Is there............?

Warmed, not triggered... (to prevent the fusing device from freezing)

realistic conflict
Shaolin replied to viper11's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
The ini file entries only work in 2nd gen sims, right? -
Don't get me wrong (I know it's a pretty emotional topic - epecially for Americans), but the basic idea of kamikaze is not THAT dumb - it has a strong psycological effect on the opponents, and a higher precision than automatic guiding systems of the time. Don't forget the cultural difference - a single life didn't count that much... And every military - be it then or now - sees soldiers who give their lives for others as "heroes" (even if it doesn't really save anybodies life - as long as "the others" die, everything is ok...). You can call me a cynic, but in my eyes there are no heroes in a war - only victims - some alive, some not (and I really don't know which ones are the more fortunate)...

I#m not sure if i want to know...

Well, if it's about the balls it takes to fly the raid, every single voluntary flown kamikaze mission would be above the Polesti raid - a mission you can only end successful if you die...

Some cartoons from my favourite cartoon-website (I took only the best you can understand without speaking German...): And one with text: "In the last few weeks I was a little bit lazy."

HE-177 Grief Wip
Shaolin replied to Veltro2k's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Prop Heads Forum
Oh, the flying lighter BTW: "Greif" (griffon) not "Grief" or "Greiff" ;) (Why do english speaking people always write "ie" instead of "ei"??? - "ei" is pronounced "aye" (or the "name" of the character "i"), "ie" like "ee") -
WW2 WIPS
Shaolin replied to Baltika's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Prop Heads Forum
I know, the "cheap" way of mapping ... And that's one of the reasons my first model is still far from completion - I have to learn "real" mapping first (the other main problem is a lack in motivation:boredom:)! BTW: It will be a WWII model... -
WW2 WIPS
Shaolin replied to Baltika's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Prop Heads Forum
Looks like the mapping on the upper side of the fuselage is heavily distorted... (The mapping, not your skin!) -
Air War over europe campaign
Shaolin replied to Veltro2k's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Prop Heads Forum
Yes, "Fliegerhorst" (with "ie") is the correct term (Flugplatz is only used for civil airports)! (btw: "Horst" is - in this case - the german word for nests of birds of prey - especially eagles ["Adlerhorst"]. And it's a name ) And remember: nouns are always written upper case in German! -
Glückwunsch, und alles Gute! ...von nun an wird "Schlaf" für dich nur noch in deiner Erinnerung zu existieren...

OK, Where is the EAW Combat Ace Forum?
Shaolin replied to Col. Gibbon's topic in EAW - General Discussions
The 24 bit has nothing to do with the 32/62 bit you may know from your OS - it's the bit depth of the used textures - and 24 bit is the most common depth (BMPs are 24 bit!)... -
OK, Where is the EAW Combat Ace Forum?
Shaolin replied to Col. Gibbon's topic in EAW - General Discussions
Does it run on XP? If it does (and supports higher resolutions) I'll go searching for my copy soon (I think it was one of the games I packed away in my cellar just two weeks ago...)! -
How to change your Regional Code
Shaolin replied to Olham's topic in WOFF UE/PE - General Discussion
Careful, as far as I know the number of changes is limited! (Don't know if it is still that way with the modern players, but be careful...) -
Ravenclaw and Soulfreak
Shaolin replied to Dave's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
Maybe he wants a copy of the "PM"? -
Combining Gmax Objects from Different Files?
Shaolin replied to Bullethead's topic in WOFF 1 2 3 / UE - Skinning / Modeling Help
Select the part(s), export them (not "export" but "export selected") and import them in the other model - now you just have to place it (if it has the same scale - if not - good luck...). -

Dewoitine D.520? -
The thing I never understand is: what's so great killing helpless (and defenseless) animals with a gun? If you would go hunting boars with only a knife, that would be skill (and pretty equal chances...)! But a deer with a gun - that's like shooting cars on the autobahn with a LAW...

P-38 FMs for testing...
Shaolin replied to Wrench's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Prop Heads Forum
That should get interesting... (PropHeads use Gen1 sims on 06 patch level) -

Forum suggestions!
Shaolin replied to 76.IAP-Blackbird's topic in Site Support / Bug Reports / Suggestions
Not sure if this is the right thread, but there is a thing bothering me - the new way showing images! I like to klick at the images with my mouse's middle button to open them in new tabs in the background (so I'm able to read on while the pics are loading), and because they were in their original format my browser could fit bigger images to my resolution (my 'net-rig is an old machine with a smaller monitor). The new "integrated" system makes it impossible - it is even impossible to save posted schematics (like in this post) on the HD... -
As long as they don't have to face the consequences of their decisions (meaning: as long as they don't have to be in the front line with a gun in their hand), it will never change!

M-163 Komet
Shaolin replied to Veltro2k's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mods/Skinning Discussion
I think its is done as a jet with AB from the beginning (to get the fuel consumtion and the nice flame ). -
ATIU reports....

There already is: "Sakeen" (Knife)
