How long have you waited around for? Previously in WOE/WOV I could just bomb it to the target and they would appear as soon as I hit the IP - in WOI though if I fly there at over 400 kts for example I have to wait around a bit till they start to roll. I remember this happening in SFP1 - but in WOI it seems to be part of the game.

How I fight in the Mirage?
MigBuster replied to Stratos's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
Instead of going high you go low - this should help maintain a bit of energy too -
How I fight in the Mirage?

Easier to use cannon in 1967 or 1973 as the missiles are pants and the Shahak/Nesher only had poor short range heaters like shafrir1/2 AIM-9B/D The AIM-120 came in in about 1996 for the IDF - they were both long gone by then. -
The distance depends on how much kinetic energy you can give a bomb before releasing it - as it has no power of its own. With JDAMs it comes down to the speed and height of the A/C. However with LGBs only - depends on the weather as it cant see through clouds etc - modern pods can laze upto 40,000ft, 90s pods maybe 25K or more- problem is the aircraft has to keep lazing the target the whole time till the bomb hits.

Noticed in the WOE 1979 default campaign - in WOECAMP2_data.ini the F-4E squadrons have a typo: //----- Player Unit [AirUnit017] AircraftType=F-4E Squadron=313TFS ForceID=1 Nation=USAF DefaultTexture=USAFCamo2 <------meant to be USAFGreen1 Whether it cause any issues - I dont know because ive fixed it before playing.

When putting older A/C into wov/woe from my previous install I have opened the xxx.ini (eg f-16a.ini) and changed the shadow code to this: [shadow] CastShadow=TRUE ShadowCastDist=10000 MaxVisibleDistance=800

Yes agree - the first one to feel good out of the box - helped a lot by the first good stock terrain. The planeset you get with it is pretty comprehensive - although I don't like the menu screen - luckily Kout has provided some free ones for download. After playing a lot of default campaigns which are very good with everything set to Hard - Have added better high level flak, SA-7s , better sky, runway, and some missing weapons like the GBU-15, and early ECM pods used by the F-4s in 73.

If the Weapons show up okay in the latest weps editor in weapondata.ini then they are installed OKAY Next to check would be to see you have the correct models and skins in the weapons folder - which you should have anyway err as an example [CenterlineStation] SystemType=WEAPON_STATION StationID=7 StationGroupID=5 StationType=EXTERNAL AttachmentPosition= 0.0,-0.37,-1.06 AttachmentAngles=0.0,-2.0,0.0 LoadLimit=1000.0 <---- is this to small for you store? increase it AllowedWeaponClass=BOMB,FT,EP <------EP signifies it can take an ECM pod like ALQ-119 etc AttachmentType=NATO,USAF <------is this correct? ModelNodeName=pylon_centerline PylonMass=86.18 PylonDragArea=0.02 FuelTankName=Tank300_F16 <---------this has to be the correct name for the fuel tank to show in loadout screen There may be other params that specify max length of the store etc Also no SOVIET stores can be loaded on the above even if you put WP/SOVIET attachment types because they are ENEMY nations

getting the FPS back
MigBuster replied to jaeger_301's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
runs without any problems on my Commodore ViC 20 btw -
No idea on the runway thing Try downloading the greenhell and terrain again and installing. Afterburners not showing up - means the thing you need isnt in the "effects" folder normally. look in the jets data.ini and go to the engines section to see what it needs. Check the F-15 to see if it has a skin and whether its the right skin for that model - sounds like some files may be missing or in the wrong place.

WOI Weapons
MigBuster replied to Liberty24's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
Use the weapons editor - and note the "import/merge" button I dont recommend the Chuck Norris method - u might break your leg or something
