Terrain editor
eraser_tr replied to gillg's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mods/Skinning Discussion
So I went back to trying to use the terrain editor. WTF its not importing my DEM data. I pick the Latitude/Longitude it reads the file, then the file select box pops up again looking for a different lat/long. Closing that, the first data doesn't exist(after checking view->heightfield) -
Flying non Flyable aircrafts
eraser_tr replied to ice_550's topic in Digital Combat Simulator Series Modding/Skinning Chat
http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?autom...p;showfile=3002 Try this mod. Worked for me, I could fly all planes without losing any of the original ones. Wish the american planes used american cockpits, but better than having to replace stuff. -
DAMAGE!

You're not using the new nuke effect? -
Mig-21
eraser_tr replied to gerald14's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
one problem: the modern mig with HUD can't have ground radar at the same time. Unless you've somehow managed to do what moonjumper couldn't. -
I had been thinking about a Berlin blockade inspired conflict as well. Among a number of others. I've been tossing around the idea of a Janes USNF/ATF homage/remake in the SF engine and started modeling a few objects, but I've had no luck finding active help, permission to use stuff, easily. Over half of what's needed is available already. The campaigns would be Ukraine, 1997. A military coup overthrows Yeltsin and wants to reclaim Crimean penninsula from Ukraine as the crimean itself wants to become an independant state. Kuril Islands, 1997. Conflict with russia spills over to the kuril islands. the USMC captures several islands from the russians to gain japan's support Egypt, 1998. Islamic radicals start a civil war in Egypt. Russia/China, 2002. China wants to reclaim Vladivostok/ Primorsk region from the Russian Federation. Baltics, 2008. Hardliners take over Russian government and try to reform Soviet Union

Terrain editor

So you want to flatten whats in the DEM data? Go out to the spot you want to be flat with a shovel, flatten it, then ask the USGS or NASA to get new DEM data I tried out the terrain editor a while ago, and there apparently wasn't a way to directly shape the terrain. It looked like it was limited to purely what was in the DEM or heightmap. I would have continued with it if it wasn't for the areas I wanted to make wind up being split into more than 1 DEM file and have no idea what to do about that. -
Do you even know who chuck norris is?

is this supposed to be exclusive too? the link doesn't work -
OTC: Change in Available Ammo
eraser_tr replied to TeTeT's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
usually it changes with the plane. Or the service dates of the ordinance passed and was replaced by new bombs? -
But the F-22s were on the blue side? do you mean the eagles didn't want to play with the typhoons?

Ah, if only they'd used the raptors as aggressors. Not only would they have better paint schemes, they would've had a chance to fly her against some of the better foreign fighters to see how she'll really fare against another AF instead of just the F-16 and F-18 aggressors we can fly them against any time we like ( are they at least still using the superkitty as a simulated flanker aggressor, or have they retired her from that too?)

Don't be so quick to assume about demographics. When I was a kid I liked strategy....actually a little too much. I always came up with elaborate strategies in games, and a friend of mine would just take the direct approach going for action and come out on top every time. The most thoughtful and prepared base defence in an RTS was just nullified in minutes by a hundred-tank assault waves. Fell out of flight sims for a while, didn't like the selection of games that were out. Then started getting back into them at about 17, now I'm 21, in college and still fly sims often. Sure, I go out alot, but I need my games to unwind from all the stress of the work. And I also happen to have a 59 year old father who refuses to play anything but straight shooters. nothing in which you "have to do all this other s**t" like sneak around, talk, pick locks, hack into computers etc. So stubborn about it that he's complaining about running out of games to play, but refuses to broaden his horizons. I'm trying to get him to try flight sims, SFP1 is fairly simple, but its like pulling teeth.

Worse, they'll have two designations. One will be a variant of the original like Su-27SK and then give it a new number designation as well. The Su-37 may be the most advanced derivative, but it is beneath it all, still an Su-27. Just a variant letter would suffice, we didn't give the eagle a brand new designation when we made the ground attack variant(F-15E) But then again if you look at airwar.ru and all the variants they have of russian planes, it kind of makes sense. There are so many its hard to keep track of. Why did sukhoi skip Su-26, 29, 31, 31 and 36? a russian f-19 case? What has been other AF's reaction to the raptor? and what were they flying against it?

Build it yourself, I went from what had become an average gaming PC to what would be a $4,000 beast had I not carefully bought the parts that mattered to upgrade for $600. $900 counting the video card which was a gift, still far cheaper.

Bombers VS Fighters
eraser_tr replied to Lt. James Cater's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
Again, my thud experience is unusual. Migs weren't that big of a deal, probably because of the engine. -
Bombers VS Fighters
eraser_tr replied to Lt. James Cater's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
Thats odd, flying the F-105 in WOE I wind up with tons of CAP and escort missions. I guess I'm the only one here for fighters then. Fighters can bomb strategic targets, provide close air support and recon and shoot down other aircraft whether its a CAP, interception, escort or on any of the A2G missions. Most bombers are exclusively for ground attack with very little ability to shoot down another aircraft. -

SLI videocards would have absolutely no relevance to fuel tanks in a game... -
Wings Over Europe

One was released in the US, the other in Europe. Only the title is different for marketing purposes, they're the exact same game. -

F-35A
eraser_tr replied to serverandenforcer's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mods/Skinning Discussion
The engine wouldn't support it. You could fake it a little bit by giving the field for the hud really large boundaries to mimick the hud being right in front of your face, but it wouldn't move where you look. And it would be annoying to go over all the other avionics. -
A Gift
eraser_tr replied to gerald14's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
Hrm, I think those planes are fictional aside from the shinden and Do-335 (3rd link) the zwilling Me-262 says they are fantasy planes. But I was making a point that there were few planes that used canards, fewer that entered service before the current generation of designs came around and they became popular. -
Wow, I remember those games. Hours of fun and frustration. I never got XWA because I was rather disapointed by XvT, but looking into it now, it looks more like the xwing and tie fighter that I loved...the graphics could be better now, but they're servicable One thing I've had my eye on recently is this star wars mod for a recent space sim "starshatter: the gathering storm" The game itself looks decent, a very modable independantly developed game. It's supposed to have a good dynamic campaign system and being able to go from space to planets/systems. With a star wars TC and more star wars ships than I knew existed, it fits my craving for a fly everything space combat game with modern graphics. I haven't bought it yet, but as soon as that mod is done, I certainly am.

JAS 39C Gripen Progress
eraser_tr replied to Gux's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mods/Skinning Discussion
Well I can wait for a grippen as long as its not abandoned, I'm just concerned he hasn't been to CA in a month without any notice. In a community centered around modding, that usually means they're gone for good(or for bad to be correct). -

How would locking a topic get someone to show up? Do they send out an automated email or something? (IDK I've never done something stupid to lock a topic here)
