Where do you draw the line between fun and obsession ?

Sundowner replied to Veltro2k's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
I think at the end of the day its up you the individual to decide what you want from whatever it is you do. I personally, am a selfish old bugger, so when I decide something is good enough for what I want to see, then thats it , done. [ on that note I have no end of stuff that I will never release mainly because that every time I think "thats it" after a couple of weeks I find something else that could be better] It all depends what you/we are trying to achieve, if all you want is constant back slapping "well done" reactions, then its time to give up, but if what you do makes you happy and serves its purpose, then carry on and enjoy the hobby. If others get enjoyment from it then thats a great bonus. I see this type of thing a lot on avaition photography forums, some folks are just interested in "Airliners Net" quality photos and anything else by "Joe Public" just dosent count.......but I bet Joe Public had more fun getting his photos. -

Very true m8........sometimes the search for perfection can lead to self destruction, that was how I got, then I realised when and where to draw the line. -

Splash screen not showing.
Sundowner replied to pcpilot's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
Just digging up an old topic.......the filename does not have to be INITSCREEN, it can be anything you like, just so long as the entry name and the bmp name match. [startup] IntroMovieList= StartupScreen=MainScreen LoadingScreen=Menu\ODS.BMP This way I have mutiple initializing screens in my menu folder.....one for every install. -
Alternate Falklands Terrains
Sundowner replied to Sundowner's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - File Announcements
Also I forgot to state that to use the 1983 Terrain your "End Year" statement in your options ini should be set at 2020 or something of your choice. This should also cure the above ctd issue. -
Alternate Falklands Terrains
Sundowner replied to Sundowner's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - File Announcements
Sorry for the late reply folks, but I cant get a ctd when flying single missions......but there is a part of eburgers read me that says..... "1. Single Missions vs Campaigns Like the original "Falklands '82" for SFP1, the Malvinas & Falkands terrains are set up to use different years for Single Missions (i.e., "Create Mission") and the Campaigns. Campaigns: both campaigns automatically start on May 1, 1982, and continue into mid June 1982. Single Missions: when flying Single Missions, set the "Mission Date" to 1983. If you set the date to 1982, you may get a CTD (crash to desktop) when attempting to start the mission. As Kesselbrut noted in his original ReadMe, game-generated single missions ("Create Mission") should be flown in 1983 because the only British air base on the islands was build in late May. If you have a mission date before May 29, 1982, the game will CTD becaue there is no air base for British aircraft to use. User-created missions (with a 1982 mission date) will work normally. British aircraft will still have to take off from a carrier before May 29, though, even in user-created missions for 1982." That could well be the problem you are getting. -

Sundowner replied to Viper63a's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
Be aware folks..... Just had a "lovely" experience where when win10 loads it signs you in with a temporary profile, it says you cant access your files and files created with this profile will be deleted when you sign out..........its taken me 2.5 hrs to get something like running again, and yet again there's loads of folks out there where there is no definate answer to putting this right. -

Sundowner replied to ErikGen's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
I have a pretty generic WW2/Cold War RAF bomber airfield layout if any body wants it, needs populating though and perhaps the textures for the runways changing as I dont think they had all those white markings on them during the war. -

Engine sounds
Sundowner replied to Trotski's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
Are you adding your sound entry to the soundlist ini ? There's various settings in there but in all honesty I don't really know what they all do. EG; [spey] Priority=NORMAL 3DSound=TRUE DopplerEffect=TRUE Looped=TRUE FrequencyControl=TRUE NumBuffers=4 MaxDist=1500.000000 MinDist=100.000000 InsideConeAngle=120 OutsideConeAngle=270 ConeOutsideVolume=5
