Strike missions only target cargo ships?
EricJ replied to TheStig's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
It should if I'm not mistaken. I know I've had it spawn on me when I bothered with that stuff. -
Strike missions only target cargo ships?
EricJ replied to TheStig's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
Kamchatka has enough regular targets to attack, so it must be the NavalMap= setting that's affecting it. Granted, I haven't flown a mission (other than just purely flying around), but I never went up against cargo ships in the past. -
You're never too old to learn something new...
EricJ replied to Spinners's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
I learned that "You can't teach an old dog new tricks" doesn't really hit anymore, from my experience in Afghanistan. But good to know a Vulcan can destroy the evilcommbuilding though... -

Any news on the F-35C by chance? -
Helicopter
EricJ replied to Falcon1364's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
There's a legit Apache here, so there's that. -
Helicopter
EricJ replied to Falcon1364's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
It can't because the game doesn't really support helicopters. What you get is what you get. Unless a miracle happens and helos are supported, they will take off like that. -
My Projects (EricJ)
EricJ replied to EricJ's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
Progress isn't much. I've gotten things done for the cockpits and stuff, and may or may not work on new skins for the Block III, but here's the changelog for things I have already done on my end: 6.0 - Tweaked ALQ-99G textures to better represent real-life pods - Tweaked ECM values for all of the aircraft, adding power to the internal jammers and enhancing capability. - Fixed [DetectSystem] on the EA-18Gs - Added more numbers for the EA-18G VAQ-140 and VAQ-130 skins, numbers go from 500 to 505. Also fixed the decals.ini file for both skins and updated the numbers.lst files too. - Added the promised VAQ-132 skin for the EA-18G. - Tweaked the Readme, doing some grammar stuff and updated some things - Added more loadout options for the Escort Jammer, Early Warning, and an OIR loadout for the USN EA-18G - Updated the "default" VAQ-130 skin for the EA-18G. - Removed carrier entries for the RAAF aircraft, so they don't spawn on carriers. - "EA-18G" folder has now been renamed to "EA-18G_BlkII" so it doesn't conflict with other EA-18G mods. - Thanks to allenjb42 the aircraft now fold wings on carriers. Due to common sense, the canopies will stay closed. - Tweaked radars for the Block III jets, now have improved range. The search range is 137 miles, and the track range is 100 miles. - Block III jets have new cockpits modified by Coupi. Unfortunately due to the lack of a dedicated cockpit modder this is what we can do with the game engine. If Brain32 returns, I will ask him if he can do a more realistic cockpit. - Increased thrust for the Block III jets (all except RAAF) by 20%, in line with real-world engine upgrades - Added an internal sound courtesy of crisisloaner for the internal cockpit sound. - KNOWN ISSUE: Due to the lighting on the 3D mesh of the displays for the Block III cockpit, the NVG (both types) filters by simonmiller416 at night cause the various panels for the cockpit to light up to be unusable. There is no fix for it at this time, so you will have to use a Block II or Block I aircraft if you want to fly at night (Block II EA-18G if you fly it). - Used the AIM-120D texture and 3D model by ravenclaw_007 for it. -

Has someone made soviet aggressor skins?
EricJ replied to Gepard's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
Gepard, do you have Photoshop or Gimp where you can open a PSD? I think I can help slightly with it. -

Return - 3ds Max 2009 and Windows 11 Compatibility
EricJ replied to swambast's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
Or try Win8 compatibility. When I had DCS running at one time, the ModelViewer wouldn't work for some reason, so it came down to that. Maybe a compatibility mode may work? -
SF2 Series DACT Reports And Related A2A Discussions (Game only)
EricJ replied to EricJ's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
I've mainly gone up against Mig-23s in-game and if they don't get shot down by an AMRAAM I get them with a 9X or so. It does happen but rarely depending on how many there are and I choose how much are there, and so on. -
SF2 Series DACT Reports And Related A2A Discussions (Game only)
EricJ replied to EricJ's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
Well most of the engagements are set up to be dogfight only, given that BVR fights do exist, so in some cases you will be shot down instead, there is always a chance you'll get in close. -
SF2 Loading crashes
EricJ replied to Spudknocker's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
It works fine for me in Win11. What you need to probably do is click on whichever executable that you want (though it doesn't seem to matter really if you have them merged). Just go to the install folder and execute, then pin to taskbar if needed. It doesn't put a shortcut on the desktop, at least not for me. Or did I not answer your question as it seems a little broad to me. -

EricJ replied to EricJ's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
Just got an update from FastCargo and it looks like he's having the same Win11 issue that swambast is having, and more than likely not be able to work on the models as I had hoped. I can talk to other people about it but for now the Super Hornet package is what it is for now, and for the foreseeable future I can probably enlist somebody, so it's not dead, just delayed for now. -
Has someone made soviet aggressor skins?
EricJ replied to Gepard's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
Not to my knowledge. Frankly, the only ones I've seen were LOMAC or sorts, but not for SF2. -

I don't think so, decoys I'm sure weren't on TK's priority list, but who knows I could be wrong. -

Operation Desert Storm: 30th Anniversary Edition
EricJ replied to Menrva's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - File Announcements
Yes, it'll create its own folder, so it stays "pure" while I'm sure you can add planes, it's more or less designed so you have a clean install with all the stuff without bothering your main install of SF2- 231 replies

SF2 Sound Issue
EricJ replied to Falcon1364's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
It sometimes goes out when you use the map too, there's no fix for it other than using the throttle. It could also be the sound itself, some work like that too -
Do we have a MPRS out there?

I mean I could have missed it, but I had never seen one before.
