Recommend a slight change to the Avionics settings. This fixes the order of the radar range settings from lowest to highest while still starting radar range at 15 KM and keeping ACM restricted to setting 1 at 9 KM.

You seem to be missing these.

So I was wondering how much space I had devoted to all of the ThirdWire games. I added up everything in my ThirdWire install directory, my ThirdWire Saved Games directory, and my TW Mods storage and got the following numbers. The summarized size may be off due to how Windows rounds things but the total of bytes, files, and folders are exact. Total SF2/FE2 Files: Size: 909.04 GB (976,863,996,113‬ bytes‬‬) Size on disk: 913.07 GB‬ (981,903,534,432‬‬ bytes) Contains: 1,759,657‬‬ Files, 155,449‬ Folders How much space are you devoting to ThirdWire related files?

I found an interesting channel on YouTube and thought I would share some of the videos. I have heard about some of these before but I still learned some details that I was unaware of. Note: The Intro can be a bit loud so beware headphone users. The story of the S.S. Stephen Hopkins. The History of the First Combat Helicopter Rescue. Battle of the Bulge: Duel at St. Vith, Belgium Note: He makes a slight range error in the excitement of telling this story. The range should be 25 Yards = 75 feet. The Night Witches Icarus versus U-352

@PFunk Ships will engages other ships with ASMs. Which ships are you working on? I can talk you through it.

Well I contributed to the Strike Fighters 2 Win10 Edition crowdfunding so I got the complete edition as a reward for doing that.

Wrench, I thought you replaced your system last year? Maybe I misread your post when you had trouble.

I edited my list above with some more games and added links to almost all of the titles. Also as of right now, Noon Eastern Time, Feb 2ed, 2020, the games Wing Commander 1 through 4 plus Prophecy are on sale for 75% off on GOG.

Just heard about this, and because it was a helicopter crash I thought I would share it here. https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2020-01-26/aircraft-slams-into-hillside-explodes-in-flames-near-calabasas

Are you interested in some older ones? If so I can put together a list for you.

To anyone else interested in improving the Falklands 82 campaign I have sent edited data files for the included ground objects including the ships to @JohnLewis141997 for his project. However there are some things that I cannot fix with just data INI improvements. Most of the ship LODs are twelve to fourteen years old and are badly in need of replacement. They are in SF1 configuration without any of the alterations needed to fully take advantage of North Atlantic's features. While a full set of high quality replacement objects would be great to have, most of the auxiliaries and transport ships do not need replacement with the exception of the MV Atlantic Conveyor/MV Atlantic Causeway, and a couple of the warships use the same basic hull with different weapons fits that would ease the amount of work further. If anyone has access to the original MAX files of the old ships I would be relatively simple to fix the issues from a game mechanics standpoint but as I have been told that does not look like a possibility leaving replacement the best option. In addition, the models for the Royal Navy's SAMs (Seaslug, Seacat, SeaDart, and SeaWolf) are also in need of an update unless newer missile LODs have been made that I am not aware of. If you are interested in working on a project to build new ships and/or SAM models for the Falklands/Malvinas campaign please let me know so that I can work on coordinating our efforts on such a project.

Got back from seeing 1917. I will see about finding the project, finish the last few objects and pass it on.

I have a near complete ground object data file update for the Falklands.

Update that a total of 9 people were aboard.

Check your Version.ini file. When I did a reinstall once it caused StrikeFighters2 Vietnam to be set to FALSE instead of TRUE which made the A-1 disappear from the game.

Getting a TrackIR 5 is the thing that lead me to finding out about the Strike Fighters series in the first place. I had not touched a non Sci-Fi flight sim for years before getting my TrackIR in 2009. I consider it a must have for flight simming.

I came across this and thought I should share it.
