Frustrating myself
MigBuster replied to Madmalamute's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
I think the 3D model would need to be redone - new pylons could probably be added into the data.ini but I dont think anything would show up in the game. Someone was making an actual Mig-31 sometime back - assume its still a WIP? -
It is a big deal in the UK - has been the main headline since they went missing. Both sides claim they have proof the sailers were in either Iraqi or Iranian waters - bearing in mind the actual borders were still disputed between Iraq and Iran anyway. Blair/ Beckett and other ministers have now got the EU and UN to ask for the immediate release and to stop parading the servicemen on TV(which is illegal they say) and Iam pretty sure this will be dealt with diplomatically for the foreseeable future. A couple of the boat crew have admitted on video to being in Iranian waters - though its difficult to tell what they have been through. It may be likely that the Iranians are not happy that some of their people are being held in undisclosed locations. It is claimed by the media also that the revolutionary Guard have a big say in the running of the country and some hardliners may want to keep them. Whatever happens I hope they come back soon. Actually one of the things annoying me at the mo is that they have made the woman sailer (Faye Turney) wear one of their headscaves/veils - cheeky sods!!

Thank you to the Aircraft Designers!
MigBuster replied to WarlordATF's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
Ebay or Amazon maybe: http://www.amazon.com/Strategy-First-Strik...0662&sr=8-1 Planes in Strike Fighters - try here: http://www.column5.us/faq.htm Similar to WOE really though there is a comparison chart here: http://www.column5.us/sfchart.htm As for bombing techniques there is an entire manual on ground and air weapon deployment techniques by Andy Bush at www.simhq.com so do a search there. -
Why russian aircrafts are so weak
MigBuster replied to kelvin's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
You can add chaff and flares to any aircraft including the amounts with a few basic file changes - however you cannot change how effective they are - what you need to do is change is the parameters for each missile - which can be done using the weapons editor. There was a discussion recently on the Simhq forums regarding more accurate figures for the russian missiles - do a search over there and get the lowdown. Note: If you up the russian missiles parameters be prepared to take the missiles fired at you seriously regardless because the Chaff/Flares wont be enough. -
More MiG-27 skins
MigBuster replied to cgold's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
There are some here for certain models: http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?autom...amp;showcat=198 If there are no skins for a particular nations airforce then its because no one has had either time or the inclination to do them. Eventually a Mig loving skinner will do them all -
Couple of noob WOV question
MigBuster replied to PythonOne's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
1. Extract it from flightdata.cat using this : http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?autom...mp;showfile=343 5. Still being worked on I think - do a search on old posts here or at simhq for more info + check out the terrains download section on here. -
Help with modifying files in WOE
MigBuster replied to marvinblue's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
To open any files with a .cat extension you need to download and install this: http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?autom...mp;showfile=343 you then need to extract the file you need and open it with the relevent program - for .ini files Notepad is great. BTW the files always stay in the .cat file so by extracting the file you only make a copy of it - meaning that you can actually delete the file if you hash it up too much and the game will use the original in the Cat file - or you can just extract it again obviously! -
MiG-21 Question
MigBuster replied to PythonOne's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
Other than using Fraps im not sure - I think there is a debug mode that you can put the game into that gives a whole load of info - cant remember the key combo though - try searching old posts on here or simhq if no one knows -
What should i do to get a playable F-104S/G in WoV? Help
MigBuster replied to Miracles's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
I use the F-104C-10 in WOV - mainly because it was actually used in the SEA conflict Download an F-104 cockpit from here: http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?autom...um=10&st=30 The files need to be in a folder called Cockpit - like the other planes. The f-104.ini file should have an entry that refers to the correct cockpit .ini file ie: "CockpitDataFile=F-104C_cockpit.ini" -
They are great in Falcon F4 - you dont have to learn hundreds of key combos for a start. Im sure that the Track IR thing will be resolved when 3D clickable cockpits become more available - in the next generation of flight sims. I would expect the next incarnation of Falcon (or whatever) to have a clickable cockpit. To use a mouse with your opposite hand is not difficult btw.

Weird WOV graphics crash
MigBuster replied to franx's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
This is not a common problem and this series is very stable - so im almost certain it is to do with the graphics card/drivers or monitor drivers. It may be worth changing a few in-game graphics settings and than trying some different profiles from your advanced card settings also - (if you can) -
Anyone interested in Yukikaze aircraft?
MigBuster replied to Shin_kazama's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Sci-Fi/Anime/What If Forum
They look pretty cool - Some interesting 4th Generation concepts there! -

Aircraft speed at high altitude
MigBuster replied to hhf's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
The airspeed is normally accurately modelled ive been assured - particularly in the 3rd party planes. For a start the Airspeed is measured in Knots and Altitude is measured in Feet in game for the NATO planes. Also there are Indicated Air Speed (IAS) and True Air speed (TAS) readings - both of which are measured differently - I think the HUD reading in the bottom left hand corner gives IAS only - thing is I got rid of that display years ago and only use the analogue cockpit dials so someone correct me if im wrong. -

Improvements
MigBuster replied to Fates's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
Well The only thing Im not to fond of is that the posts get bunched together as links at the bottom of the page - so I have to change the options to Standard view each time. Is there a way to change the permanently? -
Linux And Wine?

Track IR 4
MigBuster replied to serverandenforcer's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
totally agree - I would never fly without my TrackIR again - its changes everything! -
ARM lock-on
MigBuster replied to Foo Fighter's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
If you have a SAM radar flashing on your RHAW scope then turn towards it select whatever ARM you have and then fire - though this doesnt guarantee you will hit the intended radar site. For some reason I had better luck with the Shrike A than the B or the Standard ARM. If you are close to the site it usually doesn't obtain a lock - without a RHAW like the early Skyhawks you have to spot SAM launches and then nose up a bit then fire - then prey! Taking 2 ARM's rarely results in 2 hits - you have to use cluster bombs / rockets/gun for most radars. -
No idea - but try the SIM HQ forum or Frugals if no one gives you an answer here

Odd thought on MIG-25...what do you guys think?
MigBuster replied to Madmalamute's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
I think all ECM deceptive / jamming can be burned through eventually - just depends at what range the Mig obtains a lock. At that point its time to switch off the ECM because the Mig is like to launch a missile that can home in on the ECM pod. Also depends on the type of ECM pod being used.
