Precisely Lt.! It's something I never managed to do with the F-104, barely did with the F-4 and began to use with the F-106. What you describe is exactly what happened. Unless I only have 2 X 30mm cannons, it's a P variant. So far I think it's quite efficient. DiD experience makes you learn, that's something cool about the idea. the pilot is Jedrek Wisniewski, 3 missions 6 kills, I'm proud of him ;) And the MiG-19 is really great to fly, my favourite from the Red side.

Yes Lt it's bad luck but now I'll be more cautious when performing a landing approach. It was such a simple mistake that costed one of the twelve planes of the squadron! Slarti you're right, it's a personal mod and it doesn't work perfect with the radio messages "Red Crown, Olds lead passing WP3 / Asp lead, Red Crown copy". When that bug is repeated I can't help starting to laugh xD The cool stuff is that I added more aircrafts I like (Canberras Mk2/Mk8, F-105F, MiG-17PFU, Lim-6R, MiG-19PM Czek, Polish and East German, specific skins...) I used the NF4 campaign. During a previous attempt I had Günther Rall on my six! 3rd mission 1 Esk. 39 PML, Kluczewo AB – MiG-19P 10/28/62 Take off : 13.23 – Landing : 14.27 Target : Wunstorf, Escort Il-28 bombers 4 Aircrafts With Capt Krol as #3 we went to Wersdorf to protect friendly flights bombing Wunstorf AB. We were on time 5 nm ahead of the strike flight. Closing to enemy fighters we dived from 5700m to the deck to gain speed and started wide turns to engage them without taking too much risks. It worked. Capt Krol shot down an F-100 Super Sabre and after a low level-foggy weather-high speed dogfight I win on another F-100. I don’t know what my opponent was trying to do but he was too low to gain speed and while he was avoiding ground obstacles I shot at him and took him out. The pilot ejected. There were big explosions from the bombs striking the ground targets and I was able to see the big yellow flames through the fog. There were also some F-102 Delta Dagger and I thought I was less in danger close to them than far because of their missiles weaponry. The F-102 is not an agile adversary and I quickly get a 6 position on one of them. The problem was I could see clearly somebody behind me and I wonder if the guy before me wasn’t just tricking me to give an opportunity shot to his wingman. I’ll never know, I shot him down and did a tight break. I went to the deck and realize I was flying over the enemy base. I decided to pass above some smoking bomb craters thinking that there won’t be any AAA right there and I was wrong! But they didn’t hit me. I called for the others to join up and turned to the east, gaining some altitude. I saw a lonely plane above me, heading to the west. I wondered if it was friendly, and when I saw it was a delta wing shape I knew that it wasn’t. I did a split-S and tried to catch him. I realized later that I forgot to turn on the radar to chase him. It took few minutes to catch him up and I saw it wasn’t an US Delta Dagger, but a Mirage. The guy was flying steady and the Mirage exploded like a bomb when I opened fire, no chance to survive… We finally got back home and I was pretty relieved to land without problem because the weather was quite bad and I saw the runway reaching only 100m high (~300ft). 2Lt Surma got his plane hit by ground fire and Capt Krol damaged an F-102 after his victory on the F-100. It’s the first time I shoot down an enemy fighter during a dogfight, to me the victory against the F-100 today means more than the others.

Hi Rob, you were talking about the A-6 roll rate ;) 2nd mission 1 Esk. 39 PML, Kluczewo AB – MiG-19P 10/27/62 Take off : 12.39 – Landing : 13.21 Target : Braunschweig, Sweep 4 Aircrafts Bad luck today. We flew to Braunschweig and we intercepted 4 Canberra bombers over the battle field, they were attacking our troops with rocket pods. Maciej Surma shot down two of them but Capt Wojciechowski collided with his one. I tried to shot down mine using the little ORO rocket pods but I finally took him out with a very sharp burst of 30mm. We RTBed and while I was on finale I suddenly lost lift. I tried to push the throttle to the max but the plane was falling, it was too late. I hit the ground and I think I broke the left gear, the plane bounced and I saw in the rear mirrors that I was on fire. I ejected and lost the plane. K….! There was no cross wind and the crew chief told me that he thought the rocket pods drag made the plane stall sooner than I expected. I should have extend the flaps sooner. We destroyed 4 enemy bombers but Capt Wojciechowski is reported MIA and I lost my plane.

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!

Scary! I guess you won't do that everyday

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

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

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.

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.

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