Knowledge Data Base??
eightlein replied to eightlein's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
Sometimes it showed then not. Cookie and bookmark solved that prob. As for my vision difficulty, at least I'll be collecting social security before you......(wait a sec)....damn that stinks...LMAO -
Any tips for the A-6 drivers when using unguided munitions? Thanks.

Thanks, Rob, but for that skin I think you should give it to the Hrntfxr and perhaps he will guide me. He's still attempting to ween this grasshopper!!! LOL.....As far as the AF's go, I had a prob with the 3rd party A-7's on autopilot. For some reason when using Baffs QTO, they cartwheel all over the taxiway. I put everything into AF 4 for the Nam and AF 4 for Desert by making all the min base sizes to large, and just stay away from autopilot. I also notice that if you dilly dally too long prior to takeoff, your wingman will run over your butt, and 3 & 4 will screech and jump, again stay away from autopilot. It was better to fly off the EA-6B also. Now that I think about it, maybe I'll reload Baffs QTO with updates. A few things have been SNAFU'd since the latest patch. It was a guess thats what may be his problem. -

which airfield? and do you have the quicker takeoff mod installed? There is/has been some issues with add on AC with that mod. If that is not the case, as Memnon sez, I defer to someone else on that one. -

Airfield Lights on/off switch
eightlein posted a topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mods/Skinning Discussion
Just something to play with for those of us that didnt know. By changing the value of the LIGHTON= in the light sets, you can have em come on earlier. The higher the value, the earlier they light up. It will work on any of the lighted objects on the airfields. It will take some time depending on many light sets you have on any given Airfield, as each one has to be done seperately. The changes are done in the DATAINI's. Example Pic is VietnamSea_Airfield 4 DATAINI (configuration settings) The helipad is lit and its 0710hrs, setting is: LIGHTON=1.25 My Thanks to Baffmeister. -
I like what you guys have done with the place!! Wheres the head??..LOL..Great Job!

Addon Aircraft & Single Missions
eightlein replied to Sky Captain's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mission/Campaign Building Discussion
well sir, dont know what to tell ya. Depending upon what AC you have DL'd in addition to the stock AC it obviously does work. In my own SF depending on the type of mission I choose CAS, Strike etc.... "my list" shows a UH-1B, F-15C, F-5E, EA-6B among others to choose from. The same for WOV. Now if your talking WOE I cant tell ya, but see no reason why it wouldnt work there also. -
Addon Aircraft & Single Missions
eightlein replied to Sky Captain's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mission/Campaign Building Discussion
If your gonna dup it, make your own mission. See the Tutorial on the mission editor. And check with the veteran mission builders in here. See some of the missions posted already and that will help you out. Good Luck. Oh and one more thing.......never, ever try and turn with a Mig...LOL -

You mean like this F-15???...the little sob, still turned inside and gave me a burst prior to me going to Zone 5, getting some distance and taking him with a sparrow. you can edit the mission in question, But you have to have the AC you want already in your AC folders. example:F4J vs Mig17 Open the mission with notepad and make the changes you need.

I need the M27. After extracting and looking 4 times through the wepsdata ini and the gundata ini, in SF/WOV I cannot locate it. I do see a M27 lod in the weps folder. Do I need some new spectacles? And be advised this is my first foray into the realm of the weps editor. Oh, and for good measure I took a look at the DATABASE on your site. The AC in question is not in there as yet. Thanks. -

Without getting arousing anyone's ire, I was flying a random WOV CAS F-100, and my targets showed up as parked Mig29's. Although it was nice to light em up on the ground, is the operative word here "random"? Thanks.
