How to use Matra R 530 ?
MigBuster replied to Luiz Carlos's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
Theres a thread here on it here to http://bbs.thirdwire.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=5336 The IDF/AF defo got 1 kill with it - and they gave the missile a specific name too - will look when I get back. -
Wasnt aware of the "Ford" class - do you think they will start okay in the cold http://www.janes.com/news/defence/naval/jn...80919_1_n.shtml

Nice to have a change of scenery when taking off sometimes on those long campaigns :) -
Are there any Electro-Optical or other type of warning sytems to counter heat seeking missiles?
MigBuster replied to SkyStrike's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mods/Skinning Discussion
You would think that it would be possible to detect and track the heat IR/UV energy given off from a missiles engines. Not sure how far it would go - you would need some kind of range finder or radar to give the distance and altitude of the incoming. Theres a bit about similar systems here: http://typhoon.starstreak.net/Eurofighter/defences.html even has a Laser Warning Receiver! theres no doubt more on the net somewhere too -

Indian Air Force to participate in Exercise Red Flag
MigBuster replied to ghostrider883's topic in Military and General Aviation
Nice info and pics - cheers -
It is a Vista issue which should be sorted with the next patch - in your case it sounds like the install is screwed. Had you changed anything in your original FE install before installing the Expansion Pack? I would say reinistall FE, then Exp1 then the latest Patch - backing up any changes if you want to keep them.

Suicidal Wingmen
MigBuster replied to Jeremiah Weed's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
Theres no doubt been a few million near misses though I bet - my wingy has dropped a bomb on me before but that was my fault for ordering him to attack then diving low on the target meself :whistle2: This shows that setting up a proper coordinated attack with your wingies is not part of the game and can be ignored even by the player - tbh for years I didnt even consider that I should consider where my wingies were before attacking. -

For WOE there are some better environment mods to improve the hopeless terrain: Green Hell 2 if your PC can handle it - get the right tiles to go with though Widesky Mod New runway textures mod Farms and forrests mod There is also a highway runway mod thats pretty relevant if you havnt got that. -

does it work in a single mission? - is it just getting it in the campaign is the issue? -

Mods - this is in the wrong location btw -
Cockpit question
MigBuster replied to MaverickMike's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
You would need to extract all the F-16 cockpit files (bmps etc) and F-16A-Netz_cockpit.ini from object.cat in WOIs object folder Then create a folder called "cockpit" and stick the files in there - then move that cockpit folder into the plane you want to use it with. Then all you have is the avionics issue - you could just extract F-16A_Netz_Avionics from WOI also and use that - you wont get a ground radar though in WOE. Then the last issue is the F-16A pit looks nothing like an F-16C pit. -
WOI Patch help
MigBuster replied to tacoscent's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
If you didnt back it up then you just need to download and reinstall it again -

Dont see anything wrong with your reply tbh - not sure why that red writing appeared unless its meant to be funny. -

MigBuster replied to SkyStrike's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mods/Skinning Discussion
Sensors that detect IR missiles are things only relevent to last 5-8 years (if that) or so AFAIK Adding such a thing to older jets would probably be cheating - so you may as well use external views to check nothing is creeping up on you. Dont fly in a straight line if faced with AA-2 armed Migs for too long - If you have stuck in MANPADS release flares and jink a lot when over defended areas. -
Sounds like you will be enforcing a certain area around a base, checking out possible mortor firing positions, going on aggresive patrols etc - similar to what the RAF regiment do at RAF bases and a lot of them are part timers. Probably better than sitting in a guard tower waiting to be shot at - but still dangerous. But then again is there a safe job in a war zone? Well good luck

If your using LOD Editor 610 as with my FA-18FG then from the top menu go to "Preferences" -> "Use LP Database" and the correct names will be listed down the left hand side.

I noticed the press over here seemed to put him down entirely based on his looks - but were duly gutted when the film turned out to be brilliant - for me its finally got the grit it needed - DC seems to be someone a lot more believable as an assassin.

anyone have WOE smoke files Smoke files
MigBuster replied to krgf15's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
The original files should still be in the cat files - just cut and paste out the altered files you put in and test it. -
maneuverability Problem in Some Air Crafts
MigBuster replied to cora's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
The flight model is defined in the aircrafts data.ini file (e.g. f-16A_Netz_data.ini) - you can change it using Notepad there may be some old threads on here and simHQ describing some of the basic bits if you look.
