Urgent Help please (Asked by a computer noob :D )
MigBuster replied to Zinc's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
What patch level of Strike Fighters 2 are you running? - latest is Nov 2011 Just because Windows 7 is okay and other apps run fine does not mean your Graphics drivers are up to date - do you know what card you have? click on the start button , type dxdiag.exe in the search programs and files box, let the program start and run then save the output to your desktop using the Save all information button , open the file you saved with notepad then copy + Paste the output here. -

Upgraded for Strike Fighters 2 - Basic CCIP for A-6A to simulate a DIANE level bombing system. New: Yes we can now add the CCIP and keep the original A_6 radar modes! When you reach the target ripple your iron bombs! Tested in Strike Fighters 2 Vietnam Version June 2009 only (using the A-6A cockpit from Wings Over Vietnam). For use in later versions compare any changes made in newer ini files first. Released under CombatAce Fair-Use terms.

creating era specific and multi game installs
MigBuster replied to Tony_Spike's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
1 - WOE and WOV could be merged - but its only those 2 that can be merged in the SF1 series. You dont have SF2 by mistake (you would know because the SF2 Games are very different now) 2. No - The very last patches (2008) for these old games fixed a few things so they will work with Vista/7 3. Yes a lot of the cat files from WOE did contain files from WOV - and yes you could use them with the right tweaks - cant remember though whether you could use the carriers - think you should be able to. As to how they differ internally pass - there are a few differences - the Knowledgebase or old thread might help there. For a separate mod install in SF1 make a copy of one of the games entire folder and file structure - then rename the exe file in the copy and use that. 4. anything here: http://combatace.com/forum/247-thirdwire-prop-heads/ http://combatace.com/forum/288-thirdwire-prop-heads-sf2/ -

Struggling in US, F-35 fighter pushes sales abroad
MigBuster replied to MAKO69's topic in Military and General Aviation
:lol: :lol: Judging by that article which even quotes Carlo ***p as a source - I'm just impressed they managed to put a photo of an F-35 on there - tbh not sure they would recognize the difference between the F-35 and the Space Shuttle! Well better scrap the F-16s as well then quickly! -
Can't keep high-vis skin out of flightline
MigBuster replied to arthur666's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
The default skin for a jet in single missions was always no 1 in the f-18e/f.ini for example [TextureSet001] Directory=USAFGrey1 Name=USAF Grey Nation=USAF StartDefaultDate=1 <-----------also check Specular=0.400000 Glossiness=0.400000 Reflection=0.200000 DecalNumberRandomize=TRUE DecalNumberEnd=199 In a campaign the skin should be defined for each squadron in the campaign_data.ini [AirUnit001] AircraftType=F-15A Squadron=7TFS ForceID=1 Nation=USAF DefaultTexture=USAFGrey1 <---------------- BaseArea=Spangdahlem Airbase -
So, Iranian Tomcats can fly after all

RIP to the brave crew - those F-14s should be in a museum! -

Well it's official

There is a solo A-6 mission in YAP1 that gets you landing on a pitching moving deck I seem to remember. -
Many Happy Returns :drinks:

Twilight of the War Horse
MigBuster replied to Capitaine Vengeur's topic in WOFF UE/PE - General Discussion
Its beyond belief they were still charging down machine guns with horses in 1918! - utter suicide! -
One film I actually want to see! - no UK release date I can find yet
-
Over here they are doing an unlimited card that we have - £14:99 per month - but you can see any film any time and as many as you like. Sometimes we spent over £20 just seeing 1 3D film so its pretty good value if you go twice a month....the only problem you get is finding something worth watching! - but yeah not sure I would have bothered with this otherwise - cinema is way too expensive IMO

Bet the pilots a skier!

Anybody noticed?
MigBuster replied to macelena's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
Got it listed as being implemented in July 2010 -
Great you can reenact the P-51 and A-10C flypast and relive those classic airshow moments

SF2I (KFIR C2) 2 x Tanks, 4 x bombs, 2 x Sidewinders: Going from 2,000ft (about M0.8) to 10,000ft (3000m) it seems stable Going from 10,000ft (about M0.9) to 20,000ft (6000m) its as you described - When coming out of the turn use rudder or joystick to compensate - basically with all those bombs and in the thinner air it will not be stable. Trying the same without stores - it seems pretty stable to 6000m
-
Is that the stock Kfir you are using? How high are you going up? What is your speed when you roll out at the top?

First Production Model F-35B Delivered
MigBuster replied to starfighter2's topic in Military and General Aviation
The daggers have been out from the start - the amount of **** written in the press has been beyond belief - the analysis was basically - hmmm doesn't look as good as the F-22 so must be useless -
First Production Model F-35B Delivered
MigBuster replied to starfighter2's topic in Military and General Aviation
Sorry what?? F-16C: (F-16.net) Dimensions: wingspan 31 feet 0 inches, length 49 feet 4 inches, height 16.6 feet, wing area 300 square feet. Weights: 18,238 pounds empty, 26,463 pounds normal loaded (air-to-air mission), 42,300 pounds maximum takeoff. Internal Fuel: 7,160lb F-35A: (LM Figures) Dimensions: wingspan 35 feet 0 inches, length 51 feet 4 inches, height 14.2 feet, wing area 460 square feet. Weights: 29,300 pounds empty, 70,000 pounds max. Internal Fuel: 18,000lb Its body is far larger than the F-16 which is why it can carry far more internal fuel and avionics and fit a weapons bay - the B even has a gap to fit a lift fan! Against 5th Gen a/c and advanced IADS the MiG-21 is a flying clay pigeon even with advanced missiles and radar - It needs a major airframe design to fit the avionics and range it really needs - and also RCS reductions to stand any chance whatsoever - it is proof that you can only go so far with an airframe. Against the Taliban though its fine Im sure - but so's a Super Tucano to some aspect. If stealth is required it wont be going in with external stores period Sorry by who? - actual RCS figures are not in the public domain for any of these birds - but everything points to the F-35 being in a different league compared to the SH and F-15SE which seem like desperate attempts to reduce the RCS on legacy designs. Well its down to tactics - might include stealthy UAVs and F-22s if such environment were encountered - This article is interesting reading - heres a bit from F-16 pilot Chris Shephard: Chris Sheppard: The legacy fourth-generation fighters, which we speak of being F-15s, F-16s, F-18s, have become more stealthy over time with each subsequent block upgrade as they have taken on some low observable treatments to help achieve a little more stealthiness. It’s really the advanced avionics upgrades that have always been a cornerstone of the new Blocks. Also, by leveraging global positioning systems (GPS) and laser-guide technologies, these aircraft become more effective and precise kinetically armed assets, especially with the evolution of advanced precision-guided weapons. But there are inherent limits to upgradeability of the legacy aircraft. The fifth-generation aircraft, the F-22 and F-35, are built from the ground up with many advanced capabilities in mind that can’t be attained from adding on or strapping on pods, et cetera, to ‘fourth-generation’ aircraft. Fifth-generation aircraft are designed from the ground up with very low observable stealth. This is very important from a threat perspective in the advent of already-fielded and future radar, avionics, and weapons. There’s also integrated sensor fusion, where primary sensors – like the APG-81 in the case of the F-35 – are highly integrated with the Electronic Warfare system or the electro-optical Distributed Aperture System (DAS). Sensor fusion is the kind of visceral capability that can’t simply be added to legacy aircraft or retrofitted on later. Sensors and accompanying software must be part of the design architecture from the get-go for fusion-compatible applications. There are other aspects as well — net enabled operations, the ability to gather information and then share the information with users who need the data real time. As I mentioned before, the F-16 was developed in the late 70’s with countries in the European Participating Air Forces (EPAF). Similarly the F-35 is being developed with eight partner nations, and in the United States with three services, the Air Force, the Navy and the Marine Corps. In addition, we have security cooperation partners who participate in the Program, with prospective foreign military sales; other countries are already inquiring about the aircraft. All of these partners will help the coalition with basing options, and the overall team capabilities will be significant. The fleet will have range and persistence, and as I mentioned earlier, the sensors; and the ability to share the information as a team versus having systems that don’t communicate or aren’t designed from inception to communicate with each other. While the F-16 has gained impressive capabilities with each subsequent Block upgrade, the one core difference with the F-35 is the bottom up approach for integrating capabilities. This includes stealth. Integration is a central idea from the beginning. The F-35 brings all partner nations into a unified advanced warfighting and interoperability standard in one giant leap.
