Same here. 4 KB/s maximum speed. It seems that it has to do with the site. -
What are you ?
tiopilotos replied to TeargasHorse's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
Many options here: F-4E is a reliable aircraft and its ability of carrying heavy load of different weapons makes it suitable for many missions. However its limited maneuverability, is a vital disadvantage. Mirages are very effective in air to air missions. Mirage IIIC can easily be among the top jet fighters (if not the best) of the 60s. Mirage 2000C/E can be a deadly threat if flying by experienced pilot. Mirage F.1C/E is also very effective but we should wait for the upcoming release. Early Migs (15/17/19) are nice to fly but lack of missiles means insistent hunting. Mig-23 though can be a very dangerous opponent if using carefully its AA-7 missiles and that's what I like most on this aircraft. For Mig-25 and Su-27 we have no exclusive SF2 versions, so better wait when they come out. -

What are the Must Have Mods?
tiopilotos replied to Azref's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
A number of full pack mods is available so it depends on your taste which you're gonna add. NATO Fighters, Operation Desert Storm, Scandinavian Front, Korea, Operation Darius, Falklands are some of your choices. Reloaded Mod and Sarcasm 1.4 are good choices as they improve the stock game. I suggest you to add Stary's latest GermanyCE HR terrain, SAM and AAA Packs. -

Adding new aircraft
tiopilotos replied to aggressor16's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
If you are new to SF2 you should read the Knowledge Base and especially this http://combatace.com...the-mod-folder/ before add something. In general, the process is very easy. You put aircrafts to aircrafts mod folder, decals to decals mod folder and so on but you need to know what is the "Mod Folder". -

Replacing stock callsigns
tiopilotos posted a topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
Is there any way to replace the stock callsigns (Gopher, Tuna, Kingfish, etc) with others? Is there any .ini file that has to be edited for that reason? Thanks. -

Replacing stock callsigns
tiopilotos replied to tiopilotos's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
Inside nations.ini (extract it from flight folder from your installation directory) you can see under each nation the line PilotNameList=NamesXXX.lst. This line tells to game where to look for the available callsigns for each air force. Of course, stock game includes only US call signs, so all air forces use it by default. If you want to create a callsign which will be used all the time, I guess you have to delete the other ones inside callsignus.lst and keep only one. But if you do this, every flight should use the same name, so you have to create an another callsignXX.lst Create an .lst file, name it as you like, drop it into flight folder (of your mods directory), open it and add these lines: [DefaultCallsign] XXX <--- Put here the name you like [GroundCallsign] Delta 47 Echo 77 Gulf 88 Hotel 45 Kilo 52 Mike 83 November 90 Papa 34 Sierra 68 Tango 61 Victor 14 Zulu 29 [ReconCallsign] Kodak [FACCallsign] Snoopy Probably it's gonna work but you need to edit the subtitles.srt and change the .wav files cause you will hear the stock ones while in the screen you will see the one you selected. After this don't forget to assign the nation with your new callsign.lst. (described at the top of the post) -

Same here, can't download the skins. Also this is not the right place for downloads. Mods & Skinning Discussion is for discussion, not for download links. -

AIM-7 Sparrow
tiopilotos replied to ravenclaw_007's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
I didn't know that AIM-7C wasn't operational although I've never read something like that. Speaking about sparrow, do you believe that the stock versions have higher kill probability than the real ones? AIM-7E is the only one with a very low ratio but all others (AIM-7E-2, AIM-7F, AIM-7M) have surprisingly higher ratio. Even the most advanced versions (AIM-7M/P) have an estimated Pk=0.4 although in SF2 this number is higher. Of course, missile effectiveness can be limited by Noise and CM Rejection in Weapons Editor. In an effort of making SF2 more realistic, maybe you can edit the new sparrows behave more like the real ones. Just a thought. -

Really nice work ravenclaw! I guess the other AIM-7E subvariants (AIM-7E-2/3/4) will also be included. -

Is it possible to make this great effect by Stary to work in SF2 ? -
Heavy Snowfall effect in SF2 ?
tiopilotos replied to tiopilotos's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
Baltika is right. I searched for this line inside blizzardeffect.ini but didn't find it, so I just added the line under [blizzardMaterial] and it works. -
Heavy Snowfall effect in SF2 ?
tiopilotos replied to tiopilotos's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
Here's an old screenshot in which you can see how dense is the snowfall when using this effect. Did it look like this, the effect in your installation? Same here. I am pretty sure that I installed this effect long time ago in SF2 and as far as I can remember, it worked fine. Problem is that it doesn't work any more at least in my installation. Maybe the latest patches of the game include changes which cancel effect's installation. -

Opening the Canopy
tiopilotos replied to morteza1374's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
Open F-5E_data.ini and search for the line animation. This line will tell you which is the keyboard combination for opening the canopy. Usual combination is Shift + 1 or Shift + 0.
