Welcome to the War Yanks!
daddyairplanes replied to UK_Widowmaker's topic in WOFF UE/PE - General Discussion
you know in regards to anti american Europeans, i noticed during my 3 year stint in Germany that the older generations tended to appreciate and get along with us Yanks while the younger generation for whom WWII and the Cold War were lessons in a history book tended to dislike and pick the fights with us. not just Germans, but french English and most other nationalities. as for our timing yea we mightve been late to the first two big shindigs, thats why we stick around to be first in line for the next big bar fight! btw due to previous experiences with the french military, no i didnt forget to capitalize them -

SF2 Screenshot Thread
daddyairplanes replied to Stary's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
@ Dave and so when exactly can we expect the Gen2 C model Viper (he said drooling on himself) @ Spinners whats up with your whif site? it seems to not let guests in any more to view the backstories on your work. hopefully yer admins there let my request to join thru, since the backstories are my fav part of your releases. after getting the Mig-23 to use up his energy circling me while i took potshots with the pod i used my most effective weapon.... radios! finally @veltro2k, since when does the Oscar Duece have radar? -
No campaign folder
daddyairplanes replied to DEVIL11's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
devil11, 1 you will need to use a cat extractor to pull the campaign files for any campaign you wish to mod. for ANY folder you wish to have in your mods folder you will have to make it if you dont see it there already. (stomps floor twice) if you dont see it you will have to make it. also this info can be found in the Knowledge Base. http://combatace.com/topic/44798-adding-aircraft-to-campaigns-in-sf2/ -

Mi-24 Hind Take off problems
daddyairplanes replied to irati's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
my Mi-24D uses rolling take off and i have never noticed this problem. my Mi24D is a kitbash of the same and the Mi 35 found in the d/l section here. i didnt do very much ini editing at the time either, so its not something i did i dont think. -
AIM-4 performance
daddyairplanes replied to PraetorH's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
ONLY reason i have AIM-4 in my game is cause i want my F-102 and 106 in game. beyond that i pulled a COL Olds and got those G$#$@ned things off of my birds. Ini edits are a beautiful thing! -

daddyairplanes replied to EricJ's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
very true, given that if presented the chance from the TW politicians, most crews will shoot the migs a$$ off at maximum Sparrow or Slammer range and not dogfight! then again im thinkin along the lines that fighters make movies, while bombers make history! -

NF4 issues?
daddyairplanes replied to Emp_Palpatine's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
yes quite a bit has progressed in your absence. thats what you get for being on a site with so many military folks onboard. people who will take over and get the job done when the head honcho is out! -
Aircraft Skinning
daddyairplanes replied to raymin's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
there are F-4B and E templates in the SF2 download section as well. you could always start with those and figure out some of the basics( adding tailcodes, decal placement) -
NF4 issues?
daddyairplanes replied to Emp_Palpatine's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
also with your Mig15, check and see if its using the addon for NF4 or the stock one. if its the add on just move the pilot back in the data ini. info on how to follow if needed. if its the stock should work just fine. -
here's an idea......
daddyairplanes replied to daddyairplanes's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Sci-Fi/Anime/What If Forum
new idea along this road. post Airlift, towards the end of 1949. the tools and dies for Fw190, lets say the Dora and Me262 are gone. but the US and UK have several of the aircraft and whereabouts on the engineers. way back in the American and Brit sectors factories pop up as the aircraft are reverse engineered to develop the industrial base needed to put these aircraft back into production. of course some changes are made for the new circumstanses and developments over the last 4 years. 2 20mm canon in both birds, the 190 for CAS and the 262 for interception duties. however the Me will need a new engine. i think it was Galland who said he'd be unbeatable in a Avon powered 262? and as not to completely botch the timeline as occurred they would be under Allied control as an air arm of the BGS. hmmm.......... -
well have the syrians tried anything since 82?

course it's better still to have that epic last battle and find yourself the last one standin. one way to find out how it ends......... even applys to JMs scenario

nice turkish phantoms Dave tho as always(im not a rivet counter im not im not!) i think the nose on the gray birds is the gunship gray of the main body, not black. just a little eye like on wrenchs Warbirds Arnies. also with the RWR fairing check yer PM. might have to adjust abit since mine is only set for solid colors right now tho eventually (wife staying outta hospital and all )i wanna adjust so checkered colors show proper. any who.... it sucks bein winchester and playin as the bait but ya gotta feel good bout downin a dozen Hinds. support your local QRA -
Soviet Jet Hunt
daddyairplanes replied to Geary's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
best bet is to search the Gen 1 download section for what you want. there is some Red air in the Gen 2 as well. but 500 some aircraft, cockpits and skins (in Gen 2) to over 5000 in gen 1, you do the math. also read over the Knowledge Base carefully. that is your TM, FM and 13&P for changin older birds to Gen 2 standard. be advised some are so old they will have holes in the model(shows as white spots in the skin) or act really wierd or just look like crap. ok well the crap originates from another site but more on that later. good luck huntin and convertin and if you find some orbats for the Russian side circa 1948 lemme know! -
Soviet Jet Hunt
daddyairplanes replied to Geary's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
as for order of installon NF4+, go from oldest to newest. the Su27 is in there as is the Mig-29. the naval Flanker is available in the Gen2 download section. for skins for both look in the Gen1 download section for skins for Mirage Factory (MF or TMF) aircraft. those should be compatable although you may have to place the decal folder in the correct folder in your SF2 mods folder. i think the 35 is covered as a what if (maybe the Spanish Flanker) and can be converted back with the right skins and some ini editing.
