A Sentry FM issue....
daddyairplanes posted a topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
the E-3A Sentry for SF2 in NF4+ has an issue: a tendency to pull to the right from brake release to the first 50-60 kts of airspeed. i believe this has to do with the engine for the rotodome but it corrects as you gain speed and mainly manifests on the ground. i was thinking of an engine rotating the opposite direction underneath but not linked to anything or something such. any suggestions on how to correct this? -
A Sentry FM issue....
daddyairplanes replied to daddyairplanes's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
thrust angle and roll radius are things eyeballed before on planes pulling one way or antoher but the ykeep doing it til airborne, this one straightens at a third of the way to rotation speed, leading me to believe forward momentm cancels it out eventually. i'll keep lookin for abit here.... after takin another look left and right sides match engines and landing gear, tried adding .1 on the engine thrust for both left side engines and still no joy. dont wanna goo to high that route and affect flight characteristics.... -

Post Vietnam USAF F-4 Phantom INI, Skins and Decal mod
daddyairplanes posted a topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - File Announcements
File Name: Post Vietnam USAF F-4 Phantom INI, Skins and Decal mod File Submitter: daddyairplanes File Submitted: 24 June 2011 File Updated: 16 January 2012 File Category: SF2 Series Add On Aircraft This is a simple mod for the stock TW USAF Phantoms. It uses new decal folders to allow tailcodes for most units that flew after 1973, four main paint schemes that were used between Vietnam and the Phantom's Phinal Phlights in the 90's, and ini edits to take advantage of some effects, sounds and new weapons loadouts. If you wish to know more, please read the readme it should explain most everything. Thank you to Sundowner(most of the skins), Malibu43 and Spillone104, Slartibartfast, Wrench, Dave, EricJ and a host of others. I hope that You enjoy built up in SF2V/E/I/EXP1 and 2, Windows Vista. Will need SF2E to make all Phantoms work. Now updated to Sep 2011 patch. Click here to download this file -
Post Vietnam USAF F-4 Phantom INI, Skins and Decal mod
daddyairplanes replied to daddyairplanes's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - File Announcements
A Brief Announcement... the primary change in the Jul 11 patch to the data ini for the F-4D_78 and E_78 are that the #1 Sparrow station max wieght value is now 300 to allow for the AN/ALQ-131. the value in mine is currently 290 but can be increased. This ECM pod was not commonly seen until the mid 80's and then on predominantly strike tasked Phantoms such as the 4th TFW or "Killer" E models operating with "Hunter" G Weasel models. i will update this in the near future as well as adding a few other tweeks. Again thank you to all who are enjoying this mod so far. [sparrowStation1] SystemType=WEAPON_STATION StationID=6 StationGroupID=5 StationType=SEMI_RECESSED AttachmentPosition=-0.501,5.07,-0.84 AttachmentAngles=2.0,0.0,2.0 MissileRollAngle=45.0 EjectVelocity=0.0,0.0,-2.0 LoadLimit=300.0------------------------- change it to this from the original 290.0 if you would like to do it yourself! AllowedWeaponClass=SAHM,EP,LP AttachmentType=NATO,USAF MinExtentPosition= MaxExtentPosition= -

E-3A Squadron Stripes
daddyairplanes posted a topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mods/Skinning Discussion
ok my usual sources of info are letting me down so i shoot this question to the crowd.... what were the squadron colors for the E-3 units? i have the colors offa the Flagship Skin from NF4 but dont know who had what color. I do also know that Elmendorf based ones were AK coded and Kadena based ZZ (tho both fall under the 522d at Tinker)but again dunno the color stripes. TIA for any help -

Conquest of the Longbow
daddyairplanes replied to Dels's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
as for skins i think it would be more a matter of decalling as i cant think of anyone that uses something other than original colors. well outside the isrealis and SC National Guard. -

congrats on the retirement Dave! one more deployment and 3 1/2 and i'll be caught up with ya. @ firehawk i wore that to drill yesterday. course it was supposed to be a family day. instead we get told sunday morning that we are on order for med screening for two day on the first day of the orders! lets say half got the email sat at midnight and half did not. care to guess which half i was in? at least we got lunch with our families, before getting our shots. i never thought i would miss being in a signal battalion! back @ Dave now you can tell tales of how much worse you had it! you know how the bbq blew up and everyone including the wives had to get rabies shots at midnight etc etc etc
