FA-18Cs back from the dead to join the Marines
Trotski replied to MigBuster's topic in Military and General Aviation
ha !! now if only the RAF and Fleet Air Arm would get their Harriers back !! -
Version FE2
95 downloads
The final collection of Eindeckers, the infamous EIV . apparently there were only ever 50 airframes operational, one assumes that different squadrons were allocated 1 or 2 at a time, and as the aircraft was really not that much of an improvement over the EIII it must have been a rare bird indeed, as the Albatri were starting to come into service around the same time, so few of these aircraft were around, So, the skins are as follows, for the EIVa or 3 gun version, of which there was only ever one, thats the one you get ( you can of course use any of the other skins with this version if you like the idea of 3 Spandaus ) the rest of them are for the production 2 gun EIV , so I have done 2 factory finish skins, one CDL, and one Grey, I have also done Max Immelmans EIV, along with Kurt Students from Fokker Staffel 3, one skin representing a machine from KeK 3 flown by many different pilots, the final skin is of an aircraft called Hannah, now I have seen a few different colours for this particular aircraft, from Kesta 4, there is one pretty clear photo, which shows that it was at some time camouflaged, the colours are speculative, but I think they look about right, I have also seen pictures of the same aircraft in CDL as well, so I did both of them just for good measure. As with the other releases, the requisite files are all included, the ~~Numbers for the named aircraft are correct to the best of my knowledge, the other FOK numbers, are again speculative, but not far off the mark hopefully. The call outs for the usual suspects is as follows, Von S and his troupe, for all the behind the scenes jiggery pokery, Laton for making the models, and to peter for the FM's, also Gambit and Von Deutchmark for any original skins I have butchered and hacked about ( hopefully for the better !! ) As always, please please ENJOY !! -
Quick question on downloading AC for Aces campaign
Trotski replied to jack72's topic in Thirdwire - First Eagles 1&2
yeah most FE 1 stuff does work with FE2, but if you have alternative FE2 files already in place, that you are comfortable with, then you will not need any of the original ones, I do this all the time, once you get used to the way the files are stored, and where they are stored, then it all becomes pretty easy, and, if the 'ports are working fine, then you have done it correctly.......I assume you have fired it up and flown them of course. But to repeat, most FE1 files work very happily in FE 2 , I dont recall ever having any issues at least, and I fiddle around with my files quite a lot. if you get stuck, then take a peek at the forums, there are loads of hints tips etc in there, failing that just give me a shout and I will be more than happy to help. -
Quick question on downloading AC for Aces campaign

Which other files mate ? if you mean guns, pilots sounds etc, then put those in the relevant folders......make sure your soundlist.ini is updated with any new sound files though -
File Name: Fokker EII File Submitter: trotski00 File Submitted: 14 November 2016 File Category: Fokker Skins As promised here are the EII Fokker skins, I have only done the factory finish skins for the parabellum EIIa version, as there to the best of my knowledge were only ever 4 parabellum armed EII's produced, as the parabellum was totally useless on the Eindecker as a synchronised weapon, so most of the EII's were Spandau armed there were also some Swartzlose armed versions as well, but unfortunately we dont have those modelled, ( HINT HINT SOMEBODY !! ) So mainly the skins are for the EII version, the factory finished ones are a CDL finish, with early crosses, and a Fokker Grey finish with later crosses, I have also done 2 skins from KeK Vaux, one being an all white machine ( bet it didnt stay white long !! ) and Frieherr Von Althaus Fokker Grey ,also a KeK Vaux machine, 2 aircraft from our black tailed friends of Flt Abt 9, Bruckmann, and Kissenberth, Bohme also possibly flew these machines as well, finally Von Crailsheims machine of Flt Abt 53. As with the EIII and EI releases, these skins are for Latons models only Borts will not work with these skins !! be aware please. all the files are included guns, decals sounds pilots et al. For some reason I didnt relly enjoy doing these EII's maybe because they were an interim aircraft pretty quickly superceded by the EIII , so apologies if they dont seem as exciting as some of the other skins, but to be honest, there isnt a lot of choice on the Eindeckers. The usual thanks and shout outs go to Von S and his band of happy campers, Laton, and Peter for doing the models and fm's respectivley, also to Gambit and Von Deutchmark whos original skins I have hi jacked and chopped about. I shall do a couple of E IV's next just for continuities sake, then on to a new aircraft, not sure what yet though as the D VII and DR I 's seem to be pretty well covered to death, so maybe some of the Pfalz's or something...we shall see !! As always ENJOY Click here to download this file

This is the pack of updated skins for the ~Fokker EI I have done 4 skins for the Spandau armed version, as follows:- A generic factory CDL finish machine, Oswald Bolcke's eindecker, which apparently was also flown by Max Immelman, Unteroffizier Kneistes machine, and finally Wilhelm Frankl, of KeK Vaux , unfortunately, when Laton made the models for this aeroplane, he made the EI Spandau version with wire wheels for some reason, this to the best of my knowledge, was not an actual operational fact, I have yet to see a front line Fokker with no wheel covers, to modify this Laton would need to re do the LODs for this aircraft, but anyhow we must work with what we have at hand ! the Parabellum armed aircraft are another 4 skins, as follows:- A generic CDL version, ~Max Immelman's machine, Otto Parschau and finally Kurt Wintgens. All the skins are re works of Gambits, and Von Deutchmarks original skins, and I have re done them as as I said before, I really , really , REALLY hate painted on decals, and avoid them wherever possible. So I have made new decals, numbers etc to just give this early aircraft a bit of a work over, the serials are not particularly accurate for the EI, however the ones for the for the aircraft with named pilots are, and I have tried to get those as correct as possible with the resources available to me. I have included, as with the EIII. all the guns, decals, pilots, and sounds needed to get you up and running, hopefully I have got everything in there, and not missed anything off. I shall be doing the EII's next, so we shall have a full set of Eindeckers for your delectation. BE AWARE, these skins are for Latons models, and NOT for Borts !!! just in case any one tries it and wonders why they will not work on those models !! Again, I thank Laton for actually making the aircraft in the first place, tho Gambit and Von Deutchmark for producing the skins for me to play around with, also a HUGE shout out to Von S and his merry band of men for doing all the jiggery pokery and voodoo stuff, and finally to Peter for giving us most excellent FM's As always....ENJOY I -

File Name: Fokker EIII File Submitter: trotski00 File Submitted: 11 November 2016 File Category: Fokker Skins ~These are 10 new ( ish ) skins the originals were done by Gambit , however, I have a pathological hatred of painted on decals, especially in FE 2 , as the bmp format is just horrible, Jpg is so much better ( Load some FE aircraft into SF 2 and you will see what I mean !!! ) Anyhow, these skins are for Latons most excellent Fokker EIII, the skins can be used in either version , ie. the EIII or the EIIIa ( which never really existed, the A model just has twin Spandaus, and that was not a common modification on EIII's ) So the Skins are as follows, A factory finished EIII, 2 Austrian Navy machines one an unusual all over Green,including the cowl , Udets EII , which I have painted in grey with the blue stripe, as there is evidence to suggest the Red stripe isn't actually correct so I have gone with that colour, Boheme, also redone as the one available in the uploads have the black and white colours the wrong way around, also there is evidence to suggest this machine was also a grey one, and not linen, 3 different coloured Turkish machines, and a machine flown by Leopold Anslinger with the iron cross markings on the horizontal stabilisers, which is a bit different I think, and finally a blue EIII that is possibly a Jasta 9 machine. there were many more I could have done as well, but I think some of the ones I was thinking about were actually EII's not EIII's, so watch this space i shall hopefully do some EI & EII skins as well. I have made new decals for all the marking positions, the trestle marks and also FOK.EIII numbers , not all aircraft had these so some of the skins dont have them showing, the personal machines, I have added separate FOK numbers, so they are hopefully correct (ish) I have also included the hangar screen and the Von S Data files, guns, pilot , decals, and sounds are all included in the package as well, I hope I have not missed anything out, but I expect most of you already have all the pertinent bits if I did. Thanks to Laton for producing the Eindeckers, ( please make me a Swartzlose armed AIII please !! ) to Von S and his band of brothers for doing all the black majiks on the data files, also to Peter for doing all his hard work on FM's finally to Gambit, and to Von Deutchmark for making the skins that I can come along and modify.

SORRY FROM ALL.tnx from logan
Trotski replied to kurdistan1's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
As Logan just said, jump in the pond.....its a big one, and there are never enough modders, skinners, , tweakers, testers , modding for a lot of folk is not an option as getting 3ds max can be a costly enterprise, I would love to have a shot at it, but I cannot afford to purchase 3ds, so I skin instead, and I would say that skinning is a good place to start on the modding route, you can use programmes such as GIMP, which is free, and we ALL love free !! Also, there is lots of help and support available on this site, if you get stuck , dont be afraid to post a question, someone will assist no matter how small an issue it may be........As the old saying goes, if it isnt available, make yer own !! -
SORRY FROM ALL.tnx from logan
Trotski replied to kurdistan1's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
The main problem as I see it, is that SF and FE have sort have reached a bit of an impasse, that is to say, TK is not developing the game further, and thus , we find ourselves with an aging simulation, which has so many possibilities, but we dont have the means to unlock a lot of the potential , as a lot of the files are hardcoded and locked by TK, there is a lot of development stuff going on behind the scenes, Wrench for example I know is working on some stuff, as are others, however health, and real life do interfere somewhat, and everything slows down, so, just bear with it mate, maybe have a go at doing some modding yourself, it all helps, to keep these sims alive and kicking !! -
Surely scrapping a countries constitution, is not a viable option, as it would by its very nature be UN constitutional, also, as for the religious bits, what has this to do with politics anyhow. Religion, or belief in the flying spaghetti monster , should be kept apart from governance, as it has zero to do with it, and lets be honest, the vast majority of voters are sectarian anyhow ( certainly in the UK ) and to play the religion card in a political scenario, is just another vote getter, aimed at the more devout population, and as such is nothing to do with politics at all, when you start mixing religious rhetoric in with politics, you end up with the same sort of thing as Islam is advertising, just with a different brand logo.......so, keep religion out of politics completely as it is a recipe for disaster, as once religious fanatics get this particular bit between their collective teeth, insanity, death and disaster ensues. Maybe I am just seeing this from my Pagan point of view, dont get me wrong, I have no issues with religion, in all its different forms, however when mixed in with policy making that affects the population of a country wherever that country may be, you end up with zealots, inquisitions, jihads and crusades....bloody silly way to run things ain't it !

Should I get WOE on steam?
Trotski replied to fedace101's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
errr no.....no point if you already have the newer stuff, also more of the mods available on this site are for SF series now, as the majority of folk have either upgraded or not had the originals . -
Should I get WOE on steam?
Trotski replied to fedace101's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
Not really, if you are using SF2, it would be a step backwards a little, not that its a awful step, but to be honest, you would be better served by just getting the sf2 Europe version. Not saying dont buy, as that of course is your choice, but it would be a backwards motion. -
DH.104 Dove?
