I'm not sure these navy gunsights were depressable. That's why there are so many rings and the ladder from the bottom to the center. Check the F-8 tactical manual I sent you earlier but I don't think there is any mention of depressing the gunsight for bomb aiming etc -

According to TK when his forums were up RCS is calculated on the aircrafts overall hit box size. So in other words RCS in the game is simulated by the physical size of the aircraft. The RCS modifying value in the data.ini then reduces the RCS size to take into account RCS reduction technology for that specific aircraft. More detailed information here: I don't mess around with hit boxes so I'm not that knowledgeable on them. But if the hit box is linked to each specific node and therefore the stub wing hit boxes are not 'there' when they are not loaded then technically the game is already not using them for the RCS calculation? -

Post Vietnam F-105 loadouts?
dtmdragon replied to Viggen's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
Was there ever a fake pilot spine for this? -

Agreed, especially with the F-4G -

Did you test if 'RADAR_IN_RANGE_INDICATOR' functions for an IRM missile WITH a radar lock on? -

Hours spent playing this one in the early 2000's I remember calling in the artillery strikes! -

It wasn't just the Arge's either, the Sea Harriers had nothing more sophisticated than bundles of chaff rigged in thier air brakes as well. -

Awsome work @ravenclaw_007 Just one small detail for the Genie. The missiles with a brown band like you have done had no warhead but a live rocket motor. These are the ones you will see in most photos of the Genie being fired. A Genie with a live nuclear warhead is completely white with no colored bands, even though it does have a live rocket motor. This was how a live nuclear weapon was identified and differentiated from other weapons. This information is from the same F-106 Facebook group as before. -
AIM-4F Super Falcon
dtmdragon replied to ravenclaw_007's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
They were stored 'upside down' in the missile containers. I think it's just in museum displays or publicity photos they rotate it so the writing is the correct way up and readable. -

Explain by this guy in a new reply overnight: When the AIM4F was first designed, the wind tunnel testing "sort of suggested" that a "sonic boom breaker" was needed to maintain airflow over the control surfaces at the back of the missle. Then, later on, with the design of the AIM4G, they realized it wasn't needed. When I first started working on the AIM4F/G, there were still "threaded studs" molded into the 4F radome. Over the years, as the guidance units were sent through depot, the ceramic radomes were replaced with ones that did not have the threaded stud. So, the "probe" more or less disappeared because it wasn't needed after all.
