F-4E USAF pack
Svetlin replied to ravenclaw_007's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - File Announcements
ravenclaw, another greatly appreciated masterpiece. Do you remember the F-4E model with the single piece windscreen that you did after my enquiry in the German forum? Will it be released in a separate pack? P.S. I will not be able to install and fly this pack for several hours or even a day, so I do apologize if the model is already included, I just did not see it listed. -
PZL TS-11 Iskra
Svetlin replied to paulopanz's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - File Announcements
Veltro, could you raise the instrument panel a bit higher, may be to the level of the nose where the cockpit windscreen starts, so it is visible when looking at the aircraft from the side? Now it seems a bit too low in the cockpit, as if the pilot need to kneel down to look at it or as if there is no instrument panel at all. -
AGM-12E
Svetlin replied to ravenclaw_007's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
In the late 1950s there were experiments in USA with wing-clipping (but mostly if not entirely on triangular/delta wings) as scientists were looking to reduce drag and therefore increase speed and/or range of the object. I wonder if by clipping the wings of the Bullpup, the producer might have been looking to achieve aerodynamic benefit? -

Super Hornet Package for SF2 v4.1
Svetlin replied to EricJ's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - File Announcements
OK, I think I found the problem - file EA-18G_Avionics.ini is missing. I copied FA-18F_Avionics.ini, did the necessary edit to EA-18G.ini and no game crash. Brain32, thank you for the attention, if you could post here the file EA-18G_Avionics.ini, I would appreciate it. I am not sure if I am getting to see the full beauty of your work on the Growler pit using the F avionics.ini. -
Super Hornet Package for SF2 v4.1
Svetlin replied to EricJ's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - File Announcements
I am having a problem with the Growler. When I try to fly it in both SF2E and SF2NA (both patched ot the latest level), the game loads to 100%, then I am getting a black screen and the game crashes. I am not having this problem with the E and F. I also did not have this problem with the Growler from previous versions of the pack. So I wonder if this is cockpit-related issue, afterall the cockpit is the only major novelty in the latest version of the Growler? I did look for clues in the read-me files, but alas. -
Good work overall and thanks for sharing with the community, just the model seems to be too big in scale.

Sci-Fi/Anime/What If Forum Work in progress thread
Svetlin replied to KnightWolf45's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Sci-Fi/Anime/What If Forum
FM for the MiG-23PD might be tricky. Copy/paste from Harrier or F-35B, or Yak-38 might not work as they were meant to hover for vertical landing and use trust to turn in the air when the normal control surfaces have no effect at low speed. The MiG-23PD was just a STOL aircraft test-bed, i.e. vertical take-off and landing were not possible. I am thinking of FM from MiG-21 with additional lift engine/s. I have not read detailed comments on the flight characteristics of the MiG-23PD and have not compared wing area, weight and trust with the MiG-21 to get an idea which one was more maneuverable though. I wonder if it would be possible to control the trust of the lift engines with the trust-vector-control input and not with the throttle control input and keep the trust direction always downwards? Theoretically, this way if no trust-vector control is applied, the aircraft will have normal take-off and landing characteristics (i.e. just flaps-assisted). If trust-vector control is applied, the aircraft will get extra lift, while keeping the forward speed independently increasing or decreasing as per the current throttle setting. If the lift engines intake cover is animated to work together with the flaps and the STOL characteristics are represented by increased "flaps-down" effect, then we will not have the possibility for standard take-off (i.e. without the use of lift engines). -

Viggen tank
Svetlin replied to Derk's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
This one is slightly longer than necessary, missing 1 (for the AJ-37) or 2 (for the JA-37) tail fins, but that is the closest match in general looks I was able to find among existing models. It is the J-10 wing tank, that came with Erwin_Hans's J-10 here at CA. If I am not mistaken, it is still in the downloads section. -

What If Screenshot Thread.......
Svetlin replied to Dave's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Screen Shots
Pictures/computer graphics of the JAGM show these loaded on aircraft on triple launchers instead of quadruple. May be quadruple launchers are not strong enough to sustain high speed and G-forces. Just a note, I know we are in the what-if forum -
Su-17/20 update
Svetlin replied to 76.IAP-Blackbird's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
These are mixed-up a bit. On the top row, the right one is the S-24 rail, the left one seems a bit like APU-60 rail for R-60 single missile and the 2nd row left one seems like the R-13 rail. -
Driving me nuts
Svetlin replied to russouk2004's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
I am not 100% sure (need to test in game), but probably by removing the respective animation entries, the upper air intakes can be made to stay closed all the time. Then by removing the respective panel lines, it may be possible to achieve a full "no-upper-intakes" effect. The main intake covers are a different story though. If we try to remove them with ini edit, we may end up with an awkward reslut. -
