Problem converting aircrft from SF1 to SF2
tiopilotos replied to tiopilotos's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
Actually there is a HAF F-4E AUP in SF2 download section but these aircrafts were upgraded in late 90s. I just want to have the original greek HAF F-4E that was operational between 1974 - 2005. These aircrafts were using the great blue camo during 80s - late 90s. These are some lines from the aircraft's data but I think I should just copy data.ini from SF2 F-4E because convertion here seems to be hard. Some [NoseGear] SystemType=LANDING_GEAR Retractable=TRUE DeployTime=5.0 AnimationID=1 DragArea=0.25 HideGearNode=TRUE ModelNodeName=gear_strut_front InsideNodeName=gear_bay_front ShockAnimationID=5 ShockStroke=0.40 SpringFactor=1.3 DampingFactor=1.8 WheelNodeName=wheels_front RotationAxis=X-Axis ReverseWheelRotation=TRUE RollingRadius=0.26 CastoringWheel=TRUE CastoringNodeName=gear_swivel Steerable=TRUE MaxSteeringSpeed=41.15 Locking=FALSE MaxSteeringAngle=70.0 InputName=YAW_CONTROL ControlRate=2.0 HasBrakes=FALSE RollingCoefficient=0.05 MaxDeploySpeed=128.61 MaxLoadFactor=5.0 [LeftMainGear] SystemType=LANDING_GEAR Retractable=TRUE DeployTime=5.0 AnimationID=2 DragArea=0.50 HideGearNode=TRUE ModelNodeName=gear_piston_left ShockAnimationID=10 ShockStroke=0.25 SpringFactor=1.3 DampingFactor=2.0 WheelNodeName=wheel_left RotationAxis=X-Axis RollingRadius=0.39 CastoringWheel=FALSE HasBrakes=TRUE BrakingCoefficient=1.15 RollingCoefficient=0.05 MaxDeploySpeed=128.61 MaxLoadFactor=6.0 [RightMainGear] SystemType=LANDING_GEAR Retractable=TRUE DeployTime=5.0 AnimationID=2 DragArea=0.50 HideGearNode=TRUE ModelNodeName=gear_piston_right ShockAnimationID=9 ShockStroke=0.25 SpringFactor=1.3 DampingFactor=2.0 WheelNodeName=wheel_right RotationAxis=X-Axis RollingRadius=0.39 CastoringWheel=FALSE HasBrakes=TRUE BrakingCoefficient=0.75 RollingCoefficient=0.05 MaxDeploySpeed=128.61 MaxLoadFactor=6.0 By the way, If I copy the blue camo of the SF1 F-4E HAF to an existing SF2 F-4E folder, the SF2 will display this skin? Thanks. -
Radar range modification
tiopilotos posted a topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
I want to change the radar search mode and lock on range for some specific aircrafts. For example I want to decrease the search mode range but I want also to increase the range in which I can lock an enemy aircraft in search mode. Can somebody tell me what changes should I make in aircraft's data? Thanks. -

Thanks FrankD, I think that everything is clear! -

What is 10m² RCS and how this is connected with SearchStrength? -

tiopilotos replied to tiopilotos's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
Now I become confused! Anyway thanks guys, I will try to understand what you said by experimenting in avionics.ini with these parameters. FrankD, when you say 10m² RCS, you mean that the aircrafts radar in SF2 can detect a target which has a minimum surface at 10m² ? -

It's OK now. I don't know what was the problem before but know download completed succesfully. Thanks! -

I don't know about you guys but I tried to download it 2 times, some minutes before and the size of the rar file was only 145 KB. -
Radar range modification
tiopilotos replied to tiopilotos's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
OK, I will come back later with some screenshots maybe. I made some changes in F-4E. I selected display ranges at 10, 20, 30 and 45 nm and maximum lock on range at 30 nm. When the enemy F-5s were at 12' o clock at 50 nm my radar didn't show them. Some seconds later when distance was shorter at about 44-45 nm the radar showed them! -
Mirage 2000B Export versions
tiopilotos replied to ludo.m54's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
A complete pack for sure. Actually I think that the best way to make this pack is to create the aircraft model and then to create detailed skins for each air force user. If mou make a complete pack with 6 different aircrafts (Mirage 2000B - TH - BM - DP - BG - DAD) the final size of the add on will be very big. In general that's my opinion about aircraft add ons. I prefer the basic aircraft model and then detailed skins for each user or even squadron. What about the single export version of Mirage 2000 AdA? Does somebody know when will it be available? Thanks. -

I tried to verify what you said but when I modified the range settings the actual search range is also affected. Anyway, Thanks guys, I will try to experiment with different values in these parameters. -

Thanks cocas but I have an another question. How can I modify the lock on range in search mode? For example, if an aircraft has 4 ranges in search mode 10,20,40 and 80 nm and the maximum lock on range is on 20 nm, how can I change it to be in 40 nm ? -

SF2 Mescalero Proving Grounds Part 5
tiopilotos replied to ChampionsVA56's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - File Announcements
I think the small treasure here is the greek F-102A. Never seen it before at any simulator. Some things about the greek delta daggers: In 1969, 20 F-102A and 2 TF-102A entered service with the greek air force. They remained in service until their replacement by Mirages F.1CG in 1975-77. F-102 is probably the aircraft which had the shortest service in the greek AF. -

I was wondering if there are any plans to see an Arab 1982 Lebanon War campaign. -

My mistake was that I have been checking manueverability with 80-100% internal fuel. Sorry for not being careful. Aircraft is just perfect! -

Nice cockpit but there's no gunsight! You have to guess where the ammo sould go. Even without gunsight I managed to finish my first campain in the syrian side of the 6 day war flying a Mig-19S with a total of 26 kills! -

I had once read a manual about Mirage 2000 and If I remember correct at about 340 kts the aircraft could reach 9 g at low altitude. Some pics of mine: -

Agree... Just wanted to mention these 2 disadvantages. I appreciate the work of the people who worked on this mod and I believe that if these 2 will be improved, this project would be perfect! -
Mirage Factory Mirage 2000 AdA

After some playing I have to say that in general the model is very good! Cockpit and HUD are also very realistic! Moreover there are 2 problems I think. Acceleration at supersonic speeds and manueverability. All aircraft models M2000-C1/C3/C4/C5 and M2000-5F can reach the maximum speed of 2.19 mach (which is the real maximum speed) after long time. Aircraft accelerates very slowly after 1.0 mach. Also the aircraft isn't as manueverable as the other Mirages 2000 of combat.ace in greater speeds than 300 kts. For example this aircraft at 330 kts can manuever with about 7.5 - 7.8 G at an instant turn while others from combat.ace can manuever with at least 8.5 G at 330 kts which I think is more realistic. If these two can be fixed this Mirage 2000 model will be awesome! I'm also waiting for the nexr versions (Greek, Egyptian, Indian, Peruvian, UAE etc) Yes, I am a Mirage 2000 fan! -
I have a problem last weeks with the SF2 Europe. Game crashes many times and in most cases I can't finish the mission. Game crashes usually when the explosion effects appear in the screen and in some other cases when game is paused for more than 10-15 seconds. I would be grateful for any help.

Game crash!
tiopilotos replied to tiopilotos's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
I haven't reseated the cards and I haven't played the game with one card. I think it's a good idea to see if SF 2 runs with one ATI HD 4850. -
Game crash!
tiopilotos replied to tiopilotos's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
I used the latest catalyst version and also I lowered the graphics level but problem still existed. It makes impression to me because this problem started when I had used one or two terrains that propably were not campatible with SF2. On the other hand there's no problem when using the WoE even in the highest graphics. I also had this problem with Flamming Cliffs 2 but notice something! Lock On FC 2 was working fine untill the problem with SF2 appeared!!! -

No, just the Feb 2010 patch, no mods.
