weird never has been for me. it one don't work I use the other and all is fine though...... reading thru I notice there is a lot of LOD changes including 4 to the F-4N. can anyone with it who has patched check and see if he fixed the stabs so they're slotted? yea prob dreaming but hey..... -

Turning off Slime lights
daddyairplanes posted a topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
.... very specifically for the early RF-4C and RF-4B. been toying around with the B and realized it has slimers that stay on no matter what. can't find an entry in the data.ini to turn them off either. any suggestions? -
Turning off Slime lights
daddyairplanes replied to daddyairplanes's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
one final update....... doesn't quite work on the wingtips. makes a big ugly invisible spot and its more noticeable still to try to skin over it. so my mid seventies PhotoPhantoms will just have to have wingtip slime lights. still a lot better than where I was this afternoon. and I learned how to read an out file so there is some more knowledge down. -
Turning off Slime lights
daddyairplanes replied to daddyairplanes's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
scratch my last. that is indeed the answer. still new enough to max that I didn't know you could make parts of the model glow in the dark (well self illuminating I think was the phrase) just3 more nolite components to go. thanks guys! -
Turning off Slime lights
daddyairplanes replied to daddyairplanes's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
Ok sounds doable. If i forward you the out file would you mind showing me how it should look in the data ini? I think i' ve got it but this is my first time messing round in there. -
US Army airfields in Germany and Vietnam
daddyairplanes posted a topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
one of my distracted searches of late has been into US Army airfields in Germany. several had runways of at least 3000 ft. what i'm wondering is why they haven't been included in the likes of NF5 or Stary's GermanyCE. it would give several more airfields for dispersion in wartime, as well as a place for the Apaches and Hueys currently available as well as any future helos to operate from. I titled this and Vietnam cause it goes to figure that terrain would benefit as well. not a terrain guru but I would think this could be done with a new airfield (small runway, large apron, no shelters) and some placement. just a thought, even if the answer is no due to workload. -
US Army airfields in Germany and Vietnam
daddyairplanes replied to daddyairplanes's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
Hmppppf. As said i was doing some research into it for my own amusement. Was actually going a different route on finding units when i started. But several of those i found had runways between 2200 and 3000. Its why i thought of it. -
Hi-Res F-105?
daddyairplanes replied to mysonsaysaudi's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
and remember if you use mine, either use the squadronlist.ini I provided or rename the decals. I plugged the 466th TFS into the ini so it would call out the decals. a much further down the road project is to do decal packs for the ANG and AFRES on the Thud and the Hun, as well as the SLUF. but that's more two months than two weeks out. -

Note to Self / Things to Do
daddyairplanes replied to Geary's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
That is easy to do. However, once at 500 ft AGL, you will have the attention of every swingin dick with a BB gun or bigger. Any one know how to say "shoot Pyle" in vietnamese, russian or german? -
Wings Over Russia Project
daddyairplanes replied to Jug's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - World War II Forum
Very true. I have it and Wings over Africa cause i wanted the planes. But i ran out of the time i thought i had to bring em to Gen 2, and thst idea went down to a lower priority. Still they do work for smoke testing in Gen 2....... that is they will load in game and your comp won't catch on fire!! -

No info about Su-22U Fitter-E
daddyairplanes replied to 76.IAP-Blackbird's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
Question: are the sources you'been looking in Western or Russian? I ask because of how NATO has messed up before. Example...... the TU-26 ala TU-22M. -
Strike Fighters 2 Android Screenshots
daddyairplanes replied to EricJ's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
Guess i'll kick of the screenies here. As said in another thread i play this while waiting on my kids at school or wife at the docs. I play it on my Galaxy Note tablet, which puts the screenie button about an inch below the down throttle button. Semi easy for me esp towards the end of games. Will try to grt the new additions as they come along, the goal is a free Raptor this summer. Yes i am that stubborn and cheap! -
depends on the conflict. Jan 1991, start of OEF and OIF they were mainly interdiction going deep and striking critical targets. but that same fuel load that allows them to go deep into enemy territory has allowed them over the last decade to take off from airfields we now own (Bagram, BIAP?) and loiter for a very long time waiting to support troops in contact.

More TW aircraft for Android
daddyairplanes replied to macelena's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
I knowit likely wont be, is why i post here now and again. As said earlier i mostly play while waiting to get the kids from school. I now hsve a goal of getting the Raptor for free. Wonder what will be said at TW if and when i do too...... and if i get a decoder ring with the Raptor XD Btw on level 33, and harrier sucks. As manueverable as a boulder, and speedy as a paperwieght. With no rwr or CM. Yea i know but after flying F-15C, F-14, and Mig-29 for awhile i guess i got pampered. -
Well... That's just funky...
daddyairplanes replied to Heck's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
No prob. Also will send you my squadronlist ini. Has every tactical Phantom user in the US as well as msny others. No need to add anyone with this, just number your decals accordingly. Also has a big buffer between stock and the start of mine so patching doesnt screw the works up. Will shoot you that in the morning -

daddyairplanes replied to Heck's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
I'm totally redoing the project starting with redoing the planes for the era (_78, _81), then i'm gonna get the decal inis fixed back this week. I'll shoot ya a copy if you still want after i get the first done. Making big use of the skin in main folder for this project as its a by year breakdown. I'm also using myTais work as a template but first i'm doing the LoViz and TPS years. Sorry i didnt respond sooner, i honestly forgot where this thread was Also what you have so far looks good. My trick is images from the internet..... esp of decals from model kits! -

daddyairplanes replied to Heck's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
A smarter mind will have to tell you why the bumpmap id affected. As to the decals thats really odd as i think i have more on my fuselage-P and dont recall this issue. But one thing i do is to combine the branch name, fuselage insignia, and sqn name all in one tga. Sure its big, but it works. For sqns like VF102 with extra markings, i included those as well.
