the file to your Objects\Aircraft\He-111xx folder and go fly. It's that simple! The skin should be available in the drop down menu of the He-111xx Hangar Screen loadout section. Heinkel He 111H-3, Slovakian Air Force, Trencin, Spring 1943 Thanks must go to the following: Alessandro Biagi for his work in creating the skin (I just converted it for use in SF) and for his kind permission in allowing me to bring the skins to the SF community. The SF Dev A-Team for creating this plane to fly in the Thirdwire sims. TK for SF,WOV,WOE,FE,WOI and who knows what else. Have fun, and good hunting! Allen (allenjb42) Burton Any problems, find me at combatace.com, simhq.com or the A-Team Skunkworks http://cplengineeringllc.com/SFP1/ Click here to download this file -
I love it when a plan comes together....(always wanted to say that! ) Oh, we might need some financing. Do you think Mk2 would be gracious enough to assist, or are we going to have to rob multiple Vegas casinos on the same night?
-
Well we can always re-introduce the traditional rum ration! As for picking planes, if the size of the deck is a problem I guess I'd go for an A-4, maybe one of those fancy A-4R Fightinghawks.

Something Different
allenjb42 replied to Dave's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mods/Skinning Discussion
Great stuff. Wonder if TK will do this for Strike Fighters Europe or whatever the Vista version of WOE is going to be called? -
CL, would you be in if we could get you this to fly? http://courtesyaircraft.com/F-AZDQ%20Skyraider%20Spec.htm

Then you'll just have to learn to land with the wings swept back

Lol, they don't call Manchester the Rainy City for nothing! More seriously, with the increased global warming, apparently this will lead to more snow in the UK in the near future so the government had better start planning for that now. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/topics/weather/...scientists.html

F-117A
allenjb42 replied to Trancer's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mods/Skinning Discussion
Well someone could always mod this to the Micropose version of the F-117, which was like their F-19, with an internal gun and 4 weapons bays that could carry just about anything in the USAF arsenal. -

VW Hippy Van
allenjb42 replied to JimBeamer5's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - File Announcements
Lol, 'Scooby Doo, Where Aaarrre You?' We'll need some of the hippy version parked outside RAF Greenham Common in the next rebuild of the cold war EAWEuro terrain. -
By Dawn's Early Light was a great film. It was based on the book Trinity's Child by William Prochnau. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trinity's_Child I read it when it came out in 1983 and it scared the cr*p out of me!
