AH-1F Cobra Weapons Challenge
Saavedra replied to Geary's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
I am looking forward to Yakarov´s work too. I´ve already seen other people offer Cobras, but either they want you to pay too much for them, or they want you to go through silly loops. -

Good Times in SF2
Saavedra replied to Dave's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
I can say that when I first found Combatace, what immediately drew me toward the downloads section was the full campaigns, such as Operation Desert Storm and Operation Darius. For two reasons: 1- The campaigns normally include lots of planes and missions tailored to them, so there is variety in play. And if you can be bothered with learning some file editing, you can add whatever planes the campaign doesn´t include. So these whole campaign packages are a fairly user-friendly way to get into the modding scene, a comfortable stepping stone toward more content. 2- Because they are put up as a whole package, you can normally expect everything within to work as it should, which is the main worry of anyone that´s already been working with mods for some time. Despite the huge file sizes, I find campaigns simply the best, most straightforward way to get modding content for the game. I can´t speak for every single other player out there, but since it was mentioned that the content is so fragmented... perhaps putting together campaign packages would help create some community impact. Also, more choppers, please! -
Problem with gbu bomb..
Saavedra replied to matanbar123's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
I wanted to ask, and since this is relevant... how, exactly, do you perform SEAD with HARMs? I play the Operation Darius mod and SEAD missions are some of my favourite to play, but launching the HARM towards the emitter does nothing (the missile does not auto-lock to the radar). The only thing I have found works 100% of the time is targeting the radars visually, but if that was the way to kill them I wouldn´t bother taking HARMs in the first place when I can take other missiles that are more plentiful. And you said you cannot designate ground targets with radar, so... I am aware that Operation Darius may use a different HARM mechanic to the original game and the other mods, but still... I would appreciate any help with this. -
Any Recommended addons for SF2
Saavedra replied to 5ingers's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
If you want full campaigns, Operation Desert Storm and Operation Darius are pretty damn nice. ODS obviously is about the Gulf War, while Operation Darius is a fictional war set in 2012 between a coalition and Iran. Before you decide to go for Operation Darius thinking that you will get the most modern planes (up to the F-35 and F-22), be aware Iran also gets J-10s and the S-300 SAM system, which will ruin your face pretty quickly. Also, be aware that full campaign mods require several downloads of noticeable weight. There is also a Vietnam War campaign chock-full with content. Can´t go wrong with that one, though the B-52s flying around may slow your PC down, so be on the lookout for the instructions to circumvent this problem (included in the readme). -
WOV Air & Ground War Expansion Pack Gold - Jan 2012 Update
Saavedra commented on eburger68's file in User Made Campaigns
The whole pack (three parts and two patches, as far as I´m aware) are just awesome. There is one thing (one little thing) that bothers me, though, and it is that the door-gunners on the UH-1D won´t open fire on the enemy. Is there any way of fixing this? Can it actually be fixed? I don´t know if I can edit the data.ini or if it is an AI problem or what.
