Something Evil This Way Comes...
Major Lee replied to Dave's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
Very nice work! I saw one in Virginia Beach, flying out of Oceana... My wife and I were on vacation and just about to pull out of a steak house after supper. I stopped the car and jumped out with my camera; wife got one more example of nutty airplane behavior as I ran around the car trying to get a shot... -

P-47C Any plans to round out the line with D23 and D25 - D28 bubbletops? -
WWII Europe
Major Lee replied to Veltro2k's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Prop Heads Forum
Well, in my (tiny) mind, the hardest part of a terrain is having a high quality set of terrain tiles to use. The other stuff are just details... Hi-Fi Terrain Tiles are works of art. Any fine sets available for use? Some things are easily farmed out in sections for group effort... -

I'm just really glad for the guy making the hi-fi P-47-D23 and D25, and also the hi-fi Me109K... -

"America's Hundred Thousand: US Production fighters of World War Two", by Francis Dean, published by schiffer Both have hard data, comparative data charts, direct comparisons and written commentary by pilots who flew them individually or at the fighter conference for direct comparison... -

Very nice Sunderland! You do very well with large aircraft. I would really love to see your B17G for WWII Europe... -
One should neither exaggerate nor denigrate their military service. Just putting on the uniform is tough enough... In reality, I was an E4 in the US Army infantry and went to Airborne school and NBC Defense school... Pretty mundane compared to most veterans here! For the record, for those who don't know the history behind my online handle, "Major Lee" is a fictional persona that dates back to my EAW flight sim days, my old, old website and some fictional stories I had written...

Himalaya Terrain
Major Lee replied to Wrench's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - File Announcements
It's an old issue about the way and order in which things are drawn... TK knows about it, but this is probably the only map that can produce this issue... He said it would take some fancy rewrite to correct... -

Himalaya Terrain
Major Lee replied to Wrench's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - File Announcements
Hi Wrench, you couldn't find a "readme" because there wasn't one in the original zip... Does SF2 draw the mountains above a solid cloud layer? In solid overcast, SF doesn't draw the mountain tops above the clouds, but they show up on TFR and they most certainly are there, just invisible... Great job with the update! ML -
Recommended Reading, Military and General Aviation
Major Lee replied to Fubar512's topic in Military and General Aviation
I would second "Rupert Red Two", by Jack Broughton... P-47s to the Thunderbirds... "Hell Hawks: the Untold Story of the American Fliers Who Savaged Hitler's Wehrmacht" by Door and Jones, about the 365th FG... "Boyd: the Fighter Pilot Who Changed the Art of War", by Robert Coram... Just get a copy and read it... -
Hey, I just found out that the Huey didn't make the show. Seems it had transmission problems enroute and landed in a field somewhere... Oh well... Any P-47s???

Wings Over Russia
Major Lee replied to jomni's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Prop Heads Forum
You're on the credits list, Russ. I even saw my name on the credits list too... I can't for the life of me figure out what they used that I worked on???? Well, whatever it was, I hope it suits the purpose. Great looking set up!! ML
