A few questions about SFP1
eightlein replied to Caesar's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
Howdy Caesar, I procrastinated long enuf and just got it (SF) myself. (wov fan too, its a generation thing) but I luv it. The time period itself allows a lot of freedom to addon AC, weapons etc, whereas with WOV you want to keep it real. There is something about lighting up a Mig-17 from 50 miles out with a Phoenix from a Tomcat that just aint fair. Just make sure you got the valusoft edition and patch it up before you even try to fly. Check to make sure the AC have all the files with 'em if you import. -
F-104 ECM?
eightlein replied to GWhizz's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
Howdy, Throwing in my 2 cents, from what I've read, the 104 was a great psycho weapon and performed escort but was not credited with any A-A kills. The bad guys couldnt keep up so they didnt go up, she was just too damn fast. "The missle with a man strapped to it" -
AC130 Gunship problems.
eightlein replied to Mig15's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
Sidewinder, doesnt he have to get SFP1 and go from there to get the LOD files as you previously mentioned? I am confused, since now you cost me $4.99 and gas to boot!! -

eightlein replied to jopiazz10's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mods/Skinning Discussion
Diddo!! Pick up Strike Fighters Project 1 at Circuit City $4.99. Make sure you go to the Links and "patch up" both sims. Theres a great group here who will help you get to know SF/WOV. Check out the forums as mentioned and note the "Stickys" and tutorials. Lots of FAQ's and answers there from very knowlegeable veterans. -

Fuel Gauge F-100D
eightlein replied to eightlein's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mods/Skinning Discussion
The right gauge shows usage agreed. Punch off the drop tanks it reads zero. The left gauge does not reflect any usage at all during mission. At least in the WOV v070505 (after Patches 1,2,3) that I'm running. Alas!! Such is life. -

Vietnam 1984 Campaign for WOV...coming soon
eightlein replied to MK2's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
MK2, I probably can answer my own question but just for snicks I'll ask: will changes have to be made to wepaons pack/folder if I add on say for example Tomcats, Falcons etc.? Currently I am staying within the WOV era of aircraft. I have d/l the current weapons pack update, so I figure the add on aircraft mentioned for your mission shouldnt be a problem either. Correct??? Please say YES!!! :yes: -

A-1 Skyraider for Wov � beginner needs help!
eightlein replied to Mig15's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mods/Skinning Discussion
Hi Mig15, pretty sure the A1v5 is a program in itself. It will d/l to program files, and does not go directly to the aircraft folders. When the weapons come seperate, you will need a weapon editor to make the additions/corrections/deletions. You can find the editors on the SF/WOV menu bar, along with tutorials. I am still new at this myself so we can stumble around together. I am sure the veterans will assist you better and will correct me if I am in error :yes: Its a great and patient group of folks here. -
desert airfield 4
eightlein replied to eightlein's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mods/Skinning Discussion
ok, will this replace the existing airfield(s) that came stock with the game? Which are located in the Terrain/ Vietnam Sea Airfield ini, 1,2,3,4.???????these are where my existing light sets are.. Cuz I find nothing in the objects/ground objects data ini's refering to airfields. I have not modified the existing airfield files at all. And on my first attempt, I see taxiway lights across the runway. Sorry but your gonna have to walk me thru this.Thanks. -
