Blasphemy!

Hey Guys,

This question will probably be regarded as Blasphemy, but does any of you know if there are repaints available for the LAGO F-16 and Tornado addons for CFS3?

I did the usual searches, and nothing came up...

Sorry if I stepped on some vintage toes here, it was just an honest question!

Thanks a million!

Hi PB,

Before you get jumped on all over by all the Third Wire fans here :icon_lol:
are these add-ons any good?

Thanks,

Pat :)
 
so-so but louds of fun

To be honest, they're a bit dated. Not at all like the brilliant addon planes offered by the ETO expansion.

Also, the WWI clad pilots in a Viper are a bit of a put off. That and the fact that jumping out of the planes is done in WWII fashion. I was actually hoping for a modern ejection sequence, but sadly not there...

BUT: shooting up things with that M61 Vulcan is a joy, and so is the sound! Like a huge loud guinness burp! :jump:

Also the jet engine sounds leave somewhat to be desired and there is no afterburner effect.

The lack of real adversaries make it that you have to go after german tornado's in your viper...

But most important, these addons are a lot of fun!

I will say, I don't even know if these things are still available, I just bought them at some second hand market!

I hope this answers your question and that you didn't shoot yourself in the foot with that question (your peers)

Take care!

I have several skins for the F-16 that i converted from Fs9 to CFS3 skins. I also modified the FM a bit, I did not like the way it handled. Star Speeder was working on a Mig-29 sometime ago but I am not sure he ever intended to finish it. I have been hoping for a worthy opponent for the
F-16 for sometime. Currently the tornado is the only thing half way close to fly against. I also have some Fs9 converted skins for that, I will forward if you want them, just PM me with your email.
 
Pm

Lewis & Pat, you have pm's!

Oh, and Lewis, you were talking about the modified FM's you made. Care to elaborate? :jump:

ndicki, how is Strike Fighters for Korean era?
Click to expand...

You'd really have to ask GregoryP if you want to know about FMs, etc - he maintains that it is far better than CFS3.

Otherwise - the aircraft are all there, but are often half-way between CFS1 and CFS2. The quality of most addon aircraft is poor compared to what say, Greg, Gerard or Johnno, for example, have got us used to. The paintschemes are not usually much good, either. Prop aircraft often have ridiculously badly done spinning prop effects... The list continues...

BUT! The sim itself is very good. Graphics quality is down a bit on CFS3, but FPS is better. I very rarely have stutter unless there are aircraft with no lower LODs - a common problem caused once again by sub-standard addons - flying around. There are all the guided and semi-guided missiles, etc, that began to see service about then. And it's as moddable, if not in fact more so, than CFS3.

Korea is the balance point, in fact. You could go one way like you could go the other. For my money, pre-1950 is CFS3, and post-1955 is SF. Korea is in the middle...

As things stand, I'd go with visual pleasure and stay with CFS3 for Korea, in the end. For later post-1960 conflicts, the aircraft quality in SF tends to be better; the stock stuff is fine, and the addons generally more credible, so there, SF wins easily.
 
E-mail

Pat/Clive,

Can you shoot me a mail please?

Cheers,

PB :icon29:
 
Just done this for SF2.

Bugger, attachments are still not working. Never mind.

The good thing about SF is that the AI are far more aggressive, and the tweak to achieve this takes about thirty seconds...
