Here are some sources on its (lack of) auto-rotaion capabilities: http://www.g2mil.com/V-22safety.htm http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/sys...-22-survive.htm (towards the bottom of the page) http://www.defensetech.org/archives/001837.html http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/...1666282,00.html

But if both engines go out while in chopper mode, you're screwed because Boeing didn't bother giving it auto-rotation capabilities. The V-22 would fall like a very expensive boulder.

What's the best way to kill a mig?
arf16 replied to Mannie's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
Lol, I've done that before, but I rippled of all twelve at once. It's funny watching a "squadron" of bombs chase a MiG through the air. IRC, they actually gained altitude when the target was above them. I don't think anyone programed the smart bombs to actually fall when released because no one expected them to be used on anything but ground targets; they just home in on the selected target. -
How Come all Combat flight Sims are stuck in the WWII era...
arf16 replied to SkyStrike's topic in The Pub
If you consider Secret Weapons over Normandy a flight sim, it has guided bombs and rockets in it. -

I did something, what do you think
arf16 replied to Brain32's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mods/Skinning Discussion
OT, sorry AFAIK, there are no skyscraper mods of SF/WOV/WOE. But the EAWEuro terrain does have some nice large cities, such as Berlin or London, painted onto the tiles. Hope this helps. -

It reminds me of what i saw on the road a couple months ago. I was travelling to Hershey Park with my friends and watching Monty Python in the backseat. When I finally broke my attention from the Spanish Inquistion and looked out through the front window, I saw a huge Paladin artillery piece on a flat bed truck not more than 30 feet in front of us!

I've been watching some videos on youtube of dogfights (such as this one here: ), and I've noticed that on the HUD a squiggly line appears that looks like it leads up to the target. Does anyone know waht this line is or what it's used for? thanks

Am I the only one who actually enjoyed Rogue Squadron? I'm still waiting for Lucas Arts to release the sequels for PC.

Fancy aircraft
arf16 replied to Sgt.KAR98's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
I think it would be awesome to see real world aircraft fighting Star Wars craft, like in Secret Weapons over Normandy. -

Springfield, Va This has had a profound impact on the community around here. I went to the local Sports Authority to pick up a VT shirt, but all they had left were shirts in XX-L and some hats. That entire mall was cleaned out of VT apparel. :( BTW, Counterstrike could be blamed for this, but this guy was so mentally disturbed that no one but the shooter could be blamed

I heard on the news last night that the police found two different hand guns of different caliber on the shooters body

One of the girls killed went to my school...I know many people at VT right now and the scary part is that I still haven't heard if all of them are ok

WOV/WOE V's LOMAC

I loaded LOMAC onto my laptop once, and I wasn't even able to play it because it's so demanding on the system. -

Thanks, I already fixed all the DefaultTexture lines, and I'll try adding a start line to all the none player units.
