Well they are still flying around in my WOE in 2030. LOL He's gotta be careful for those SU-30s ya know..

If that is the real PAK FA in the schematic, there may be issues with stealth. For Example, the F-22 uses equal wing angles (also known as Planform Alignment) and re-entrant triangles to deflect radar waves, not just stealth paint. These contributing factors lead to the reduced cross section. If this is the PAK FA again, it will be picked up on radar.

I hear when he nears Alaska, Elmendorf AFB's Raptors will escort him to protect him from the Soviets.

Need Help after Patching a clean install - NOW CTD!

FIXED, but now another problem... -
Deleting Weapons in Weapons Editor
TheStig posted a topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
I'm thinking of doing pulling a "START" on my weapons in WOE. I have too many rocket pods listed for each type (i.e 8 LAU-10s) and want to only have one or two showing of my choice. If I start deleting some of the entries via the weapons editor, will the number sequences change with each weapon deleted? Will it screw any of the numerical sequences up? -
Deleting Weapons in Weapons Editor
TheStig replied to TheStig's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! CTD now after deleting multiple rocket pods! MissileObject.DLL looks like the cause. See below... Help... cannot reinstall as my CD/DVD drive is fragged. -
Running WOE without CD/DVD
TheStig posted a topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
My CD/DVD drive crapped out on me last night and won't read any CD's or DVD's at all. I launched WOE to my surprised that it works without the CD/DVD on startup. However, does the game look for the CD when you play single missions, instant action or campaigns? In short, can it be run without the CD? -
Running WOE without CD/DVD

By patched if you mean I am running the Oct 2008 patch, then I sure am and many thanks for the reply! No more WOx withdrawls then! -
Although in actual history, the lower nose Sidewinder racks were never used to do greatly reducing the efficiency of launching AIM-9s from that location, I want to add them to my F-104C in the game. The model is Dave's that I downloaded off of this site in the A/C package. Is ajundair did an F-104G with these weapon stations. I was wondering if the pylons and copying/pasting those weapon stations from his Data file into the F-104C would allow me to utilize them and show correctly on the flight model with pylons. If there is a better way, please let me know... Thanks!

Adding Sidewinder Nose Racks to Dave's F-104C from his A/C Package
TheStig replied to TheStig's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mods/Skinning Discussion
Under the curse of insomnia on a week night last night, I found out how to add them. I just copied them from the F-104G. Even though they technically were not used, they are definitely being used now in this alternate era video game. I even gave the F-104C Sparrow capability. If the Italians could have them on their 'S' variant, why not the Americans in a Cold War gone hot? -
Did a New Main Screen

Just messing around with the main screen from TW. A Cold War from 1948 to 2025 in my WOE does not just happen in Europe.. -

SF-1. Kinda gives the game a nice updated look from the start. -
Can I use the SF2 B-52G/H gray skin on my SF1 B-52G/H
TheStig replied to TheStig's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
Got it! It wasn't in ANSI (the Textureset.ini). Thanks for your help again Dave. The skins look beautiful on something so damned ugly. I love it! -
I think I have been bit by the bug that wants another thirdwire game. I couldn't bring myself to buy WOV before since I thought I pretty much have the best of both worlds just getting WOE and downloading all the Vietnam Era aircraft. Not the case I guess. I'd like to have the Vietnam campaign and the ability to launch from carriers. Are there any tips for merged installs between WOV and WOE? I have WOE already patched to 10/2008. I plan on doing a separate WOV install and then WOE right over it. Do I install to the same folders for this to work? Also, I have aircraft that are already found in WOV like the F-4B and F-4J. Do I just transfer my skins from the old ones I have to the WOV versions? Any comments on this will be great. I look forward to this mini project. Thanks!

TheStig replied to TheStig's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
I'm not at home right now, but I am going to check and see if the INIs are in ANSI code as soon as I get the chance. Something is telling me they aren't and that could be why. Thanks for your help so far Dave! -

TheStig replied to TheStig's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
They are not. The BMP names are the same as the SF1 camo skins that came with the B-52G/H package -

TheStig replied to TheStig's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
How do I tell if they went to Unicode. I pretty did the same thing I did with every skin I have installed on WOE aircraft. Maybe I am missing this coding step in the ini. And which INI are you talking about? The textureset.ini that's in your skin folder? -

Hey Dave I am sorry to say the SF2 skins don't work on the SF1 WO* B-52s. At least they aren't for me. The skin doesn't even show in the hanger arming screen. Bummer... Any ideas? I've directed everything I can to my B-52H folder and that didn't help either. Why would it not even be recognizing it? -
AC-130 bags an interesting target...

I was looking at the defense suppression image and wondering... What's to stop the F-15 from making it a "Missile Truck" -

Isn't that the cockpit that has boresight avionics still and no TWS? -

I'll take that as a no :cray: -
I think we are reaping what we sow. A full compliment of F-35s to satisfy our armed forces will not happen until 2020. We will need the F-22 in a lot more ways than they think right now. Keep your fingers crossed; hopefully there will be Raptors in the 2011 Defense Bill.
