German Bugs
daddyairplanes replied to crisisloaner's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
the whole reason for the Hornet/Growler purchase is that the Typhoons are not certified to carry B61s under NATO nuclear sharing. for some reason it was deemed easier to certify the Super Bug (its not certified to carry nukes either) than the Typhoon. The Tornadoes are getting old and its time to replace them. also mildly suprised Germany didnt decide to withdraw from Nuclear Sharing. fairly sure not everyone is part of that program -

need to add the new B61s if anyone does this up for release (can pm them if needed). also iirc some Growlers are part of the package to replace the EW Tornados -
well the US military is the oldest beaucracy in America. and the Air Force, being the youngest branch until last year, always seemed to double down to prove itself to the others i knew i've told it a few times before online, just forgot it was here (thought maybe Quora or FB). all the same, FRED is one BIG sucker, and makes even IL-76s and C-17s look small let alone helos and fighters

seen em at airshows, and watched one take off in a hurry one fine day in Iraq. found out later the tower told them to abort take off due to the ongoing mortar attack, and the pilot decided he wasnt sitting in the biggest target on the runway!! too bad the old dying whale imitaing a vacuum cleaner noise is gone with the new engines

B-52 Hangar
daddyairplanes replied to GKABS's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
office spaces look good. a typical environment for this in the US military (Army experience, but the USAF spends similar) is closer to cheap office cubicle than to anything from a movie, video game or the shopping mall above. the outsides are generally extremely boring too, unless the local commander approves some artistic renditions of unit logos. To that end, i'd suggest a Triangle K, as the 379th is now the Expiditionary Wing that handles bombers in CENTCOM. as such theyve been zapping (putting a small decal on) the bombers that pass thru. but bigger than 6 inches maybe on doors, maybe inside, maybe not at all. just some info for you show some 12 year old computers that just got upgraded to Win7 a year ago (yes in 2020), a vending machine and smoke pit outside and its perfect as is tho -

Crotale SAM system

Well thank you very much Kevin. Now i gotta put a whole new brand of ini editting so the Galaxies and DC-8s stop sitting on the ramp with tails jammed into each other. Seriously tho, thats good news as i was apprehensive of fighters at terminal gates! -
Crotale SAM system
daddyairplanes replied to GKABS's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
Huge open hangar would be awesome. But remember due to frackin parking chance it could often be empty, or funnier have a little Chipmunk where a big Boeing is supposed to go. But when the big birds are parked where theyre supposed to be, its a thing of beauty ( said the guy obsessed with multi engine aircraft) -

took a look at the Ju-87B data ini, given it was the first one i could think of that SHOULD have an actual person in the position (not a set of windows like most tail gun positions seem to be) [Pilot] SystemType=PILOT_COCKPIT PilotModelName=WW2LuftBmrPilot SetCockpitPosition=TRUE Position=0.0,-0.55,0.85 SeatModelName=seat_single SeatPosition=-0.0,-0.583,0.452 MinExtentPosition=-0.32,-0.05,0.15 MaxExtentPosition= 0.32,-1.05,1.65 CanopyNodeName=FrontCanopyFrame HasArmor=TRUE ArmorMaterial=STEEL Armor[FRONT].Thickness=75 Armor[REAR].Thickness=5 [RearGunner] SystemType=GUNNER_STATION SeatID=2 GunnerID=1 SetCockpitPosition=FALSE MinExtentPosition=-0.32,-1.0,0.15 MaxExtentPosition= 0.32,-2.0,1.65 PitchModelNodeName=MG15 YawModelNodeName=MG15Yaw GunRange=1500 PitchAngleRate=45 MaxPitch=70 MinPitch=-10 DefaultPitchAngle=25 YawLimited=TRUE YawAngleRate=45 MaxYaw=210 MinYaw=150 DefaultYawAngle=180 [GunCrew] SystemType=PILOT_COCKPIT PilotModelName=WW2GunnerCB SeatID=3 SetCockpitPosition=FALSE Position=0.0,-1.55,0.86 MinExtentPosition=-0.32,-1.0,0.15 MaxExtentPosition= 0.32,-2.0,1.65 CanopyNodeName=RearCanopyFrame HasArmor=TRUE ArmorMaterial=STEEL Armor[FRONT].Thickness=75 hope it helps -

What If Screenshot Thread.......
daddyairplanes replied to Dave's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Screen Shots
The RAAF implemented a policy of either historical nose arts on its B-1 fleet or of native wildlife, with a preference to birds. oddly, until 2011 A55-058 never recieved a nose art. that was until the Chitose Airshow of 2011. while on a stop at Kadena, the crew chiefs took the oppurtunity to add artwork from a popular Canadian cartoon , with a twist. The PM of Japan loved it soo much that he gushed over it during a televised meeting with the Australian PM. while the noseart violated official guidance on the bomber artwork, this high level approval meant it was mostly left alone. the title was removed in hopes of not angering the Hasbro executives. but that was how the blank bomber became Rainbow Dash -

Maybe someone might want to do a RAAF B-1B?
daddyairplanes replied to JosefK's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Sci-Fi/Anime/What If Forum
hell, unless you were doing a seperate desert skin i can knock out the israelis too. should just be a matter of "painting over " the Aussie markings an most numbers and leaving the last 3 of the serial on the tail. by paint over i would put a grey patch UNDER the new marking in the tga. no need to adjust anything other than a folder directory but i also had a thought of doing a flying gerbil, like the orange kangaroo but on the nose while the IDFAF is borrowing them. just gotta know how many they borrow (all arent realistic in any fashion) took one serial off for 2012, adding 4 that IRL went to AMARG in the early 2000s. finally B-1K is more British (F-4K, english version of the Aardvark was to be F-111K). I was thinking B-1C like the F-111 became in RAAF service. but can rename it all to K if you like (currently the folders are B-1B_RAAF)
