You cannot imagine how difficult it was to achieve the first mission. Red Thunder 1962, Jedrek Wisniewski is flying with the "bad guys", a Polish MiG-19P Farmer B. It's easier than the Spad but I don't think it will last long. 1st mission 1 Esk. 39 PML, Kluczewo AB – MiG-19P 10/26/62 Take off : 11.39 – Landing : 12.46 Target : Bad Hersfeld, Sweep 8 Aircrafts, 1st flight : 2Lt Jedrek Wisniewski, 2nd flight : Cap Boleslaw Wojciechowski We reached Bad Hersfeld and the ground control operator told us to keep the course to jump on an enemy flight. There were low and apparently were not trying to escape. I caught one of them and it was quite fast, it was a F-105. While I was trying to get close, he straffed our ground troups so I decided to quickly get rid of him. I shot a burst from distance and he started to smoke and dive to the ground. We joined up gaining some altitude then we saw another lonely F-105. He didn’t saw us and I shot him down. Cap Wojciechowski and 2Lt Surma had a victory against the two others F-105.

I do agree with you Lt, DiD flying mode is better than anything. Now I'm trying to improve my skill because I just can't survive. We'll see... Welcome Cocas! Fuel and ammos set on hard. Landing and FM normal or hard, that's my advice. Good luck!

Bonjour les francophones Hi Je propose de commencer un petit chantier pour le Mirage IV A de Veltro2K. J'ai mis un dossier data.ini dans les "ini edits" qui arrange un peu mais ca doit pouvoir etre mieux. Ca serait cool d'avoir une skin camo vert et gris, et si je dis ca c'est surtout parce que je crois pas pouvoir la faire moi-même. Je pense que c'est le meilleur endroit pour parler de ça, vu la machine, mais je reconnais que les Mirages sont bien appréciés par tous ici. (et ca soulage un peu de le faire en français xD) and Ed, if you read that, THANKS! Cliff11

Scary! I guess you won't do that everyday

File Name: F-4E Karpada for WOI (TMF model/TW skin) File Submitter: Cliff11 File Submitted: 17 October 2010 File Category: F-4 Phantom II This model illustrates the F-4E Phantoms that the Israel Defense Force/Air Force received in October 1973 during the Yom Kippour War. Credits go to: - The MIRAGE FACTORY - THIRDWIRE Thank you Wrench and Sony Tuckson! It'll be better if you install the Mirage Factory Weapon Pack for WOI, available at CombatAce: http://combatace.com...oi-august-2008/ Only for WOI It could work with SFP1, WOV and WOE installs but it won't be as good unless you do some editing.

Hi (I still don't know how to create decals. I don't have Photoshop, I tried with Gimp, Paint.net, I tried decals tutorials, I checked the Knowledge Base : nothing shows up) Is there somebody kind enough to create a set of serial numbers for the Israel Defense Force F-4 Kurnass? I ask for tail numbers prefixed with 3. For example 300, 301, 302, 303, 304 ... I tried to modify the stock decals but I failed. I don't know how to create the number file.LST neither. Thx

Ok, thank you very much Wrench! It was the best thing to do and it worked perfectly I'll try to release the result...

I've been shot down by a Hunter on the 4th mission, pilot killed. Too much dogfight, not enough safety... but that was fun

I went back in Europe for something really different. It's a France vs UK campaign flying a F-47N (what if ) 1st, 2nd and 3rd missions EC 4/20, St André de l’Eure – F-47N Thunderbolt 05/29/60 Take off : 11.50 – Landing : 13.16 Target : Manston, Strike Tuna 11 : 2Lt Charles Bréty / Tuna 12 : 2Lt Amédé Leblanc Report : We flew to Manston and our target was the runway. My wingman missed but I dropped my two 800lbs bombs right in the middle of the runway. While we RTBed I worried about fuel consumption because we didn’t load some auxiliary tanks, but everything went OK. Anyway we tried to intercept some Canberra bombers on their way back but they were much faster than us… 10’ later Take off : 13.26 – Landing : 14.51 Target : Maidstone, Strike Tiger 11 : 2Lt Charles Bréty / Tiger 12 : 2Lt Hector Goujon Report : The planes were quickly reloaded and refueled and we went to destroy the Maidstone railroad station. On our way we formed up with two Skyraiders and together we joined the target area. It was pretty lousy, I missed and wasted the 500lbs bombs and we finally destroy the building because we had some new narrow 250lbs bombs that can be loaded at the HVAR stations. As soon as the job was done we tried to rescue the AD-4s that were calling for help but we were too late. I tried to engage a slow Hunter fighter but when I was winning on him a F-86 Sabre Dog overtook me and hit the Hunter with his 20mm cannons. The Brit had his engine damaged and was loosing speed. I shot a long burst, the pilot ejected safely. 22’ later Take off : 15.13 – Landing : 16.43 Target : Worthy Down, Recon Gopher 11 : 2Lt Charles Bréty / Gopher 12 : Maj Gaston Casenobe Report : A simple Recce mission. We learned that the Skyraiders that we escorted had been shot down. And someone gave me the credit of the F-86D victory over the Hunter. The right thing should be to share it, half a victory for both of us…

About the Min/Max Positions, that should be helpful too : http://combatace.com...in-max-extents/ or / and http://combatace.com/files/file/5125-minmaxextentposition-exporter/

I cannot do the files if I don't have a LOD file, an OUT file, the identity numbers of the animations and the Min/Max position of the meshes (because I don't have 3DSMax, I know it sucks) About the LOD file, have a look at the ThirdWire.com site http://www.thirdwire.com/downloads_tools.htm I think that's what you need to create the LOD file used in the game. Ask to an admin for proper advices, they are modders. If nobody else with required skills shows up, I can do it but I need all the stuffs that goes with the 3D model.

Cool AARs! After several attempts, I just don't survive the 2nd mission, even in a jet... Take off/mission/landing/take off/mission/DEAD! that's the pattern. Good luck and keep the motor running

What do you mean "to make units"? What do you need to make it fly? If it's just a flight model or a data.ini file I can do that, but I don't have the 3DSMax software so my abilities are quite limited, just file editing...

I saw him flying at an airshow 2 months ago.

File Name: Mirage IV A alternate data file File Submitter: Cliff11 File Submitted: 04 July 2010 File Category: Ini Edits This is an alternate file for the Mirage IV A previously released by Veltro2K. Credit goes to him : ) The original 3D model is not available anymore!!! so => Don't download this file ...unless you're a dinosaur and already have the damn LOD First, back up the original data file then, read the readme This is an updated file, better than the previous one (lol) - Landing gears and fuel tanks are almost ok. - New flight model, tested on WOE 06 & 08. Freeware only, not to be sold in any way! Click here to download this file

Updated The landing gears and fuel tanks are better and I tried a new flight model. Any comments are welcome! Cliff

Salut J'ai mis à jour le dossier Data.ini du Mirage IV pour ThirdWire 1ère génération. Ca devrait être bientôt disponible. J'ai sérieusement bricolé le modèle de vol, si un ingénieur en aéronautique voit ça il meurt de rire... Les infos techniques un peu pointues comme la vitesse de décrochage ou la capacité de chaque réservoir interne sont difficilement accessibles. (même si apparemment l'engin ne "décrochait" pas vraiment, il s'enfonçait de l'arrière) Après faut que les vrais chiffres soient compatibles avec le jeu, pas gagné... Si vous avez quelque chose faites moi signe. Merci De même si vous utilisez le modèle et que vous avez des remarques, ça m'intéresse. Cliff11

D8 !!! Very cool job ...if you're able to do it

Hi guys! I didn't find out the different mindset which I need. I tried the same campaign, more carefully, and I had the same result : shot down by the first AAA I encountered. It's time for propeller plane training or I'll stick with jets... Good luck to all!

I started a Steel Tiger campaign, VA-52 "Knightriders" flying the A-1H Skyraider. I've been shot down by the AAA during the 2nd mission

Yes sir :) Hard setting for fuel and weapons. It makes you think about fuel consumption, external tanks to carry, easy on the throttle (not too much or you're late), full afterburner only for emergency. And you have to save fuel to get back to home base. I like it that way.

Hi I've done some editing on this one. What should I do now?

So I'll wait for that one!!! I like so much when SF2 planes work with 1st gen install. ...especialy the Spad!
