Wonder if I can order some of that classic American snow over the Internet? Also do the birds arrive on the branches to order - that's quite cooperative of them Praise be that the North Koreans have shipped in some coffee - they are truly great

Enhancing default terrain in FE2
MigBuster replied to scharmers's topic in Thirdwire - First Eagles 1&2
The building placement - best ever also for the above terrain http://combatace.com/files/file/10958-beta-frtown-tiles-summer-season/ You could try this also http://combatace.com/files/file/11191-seasonal-town-water-tiles-spring-summer-fall/ Put the terrain in first - I guess I could package the lot up for FE2 format when I get some time -
Enhancing default terrain in FE2
MigBuster replied to scharmers's topic in Thirdwire - First Eagles 1&2
would recommend the Jan Tuma Terrain -
Wicked - amazing photos - thanks for putting this up

Just another exercise vid - this doesn't really give any indication of platform capabilities (other than how much speed a Rafale can lose quickly)- need to know the ROE of the criteria of the exercise.

Amazing job on these thanks

Yuri Gagarin air crash details emerge New details have emerged about the air crash on 27 March 1968 that killed Yuri Gagarin - the first man in space. Fellow cosmonaut Alexey Leonov claims an "unauthorised" plane flew too close to Gagarin's fighter jet, sending it into a spin. Gagarin and his flight instructor Vladimir Seryogin died when their MiG-15 went down near the town of Novoselovo, about 90km from Moscow. ............... http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-22940068

There are already mostly ground war missions for Vietnam featuring ground troops etc for SF2V Gold - there is "Steel Tiger" campaign that has no red air at all that I have got so check that out - has mostly ground troops in it. For dropping cargo - YAP did that years back - supposed you have a crate as weapon and just press the fire button to drop it like a bomb maybe As for the aircraft most of them are in the SF2 WW2 section already - so check that out - maybe a few missing The French used Carriers as well so you can include those - check the ships section

Here's one for you guys............................(or not) The F-35 concept originally started out as a secret project started in the late 1960s at Mcdonnell Douglas. It was vastly rumoured that Robert Macnamara had approved the project along with the F-111 in the late 60s, and in his tenure at the World Bank it seems that he may have also had some financial influence in the defence industry still that allowed this secret project to unfold. Given a temporary designation of X-19 the project was set up as a counter to the Lightweight Fighter program. Several high ranking USAF officers in the Pentagon were most annoyed with some of the radical thinking being proposed in fighter design at the time and they wanted something could carry a lot of fuel and its weapons internally. The design was released in 1971 but there was concern from the designers that a powerplant could be found to overcome the drag and weight such a design would bring. A full scale prototype was ready in 1974, by then it would hope the design would cancel the need for the YF-16 and YF-17 that were also being readied. It was to use the same avionics and Engine as the YF-16, these being the best available at the time. Unfortunately the best available engine only produced around 14,000lbs of thrust in Mil and 23,000 lbs of thrust Max, and yet the empty weight of the X-19 was already over 29,000lbs. This meant the jet was woefully underpowered and in Mil power was vastly inferior to even the A-7D. It could carry nearly 3 times the fuel of the lightweight fighters, but its wide body gave it a much larger cross section and more drag. The angles on the body were supposed to provide RCS reduction, but manufacturing techniques and RAM coatings were no where near sufficient to achieve anything like this. Other problems began to crop up: It would need a cradle in the bomb bay to ready missiles like the AIM-9 to achieve lockon, but in doing so meant there was no space for anything else. This idea was eventually shelved so it was decided to carry A-A missiles externally. The AIM-7 was originally due to go in the bay but a design problem meant the bay was not big enough for this. Also electronics for the laser designator was not advanced enough to carried internally and thus would need to go in a pod. Many months of flight testing only produced a top speed of M1.4 leading to accusations that the fuselage was not area ruled properly. Since the project was declassified in 2011 one of the former test pilots made several comments including - "I couldn't see anything behind me and the visibility was terrible", "I didn't think the thing would get off the ground - I nearly ran out of runway!" and "The thing was slower than a turd stuck to a tortoise, and in an environment where you merged 99% of the time it was truly a clay pigeon against everything we flew against including the A-7D". Needless to say the whole thing was quickly swept under the carpet and not revived until the 1990s.............

The following I noticed have no SF2 conversions in downloads - even though I have had them for years in SF2 Su-15 Flagon A MiG-25 F-106 Su-27 (Any restrictions on this LOD? ) J-11 (Any restrictions on this LOD? ) AV-8C Harrier Gloster Javelin Gnat / Ajeet (Any restrictions on this LOD? ) also - Gloster Meteor F.x So if anyone has an interest in these then a good time to do a project :)

Fresh install
MigBuster replied to gillg's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
You will have to run each exe separately and install them how you want them If they are older exes you need to do them in order and also in conjunction with relevant patches - that you will find on here or on the TW site. You will also need to install them how you want them - i.e. are you merging the whole lot or are you installing them to different locations -
errr .....but needs a bit of work looking at this............. http://www.hml.queensu.ca/papertab

Don't speak Russian but I suspect they are saying controlled flat spin somewhere

Why did they keep dumping you back - did you not float properly? -

The May 2013 Patch and you
MigBuster replied to SupGen's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
It might be affecting a few mods - but I haven't noticed that much wrong in my install You take a risk with any patch - I only bother patching if there is something that might change things for the better. -
Crikey yes - just from the many poor decisions that seemed to have occurred although we may never get the full facts it was at least some insight into why things seemed to go so badly .
