WoV Issue
MigBuster replied to rovert97's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
Its not only the amount of SAMs but the amount of sound calls you get to go with it - It can slow down in 1972 over Haiphong/Hanoi quite a lot . Either reduce the graphics settings or reduce the amount of SAM sites in the targets.ini (probably not a 5 min job) IMO -
Strange Problem in WOI post Aug 2008 Patch
MigBuster replied to a topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mods/Skinning Discussion
Does this only happen with that 1 plane? If so I would think it was related to the plane itself other than the game. I havnt seen anything like that yet. -
He is portrayed in the film "We Were Soldiers" - believe the other Huey pilot (Snake) got a belated Medal Of Honour too True exhibition of bravery to keep supply lines to the LZ open and a true hero!

Would recommend Duxford if you can - similar distance from London but north whereas Farnborough is Oxfordshire (north West of London) http://duxford.iwm.org.uk/

like that it gives most visted pages on start up and it has dynamic tabs and an "Incognito" function- it doesnt seem any faster than FF/IE on this PC. I notice that IE8 Beta is now available - dont think I will bother with that just yet - browsers coming out of my ears!

MIG 25 SPEED
MigBuster replied to FLOGGER23's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
In regards to handling abilities I can believe the MiG-25 was much better over 80k - The Iranian F-14s just used to lock an AIM-54 onto Iraqi/Soviet MiG-25s - they then used their high speed to run for it :) -

File Name: The Last Stand File Submitter: MigBuster File Submitted: 02 September 2008 File Category: User Made Campaigns The Last Stand December 14th, 1974. Being almost certain that the US wont intervene anymore, the North Vietnamese Army (NVA) launch a full scale invasion of the Republic of South Vietnam. Defence aid to the South from the US has been drastically reduced and the South Vietnamese economy has all but collapsed. Ammo, spares and fuel are in short supply, and so is the moral of the South Vietnamese people. Your only hope is to hold out long enough to gain renewed US support. The South VNAF currently have the Worlds fourth largest airforce thanks to the "Enhance" and "Enhance Plus" programs from the US......... Historical only in the Aircraft, Units and Air Bases used by the VNAF squadrons. Other than that you will be limited to hitting Targets in Southern NV/South Vietnam/Laos/Cambodia only - You wont be going up North - the VNAF never had the range anyway. Only for Wings Over Vietnam SP4 version v08.30.06 - only tested with the default terrain also - but should be no issues adding trees etc MUST be a new install - none of the stock campaigns will work after you have installed this! Read the instructions - they will tell you which jets to download and where from The gamplay file should give you some hints of how the campaign should be played Only parts of this Mod comes under the CA Freeware licencing - read the Credits file for details Northrop F-5E Tiger II (Mirage Factory ) - CombatAce or www.column5.us Northrop F-5A Freedom Fighter (Mirage Factory) - CombatAce or www.column5.us Douglas A-1HVNAF and A-1JVNAF Skyraiders - Razbam “The Skyraiders Vol 2” for SF.(www.razbam.org) Payware see note below AN-2 Colt (Pasko & Team)- www.column5.us Bell “Armed” UH-1H “Huey” - at CombatAce - you need to get the UH-34 also as below.

You would then need to change the A-1H_loadout.ini. Played and tested loads but as ever there may be some issues to resolve somewhere. Click here to download this file

The dragon carrier missions
MigBuster replied to 11th_AF_Sapper's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
Sorry dont do much in the way of carrier placing so would need to go through the entire thing myself to help - however there must be so many old threads on this - it comes up every other month!. Searching old threads may take a few hours but is actually a lot quicker than waiting a few days for someone who knows to show up. -
MIG 25 SPEED
MigBuster replied to FLOGGER23's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
Is that right? Never seen the F-14A/D quoted with a high alt speed over M2.35 tbh -

Weapon Problem
MigBuster replied to MiG_Slyer's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
1.check you are using the right version of the editor 2.If so Use it to open up the weapondata.ini in "weapons" and see if the AIM-7s are there -
Countermeasures & AI Modern Aircraft
MigBuster replied to Kevin R Brown's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
One easy way may be to wait for the next patch - the chaff/flares seem much less effective in WOI. Your other options are to remove countermeasures from the SU-27 or up the values of the missiles via the weps editor. to remove - open up the su-27_data.ini and find the [chaff dispenser] section (or similar) - set the chaff and flare values to 0 -
A2G Weapons & the AI
MigBuster replied to a topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mission/Campaign Building Discussion
This was actually AI only flights not mine - the weird thing is them ignoring all the waypoints and keep flying to the end of the Map -
no idea - maybe on easy level The rudder has little to no use at the speeds you go at in F4 - useful for landing against a crosswind - or if you are caught very slow in a DF - but thats about it.

A2G Weapons & the AI
MigBuster replied to a topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mission/Campaign Building Discussion
I loaded up my Phantom flights with Paveways with laser designators only in WOV - not only were none of them dropped - every time the entire flight ignored the target waypoint and just kept flying in a straight line till they hit the map edge. So went back to MK82s and no issues not tried this in WOI yet -

for the If its only happening with the F-8 then open the f8.ini and check [AircraftData] AircraftFullName=F-4E Phantom II AircraftDataFile=F-4E_data.ini CockpitDataFile=F-4E_cockpit.ini HangarScreen=F-4E_hangar.bmp <------ LoadoutImage=F-4E_loadout.bmp <------ If not try creating a new pilot and new campaign and see if it works then -
Russian red star on lend-lease planes
MigBuster replied to dsawan's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mods/Skinning Discussion
If the emblems are not part of the skin - then look in the skins decals.ini file. If the entries for where the emblems go says "Insignia" - then you can change the nation of the skin in texture.ini eg [Decal001] MeshName=fuselage_P DecalLevel=0 DecalFacing=RIGHT FilenameFormat=Insignia <-------------------------- Position=-1.203,-0.124 Rotation=0.0 Scale=0.85 DecalMaxLOD=3 -
