What MudWasp48 said it true about any game. SSDs does not speed anything up but the loading before or during the game.

The Campaign's Data consists of two files, (example: the first is the FlandersFront01.ini and the second is the FlanderFront01_data.ini) and they are already extracted and in the appropriate folders. Since ojcar broke out each month, you have to add all the required information to each of the necessary month folders to have the above planes show up. P.S. have your ever read the SF1/SF2 Knowledge Bases yet ??? All this is explained in great detail on how to add objects and planes to campaigns. -

Panama Red replied to quack74's topic in Thirdwire - First Eagles 1&2
The question that I have is on the N28 wing roundrels, most of the paintings & pictures that I have seen of the N28 show the roundrel with the large white center and not the later SPAD XIII smaller white center. At what date did the USAS switch from the large white center to the small white center ??? -
33LIMA: The trouble with what people want, versus what TK has said is completely different. TK has stated several times "that it will most likely break existing mods if he updated the game", so there is no question that if he patches it that this will happen. Like I have said over and over, TK has said that HE WILL BREAK THE GAME if he patches it, so why do people want him to break it ??? He is not going to just "patch" the things we want, he will patch it the way he wants, and I do not think he can get much clearer than that when he has said "that it will most likely break existing mods if he updated the game", and that is his quote, not mine.

"Well, TK can or cannot make the patch an we can or cannot install the patch...." ojcar: 1. As you know when TK patches a game, he only sells the new patched game, so only the people who have the current game do not have to worry about any new problems that will be introduced, all new buyers are shafted. 2. If you are following SF2, you can see where all the new WW2 Plane_data.ini's are not compatible with the original SF1 WW2 planes (just ask Wrench about that). 3. With that in mind (and TK does the same thing to FE2 as he did to SF2, and he has already implied that will happen with his "broken mod" statement), which game are you going to make your new Plane_data.ini's for, FE1, current FE2 or the updated FE2 ??? 4. If as implied by TK that the old will not work with the new, are you going to go back and make a whole new set of FMs just for the new people who do not have access to the current FE2 version ??? It is problems like this that happen when you open the FE2 update "can of worms" that has already happened in SF2 and there is no guessing if this will happen, because it has already happened in SF2.
-
My concern is there are people over at TW that are asking TK to update FE2 and he has said at least twice "that it will most likely will break existing mods". Now if TK has already warned everybody what will probably happen, why are some people still speculating that this will not happen ??? He is the developer and he should know what will probably happen since FE2 is based off SF2 and it did break existing mods when he updated SF2 over the years. As a result, what some people are betting on is that something may not happen, when the person is charge tells you that it most likely will happen !!!

I have no dispute on what you are saying quack74 and I would love to see these things too, but unfortunately that is not the way TK works. When TK makes a patch for FE2, he will go the way of SF2 and if you own SF2, you can see the results. It is a constant battle of one step forward and one step back as he fixes several things and breaks several more things, all the while "locking down" more and more items that you used to be able to mod. It is not particularly the "fixing and breaking" things that bother me the most, it is the "locking down" items that bothers me since the main strength of FE/FE2 versus the other two major WW1 flight games is the ability to mod what you want compared to what you can not mod in those games.

SF2 and reinstall...
Panama Red replied to Slartibartfast's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
I do notice that I still have the micro-stuttering problem with the stock May13 patch, just like the stock Jul12 patch (even though there is zero stuttering with my heavily modded Jan11 version). -
ataribaby: You do not understand, once TK decides to do a patch, he will change everything HE WANTS to change, not what we want to change as evident by the sad state of SF2. So when he patches FE2, he will bring it in line with the SF2 series and that means all the problems associated with SF2 now will be in FE2. With TK, it will be ALL or NOTHING patch, and I prefer to have none of the problems with SF2. By the way, did you even try the random Campaign Weather mod ???

With the early DAT BE2, the gunner is always standing too, but when he swings the MG, he can swing it from the left all the way to the right.

gun jammed
Panama Red replied to UllyB's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
The only guns that can be "unjammed" is a gun that you can fix during flight. The plane's only guns that qualify for that are guns positioned directly in front of the pilot like most WW1 planes. Even WW1 planes that had their guns buried in the fuselage could not be "unjammed" in flight. As a result, you can not "unjam" a gun on a jet since the pilot can not reach it to fix it in flight. [GunData] AllowUnjamAttempt=TRUE This does work in FE/FE2, but only because the guns are normally within the pilot's reach in flight and the default button for that is "U". -
