Ok Dave.... Convince us.
MigBuster replied to CrazyhorseB34's topic in Digital Combat Simulator Series General Discussion
The P-51s a great challenge - the switchology is very easy because there really isn't much - but flying it is really difficult - and not just engine management - just turning the thing without spin or yaw - if this is an accurate representation it certainly gives you more of an appreciation what pilots had to put up with. The training missions in the campaign where you fly through gates are great laugh - and also a big upside is I can recreate all those fancy moves from the dogfights series. -
What? Did anyone know this? Iranian F-14 shot down by special drones?
MigBuster replied to Boresight's topic in Military and General Aviation
I cant imagine any UFO being able to defeat the new AIM-54 copy they claim to build Among the hardware on display during the annual military parade in Tehran, on Sunday Sept. 22, 2013, Iran not only displayed a new indigenous passive phased array radar system for detecting stealth targets and cruise missiles, but it also showed the country’s latest home-made missile productions, including the Fakour-90. The Fakour-90 missile is one of the latest “state-of-the-art productions” of the Iranian Armed Forces which can be mounted on F-14 fighter jets. It’s almost identical to the AIM-54 Phoenix and, more than a brand new missile, is just a domestically upgraded, partially reverse engineered version of the famous long range missile carried by the U.S. Navy Tomcat. The AIM-54 was developed in the mid-sixties and the IRIAF has operated some of them. Even if we can’t talk of a “new missile”, we can’t but notice that the Iranians managed to keep them in service and, maybe, upgrade them a little bit. What’s even more surprising is that Tehran managed to keep the F-14s airworthy, considered the sanctions on Iran and the consequent lack of spare parts for the Tomcats. The different component is hidden inside the missile’s nose cone and is (probably) a semi-active homing system of the Shalamcheh surface-to-air missile – once again a reverse engineered, improved version of the U.S. MIM-23 Hawk SAM. http://theaviationist.com/2013/09/26/farouk-missile/ -

Back After A VERY Long Time...
MigBuster replied to liamp51's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
You installed the patch and get lower FPS - then suspect the patch has changed something - but then again the patch is for a stock game only so not comeback if it is that. You can lower graphics setting sin game, or try different graphics card settings - but you would need to experiment to see what works - different for every system basically You could try different graphics card drivers WOV and SF2V has generally always had that problem over NV Drive clean up defrag (if not SSD) Make sure AV / FW are in Game mode if applicable Stop background programs not needed etc etc -

Lets put the start button back Microsoft has released the Windows 8.1 update for its flagship operating system. The download seeks to address some of the criticisms levelled at the original version of Windows 8. In particular, the update restores the start button and allows a computer to boot up with a traditional desktop interface. The launch comes at a critical time for Microsoft as it seeks a new boss, with PC sales experiencing a long decline. Windows 8 sought to bridge the gap between touchscreen devices, such as tablets and smartphones, and more traditional form laptops and desktop machines. As such it had an interface built of tiles that could be tapped or swiped to open applications. However, many people found the tiled interface did not work well for some of the things they were used to doing with a computer. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-24564738

Programming and events will span four years, across television, radio and online, from 2014-2018, echoing the time frame of the war itself. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-24552194

F-16 tally of Helicopters, drones and other useless aircraft on the rise: According to Vladimir López Padrino, commander of the Ceofanb, the Comando Estratégico Operational de la Fuerza Armada Nacional Bolivariana (Venezuelan Air Force Strategic Operations Command), who gave the new using his twitter account, on the evening of Saturday Oct. 12 some F-16s belonging to the Aviación Militar Bolivariana Venezolana(Bolivarian National Air Force of Venezuela) shot down two Narcos planes south of Apure, not far from the border with Colombia. Padrino released an image of the remains of one of the intruder aircraft: a sort of admonishment for all those who might believe that flying above the Amazon rainforest at low altitude could be enough to escape interception. http://theaviationist.com/2013/10/14/narcos-shot-down/

Just Bought SF2 NA
MigBuster replied to Barkhorn1x's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
You only need to create other folders if you want to add mods like new terrain tiles, ground objects etc And you create them in the mod folders NOT where you have installed the game to http://combatace.com/topic/62302-what-is-the-mod-folder/ As for the AIM-54A Advise using TWS mode to lock it (See online instructions on F-14 radar use) - then ensure you are actually in range and not going by some fantasy kinetic range figure quoted on Wiki - range depends on altitude, speed and target aspect - so example if the bombers are head on the further out you will be able to fire. -

Poland football fans plan to unveil a flag at the World Cup qualifying match against England commemorating Polish pilots' role in the Battle of Britain. The Polish checkerboard design of the 20m x 20m (65ft x 65ft) flag is the symbol of the Polish Air Force. The RAF's 303 Squadron, formed with Polish aircrew, was Fighter Command's most successful unit in the Battle of Britain. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-24535805 Best of luck for tonight

Right back to sad stories.............. At the beginning of World War II, a government pamphlet led to a massive cull of British pets. This little-discussed moment of panic is explored in a new book. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-24478532

IR AIM-4 constant near misses
MigBuster replied to Sheriff001's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
Yes - the setup on the F-4 was totally inadequate for any kind of close in combat. Data I have shows a >0.90 PK for 2 missiles fired rear aspect against a level subsonic bomber (expect no CM) for the AIM-4D. So yeah it was still **** relatively speaking -

US special forces have carried out a raid on a senior leader of the al-Shabab Islamist group in Somalia, US officials say. The unnamed officials said a US Navy Seals team had targeted the man after approaching a villa in the southern town of Barawe by sea. There are conflicting reports about whether the raid was successful. It was said to have been prompted by last month's deadly attack on the Westgate shopping centre in Kenya. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-24417099

Day and Night missions
MigBuster replied to a topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
Not guaranteed in dynamic campaigns - but in scripted missions you would be able to do that - with a bit of work.
