Strike Fighters 2 Screenshots Thread
WTRAdmin replied to Wrench's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Screen Shots
Really...? What is the point of posting a screenshot from another commercial game model...I guess to get likes for unjust credit... Didn't you already get called out here: Anyway, obligatory silly screenie - down on the farm making an honest living. -
Is there an F-100F for SF2?
WTRAdmin replied to TheStig's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
Or you could be patient and wait for the When Thunder Rolled Vietnam-era version (camo and natural silver metal masterful skinning with great appreciation to Carlo/Soufreak), but better be patient or PM us. Otherwise, grab the dilapidated version from other silly sources.- 16 replies

F-105 with an opening bomb bay
WTRAdmin replied to TheStig's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
F-105s....F-105s? Is someone actually referencing the Vietnam conflict other than myself and Sundowner? I thought all us old geezer fans long disappeared. Anyway, we like F-105s. A lot. But not enough to make one with functioning bomb bay doors, since as Wrench and others shared even though designed for that capability they were never used as intended. Fun fact, our project advisors including Thud Pilots shared that many times the bomb bay doors were literally sealed/riveted shut. But who knows, maybe just for fun in the future we'll add that functionality but definitely put it on the "wish list." Well, since you brought up the topic, just for fun here is our latest Thud updates and bonus sneak peek of WTR Terrain and Atmospherics 2.0...- 9 replies

For those familiar with the project, the When Thunder Rolled era is primarily set from May to November of 1966 during Operation Rolling Thunder over North Vietnam. While that helps limit the scope of aircraft, it does not mean we are limiting the development efforts. We'd like to solicit your feedback, please. Which Vietnam-ear aircraft/helos would you like to see made available - of course up to our high fidelity standards the best we can. As a reference point, when we last ran this poll, the Skyraider ended up taking the top spot followed by the F-100F and the Mig-17...your feedback welcomed and encouraged. Bonus Screenie - and thus, this was made reality...any talented and interested Skyraider skinners please PM me...

When Thunder Rolled: End of Summer Update
WTRAdmin replied to MigBuster's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters Series News
Hello, thank you for your comments. The project was always intended to be mission-based, but during early alpha builds some talented modders did create a campaign for it so there is definitely that potential. -
When Thunder Rolled and Winds of Change - September 2021
WTRAdmin replied to MigBuster's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters Series News
If you're reading the book you'll absolutely have an even greater appreciation for the project, especially as we are replicating the missions not only as the book describes but in accordance with Ed's actual flight logs. Just curious if you have a favorite mission/experience in mind you're hoping to enjoy? -
Strike Fighters 2 Screenshots Thread
WTRAdmin replied to Wrench's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Screen Shots
Maybe so. Right after we finish building 1000s of miles of the Ho Chi Minh trail and accurate surrounding elevation. And then finish up 100s of miles of the Vietnamese rail lines. Then we will work on the major road networks. -
Supporting the When Thunder Rolled Project...
WTRAdmin replied to WTRAdmin's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters Series News
Still in progress. Yes, we have spent years working on this and continue to do so. In full transparency, we underestimated the lack of interest and community support/contributions so expenses have sky rocketed and delays elongated due to heavy reliance on outsourcing. -
Supporting the When Thunder Rolled Project...
WTRAdmin posted a topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters Series News

Strike Fighters 2 Screenshots Thread
WTRAdmin replied to Wrench's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Screen Shots
@Soulfreak – that looks outstanding. Look at that attention to detail; side stenciling, placards, texture gradient/weathering, just love it! I know not everyone appreciates these kinds of details but it looks terrific. I guess I owe a picture since I responded here in the screenshot thread, so here's something similar in detail as we work to at long last to finalize the Thud after many years... but just to be clear the push buttons are inop (LOL). -

plant too many trees
WTRAdmin replied to hachBORHSO's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
We like the diection of our WTR Jungle - but the best part is the new approach and techniques that not only provides a much more dense and immersive jungle but also maintains awesome performance / FPS (see early screenie). -
