WoE "modern" Custom Campaign w/carriers?
MigBuster replied to iam73's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
Yes - If you put a campaign in, it will replace or add a lot of files. Put another campaign on top of that and again will replace/add files and screw up the first campaign (and other things). Assuming you only have 1 install: 1. make a copy (dont cut/move it) of your entire current game folder (ie a backup of the entire game) 2. then uninstall your game from add/remove progs 3. Install the game again 4. Put the patches on 5. Make a copy of the entire game folder for the new campaign 6. Dont touch the original install again (use it to make new copies) You should now have 3 installs example c:\.....\Wings Over Vietnam c:\.....\Wings Over Vietnam_Campaign c:\.....\Wings Over Vietnam_Backup You can still play your original game that you backed up - by running it from the exe file in its folder hope that makes sense - it looks difficult - although if you dont try it you wont learn much Another reason to use a copy of the game is that if you screw it up you can just make a new copy ond remove the old one without having to install everything from disk each time!. Well im sure there will be something there soon - problem is - how you intall one is dependent on the campaign! Adding a campaign - well the readme should tell you what to do. Be careful - I saw a campaign last week (original Burning Sands 1983) that had a load of files (dlls) from the version of the game when the mod was created - so copying them over to a game patched to SP4 would mean the game crashed. Basically you needed certain parts of the original - and then all of the parts from the BS1983 update for SP4 (nightmare!) -
UK Changes JSF ASRAAM Configuration

Ahh we dont need stealth - just buy a stealth plane and make sure its not stealthy - sounds good. Cant wait till we stick in a more powerful engine that reduces the top end to M0.8 -
Colombia buys 24 Israeli jet fighters
MigBuster replied to BUFF's topic in Military and General Aviation
Early next year! that may be too late - and I suspect the new FAV SU-30s still have the upper hand anyway. -
Linux
MigBuster replied to Rover's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
Havnt tried it - though its not supported - you could see if there are any emulation programs that run on linux out there that can. -
WoE "modern" Custom Campaign w/carriers?
MigBuster replied to iam73's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
IMO keep your games separate if you can + if you install a campaign you should be putting it into a separate/new install again. (see the knowledge base) theres user made campaigns/ missions here http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?autoc...&showcat=29 Theres Vietnam 1984 for WOV which may be of interest http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?autoc...p;showfile=5289 but there are others. -
Well I would buy more F-22s - that plane is the USAs main fighting edge. Its alright saying get loads of F-35s but a lot of countries around the world will have that soon. They need a new marketing slogan - how about the "Super Raptor"

Frequent crashes cast doubt on Russian made Kazakh AF jets
MigBuster replied to BUFF's topic in Military and General Aviation
Planes get old and start crashing - everyone seems to be in the same boat dont they. How frequent Russian planes really crashing is something we probably wont find out - but a lot are going down everywhere it seems regardless! Perhaps someone will design an uncrashable rubber plane. :beta1: -
Taiwan F-16 loses radar contact, may have crashed

Green Hell for Wings over Vietnam
MigBuster replied to Stary's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mods/Skinning Discussion
Holy f... I was going to have a quick browse at the weekend - people have always blamed Nvidia in the past for all shimmer nastyness - but if this has eliminated it then congratulations!! Dont suppose you could look at Falcon 4AF too CA_Stary - you have to include this fix in v1.1 -

A upcoming South America War?
MigBuster replied to Silverbolt's topic in Military and General Aviation
300 million!!! wow be surprised if Chavez let that go - the amount of SU-30s he could have bought with that. I dont know what to think tbh - dont pay much attention to what the press say - all twisted to suit their own agendas really. Just hope they dont go to war really Dont know if the FAV got all their SUs yet - they have a few good old F-16s left -
Shot down by Abrams MBT
MigBuster replied to JKstar's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
The RPG (Rocket propelled Grenade) is unguided - so hitting anything moving in the air is a fluke - especially firing it upwards where it would be forced all over the place by gravity and never go straight anyway -

A-10 Mav Loadout wrong
MigBuster replied to GodSaveTheUSA73's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mods/Skinning Discussion
Well I guess you are the expert in A-10 loadouts - so anyone with a question now yours chance! Seen loads of threads where people argue about loadouts. If you have any problems come back and ask - most of what you need to know is already on here in past threads or on the revised knowledge base. You could even post your loadout.ini and data.ini if you like as a realistic A-10 loadout mod for others when its sorted. -
Does anyone know why it was landing on there?

A-10 Mav Loadout wrong
MigBuster replied to GodSaveTheUSA73's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mods/Skinning Discussion
Would think so - may even be possible if you open up A-10s loadout.ini and change it to 2 instead of 3 for each agm-65 (you would need to extract that file from object.cat) Otherwise I guess lau-88 itself would need to be changed itself - need an expert though -

Thanks CA No the light on the water looks okay to me - its not far off the real thing -

MigBuster replied to Stary's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mods/Skinning Discussion
Have found trees growing out of a large airfields taxiway: Also the water on mine goes white when the sun shines on it - Its ok otherwise - is this the same issue you were having? -

Green Hell for Wings over Vietnam
MigBuster replied to Stary's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mods/Skinning Discussion
CA-Stary - you truly are a king amoungst men - I would have paid for that mod! In fact with the trees the high res looks much better than the payware terrains - the tile edges arnt so obvious either. The only issue I could think of for people installing this into a YAP install is that some targets and objects may have trees growing out of them now. -
When Is The Last Time You Backed Up Your Stuff?
MigBuster replied to Dave's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
The amount of time I spend getting the installs to how I want them its goota be backed up. I just copy the entire game folder for each install to DVDs. -
U2 have done some classics IMO - Desire,Mysterious Ways and Sunday Bloody Sunday (ignoring the context behind the song obviously) are faves The Edge was one of thoese 80s guitarists who could make the simplest guitar riffs sound amazing!
