Loading Screen weirdness at 80% help?
Spudknocker posted a topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
Hello! I have had a weird issue as of late where the mission will load up to 80% and then get stuck there and the mission's sounds start, engine, radio calls, clearance for take off etc its like the mission has started but the screen is stuck on loading. This usually occurs during single missions on maps like Germany CE or IR2003 I have a full merged install with a Intel i7 12 gb of ram and an intel 5500 graphics card. I kinda figured it was either a graphics or a terrain issue, has anyone had this happen? or have a fix? thanks! -
Loading Screen weirdness at 80% help?
Spudknocker replied to Spudknocker's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
Interesting! also I find that having graphics settings on unlimited helps because the game doesn't have to try and shrink all the BMP/JPG files. Oddly enough I get faster loading times and higher FPS with highest graphics settings on. But ya Im not sure what ground object did the damage but I ended up replacing all of my SAMs, AAA and Tanks and no more issues. -

Spudknocker replied to Spudknocker's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
Ah I figured out the problem it was issues with ground objects. I redid my ground objects folder and it seems to be working fine now. And I usually get between 40-60 frames a second with the 5500 card. -

Loading screen crashes
Spudknocker posted a topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
There is a weird crash that I get once and awhile usually on the GermanyCE terrain (but have had it on others) where the loading hangs up at 80% but the sounds of the mission start in the loading screen, the engine sounds and the tower giving clearance for takeoff etc. Does anyone have a fix for this or have experienced this? -

Whats better? BMP vs JPG?
Spudknocker posted a topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
Hi! Can anyone explain the differences between using a JPG file verses a BMP file for skins or terrains etc? I have a feeling that JPGs are better and work smoother but I really don't know -

Loadouts that work with AI pilots
Spudknocker posted a topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
Hi Combat ace! I'm sure this has been answered before but I am having trouble with AI pilots not dropping their bombs, I know that AI wont drop LGB's but they also aren't dropping JDAMS for me. Most of the time they even have trouble dropping the _AI version of LGB's is this due to a Mixed loadout of like GBU-10_AI and GBU-12_AI's? Am I doing something that I don't know about? Any and all help is def appreciated! Thanks -
Su-30MKI Flanker Indian Air Force
Spudknocker posted a topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - File Announcements
File Name: Su-30MKI Flanker Indian Air Force File Submitter: Spudknocker File Submitted: 14 September 2015 File Category: Su-30 The Sukhoi Su-30MKI[3] (NATO reporting name: Flanker-H) is a twinjet Multirole Air superiority fighter developed by Russia's Sukhoi and built under licence by India's Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) for the Indian Air Force (IAF). A variant of the Sukhoi Su-30, it is a heavy, all-weather, long-range fighter. Development of the variant started after India signed a deal with Russia in 2000 to manufacture 140 Su-30 fighter jets.[4] The first Russian-made Su-30MKI variant was accepted into the Indian Air Force in 2002,[5] while the first indigenously assembled Su-30MKI entered service with the IAF in 2004.[6] Additional MKIs have been ordered to increase the total to 272. The IAF had 200 Su-30MKIs in service as of August 2014.[1] The Su-30MKI is expected to form the backbone of the Indian Air Force's fighter fleet to 2020 and beyond This is a simple mod of my Earlier Su-30MKM, these are not perfect by any means I just wanted to have an MKI in my SF2 jet library. Please feel free to modify as you wish I know other modders can make this jet even better!, please credit me, Spudknocker, for anything uploaded for download. Please adhere to the Combat ace fair use agreement and no payware please! Have Fun! Click here to download this file -
SEAD Missions broken?
Spudknocker posted a topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
Hello! I was having some issues with sead missions on all years from 1950-2050, everytime I load a SEAD mission there are only 2 maybe 3 targets, a Barlock and maybe a ZPU-23 or two. I was wondering if this was a game wide issue? Any fixes to make SEAD flights a little more target rich? -

Su-30MKM Flanker Royal Malaysian Air Force
Spudknocker posted a topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - File Announcements
File Name: Su-30MKM Flanker Royal Malaysian Air Force File Submitter: Spudknocker File Submitted: 01 September 2015 File Category: Su-30 The Sukhoi Su-30MKM (Modernizirovannyi Kommercheskiy Malaysia – Modernized Export Malaysia) is a supermaneuverable fighter of the Royal Malaysian Air Force. It is a variant of the Su-30 series fighters, with many significant improvements over the original Su-30MK export version.[2] The Su-30MKM was developed by the Sukhoi Design Bureau and is based on the Su-30MKI of the Indian Air Force. Both aircraft have common airframe, thrust vectoring engines and digital fly-by-wire system, However the MKM version differs from the MKI mainly in the composition of the on board avionics.[1] It can carry up to 8,000 kg/ 17,650 lb of weapons and payloads over 700 nmi unrefueled combat radius.[2] In 2003, the Su-30MKM was selected by the Royal Malaysian Air Force (RMAF). In August 2003, during the course of President Vladimir Putin’s official visit to Malaysia, the contract for the Su-30MKM aircraft was signed. Except for Russian MiG-29s, the RMAF has previously operated aircraft of Western origin. At the time of delivery the Su-30MKMs were the most advanced and heavy fighters in SouthEast Asia. This is my first attempt at making a Malaysian Su-30MKM, I am still new to the modding community and if anyone has any suggestions or wants to add anything please let me know! Currently working on an Su-30MKI as well. Click here to download this file
