Got my copy of Strike Fighters Gold. Some questions

[+Stary]

Happy to say i got my copy of SFG today. What are the differences between this version and "basic" Strike Fighters? It has A-4F. Any differences in terrain file? My point is -I have different installs of Wings over Vietnam (basic, Israeli, PAW, KAW) and in those installs im using terrain .cat file from WoV. If i swap them (not Nam of course) with preffered SFG desert.cat, will it smash my installs in any way? I mean campaign progress mostly. Or they are equal in content (terrain objects etc) after WoE-level patch?

 

Thanks for any info

There's not much difference between SFG and the normal SF except that SFG has two more campaigns and has no C-130 and F-104 due to problems with Lockheed Martin.

The F-104G is a both offical and third party mod, TW has one and Ajundar has created the whole family of F-104s. Both are available here, but I think that the F-104 comes with SP4 (correct me if I'm wrong)

The C-130 isn't available officially, but you can extract it from you .cat file or download the C-130J here. All of the C-130A skins work with it and it has flares, chaff, and an animated cargo bay.

There is a comparison chart at column5's site here: http://www.column5.us/sfchart.htm that tells the differences.

If you want to swap desert.cat files, AFAIK, there's no difference, but I don't have SFG (only SFP1 and WoV) so I don't know.

Have fun!

Jtin thank you for detailed info.

 

I am now going to patch my copy to latest patch -will see about Starfighter. I dll it for WoV long ago from TW main site. ABout swapping terrain files -gonna extract both terrains (SFG and WOV) and compare -there is some interesting stuff hidden inside afaik. And the Marcenary campaign (just flew two missions moment ago) is an addictive thing. Being bad-good boy. F-16 Agressor and eternally gold Strike Commander comes to my mind.

There's a tread over at SimHQ about using the BLU-82 from the weaponspack in the C-130: http://www.simhq.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cg...45;t=001188;p=2

I've pondered about the idea of making a target with a couple of trees and you have to destroy those trees with the daisy cutter to make an LZ. Then again, it's an idea.
