Simhq review of WOI is up
tank03 replied to Lobo__'s topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
I'm looking forward to the CA review. I have a sense of what is new (the AI is so much closer to what I've always wanted) but I'm not sure what other, hidden changes have been made and it would be nice to read a competent summary of what is new with the game. -
Simhq review of WOI is up
tank03 replied to Lobo__'s topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
Don't worry, it runs fine on my old, crappy system. The only concession I had to make was shutting off the shadows, other than that its runs pretty smoothly on my stock, on-board Dell graphics card. -
Campaigns...to runway start or not to runway start...?
tank03 replied to malibu43's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
Agreed. In WOE/WOV I'd usually start in the air and hit <esc> when done with the mission. However, given the great improvement in the AI with WOI, I've been flying back to base, and frequently having to fight all the way back. I'm really loving the challenge the new AI has produced. Yesterday I had a flight of Mig-17's follow me all the way back to base. I was out of ammo but I was able to keep ahead of them most of the way but ended up running out of fuel. They got me just offshore. -
CombatAce Needs Your Help!
tank03 replied to FastCargo's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
I do quite a fair bit of critical editing and writing for work so I'd have no problem contributing whatever I can. I'd be happy to edit existing articles to "clean them up" in terms of consistency of language, narrative flow, and content organization. My TW knowledge is sometimes spotty but I think I'm firmly in the "Intermediate" level for most subjects and would be happy to contribute any new articles if given a topic. For those advanced topics, though I may not know the details, I think I could edit based on readability and ease of understanding rather than content. As neither a modder nor a producer of new a/c I'm thrilled to have a chance to contribute back to CA. Let me know whatever you may need of me. -
Smoky question XD
tank03 replied to hide86's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mods/Skinning Discussion
I thought for sure there was already a mod for that somewhere. Have you checked the download section? -
My wife makes it easy. She thinks V-day is just a ploy by the card/flower/chocolate industry so she doesn't insist on anything but a handmade card.

Memory Question?
tank03 replied to Hawk MMS's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
I recently upgraded my RAM from 512 to 1G and it made a significant difference in game play. It seems that my computer in general is just much faster than before and the TW games load and play better than before. I think I paid about $50.00US at Bestbuy, and it took less than 5 minutes to swap the memory. -
I'd love to place a bet but I can't bring myself to make a prediction and risk jinxing my beloved Patriots.

MER and TER rank weapon drop sequence
tank03 replied to echoco's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mods/Skinning Discussion
RippleQuantity=1,2,3,6,12,18 RippleInterval=60,100,140 Ripple refers to the release settings. Quantity is the number of bombs to release with each push of the button, and interval is the time lag between each bomb release. The ripple interval is in milliseconds. Both ripple quantity and interval can be cycled in-game using the bracket keys> [ and ]. -
How to add SAM sites?

Get Wrench's "Ship wreck" available in the download's section. It includes a great tutorial on adding objects to the terrain. http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?autom...p;showfile=4522 -

Over the years, how many of those posts said, "check the Knowledge Base!"??

Agreed! They said his plan had a "remote chance of success", and I imagine it's because everyone on board would be lining up to throttle the punk.

Wov missions
tank03 replied to topcat II's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
Need some more info. What a/c, mission type, terrain, date of action, etc. My first thought is it's a date issue, but without any info it's just a guess. -
WoV - I can't fire any weapon - please help!
tank03 replied to Beery's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
You can select a ground target (red box)in the game and the guided bombs will go for that target (if they are delivered within correct parameters), but you don't actually use the ground radar to select/lock the target. -
The loss of a dear pet can hit just as hard as the loss of any family member. You have my condolences.

Blue Water Operations
tank03 replied to Canadair's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mission/Campaign Building Discussion
It'd be great if you posted them, I'm quite interested in giving them a try. -
I'm only familiar with the Third Wire stuff, but I'd like dynamic weather that changes during the course of the flight. Working airborne refueling would be a plus as well.

A matter of thrust....
tank03 replied to CharlieRomeo's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
Here is a link to an article in the Knowledge Base which explains how to edit engine data: http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?showtopic=12100 You may want to review all the KB articles as it has a ton of info and usually answers most questions. -
Are you refering to a graphics issue (a loss of framerate), or the actual a/c is bucking in flight? If it's an a/c issue, what plane are you flying and in what game?

I'd suggest the "Obviously drunk while typing" category. Seems rampant at times.
