Whats better? BMP vs JPG?
daddyairplanes replied to Spudknocker's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
jpeg takes way less space. the C-17 i skinned recently originally had a universal bmp for 13 skins(skin in the main aircraft folder with nothing in the skin folders). it took less file space to use jpeg in all 13 folders instead. -

Strange decals on MiG-17 "Fresco-A"
daddyairplanes replied to Sheriff001's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
thats stock? interesting, but the simple solution is to delete the finflash portion, or at least comment it out. if that is stock, dont think TK will do much about it -

Coastal Range preview II
daddyairplanes replied to ignacioc91's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
Also, keep army equipment seperate from airfields. Even Camp Bondsteel had the tanks and howitzers on the opposite side of the heliport, trucks without trailers and jeeps are fine though spreadcaround not lined up like a motor pool Looks outstanding, just something that stands out to me.. -

One: why do big releases always come out after i've gone to tablet for the evening Two: was looking at HS748 airlines and came across this No evidence of actual use, but has that stopped some of the other things we've seen here? -
3D Max gone (solved)
daddyairplanes replied to 76.IAP-Blackbird's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
Agreed. Upgrade for sake of it, Win10 isnt enough. But Win10 isnt so bad (like say win8) that i will avoid it when hopefully i get a new comp next year. -

Limited crowd funding for SF 3d modelling
daddyairplanes replied to Do335's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
Overall a bad idea esp publicly. Those that are very skilled wont likely do it as the amounts listed are not comparable compensation for the time put in. This is hobby for them and you have to basically hope your wants line up with theirs As to when done, either a specific contract needs to be spelled out prior to offer of payment. Otherwise its done when the author says its done, and woe if either side changes the specs mid job. I do understand the sentiment, but it seems to run against what i've seen in this community for the last several years -

Did it take part in the Battle of Britain? And if so were any downed, then refurbished for RAE? -
Also in a major fight, all ships will become targets. It's why exclusion zones are declared now by those that care to ( mining of Hanoi/Haiphong, Falklands). General theory is that after a certain grace period (48hrs- a week) anyone left is fair game. Yes negates my earlier wolf in with sheep camo, but in reality the USN wont do that. Besides the main point of the arsenal ship is low cost and high rates of fire, not stealth. Another idea for full on conflict however is to develop packages to go on merchant ships so every ship in a convoy contributes to the defence. A few with AA packages, a few with ASW packages, and a few carrying Harpoons. Not a large set up mind you as the main mission is still the cargo. But 6 ships in a convoy carrying 12 Patriots or other modular system boosts the convoys anti air by at least a third.

Where's the Arrow from? -
By act of Congress, Iowa and Wisconsin are to be maintained so that they can be recommissioned if needed. However, no ones making the parts, so IF (pretty big damned IF) they were to be recommissioned, only one would go while the other became a parts bin. More cost efficient is to convert a couple of container ships to carry 160 Tomahawks, a pair of rail guns and i'm sure you can find space to place a det of 2-4 AH-1Zs for recce, mid range defence and other odd jobs. Whats more is you change the profile of the ship minimally and max use of off platform sensors (most likely drones, satellite generated intel or EP-3) so electronically it looks like any other cintainer ship. But thats just my $0.02.
