Taking a back seat?
sparkomatic replied to FastCargo's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mods/Skinning Discussion
man...hard to imagine all of these options...I remember when we finally got rockets added to the game it was like Superbowl Sunday... -
Man, that is 125 days dealing with students in a machine all too willing to kill you both...unlike the docile 'tweet or beloved turbo-mentor, the Talon (or whatever it is you like to call it) gets ugly quickly the closer you get to pK=1 How do you like flying for FedEx? I used to work for UPS...

F-104 flight model
sparkomatic replied to mppd's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
same for the tip-rails on a Viper... so you think it is accurate? Hmmm...the random mission in WOE pitted my 2x F-104G against 4xMi-24...obviously this was a perfect mix-match...but the fact that I was able to sustain a turn at 320 KIAS at 3000 should tell you that either I am remarkable (yes, I know) or else the model is too forgiving. Note that the comment is "missile" and not "rocket" enormous difference there. And while it has stubby wings, that T-tail is not much smaller than the wings, which certainly lends to maneuverability but you have your answer above, he found the link for you -

sparkomatic replied to triplethr3at's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
personally, I try to change only one or two things at a time, start the game and see what happens...sounds like you maybe made a lot of changes in a short time...that will be very difficult to trace the error originator best bet is to start backing things out, or preferably to make a fresh install, add one plane that is giving you problems to see if it works in the fresh install (in this example, you would have two installs, the current one, and one to test the planes) it does not sound like a simple problem, unfortunately -
are you using an nVidia? they are notorious for needing driver updates ad nausea...I have been using them for years, just comes with the type I guess
-
doest really matter...the thirdwire engine for SFP1/WOV/WOE/FE dumps medals, as in does not record them in your pilot folder...so you could win the Blue Max and enjoy it until you touch anything, at which time it goes into Tron
-
whoa...is that photo-shop'ed?
-
whoa...$70 seems a bit steep to me...especially since I usually wait until the FS gets lower price-wise but as long as you are happy, then it really doesnt matter what you paid for it

WOE...anti-ship missions
sparkomatic posted a topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
OK, for the cheap seats here (that is me)...why is it when I start an anti-ship mission using third party aircraft it throws me into the middle of nowhere and says "mission accomplished"? -
WOE...anti-ship missions

this is interesting...doesnt work in the Bering St map either...same thing...goes off the map However, if one selects a Soviet design, then it works just fine, both German and Bering St maps...weird can see the initial point just off the map, but it will not allow me to drag it back onto the chart -
just read the stars/stripes...seems Iran said that the USN fabricated the entire thing...that sounds like the USN...not! just gets weirder and weirder

F-104 flight model
sparkomatic replied to mppd's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
wasnt being silly...the real thing was called a "missile with a man in it"...fast, but turning was not really an option I guess...the one in the game seems a bit more maneuverable than that planform would suggest...is that what you are referring? went looking through my SFP1 folder o'goodies as I thought there was something...have not found it yet...of course I did get interrupted by a nasty computer virus seems like there were a few re-worked FM's back for SFP1...think it has been a while though -

Bullet hit sounds & wounded sounds
sparkomatic replied to planecrazydale's topic in Thirdwire - First Eagles 1&2
again, you may have to do some tweaking, and in the least make the file names match...may poke around another sim like Jane's and see/listen to what you like better, then try that -
