Probably but it's also a violation of the EULA.... -
Any helpful tips on uvw mapping
EricJ replied to bigal1's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mods/Skinning Discussion
Looking good but thin out the area near the 30mm by about half, and make it straight, the sides right near the cockpit on the lower fuselage do not slope in. That area is relatively boxy with rounded edges. -
Brimstone Problem
EricJ replied to Tantobot's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
Sometimes it's just nations... Going through the Brimstone the missile itself is set to "RAF" for a nation and is a "UK" attachment. You'll have to select something like a "USAF" attachment for NATO planes, as anything else to make it work. You have to play with it and hopefully it works.. -

Any word on the PSD for the B+? -
Well thanks to AmokFloo, with his help it may be implemented in the series.... hopefully since Marcfighter's issues and I'd like to see one, so I asked him to see what he could do, and this is what he did by reducing it to a more decent poly size. ETA so far is "two weeks" so whenever he gets it done, It'd be nice:

Supa Hornet
EricJ replied to EricJ's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mods/Skinning Discussion
AmokFloo got it to the point of animations, but his HD crashed and it obviously threw a wrench into things. It'd obviously need all the ini's, the main gear doors need to be redone, mapping, and animations. -
Supa Hornet
EricJ replied to EricJ's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mods/Skinning Discussion
The benefits are the weapons clearing the pylons. The original design was as usual with straight pylons but for some reason the weapons weren't clearing the pylons as they should, so Boeing really had no choice. Sure it looks weird (I've gotten used to it) but dropping the weapons is more important than aesthetics. @serverandenforcer: I don't think it was hanging around the wrong circles, just nobody was particularly interested and it's not like I've kept it a secret either. When you make constant offers and ask to provide a model, and nobody bites sends the message. -

Fair enough, but who knows for sure though.... -
Supa Hornet
EricJ replied to EricJ's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mods/Skinning Discussion
Dead in the water right now. Reason being it's not really a popular aircraft so modellers really don't have any desire to make one. I mean I got both NATOPS manuals for the bird but again, nobody's interested or they would have done one. And it's not my fault the US Navy chose it though. That's pretty much why. -
ALARM for SFP1/WOV/WOE (Version 1.1)
EricJ replied to FastCargo's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - File Announcements
Because TK isn't going past the 1980s for a weird reason. Alot of people naturally go for the modern versus the old, and he may be trying to accommodate both. Besides there is a mod coming out (Desert Storm) so it's not all too bad! -
Seriously, this has to be a joke, I'm surprised The Onion didn't post this, this is right up their alley!

EricJ replied to Klavs81's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mods/Skinning Discussion
I'm pretty sure he did, and Jedi Master knows what to say and what not to say as well and his sources. -
F-35A Lightning II

He better be since he's the CA Arms Dealer. Keeps me happy -
AV-8B Harrier II plus
EricJ replied to bobrock's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - File Announcements
Mannie and planes are right... you can load it no problemo, but uh, you can't launch it...... It's actually a good thing I read this topic, been carrying them and didn't know of this problem. Good thing I haven't had to use them! -
AV-8B plus
EricJ replied to bobrock's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mods/Skinning Discussion
But creates another problem........... -
Too Many Weapons!
EricJ replied to warthog64's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
Part of the issue is the weight allowable on each pylon. The reason you can mount two on each pylon... is because the weight capacity allows it to, not so much as it limiting the actual amount of weapons. -
F-16 loadout fictitious
EricJ replied to Basher11's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Sci-Fi/Anime/What If Forum
Uh not really, you throw on a Conformal Fuel Tank system, two 370-gal tanks, two GBU-10s, two AMRAAMs, and two 'winders (or Pythons), two targeting pods, and nobody says anything (hell it didn't and doesn't bother me). That wouldn't load down an F-16 terribly given what they're throwing on them these days. -

F-22 Raptor, F-35 JSF, F/A-37 Talon
EricJ replied to Shin_kazama's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mods/Skinning Discussion
I'm tending to start to disagree with that statement (with no offense to you). I think it's more or less the pilot, not the machine. You equip any multirole plane right and it starts to boil down to pilots skill. For instance me, I'm a virtual strike pilot through and through. Nothing like screaming down valleys, mountains, dodging trees, buildings, wires, etc just to drop a bomb or launch a missile. Get me in the Wild Blue Yonder and it's like "Okay man, where are my AMRAAMs?, i.e. I can do BVR, but get me into a dogfight... yeah right. Whereas people enjoy the thrill of dogfighting and all that jazz. Sure militaries these days only have so much time and money so that's where I think that's where it comes from. Personally I think the Gripen and EF2000 suffer only in range, not so much capability, they're both really nice to fly and couldn't ask for anything else, well a Super Hornet but that's for some other place and time. But the JSF fills the requirements that the Marines like and overall it's a cool little toy plane but nothing to get excited over IMHO.
