Well about 90% of what goes out a week is in the recycle bag these days. Cant afford a new car - wouldn't consider a hybrid because tests on current models show how high the petrol consumption really is. The hydrogen powered car looked more promising - they need to move on that IMO. I use the low power light bulbs, dont leave lights on or things on standby - the power usually goes off at the wall. Air con is not required in England - havnt switched on a fan or fan heater in years - also had a mild winter so Heating was off fully from March!

Well I know the point of the concerts were to raise awareness of the current situation - which it may have done to some people - though I suspect most would have thought it was just another concert. I myself know the situation so another boring concert didn't appeal to me obviously - and I dont see biofuels being the answer due to the amount of crop land needed for the common types. Another slight problem at the moment is developing industrial nation like China and India whose emissions increase every day. Self appointed experts over here tell us that even if the entire UK ditched Cars/planes and went on bikes every where the effect would be canceled out by these other nations within a few years - great! If global warming is a real threat then you can kiss the Earth goodbye - I cant see us pulling out of this one! - though we'll see. Im sure some celebs do care about environmental issues now the bandwagon has come round - the question is were these people like Genesis and Madonna raising these issues in the 70's and 80's?

CTD in Middle East Wars
MigBuster replied to NZgunner's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
Firstly if you havnt done so create a new install of Strike Fighters for each campaign you want to install - they wont work well when mixed together. When i say new install you dont have to install from the CD just install SF once and patch up. Then copy the entire game folder for each install and rename appropriately. Once thats done there are lots of issues that will cause CTD's however they are nearly always fixable because they are down to modified files. Finding a campaign thats been updated for the latest service pack is a good start - if not then you may have to spend time testing each plane to see if it works properly - and of course the ground object issue was a big change. The readme's with campaigns sometimes assume the installer knows his stuff unfortunately however - there is no end of info in the knowledgebase on this site - also try searching the SIMHQ archives - nearly everything you will need to know is in there. -
Tried an Early War campaign last night...
MigBuster replied to F-4PhantomII's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
Nice one - says it all - I love taking the F-4B on early 60's MigCap missions - is a dilemma how to take them down sometimes if you stick to the visual range rules! -
It gets publicity for the bands and another knighthood for Bono and Bob Geldorf usually - Ive no idea where the money really goes to or how it will improve the natural Earth. I don't think the emissions caused by all the people traveling there and the masses of Electricity used could have done much good - I cant even leave my TV on stand by anymore - yet these tw@s can use what they like to sing a few ancient songs and lame covers. The BBC showed the UK concert live from Wembley stadium for most of the day yesterday - which almost guarantees it will be lame. Well in the 5 mins I watched it for it didn't disappoint - on to the stage comes Genesis - and off goes the TV - so it reduced my carbon footprint a bit anyway!. There was a rumor on f-16.net that flying time for air forces is likely to be cut and Pilots use flight simulators more - well that is a positive step to curb emissions if ever I saw it - cos you would have to put a gun to my head for me to give up my car for more than a day!

woah - thats good! -
Is there any way to enable icons?
MigBuster replied to tmdgm's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
I cant remember TBH - though theres an open slot for anyone who wants to investigate that. I guess you could try making the AA missiles use a LargeSamTrail effect or something. -
Shot down by SA-7
MigBuster replied to Tantobot's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
Depends the SA-7 that can be downloaded here has never fired at me although the SA-7 bloke in YAP does fire at me. There are a lot of differences in SeekerFOV, gimbleLimit etc in the weapondata.ini - I havn't looked into what will fix this yet. Then theres also the issue of how well the early model SA-7 could even target a fast jet in the real conflict. -

MigBuster replied to tmdgm's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
Probably here under effects http://www.sfmods.com/ Can see the SAMS okay for sure - can see the AA ones when they wizz past - not sure what distance you see them at though. -
Backup of SFP1 Data
MigBuster replied to Starfighter's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
Probably just an ini edit if you mean the F-104's title - but if that all youve done - just reinstall and mod the new install - its up to you really. -
Weird Clouds that float around?
MigBuster replied to WombRaider's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
Nah mine only rotate - any moving white puffy things usually means a Deuces enhanced SAM is on the way! -
THE BEST AIR TO AIR MISSILE
MigBuster replied to boris1234's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mods/Skinning Discussion
Yeah BVR's just not Cricket - what happened to 2 men of honour dueling in similar flying machines - hopefully we will get some better counter measures soon! -
THE BEST AIR TO AIR MISSILE
MigBuster replied to boris1234's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mods/Skinning Discussion
You saying that the 1990 sim F-29 Retaliator I had on the Amiga got it all wrong! -

MigBuster replied to tmdgm's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
Ive upped the WP missiles in WOE using the Weapons editor - you can change some of the values to make them as accurate as you wish. Have also downed the AIM-9L - that seemed too good! The R feature at least gives you a direction! -
Backup of SFP1 Data
MigBuster replied to Starfighter's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
If you have done a lot of Mods - To backup everything you can simply COPY the entire game folder to another location and rename the folder to SF_Backup or something (check you have the space to do this - about 1.5GB). then: 1. uninstall the game 2. reinstall the game - (making sure you dont over write your backup!) 3. Apply patches 4. Take what Mods you need from SF_Backup and plonk them into the new install. 5. Then remove the SF_Backup folder when done -
F-104 and Countermeasures
MigBuster replied to Tantobot's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
Well it must have cost related but I would have taken the F-4 if I had the choice like them. -
Need directions
MigBuster replied to serverandenforcer's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
Do you change the advanced profile for your card - setting things like Antialiasing and anisotropic filtering? - you may want to experiment with setting those values to see if anything improves. -

MigBuster replied to tmdgm's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
Your best bet is to use better smoke trail effects i would think. -
Silly me - I should have just gone to wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thundercracker I had the original set of these too: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aerialbots Maybe wish I hadn't sold them all now - they may be worth something!
-
Had to think about that one - the original F-15s were Starscream, ThunderCracker, and Skywarp in the UK

'Constructicons' unite!

Nice one thanks - missed it when it was TV :(
-
Big part of my childhood - Have got the 1987 TF Movie on VHS still - great film that was - the new one looks great and seems to be aimed at an adult audience so probably wont miss it. I even remember when Starscream was just a humble F-15!

Happy Summer!

Replacement Pilots...
MigBuster replied to Lt. James Cater's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
Well it doesn't help that by default the AI hates going under 1000ft and prefers flying in a perfectly straight line when a SAM is launched - only thing you can do there is break so they follow you. I think they actually use ECM now anyway. If anyone knows the frequency of pilot replacement then let us know please. havn't seen any building at 500ft yet - dont even get that in Falcon these days !
