it would be nice, but im not sure if he would go through the hassle esp if TW got snooty about that (even with intent to send them the money)

Forgot about that, yeah he'd have to work out some kinda plan or something, thanks.

I need to find my latest SF2 Thirdwire executable file. I’m sure I have it somewhere, but you guys are making me feel a bit anxious. 

i was gonna ask "what the one from July 2013?" as a joke.

but then i realized theres the all in one package, and didnt remember when that came out

then realized the sites down so i cant see when it came out

oof.

nah go ahead and ask. we're at no right now, so worst case after asking is to still be no. but he might surprise us

Yeah I don't think he talks to TK but I'll bring it up in the Staff forum.

Figures, I buy a fresh copy after being away for nearly 20 years and the site goes down a month later

The truly sad thing is I think SF3 would be a day one buy for a lot of folks. Updated graphics, current generation avionics, keep the mod friendly design.......... 

I'm in.

Latest word from Erik is pretty much a wait and see, he mentioned that TK might be going to Steam, so we'll see on putting the stuff here then.

SF2 hasnt been his favorite child for over a decade

and theres often enough blow back to the changes he made over the years at the time that they happened) that i can understand why he doesnt share

every update between the release of North Atlantic and his final patch in july 13 was met with probably more complaints than compliments

"the missiles are too strong" "the missiles are too weak" "the latest patch broke my mods" "why did you make this DLC, the one at CA is better" etc etc etc.

we (the modding community at large) have had SF2's back for the last 15 years

i totally understand but come on he can man-up and just say something, anything. he doesn't have to be radio silent. because SF2 isn't his favorite child , he does not need to punish the community.

i have over 188 gb of saved SF2 stuff including all my saved Thirdwire download .exe's. so barring a hard drive failure on the 6TB drive i'm golden for now. I just don't understand TK's mentality at all in regards to Ghosting everyone and his SF2 creation.

It's a long sordid story with him and the Strike Fighters series, I mean there's always some kind of drama going on honestly. And he just doesn't like to tell us.

Well I sure hope the website returns or they do end up on Steam because the external I had my installers on corrupted. Oof
