F18E or F18 blue angels skin ?
EricJ replied to FooFighters's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mods/Skinning Discussion
So far I've seen two on the fuselage, and six on the wings, plus two Sidewinders. Whether that's just an operational due to mission or standardized configuration not sure, but this one shows a projected one, while the other one from Airliners.net shows another one. -
A-6E USMC
EricJ replied to allenjb42's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - File Announcements
Note that the refuelling store is just for looks, unfortunately it's not scripted to where it actually works.... :( -

Sure could, as mostly it's just an ini modification really between the F and G, as well as cosmetic. -

Just a little more minor tweak and it should be good to go. Now that I got the "hard" part finished, now I have to get working on the actual pylon. Unfortunately I don't have that many (or any) real good pics of the adapter, so I may just make something up, but we'll see.. -

Little bit of work on the twin rail adapter: -
Takeoff from Carriers

I'm assuming that where my nose is generally pointing, is the "notch"? -
Are Laser Guided Weapons modeled?
EricJ replied to TurtleHawk's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
Well realistically the weapons usage. I'm a big fan of anti-radiation missiles, so in 1.02 you can use them, in FC you can't. I have to use Kh-31As instead, but oh well I'll be allright. -

No, since I sent the model to Marcfighter, and he sent me what he was doing. The thing is, his is a lot more "cleaner" as far as modelling goes, so it'd take more time for him to try and fix the other one while his is pretty much "complete" via the pictures he sent. Sure there's the normal issues but overall it looks almost done. But no he did not give any indication of time or whatnot. -

EricJ replied to TurtleHawk's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
Nah I've been sold on the Su-33 since Flanker 2.51, but unfortunately while you can't do as much in LOMAC/FC than 1.02, it's still fun to fly The F-15 would be great if it had some A2G capability, and the A-10 is always fun to fly around, while the others are just something I keep myself familiar with, though the MIG-29 isn't much differently modelled than the Su-27/33. Least as far as flight model anyways. -
Sukhoi SU-34 Platypus
EricJ replied to bwRavencl's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
Matter of fact, the Su-34 came before the -33KUB, not the other way around. -

Just a slight update, Marcfighter will be the primary modeller for the project. He's gotten quite ahead, so it's better for him to do it, and then go from there. -

Well if I do go over there again, I'll see about that one -
VF-31 Tomcatters CAG
EricJ replied to EricJ's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mods/Skinning Discussion
I was planning on an OEF version VF-213, but I got a few of the Last Cruise pics, and been actually wanting to do that one too. Besides as reference pics, the more the merrier :D -

It's probably the different learning curve that got him. Both Flanker 2.51 and LOMAC require a high learning curve, and patience. Once you figure stuff out it becomes easier quicker. -

Apparently so, I just like hitting them with Paveways.. -

Yeah I never got into much of the online scene, mainly because I don't bother, but I agree, same old stuff gets boring fast, and just got tired of replaying the missions. Even hooking them up with more enemies, changing the stuff got stale because that's all I could do. Even one person got around to trying to make a mission from the ground up and still AFAIK (haven't checked honestly) not released. There's no rush really.

Yeah I just came back from a test flight. Yes the target (main primary target) can be engaged, but not "opportunity" targets. So okay the verdict is it works for the primary target but not for any other targets. -

Hrm, the word from USAFMTL was that it required a designator pod, and flights have confirmed this, but is it the (v)4 or (v)1? -

And the notch is where? -

EricJ replied to Darrin's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mods/Skinning Discussion
If there's an extra spot, you have to put a target designator (i.e. Lightning Pod or Sniper XR or anything under that category) -
Takeoff from Carriers
EricJ replied to EricJ's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mission/Campaign Building Discussion
Yeah but my sinkrate was to high (probably because of that), but when I do that the tailplanes give me a nasty noseup attitude that makes it real difficult, i.e. I'm fighting the plane to get a little bit nosedown. I go full flaps in LOMAC and I get very few bolters, but this is maybe because of lack of real experience with this FM vs. LOMAC... An no Typhoid... not that bad... more or less I clipped the gear off, so if I had to land I would have skidded on deck.. -

EricJ replied to FooFighters's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mods/Skinning Discussion
Yeah I saw that too and too bad it's just for looks. Marcfighter, I don't know if you got my PM, but it looks like my original helper fell through, so if you're interested in finishing the model (I know you started yours...) but if you can get it working I would appreciate it (model needs to be tweaked but does work in WOE) But these might work, they are part of the F-18E/F/G pack mentioned on the previous page. If I can refigure on getting them textured then I can just probably credit the original model maker but will try and contact him anyways: -

EricJ replied to FooFighters's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mods/Skinning Discussion
Though only one question I have, is that can you do the ARS for it? And can you script it for actual airborne refuelling or is it just there for looks as I've seen elsewhere?
