Edward's Solomons Campaign
SupGen replied to SupGen's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - World War II Forum
I dunno; the KAW Campaign is still there but when I clicked to "see Edwards other files" it said there's nothing there, so you're probably right. Thanks. -
Install problems
SupGen replied to Romflyer's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
Cool. -
Thanks, the screens in BoB are working fine even if the Campaign isn't. I asked because my ADD, numbnut self downloaded Wings Over Africa from the DAT site; I actually got the Mainscreen on that to work with a modified Mainscreen ini. from the Falklands mod. I'll check that terrain name thing in BoB, I'm beginning to think I'll just re-install it, box stock this time.

Try the link at ThirdWire here: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=2da43d38-db71-4c1b-bc6a-9b6652cd92a3&DisplayLang=en . After I re-installed my OS, although al my SF2 stuff was on another, unaffected hard drive I had to re-install parts of DX whatever. Yeah, so it's probably worth a try before you consider anything more drastic. -
Wrench, that would be great if you could do that. The flyable Spit Sqns are just 41 and 603 Sqns. The DAT Spits do have negative angles on tailwheel steering; as well as both ReverseInput and ReverseModelOrientation on both the tailwheel and rudder. Pretty sure the combination of those has something to do with it, but as you say it's much easier to switch planes. If you could do those skins, thanks a million! The 303 (Polish) skin I found is Hurricane1. As far as the Campaign goes, as you can see above, I can't even get it to run, yet! Edit: OK Wrench, I'm sold! Just downloaded the TMF Spit Mk1A and it is a beauty, and it's got the 41 and 610 Sqn skins! Awaiting 603 with worms on my tongue (bated breath).

What would cause AI birds to mill around in circles after the player flown aircraft takes off? This happens with my Spits (only) on the BoB terrain with Baltikas' BoB mod. The Spits are DAT birds; the oldest versions I could find because all the newer ones have DDS skins and won't accept the skins included with the mod. I'm sure I've seen similar references here somewhere but don't know where. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Ditto. Yeah, if you could send me those files, I'd appreciate it. Thanks. Edit: Was just looking things over again and I think it's squadrons I'm missing. The campaign ini. calls for several I don't seem to have; 303 (Polish), 610 (Czech), and 25, 82, and 151 (RAF). Do you have those and if so, where did you get them? Thanks again.

Hey Wrench, thanks a lot; appreciate the quick response. By the way, did you see this: http://combatace.com/topic/34895-wov-target-object-placement-interface-tool-wip/ (Swambast's latest post) at first I thought you had bumped an old thread to see if I'd spot it but just a coincidence. Looks cool though. -

SupGen replied to whiteknight06604's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
Where is this thing? I've searched for it a couple of times, never find it. -
Snailman, the AA-6F is from Silverbolts' High Definition Russian Missles pack here: http://combatace.com/files/file/9250-hd-russiansoviet-aams-for-sf2/ .A must for those who fly the Red side. Have you tried getting a radar lock on the target with the long-ranged IR missles? I don't know for sure if that'll work, but it may be worth a try. Fubar?

Snailman, you might want to take a look at those missles with the Weapons Editor; radar guided missles with a launch range exceeding seeker range usually (and should, I think) have the Mid-course Correction box checked. This and a few other things (like Home-on-Jam) aren't indicated in the weapons' Data ini., so the only way to know is to use the Editor. Beam riders, at least in real life, fly a pure persuit course (I think) whereas SAHM flies lead persuit (toward the targets' predicted position at intercept). The IR missles I'm not sure about, don't know if they use Mid-course Correction or not. Put that Weapons Editor to use, I guess, and check 'em out. You'll probably find out lots of other useful tidbits as well. Good luck! A little update: I just checked with the Weapons Editor and the AA-6F (R-40TD, IR guided) does use Mid-course Correction.

That's what people said before both world wars. The idea that because the Chinese hold a lot of our paper debt it would prevent a war between us is not realistic. That debt wouldn't be sold because it would be worthless, having been declared null and void on day one of hostilities.
-
Gepard, I hate to argue (well maybe not ) but the wars of the past have a way of becoming the wars of the present very quickly; the wars we fight in the future may not look anything like the wars we are fighting now. Planning on those wars being no more intense than invading a third-world s#%thole like Iraq would be criminal. Look what's going on in the Pacific at the moment between China, Japan, and the Philippines. For better or for worse, the United States has treaty obligations to Japan as well as Taiwan. I'm already extremely unhappy that the best the Navy has is the Super Hornet; while not a bad fighter, it doesn't have the margin of superiority over aircraft in the Chinese inventory that I would like to see. We've already fought one Pacific war where we started with aircraft that were overmatched by our opponents; I don't want to fight another.
