Bombs
MigBuster replied to Fred_300's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
Paveways - your jet must take a laser targetting pod if it doesnt have an internal one. Get to the target, press E to target, then fire Make sure the bomb has enough energy to get to the target. Unguided bombs - see here: http://www.simhq.com/_air/air_055a.html -

F-16 IAF NETZ of WOI
MigBuster replied to a topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mods/Skinning Discussion
WOE has no F-16 files in it - so to move over the stock Netz you need to extract all 114 files and the decal files - they all need to go into Aircraft\F-16ANetz and Aircraft\F-16ANetz\cockpit For your additional info - it sounds like you were using AIM-7s at low level and incorrectly - either that or you dont understand that a radar lock can only be used with AIM-7/AIM-120 types - NOT AIM-9s -

B-57G Tropic Moon III
MigBuster posted a topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - File Announcements
File Name: B-57G Tropic Moon III File Submitter: MigBuster File Submitted: 13 July 2009 File Category: B-57 Canberra B-57G for "Strike Fighters 2: Vietnam" by Ahmed Junaid Raza New Avionics and TV by MiGBuster USAF2 Tropic Moon skin by MiGBuster READ the instructions - includes how to use the TV/FLIR etc 16 B-57Bs were converted to B-57G standard and used in Vietnam from 1970 to 1972 flying from Tailand for the Tropic Moon III project, and was a pioneer in laser guided technology. The B-57G had built in sensors such as a low light TV system, FLIR, and a laser giudance system. This enabled it to carry 4 x 500lb Laser guided bombs and self designate targets for them. The 20mm wing cannons were deleted due to the weight of the LGBs. 4 bombs were also carried in the bomb bay (unconfirmed). Its mission was to hunt trucks over the notorious Ho Chi Minh Trail.

SF2I mods
MigBuster replied to ziker's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
1. The Huddata.ini must go in the correct folder for it to work - for the location of that see step 1 on here.http://forum.combatace.com/topic/44026-converting-older-planes-to-work-in-sf2-a-basic-guide-by-migbuster/ 2. NO NO NO to importing old ini files over - you are basically overwriting the new one. Really you should extract the new HUDDATA.ini from SF2I and make the relevant changes to that. -

Strike Fighters 2: Israel RELEASE
MigBuster replied to Crusader's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
So much for the add on terrains even my payware one doesn't work - managed to induce a few grey tiles by putting some files to uppercase. Is this something to do with how the TOD files have been saved? looks like some might have different names now also. Until sorted - I would advise that if you like your terrains keep your merged SF2/SF2V/SF2E at Jun09 and install SF2I (Oct09) separately - if not - hey the runway mod still works! -

SF2 Europe/Israel: flyable MiG-21PF/PFM
MigBuster replied to Coupi's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mods/Skinning Discussion
Its probably trying to use a texture thats in one of the first gen games and has been taken out of the second gen games so the pit cant find it. Someone with that pit and a lod editor may be able to find the texture name so you can add one in. -

Cool - we might get green ICBMs - just think how much better for the planet that will be Silverbolt - true to most current green transport - I would rather gouge out my eyes than look at that plane!!

RWR Texture in place of Radar !
MigBuster replied to joes_shop's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
Someone posted a similar problem at 3rd Wires site so maybe worth checking there - although looking above it looks like you have totally screwed up the install - how do you have the SF 2 Vietnam folder in the First Eagles Folder? Firstly the only 2 games you have that can be merged are WOV and WOE - although my advice is don't bother. Uninstall the whole lot, remove the folders manually - then when you reinstall each game must go to a different location. It Doesnt matter what order you install them in without merging WOV and WOE - but you should end up with something like: Program Files / Thirdwire / First Eagles / Program Files / Thirdwire / SF2 Vietnam / Program Files / Wings Over Europe / Program Files / Wings Over Vietnam / -
Cool - thanks for that info - very useful

Harriers and hovering?
MigBuster replied to xclusiv8's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
LOL Its not that bad - FCs a jet pilot so tends to know a fair bit about these things. I think 331Killerbee worked on the Harriers for years - and from what I remember, one reason they don't take off Vertically with much of a load is also because of the amount of water required according to him. Also warmer climates mean less engine thrust - for example - in the Falklands the temperature may have been cold enough to allow for max engine performance. -
Exporting WoI aircraft to Woe/WoV
MigBuster replied to Nixou's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
I assume you have WOV and WOE at the latest patched version (Oct 08 I think)- if not the newer avionics in WOI wont work in WOV/WOE!! Firstly use the newer catpack extractor which will extract everything from a cat file. You can then just copy over the bits you need. http://forum.combatace.com/topic/44027-extracting-files-from-sf2-series-cat-files-by-migbuster/ The bmp/tga files for the cockpit and avionics go in a "Cockpit" folder within the jets folder. however the cockpit.ini /avionics.ini file will sit in the main jets folder.
