Saitek AV8R-02 and SF2:V
Romflyer replied to Orangehat44's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
I am pretty happy with my AV8R-1(for now).......I have a feeling that Saitek is gonna put out a new hotas pretty soon that will replace the X-52/52pro.....I'm not talking about the touch sensative dual throttle peice of art that they recently released (to rich for me).......I am holding out for them to release the same stick as the X-52, but without the silly space-ship looking design -
How to reduce choppy frames
Romflyer replied to PadFoot's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
My suggestion would be to set all your in cockpit setting up (mirrors/reflections etc.) turn your external settings to about half (shadows, details, etc.) bring the visual distance in to 'normal', definately get your track ir hooked up, and most importantly turn off alt-d so your not watching the numbers .......and enjoy flying From there you can try tweeking some of your external settings upwards (one at a time) to see how much extra detail you can squeeze before it starts costing you in performance. edit......also, set your resolution to match your monitors native resolution. -
not that there's anything wrong with that.

Well I watching that video good thing they invented a MUTE button though........I really can't listen to country music.......... it gives me a rash

That's it!!! ......I'm getting one of those little cap things and moving.........but not to The UK

So I've had my Iphone for about a year now and ever since I got it I've been searching for the ultimate sim for on my phone.........I finally found one that is truly worth having http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KnGaQJKnsyM&feature=related I have tried out more than a few similar applications and each one has fallen short of my expectations, but this one does a fairly good job of fullfilling my sim-addiction when sitting down in front of the computer isnt an option. If you have an Iphone this app has a free demo which gives you a some training and a few missions, then you will need to spend $1 to get the full game...........allmost as good of a deal as spending $20 on a TW game

I completely forgot that Capt Sheridon was in Tron
-
Predictable...........I'll give you that, but not to the point that the movie was spoiled. I saw it twice, first time in 2d and I thought the movie showed well in 2d......it was better in 3d, but if it was only released in 2d I dont think it would have been any less of a movie, it was still a BIG screen movie in 2d......just not quite as big Last night I watched the Hurt Locker...........Great movie!!
-
I don't agree about the 2d version.......it was still an exceptionally entertaining film in 2d, a long ways above average ......allthough the 3d version did hit it out of the park It is strange the way our human nature wants us to down play this movie because it has become so popular and successful........it is a bit disconcerting to think that "I" am just like all the other sheep that liked this movie, and it's easy to have this knee-jerk reaction saying "yah, it wasnt THAT good"..... this kind of thinking helps to set us apart from the masses(in our own mind) Even if this type of movie(sci-fi) isnt your thing..........this is still a great movie

I was just the right age for Tron, and I loved it. Those trailers look great, wont be out until next Christmas though. as for Escape from NY Snake Bliskin!!?.........I thought you'd be bigger?

To be, or not to be? That is the question.
Romflyer posted a topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
I've been brainstorming a few ideas, and I was wandering if 1)The annoying radar screen that I was so happy to get rid of months ago....can it be easily moved to different locations on the screen , like from the top right corner to the bottom corner? 2)can a similar display (to the earlier mentioned annoying radar screen) be displayed showing other displays like RWR or a moving map HSI, in seperate stationary windows like the radar display? Cheers Rom -

Why have some modders gone to payware?
Romflyer replied to Dogzero1's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
Perhaps I should give rotary wing a go in a TW game....... my experiences in FS with whirly-birds have been......far from satisfying and by that I mean I'm glad know one was watching As for the payware thing, all I wanted to say was that I have no problem opening up my wallet for the right payware product.......I actually wish I could find something payware for SF that I really need to have, but there just doesnt seem to be anything out there that grabs me, that and the fact that we have so many AMAZING freeware products available, many of which I would have bucked up for if I needed to Something else I have noticed is that the few payware products that are around don't seem to be doing much to get our attention, I mean before I decide that I'm ready to buy a plane I want to be able to look through a bunch of pictures and a list of features, I want to know that the cockpit is gonna be spectacular and details are gonna be right and so on , and so on. But the few payware sites I've seen seem pretty sparse on detail.......just my two cents -
Why have some modders gone to payware?
Romflyer replied to Dogzero1's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
Thanks for the link Not the first time I've been called 'captain observant' Both the bird dog and the AH-1 look quite nice, but to be honest, for me TW games are all about going fast....these games do jets better than anybody else, when I wanna fly a Cessna I load up FS and pull out a Carenado. Are there any other noteable payware jets available for SF? -

Why have some modders gone to payware?
Romflyer replied to Dogzero1's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
I personally have spent quite a bit of money on FS payware, and have no reservations about shelling out for products that are worth the money......especially on quality planes with highly detailed cockpits. Is there a bunch of payware out there that I dont know about for TW games ?? I know about Razbam.....I know about YAP.....anyone have a list? -

Sense of scale
Romflyer replied to xclusiv8's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
As I was reading this thread I was thinking about how flat much of the stock scenery is, and how that can really mess with your perspective, my favourite scenery for this game is "Mountain Thaw" which is repaint of "American North-West" what makes it so great is the mountainous terrain and canyons to.........play in here is a link with some screenshots http://forum.combatace.com/topic/44981-mountain-thaw/page__fromsearch__1 Also Wrench's Southern California gives some much needed depth to the ground terrain. -
HUD displays
Romflyer replied to greyhawk's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
That's what I'm talkin about! Crusader, I am actually still using gen1 woe, one of things I like about the f18a is the carrot marker in the compass ribbon across the top of the HUD, will your new incorporate that?will it work in gen1?and any idea when you might be able to share? For that matter how difficult is it to add that 4.3 W2 to an existing HUD like in my f18a that I like so much? Cheers Rom
