EricJ replied to chrislancaster01's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
SLThrustDry=49819.84 That should be the trick. I modded my crappy SH to get a little more oomph (didn't seem right either) and just adjusted the values a bit, just to get what should be a reasonable speed. -

Right, the national insignia is a stock one but I'll fix it. And I got the numbers issue fixed. -
That was a good one man, thanks!

This should be it: Just have to fix the decals and it should be good to go unless? -
F/A-18F Super Hornet
EricJ replied to Marcfighter's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mods/Skinning Discussion
Well marcfighter, I had always believed so, but after reading what Sag posted, apparently not, well in regards to the "virtual speedbrake" Which honestly now that it's brought up, I guess not For some reason I always liked/not liked Carlo Kopps stuff. Great articles, but I guess his F-111 stuff always left me with a stuck up advisor taste, but he knows what he's talking about. But regardless, thanks for the article Sag Which brought up maneuverability. Compared to column5's Bug and what I have currently, there's a marked difference. I can speak in relative flight sim terms, as it's like flying the LOMAC Su-33, as the weights are nearly the same (If my mind serves me right, only a few thousand kilograms). But once you get it moving, it handles great. Then again some people equate the Su-33 to flying a pig, but I never have had such issues, except of course, loaded to the gills But in SF/WOE/WOV terms, don't expect to pull off maneuvers currently that you can do with the Hornet. Unfortunately I don't have any real world experience to base off of, but if LOMAC is a benchmark, then I'll say maybe the one I got isn't correct in whole. Weights are right, along with from other sources on the web. I would say the Tomcat is more refined due to the setup, and the Tomcat has a higher thrust to weight ratio compared to the Rhino, I left my wingie behind, and I just cruised along.. Overall it's great for it's intended role but not too sure in the close combat arena, due to the weight of the Rhino, or just how the one I have is currently setup. I feel honestly the FM should be better, but still not too sure. Realize I'm talking about the one I currently have, not marcfighters, as I don't have it either, so just so nobody gets confused. -

I think I remember that book, but any Bone driver would be loony to try and mix it up with even a Piper Cub with an R-60 on each wing. But if the claims for the -120D are true, then it'd be a little better. -
VF-15 Pteranadon
EricJ replied to EricJ's topic in Digital Combat Simulator Series General Discussion
Yeah after a few test flights, it's apparent that the Su-33's got a bit more maneuverability, i.e. doesn't hit Max AoA as quick as this one does. If you drop the tank, AoA gets better, but I would figure with the multitude of winglets, elevators, it'd be able to smoke most other aircraft. It looks cool -
Weapons Pack Update?
EricJ posted a topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
Considering that the weapons pack is almost a year old.. and we've come up with more stuff, is there an update planned for this? -
Something I heard of...

EricJ replied to Marcfighter's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
lol that's jacked up, least the last part anyways. That one Raptor just waited, because he could have made a missile kill easy towards the end, but just funny when he just fired a burst, and lights out. But that skin.... wow! -
Where to find
EricJ replied to Falcon161's topic in Digital Combat Simulator Series General Discussion
lol maybe I should pay attention... Thing is that you don't really need a high end joystick. Well that's me because I'm a cheap person, but seriously I've got a Saitek Evo, and well, it just doesn't work. Now what I do use is an old Microsoft Sidewinder Precisition 2, and truthfully, I can't go back to my Saitek. But on the other hand as long as you got enough buttons to do something, which LOMAC does have custom mapping available of course. -

Calm down man, was just asking -

lol okay, what resolution will the texture be in? -
Neither me, but maybe will check it out..

True, in some cases they are pretty lame, but I think the newer series really brought back the interest to me as far as the whole series. There's alot of commentary on the DVDs too that highlight alot of what happened as far as story elements, production, etc. It's well worth it to check it out at least. Not all series have the actors tell the way it happened, rather than the producers all the time.

EricJ replied to EricJ's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mods/Skinning Discussion
Kewl, got the pics, thanks! I think the mapping is slightly messed up, as the colors are correct all over, but looks different on the nose area, so I'll probably adjust that so it works better. -

EricJ replied to EricJ's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mods/Skinning Discussion
Yeah if you can email me that, that'd be great. Was that the same cruise or a different one? I think with the amount of reliable pics, I'm going with the 2005-06 cruise for now, but if you can tell me that one, I can do that as a seperate file. Plus in the works is AJ101, so if you got any of that.. I got to show up a Virtual Tomcatters CO who can skin, and who only flies the aircraft -

EricJ replied to Marcfighter's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
You're getting confused. LOMAC is hardcoded, but with SF it's probably doable, I just never tried it yet, though kreelin posted his video. Though I do agree, I would actually ask for an MKI, but without TVC support.. -

EricJ replied to EricJ's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mods/Skinning Discussion
And stupid question, the TR's 2005-06 was the Last Cruise right?
