Linebacker and the F-4E
EricJ replied to Mr_Tayto's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
I don't know how it works out, but the ECM values I have for my Super Hornets are pretty good, so there's hope, just not much with other systems I suppose. -
Linebacker and the F-4E
EricJ replied to Mr_Tayto's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
From what I understand the ECM pods are simply eye candy. Wrench stated that a patch borked them, so carrying them is useless, and for it to "work", it has to be an "internal" ECM jammer for the game to recognize it. Overall some of the ECM pods even when Internal (ALQ-131 I'm looking at you) don't work vs. various threats. So overall you're still taking a chance with them anyway, and frankly don't think that they're up to par with threats anyway. Kinda a waste of pylon space. -

Linebacker and the F-4E
EricJ replied to Mr_Tayto's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
I guess (I don't know the reasoning) it's because Navy jets operate off a carrier, so an internal jammer would make sense in the terms of weight and pylons available for weapons and stuff. I mean I never knew the reasoning and curious what somebody who knows has to say on this, as I'm curious myself. -

You know right? No wonder they had GCI... -
Well after a test I finally got the SAM Container working. I bounced the idea of just creating a missile, but I figured it would be more suitable for the Titan AA missile to be used. Right now I don't have much planned for any of my mods, so I can maybe rest on the laurels a bit and take a break while I get used to the milsim unit I just joined.

EricJ Cherokee Containers RC16 - Added a "SAM Container", that fires Titan AA missiles, and has 24 missiles. It is useable by players and UAV AI alike.

My Projects (EricJ)
EricJ replied to EricJ's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
Here's a quick and dirty test. and firing and hitting the target wasn't too hard really. But here's a quick video of me shooting down a target drone with the missile by dtmdragon. -
How Do I Use Lead Sight for Guns?
EricJ replied to Nazr's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
Okay, I guess it just works on those settings. I guess you fly on Hard then? I fly on Hard HUD and Normal flight and I think the lead works fine on the Super Hornet, but good to know. -
How Do I Use Lead Sight for Guns?
EricJ replied to Nazr's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
To be honest with you I don't fly the F-14 at all, so you'll have to ask him or fly what I suspect are the TMF F-14s. You could be having the issue because you're flying the TW F-14A, and that could very well be the issue you're having with the sight. -

EricJ replied to Nazr's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
You may want to try sickledcells videos to maybe help with your issue. He apparently is on CombatAce (I don't know his handle here), but here's his YouTube and he does a lot of F-14 videos, maybe this might help: https://www.youtube.com/@sickledcell -
Crashing mid-mission
EricJ replied to Mr_Tayto's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
Yeah, but who knows it may work too. I usually don't play campaigns so I can only do so much and not much I can do to help. -
Crashing mid-mission
EricJ replied to Mr_Tayto's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
Could be just the mission and think about getting an external hard drive. So far mine has been reliable, but having one and saving stuff is a must for some programs, but I think the mission just may be borked. -

HQ-9 Missile System Sound list and file

Yeah no problem man. -
HQ-9 Missile System Sound list and file
EricJ replied to Falcon1364's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
Well the Search function didn't work as it should. Anyway maybe contact angelp for that, but I would think that it would use the default sounds, or the sounds are broken. And a quick look at the Data.ini of the systems, it shows TruckLoop, or TankEngine, which are default sounds, so not sure. If you mean the radar, it intentionally (with a virgin download) shows no sound with the radar vehicle. So what you should do is open that Data.ini and where it says: [Sound] EngineSoundName= MovementSoundName=' Put TruckLoop after the EngineSoundName= That way you'll have at least a sound with it. But I'm guessing that the sounds are by default anyway, so not sure what I can do to help with that if it's not making sounds while launching. -
HQ-9 Missile System Sound list and file
EricJ replied to Falcon1364's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
I may not be able to help, but what exact sound are you looking for? Missile launch? Vehicle noise (which should already be configured I assume) or what exact sound do you need? Furthermore where did you get an HQ-9 for the game? I didn't find it in the Downloads. Is this a DAT product? If so you may need to go to their forums and ask this question if you didn't (or whatever respective maker of the mod) get it from here. I mean we can only do so much. -
Guides weapon MFD to bright
EricJ replied to foufkiller's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
No, there's no way to change it, other than some modder who might know how to do so. If not, well what you see is what you get. You also have to hit E (works with guided LGBs and Maverick style weapons) to select the target. SF2 has no DCS style manual control of the seeker. Pressing E will automagically slew it though, if that's the primary target and random target. -
How Do I Use Lead Sight for Guns?
EricJ replied to Nazr's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
Ahh, the TMF or the stock one? I'm sure it doesn't matter, but there are plenty of fliers of that plane for sure. I fly the Super Hornet more often, so I'm not used to the jet that much. -
How Do I Use Lead Sight for Guns?
EricJ replied to Nazr's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
Nazr what plane are you using? Some of the older jets are fixed, while the newer, more modern "float" in the HUD when using it as an aimpoint. Also if you specify which plane, maybe the more experienced flyers may help too. -
Tornados over Greece
EricJ replied to ValAstur's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Sci-Fi/Anime/What If Forum
Looking good ValAstur, the additional weathering makes it look worn out and a typical Greek jet. -
Time to improve the old SF2 jets
EricJ replied to GKABS's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
Or for me, stuff that needs to be fixed in my Arma 3 stuff, I always find some kind of error or whatnot when I'm doing mods. -
Getting Started in SF Series Again
EricJ replied to CaptSopwith's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
The Thirdwire store to my knowledge works, but I would recommend getting SF2 Complete for 100 bucks (99.99), as it has everything you need to get started and whatnot. They do offer the other games, and they're patched to the "latest" patch, July 2013, so you're "up to date" with the game and such. -
