Russian Carrier Aircraft Crash VID
SayethWhaaaa replied to Hawk MMS's topic in Military and General Aviation
I've posted that same video here before. The arresting cable broke... ...or it was a clever form on insurance fraud! -
First Short Takeoff/Vertical Landing Stealth Fighter Unveiled At Lockheed Martin
SayethWhaaaa replied to Silverbolt's topic in Military and General Aviation
That's the problem we had with the previous government. They were going hell for leather in trying to put into place policy and directives that would see all of our Hornets and F-111s replaced with a single airframe simply because it would shave off several billion in 15-18 years. When I worked at ASPI, we had a sh*t of a time trying to convince them that this would also shave of a lot of capability and increase the risk of design/engineering flaws potentially grounding the entire fleet and potentially the RAAF's offensive capability. Hopefully the new government will grasp the two tiered force structure concept, although in the past, neither the coalition nor the ALP have been too bright concerning defense matters... -
All soldiers in the IDF got the "2nd Lebanon War" insignia
SayethWhaaaa replied to Nesher's topic in Military and General Aviation
I've been to three funerals of my partner's (partner at the time, she's since moved back to Kesrwan) family, 2 of her cousins 7 and 9 respectively and her sister, 22, all of whom died are victims of cluster bomb munitions. Her sister died in Tyre during the conflict while trying to escape with some members of her family. The children died almost 3 weeks after the cessation of hostilities after accidentally coming into contact with unexploded munitions. The fact that people still don't take seriously or attempt to undermine the effect of these weapons on civilians is what sickens me! I'll leave my personal politics outta this because it's not the place for it. Either way Nesh. You've served your country, earned the respect of your countrymen and deserve not to be damned for it! Massive respect to you for that! I hope to do the same when serving for mine soon. Here's hoping we'll not have to go to any more funerals in the near future!! -

What about modern fighters?

Amen brother... The Search button has all the makings of being one's best friend when new if only because it can answer 90% of your questions straight away. -
Meh... I think they're a little overated. jk For me, the saddest part is that, Iran notwithstanding, it's a real shame that no one else bought them, or considered using them...

Newbie needs help!
SayethWhaaaa replied to ndicki's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
I'm getting this exact same problem with several games (some older, some newer) now with my new system... but not with SFG so far.... I'd be interested to see what the word is... -
First Short Takeoff/Vertical Landing Stealth Fighter Unveiled At Lockheed Martin
SayethWhaaaa replied to Silverbolt's topic in Military and General Aviation
The MoD here is still umming and ah-ing about whether or not to purchase 8-12 STOVL variants for the new Canberra class flattops we'll be building. I personally hope so. Not replacing the HMAS Melbourne and losing the capability of an LHD/CV is the biggest mistake the MoD/RAN have made in the last 25 years. Although, getting suckered into buying the Seasprite was pretty suspect too... -
Do you still lose the favourites like in the first two patches?

...kinda hard to dissassemble ICBMs safely and securely when you have had to pay a large portion of your regular workers with toilet paper and other commodities in the past. When food was scarce and the ecconomy close to collapsing and your leader looking batsh*t crazy (Yeltsin)... taking care of your nukes became less of a priority.

Some thing about J-7/F-7s
SayethWhaaaa replied to Erwin_Hans's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
:off_topic: :off_topic: Seriously dude, are you high? IAI had a hand in helping the development of the J-10 with massive ammounts of data accrued from the Lavi program (specifically the data was aerodynamic models of canard delta configurations and some FBW related materials and some other stuff) but there's no question it's Chinese and at least a generation (maybe slightly more) more advanced. The J-10 is the Lavi as much as the Ching Kuo is an F/A-18. Now... that said, back on topic. There was a pack of JF-7s that had at least 8 or 9 skins representing a host of PLAAF TFSqns, but it looks as though it's no longer here. It was a bit buggy and occassionally textures would move (somehow) creating some problems. I'll look into what happened with it. -
It's based on the "New Tech Mod" V.3 but with a lot of customisation with regards to the behaviour of the Units, their capabilities and increased availability for some units. It required the 1.02 patch initially, but works perfectly fine with 1.04 as I'd been using it on my old system for close to a year. But since I've bought this new system, I get nada...

Your Favorite Real Aircraft and Why?

How can anyone pass the KT-40/A-40? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flying_tank http://aeroweb.lucia.it/rap/RAFAQ/KT-40.html ...Forget that F-22 bucket o' bolts/P.O.S. Mark my words, this is the future! -
It's a laser beam bozo...
SayethWhaaaa posted a topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mods/Skinning Discussion
I think I've figured it out. I got one working, that is to say, looking like a lazy beam. Still have bugs and editing to figure out. I'll post some screenies when I finish stoopid work today! :yes: -

SayethWhaaaa replied to SayethWhaaaa's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mods/Skinning Discussion
My thoughts exactly but when I did, it reverted back to your standard tracer fire. That's the direction that I think makes the most sense to me. I'm still playing around with it... -
Best way to deploy Cluster Munitions
SayethWhaaaa replied to Tantobot's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
I'd say ask the Israeli Air Force... ...and then do the opposite of what they tell you. :yes: -

Here's what I'm currently using, it's not too dissimilar to your's Wrench. [GunData145] TypeName=ChemLaser FullName=ChemLaser Caliber=23.000000 ROF=3100.000000 MuzzleVel=1800.000000 AmmoWt=0.120000 WarheadWt=0.034000 Reliability=100.000000 Accuracy=100.000000 AddLight=TRUE MaxLightRange=1500.000000 FireColor=0.500000,0.100000,0.100000 GunFireEffect=23mmFireEffect GunFireSound=Vulcan EffectClassName=23mmEffects EffectTime=0.700000 TracerTexture=Tracer.tga TracerSize=0.450000 TracerDistFactor=0.002000 TracerLength=6.000000 MaxVisibleDist=1000.000000 MaxStreakVisibleDist=800.000000 TimeFuzed=FALSE This is where I'm getting stuck: I can't seem to reduce the length of the tail, only the duration of the tracer flash meaning that either each round fired flashes a beam or has a sustained beam effect. If I could shorten the tracer tail at the rear, without affecting the beam in front of the aircraft, that would pretty much be it... -
Definitely not the inis... well, I don't think it should be. In the past, I used to get a critical error saying something along the lines of "ZH has encountered a serious error, yadda yadda yadda re-install, yadda yadda yadda, EA sucks, yadda yadda yadda tip your waiters. So I'd just replace the altered inis with the previous version that worked (either the originals or the modded ones) and it would work fine after that. No, what seems to be happening here is that I install, patch to 1.03/1.04 or whatever the current patch is (this mod will work with both) and then try to run it before adding the mod. And everytime, even after restarts, just after the blue Generals:ZH logo but before the blue EA logo, it freezes and dies...

Brainless Question No.10
SayethWhaaaa replied to Brainless's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mods/Skinning Discussion
Until it looks and feels right. I've got a bud (not much of a bud since he won't make me any planes for this, no matter how many rounds I buy... pr**k ) who would probably take a few days to build the model from scratch since he uses 3dsm on a daily basis as part of his job. But then again, most people don't have 8+ hours a day to flesh out a model... ...and he's still got a 3d model of a crater he's been working on since August that he "just can't get right".
