What would Cause CTD on an Intercept mission?
daddyairplanes replied to daddyairplanes's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
something to look into. it crashes immediately on choosing Accept or edit, so couldnt say anything about the ranges involved cause i dont know what its picking. but pretty sure none of the parties had Tu-16s, and the MiG-21bis only shows Syrian camo in the basic ini will try to look into it in the next couple days. closing my desktop down this week prepping for a move, so no more modding or checking for a bit -
What would Cause CTD on an Intercept mission?
daddyairplanes posted a topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
so this is happening..... using the new Italy 93-06 terrain in my R&D install. try to load F-16 for intercept. CTDs when i click accept. i try it with the F-15C. same result same install, i try intercept in Germany. it works both aircraft. try same terrain (literally, copy and paste folder) to a different install. both aircraft work in Italy. soooooo, what exactly would be causing intercepts to crash the game? note: this is not a big emergency thing. just a bit of curiousity. -

What would Cause CTD on an Intercept mission?
daddyairplanes replied to daddyairplanes's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
and Allen, tried your entry on a lark. no joy. but again, teh exact same files work (incuding ItalySE.ini) in a different install, allowing editor to work, and allowing missions to go forward. the problem child wont even let me run the mission editor. select intercept then click the pencil and ctd added stock MiG-21bis and F-14A from another install. no joy. accept crashes and "edit mission" (the pencil) crashes. its interesting all other mission types work in the wonky install Menrva, its not an attack on your terrain. you terrain works fine in the other install. its trying to find out what is different between the installs to cause this. like i said just a bit ago, its trying to understand whats going on under the hood. the knowledge probably wont do me much in the end. but somebody else a month or a couple years from now might get started on a project that this is relevant to. -
Any news?
daddyairplanes replied to Sokol's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
its two seperate projects. the scope on each suggests to me there wont be cooperation nor would it work too well anyhow not saying they dont get along or anything like that. just the two mods would likely be incompatable -

daddyairplanes replied to daddyairplanes's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
Ok, so answering my question, it's a lack of 21s that causes the crash. Not trying to reinvent the wheel. Just curious about some of the mechanics of its rolling. Consider it literally this -

daddyairplanes replied to daddyairplanes's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
whats interesting about that is the install that is crashing is clean on those. in fact clean except the aircraft i am skinning at the given moment. more than clean actually, only three stock aircraft in there the one i copied it to is heavily modded including teh nations. exact same folder pasted in. no crashing. but the only enemy aircraft i have in are a Badger model and a MiG-17. will set up an intercept in editor later making sure there is an target. as per my observation its straight CTD after hitting accept, hadnt forced the enemy issue yet new notice: one other thing noticed is that the test install exe is Israel. the install that works is an Europe exe. full 5+2 installs all of them, just talking what pops up when you start the game -

B-52 D/F wing pylons???
daddyairplanes replied to Wrench's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
well, there's this 0 B-52D Assignments, 1956-1985.xlsx picked it up a couple years back from a FB BUFF group thats more veterans than fans. got G and H as well from 58 through 94, but no F. are you looking at doing them more in the 50s or the 70s? PACER PLANK D models have been on my to do list for at least a year (if only shiny other projects would quit distracting). a bonus is there wouldnt need to be a mix of camos like on the G models) back to the excel, the Crested Dove entries would really be interesting to put in game. They were grounded F then D models that got moved around the SAC bases to screw with Russian satelites. i dont mean fly base to base, i mean just towed around at night to different places on the same base. B-52D ground object anyone? -

ok, that one was more Ed and me, with GKABs as armorer. it was after the cargo birds i believe got a chunk of chores to do, then will shoot it to ya when i get on the desktop (this is from the school comp). think i have an excel too that will have where all the D's were based during their careers. it a bit to go through, but once you get it figured out it is damn handy (had another one for the G and H models back when i did those) and why do you think i always say other Kevin? -

You talking the Hound Dog ones? With the beam to use MERs, there's one in my ODS B-52 set. Not sure about SAC Twilight, but garunteed model in ODS. The one who made the model is in the credits ( can't remember and answering on phone). I set it up as a gunpod so it could be loaded as a weapon. But it was originally fake pilot Of course my question now is whatchya Doolin? -

my general guideline for my self is to get about to 90%. better than the hollywood representation (ALL WW2 aircraft are P-51s! ALL fighter jets are F-18s! etc) and as close to real life as possible. but at the end of hte day, you can only uncover so much through research, game or model limitations are what they are and 90% of the end users wont look that closely at whats going on. get things as close as you can without being an obsession then let it go. its my philosophy anyway -

as much as this retired Soldier would like to agree, not sure its good for a universal addition. the helos out there have a mix of USA and USAF nations so adding to the terrain wouldnt garuntee a show up does add something for me to do later in my own tho thank you very much a really interesting case would be Russia, given they were there for a few years after the bombing stopped. there was a cell of them at Camp Montieth to coordinate with KFOR as i recall, as well as their main body outside of Pristina. i say interesting because they are usually enemy in most installs, but not so much right then IRL -

good call Allen, although to plug direct into his all numbers should go up by one. Macedonia needs to stay, it was a big staging point for north into Kosovo. I spent Millenium New Years at Camp Able Sentry outside Skopje and it was pretty built up even then. back to countries, the US in general and USAFE specifically got the limelight for Deny Flight and Allied Force. but it was very much a NATO show. Spanish Hornets and Dutch Vipers are first to pop in mind tho there was much more -
