Keyboard controls' Cockahoop!
ezlead replied to jayo's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
Does it do the same for all aircraft? Try different aircraft and see if result is the same. -
Keyboard controls' Cockahoop!
ezlead replied to jayo's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
Go to controls folder. Open it to default.ini right click on default.ini and scroll down to properties. click properties and see if read only is checked. If it is,uncheck it and then click apply. Then try to redo the controls. -
Yeah,Guns tell us what it was like in the 'Old Corps' Happy Birthday to us. 234 years of rompin',stompin',a-- kicken' death and destruction. By the way,I'm former 1st/lt USMC,Vietnam Vet. '67-'73 A-6 driver and 2nd Bn,9th Marines FAC.

I can't believe it's been 20 years. Course,I can't believe that I watched it being built.(On TV) I've seen a lot of good and bad when it comes to history. Like Jug,my first impression was "It's about @#$%@#$ time!!"

Talk about advancing to the sound of the guns. How about that LADY police officer! She heard the gunfire,and didn't hesitate. She walked in,engaged the gunman,and even after being shot herself,she put him down. It just shows that heroes are everywhere,they just don't know it until the time comes.

ezlead replied to SayethWhaaaa's topic in Military and General Aviation
I used to tell ALL my right seaters in the brief,If you hear me say Eject,Eject,Eject! Don't bother to look over and say "WHAT"!. All you'll see is a black smoking hole where I used to be setting. Oh yah and it will get very windy and noisy. -

WW2: Invasion of Japan?
ezlead replied to Stratos's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Prop Heads Forum
FatMan: Get Wrench's terrific Okinawa terrain here: http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?app=downloads&showfile=9767 I have rar'ed a beta campaign to try. Operation Olympic It is strictly a beta campaign. If you want to change anything in it,feel free to go ahead. It is for use for anyone here. I made a couple small edits to wrench's okinawa_targets,okinawa_nations and okinawa_movement files. Wrench: if you do not want them to use my changes,please PM me and I will remove them post haste. The aircraft are available from here or the modders sites. There is a readme in the rar. If anyone has any questions or comments please feel free to PM me and I will try to help. I make many campaigns for myself,this is the first that I have sent out. Olympic.rar -
I just found out that EAW has a WW1 option/campaign. Where do you go to get it?
-
Thanks Pobs,I'll give it a shot!
-
Col: I bookmarked the link. Thanks very much. I will give it another go. After I left here I found the modder startup kit by nixarass. Just got it to make sure I have all the tools. Again,Thanks much.
-
Thanks again for your quick reply Col. I've tried making aircraft for EAW and Third Wire sims,so I know how difficult it is. I could not get the hang of the drawing software. I tried for several weeks. I will patiently wait for the mod gurus to complete their work. The old proverbial '2 weeks',right. I did get DAW to operate on 1.28b. You just have to watch what files you put in the folder. PS I think the birds flying around are a HOOT!

This ought to stir up a little talk
ezlead replied to Jarhead1's topic in Military and General Aviation
You need a waiver from the Friendly Aviation Administration (FAA)to do that kind of flying. Yes,even in an airshow. If they didn't have one they should have been busted. Airshow flying is dangerous enough without a couple of non-briefed Meatheads hotrodding around. Yes,it's very cool,but also very illegal. -
West Berlin airfield problem! (WOE)
ezlead replied to Kulbit80's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
Is it WOE default GermanyCE terrain? What airfield? -
HUD problem
ezlead replied to zxrex's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
Look in cockpit/HUD file and see what size the TGA's or BMP's are. My machine will only read a tga or bmp if it a base 16 size (32x32,64x64,128x128,256x256 all the way to 2048 or higher or 128x?,256x?,1024x?,etc) If it is 100x?, 200x?, 400x? I get the white rectangles just like your showing. Same thing for decals and numbers. You will need a program to change the size of these tga's/bmp's. I use Paintshop Pro. -
Seems like everything is looking and working great. Nice work on the new format. I specially like seeing the new EAW section. This is where most of got our start and it would be a shame to see it go away.

Steel ,lead and probably depleted uranium. If it gets down to where it's supposed to go,you probably don't need that much high explosive to get the job done.
-
It bodes well for our country,even though most don't feel he has earned it. YET!! Has anyone checked him for 666.
-
That's a good one! Sounds just like what a Marine would do,and very politically correct for the times.
-
Dave: Sorry about your Lions,but I had to root for my Bears. That new young QB of yours looked pretty damn good. Both defenses left a lot to be desired. Not much pass defense either way. Anyway,your Tigers are still alive while my White Sox and Cubbies take the pipe,AGAIN!

Change a nation status
ezlead replied to a topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mods/Skinning Discussion
Yes,it could be that simple. Change the nation that you want from FRIENDLY to ENEMY. The game engine will read YOUR nations.ini file and not the one in the xxx.cat. It's like sitting at your desk. The game reads everything ON the desk before it looks in the drawers(xxx.cat files). If it finds a file ON the desk it doesn't look for it in the drawer. -
P-61B Black Widow
ezlead replied to Veltro2k's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - File Announcements
Veltro and Wrench: I've flown your P-61 4 missions now and it is a BEAUTY!! I made a couple of little tweaks,but it flys famously. It was worth waiting for. The firepower is Amazing! It is kind of a ground lover(long take-off roll),but other than that it is outstanding. I am adding it to my campaign in the 421st FS. That outfit was Day and Night on Okinawa. -
Nice Shooting!! Congratulations!! Well done,Granddad,for keeping traditions alive!! My Grandfather loved to fish,so we went fishing. He had a cabin in Canada(My Dad's now). Good lake trout and northern pike fishing. I learned to hunt from my Dad. Bird(Pheasant and Quail) hunting mostly. It teaches great responsibility and respect for firearms and other people's property. Anyone who thinks it's easy,just go out and try it. You will spend many backbreaking hours out walking the woods just to come up empty-handed. Thanks for bringing back some GREAT memories.
