What are you supposed to do with 30MT bomb
MigBuster replied to PIGHUNTA69's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
Well nobody wins using Nukes - Leave the nuke at base and take some Mk84s instead -
There must be some rich people to spend all that money restoring a Vulcan - and then actually fly it! http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/7350939.stm

What ca cause..
MigBuster replied to Canadair's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
Its almost certainly a mod - trace your steps back if you can. Is it possible you may have added back a modded ini file that originated from an earlier game version to the one you have it patched to? -
What ca cause..
MigBuster replied to Canadair's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
Something could be missing - have had crashes there before when the jet I was using had a nation that wasnt in Nations.ini Determine if this happens more with the jet and mission type selected Does it give any errors? -

Flying F-4Es from the most powerful nation on the planet
MigBuster replied to MigBuster's topic in Military and General Aviation
Superbug is slower - but should have a better range, new airframe and a much lower RCS. In an A-A role ive seen pics with them carrying 10 x AMRAAMs + 2 AIM9s - so if you can afford it. The lower RCS should make it more survivable against SAMs etc. Luckily I expect its going to be a while till any Superhornet users come face to face with any 5th Gen jets anyway - unless Aus declares war on the US for not watching Neighbours - or something -

Put on the spin he'll fly right by? -
Flying F-4Es from the most powerful nation on the planet
MigBuster replied to MigBuster's topic in Military and General Aviation
Well if thats all a country has due to embargoes placed on it etc then why not! The suggestion I made about the F-4 was practically done with the F-4F ICE bar the radar - The point you are missing is the avionics and weapons that are the defining factor now - and Iran may still be able to make something very good out of an old thing. -
Newb needs help
MigBuster replied to jbryant's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mission/Campaign Building Discussion
Dont have any experience of the TE myself - you could try PM'ing some of the terrain authors. or searching for old threads on the subject. -
Flying F-4Es from the most powerful nation on the planet
MigBuster replied to MigBuster's topic in Military and General Aviation
In theory an F-4 with some AIM-120s/R-77s and an AESA type radar would be a lethal opponent - in BVR you need all the kenetic energy you can get and the F-4 certainly can compete on that front. The main (only) disadvantage the F-4 has is its RCS signature and its agility in a "guns only" fight. A HMS should negate a lot of its disadvantage if using an AIM-9x/Python 5 etc for example. Also the age of its airframe could be a factor now in regards to high G turning etc Should add that any stealth fighter flown with proper tactics should take it out - on the basis that the F-4 wont see it. -
Very interesting documentary on the sinking of HMS Coventry (Type 42 Destroyer tasked with Air defence) recommended

How to edit waypoints- help please
MigBuster replied to Fortiesboy's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mission/Campaign Building Discussion
You can move some of the waypoints - if I am planning to jump to a point I check the altitude then use the map contours to guess where a low level spot may be - then I move the IP waypoint there. -

Will third wire ever make a navy specific game?
MigBuster replied to krgf15's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
You could shove in some navy jets and add a carrier etc to WOE if you like. Then just fly navy all the time sorted! Or you could get Wings Over Vietnam - plenty of Navy jets and carriers to fly off in that. Its nice to have choice also -
Chaff and Flares
MigBuster replied to Viper6's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
Am happy to put some up for the SP5 stock jets - havnt quite got round to modding any of these yet so may be a while. For the F-4s I always separate the forward Sparrow bays also - so that ECM pods can be added along with the AIM 7s. -

Dont be put off - Ive given most of my post 1970 Jets Chaff/Flares and the games fine Just try 1 at first and see how it goes - you can always just remove the data.ini file if you dont like it. -

Patches
MigBuster replied to cgold's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
Deleting the games installer file is no different to you buying it on CD then throwing away the CD. No body should be deleting them - thats the game you have paid for - burn it to CD at the very least so its safe in case you need to reinstall. -
Cannot patch digital downloaded version of Falcon Allied Force
MigBuster replied to The Crunge's topic in Falcon 4 Series
For reference only - From: http://forums.frugalsworld.com/vbb/showpos...mp;postcount=14 "you can not use the patches on our site with D3D version. they have seperate D2D patch versions and there at 1.12 AFAIK. Anyone with D2d patched to 1.12 I can PM me if you want 1.13 (to be able to use 1.12-1.13 patch on our site). Note you need to use only D2D patches on a D2d DL version." Ed (Lead Pursuit) -
Yeah Frame Rates - says it all really. Theres also a LOT of ground to cover in flight sims - Take WOV - so thatll be Thailand,Cambodia,Laos, Vietnam and a bit of china to map out then!. Most of your time is spent up in the air so any detail will be put around places where are more likely to see it (ie airbases) - and on the actual planes themselves. Most people dont care about the ground so its unlikely that a small developer (ie just about about all sims devs these days) has time to waste adding eye candy to it.

I noticed it listed in the command section as "Bail Out" - was thinking whether any WW1 pilots had this option - I suspect not Guess you can put it to be unassigned - then you wont get the urge to cheat :)
