not up on campaign editing, so cant really help you on that, I'm sure someone else can advise you though -
Why didn't the World War 2 era take off for SF2?
Trotski replied to swambast's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
not really, if you import an FE aircraft into SF , the FM is all over the shop. Your wingmen do strange stuff, if they even take off at all, its probably relatively simple to sort out, but as i am no rocket scientist when it comes to FM's I dont have a clue, theoretically though one would presume that it should work in either FE or SF , but that is beyond my paygrade. -

Trotski replied to swambast's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
That has been my thought since forever !! if FE could utilise the same engine for graphics etc as SF has then it would be even more outstanding as a sim, and open up the possibility of doing the prob based stuff over there , I dont have the tech know how to do that though, it needs some of you Voodoo users who do all the techie stuff, and can add 2 and 2 together and not get 3 hehehehe. As for TK....who knows what goes on in his head, but I get a feeling he would be awkward about it. -

Why didn't the World War 2 era take off for SF2?
Trotski replied to swambast's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
I think most of us "old hands" of SF/FE would agree with those sentiments, I have had the whole shooting match of this sime both as the orginal SF Project one, and FE 1 all the way through to now, and I have every expansion and addon going for this sim. OK its maybe not the most "accurate" flight sim on the market, but it has to be one of the most fun, and most user friendly ones , if you wan spot on accurate and "realistic" sims such as the IL series, and the DCS world series, those sims are both accurate and beautiful, however I always come back to these because they are just FUN !! and they do the job admirably , I tend to agree with your sentiments about the Korea scenario, however there is one on this site, with most of the important and relevant aircraft involved in Korea, on this site, for this sim........WWII well tk I suppose had to compete with the IL series, and he was never going to really make a profit from it I guess, I'm not a TK fan boy at all, I think he took his money and fucked us off, but thats just my opinion, and not everyone will agree I expect. Anyway, enjoy and get into some modding, and help us keep this sim current and fighting on !! -

As I said Baffmeister, SF was not designed to be a prop sim, hence my comments about using FE as a basis, as that is. -

I'm gonna jump on the Craphead....err....Crapun.....errr so sorry Capun bashing bandwagon, because I cannot pass up the opportunity to diss the tosser , to say I dislike him slightly is maybe taking British understatement to the very limits of credibility. But enough about that oxygen thief....err I mean modder ( cough , cough) and to just say that the SF series isn't really meant to be a follow on to the excellent EAW, and other sims from the period, rather it was really to take the Century series, and beyond and run down that route, with the occasional Prop aircraft represented, ie the Skyraider, and some others, but the main emphasis on the jet age. I would like to see more of the prop era ie from WWI through to the mid to late 40's developed on the FE platform, there are of course some issues, although you can get some stuff to work in FE, not all of it will ( I may be misinformed here, so correct me if I am wrong ) Stephen 1918 is actually working on some Spanish Civil War stuff, which is nice to see, but there are far fewer modders on FE than there are on SF , also the FE engine is a bit crap compared to SF ( you cannot use JPG skins for example) but the options ARE there for modders to maybe shoehorn WWII stuff onto that engine....Just a thought, maybe I am misguided somewhat , however maybe its an option ? -
The InfographicsShow - The F-35 issues.. your thoughts?
Trotski replied to Nesher's topic in Military and General Aviation
Bloody things a White Elephant, and a white elephant that could get pilots killed , all because of political and economic philandering and penny pinching, what make it worse is the RAF has bought this pile of shit. -
USAF serial number decals
Trotski replied to kblomkvist's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
think that is quite a logical conclusion Nyght , and most likely accurate -
My new set up is pretty much the same , except I have the Ryzen R9 , and I have a single SSD , and a 4TB HDD instead, and its brutale !!

Need a little help
Trotski replied to CowboyTodd41's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
Why would you need one ? basically the architecture of the SF/FE series is so logical and easy and the ability to create a new environment to have a particular map or campaign, or to add mods , is so simple the use of mod managers not only is redundant, it is an over complication and would most likely cause more issues than it would solve, also, the support network on this site for all the iterations of the sim is so good, that there should be little or no confusion as to the procedures and steps needed to install mods or campaigns, or terrains etc etc. -
V Bombers of the RAF
Trotski replied to GunnySonics's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
Not only do you have to sell your soul to get to the site, you then MUST follow all the rules with no deviation , oh yeah and make sure if you do that your clock wherever you are in the world, is synced to Crapheads.......I have to say, some of the stuff over there is actually worth having, but more of it is actual dross...........Screw him, screw his site, not worth the bother, -

Trotski replied to Stephen1918's topic in Thirdwire - First Eagles 1&2
Indeed, the Chirri is a much needed model, and I'm not sure if Geezer is still working on it, he's been AWOL for a while now, hope he's ok. -

I only mentioned them because Geezers original models were designed for FE rather than SF -

Trotski replied to Stephen1918's topic in Thirdwire - First Eagles 1&2
Yessir, its just a matter of converting the fm's etc to make sure they work ok in FE .........and that is beyond my ability, its black majiks an voodoo stuff is that, I believe there is an HS-123 floating around out there too. plus some Breugets and a few others . There is also an early HE111 and DO-17 as well, not sure if those are of Craparses site though. -

Trotski replied to Stephen1918's topic in Thirdwire - First Eagles 1&2
opens up some possibilities, getting an early B 109 in would be nice along with the Chaika and Ratas as well of course.....and maybe even a Ju87A.........so many possibilities !! now if only we could use JPG's instead of BMP's !!!
