Converting Oil to Jet Fumes...
MigBuster replied to Slartibartfast's topic in Military and General Aviation
Yes you can understand that - If you have to fly over any IADS in the future - given the choice between a jet where there is a good chance you will be fired at and one you likely wont be fired at, pilots are going to be glad of the F-35 - which should make the job safer and easier for now. -

Yes so is the capability of the F-35 though! Who cares - blame whoever allocated the budget Have the Russians or Chinese quoted this? You could reduce the computing capability. The F-35B is always up for debate - but a supersonic stealth Harrier thats a lot safer to fly cant be bad. At the end of the day its coming into service now so only time will tell how it does in conflicts and sales. -

Well the amount of F-16 operators in 1980 didn't amount to anywhere near the amount there are today over 30 years later Stealth is combat proven and is not hype - the fact that countries are going out of their way to develop such airframes really tells you something. Stealth is such a massive advantage and the US have had years to refine tactics to make the most of it - combine it with Sensors like EODAS its as good as it gets. Its sad to see that jets like the F-16 are finally outclassed in everyway but nothing lasts forever.........thats progress! -

Think it will be retired by the time we get round to doing anything about it The US experience of using Stealth since 1983 heralds tactics and capability we can only dream of - which is why we are getting the F-35, and the PAK-FA and J-20 are being developed. The US have had the money and luxury to develop cutting edge systems and fair play to them - any war they have to fly into will be totally one sided against Air and and modern IADS threats - or it can sit at home like the F-106 did for all those years - dont suppose they care because the F-35 will probably be selling like hot cakes for the next 30 years off the back of the 22 just like its predecessor the F-16 did. -

I suppose they are not far off each other in certain areas of airframe agility - in AF the Typhoon seems to be a similar flight model but with one advantage that makes it better in the guns only fight - which anyway is down to the pilot - so you must have been good. Shame that's the only area the Typhoon can compete with the F-22 in. -

Its ability to pull up when it looks like its out of energy is very impressive - just watching that gives me nightmares from when I used to dogfight it in Allied Force! -
Third Wire CatPak
MigBuster replied to Jug's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
Nah - haven't installed the latest patches yet - hoping to get round to it eventually! -
No you cant choose skins from inside the sim that I am aware of. you can install add on skins into the sim using either the skin pack installer or LODEditor (More difficult) - these will replace existing skins. This is done at your own risk - the sim was never meant to be modified.

Spectacular!

Questions
MigBuster replied to JaguarXK's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mods/Skinning Discussion
In SF1 there is no in game mission editor - so you need to use Notepad. You should have some mission (.msn) files in the missions folder (e.g. C:\GAMES\WOV\Missions) Copy one, open it in notepad and see what you can do. There were some 3rd party mission editors in the download section also that you could try. -
Questions
MigBuster replied to JaguarXK's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mods/Skinning Discussion
1. TW changed the naming convention for patches and services packs about 4 years back - anyway SP4 was v01-15-06 (15th Jan 2006) so pretty old. The mod was created at that time and there were a lot of changes to the game between then and 2008 so cant say if it would work in the latest 2008 without making changes to it. 2. User created single missions will only work in the load single mission tab - they cannot be used in campaigns. Campaigns use a dynamic engine to randomly generate missions based on certain criteria. You can create Campaigns - but this does not include defining missions for it. -

hmmm Bernie Fisher and Doug Masters have nothing on you it seems. Good job the troops had gone to have a party! -
This should be a sticky so people can check out some quick game shots

1. Vapour An example of vapour would be from the _data.ini [Leftwing] ........... HasVortexEmitter=TRUE VortexEmitterName=F16LexEmitter VortexPosition=-1.40, 1.50,0.00 VortexG=4.5 2. Wing flutter? Not sure the variables are there to do it - Even if they were you wont see the wing move - because that would need to be part of the 3D models animation.

F-86-F40 Problems
MigBuster replied to Moofles's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
If you can select the weapons okay for the same year in a single mission - then try defining a loadout in the campaign_data.ini: [AirUnit002] AircraftType=KfirC2 ....... UpgradeType=NEVER Supply[001].WeaponType=Python3 Supply[001].Quantity=160 Supply[002].WeaponType=Mk82 Supply[002].Quantity=1000 Supply[003].WeaponType=M117 Supply[003].Quantity=240 Supply[004].WeaponType=LAU-3A Supply[004].Quantity=240 Supply[005].WeaponType=Mk83 Supply[005].Quantity=120 Supply[006].WeaponType=LAU-10A Supply[006].Quantity=120 Supply[007].WeaponType=Rockeye Supply[007].Quantity=240 Supply[008].WeaponType=Tank1300_Mirage Supply[008].Quantity=240 Supply[009].WeaponType=Shafrir2 Supply[009].Quantity=120 -
May 11 updates out now!
MigBuster replied to tn_prvteye's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
Yes this is an obvious problem - a website despite giving worldwide reach still needs a degree of marketing so that people actually know its there. I have suggested to TK that he releases one of the SF2 games on CD for shops around the world to sell - although he didn't like this idea he must realise that he needs to get more advertising out there. -
like the one with the man putting his hand on the womans boob edit: oh actually i think thats just a scrolling advert on the far right - still hit the page a few times you might get lucky

Another one bites the duct - on a roll Next week Gaddafi :yes:

MigBuster replied to tn_prvteye's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
I am afraid we have no way of knowing one way or the other - so I think stating that he does not have the competance is a bit off - especially given his experience in programming computer games and his possible contacts in the industry. -
