"Strike Fighters 2 is an update of our best selling jet air-combat series Strike Fighters to run on Windows Vista."

[ArturR 17]

...no Starfighter, no Thud :cray: and avionics looks like untouched

[+Brain32 265]

By the look of screenshots cockpits are updated...

[Gr.Viper 131]

RWR screen looks different

[+streakeagle 871]

Did you see the cockpit textures? My hi-res mods for the F-4 may have just become mostly obsolete!

You can see at least 3 different F-4 pits in the screenshots and the hi-res skins look great too.

Look at the F-4E, it has the short gun muzzle, maybe even the hard wing with no slats?

Strike Fighters and its 3d models are being brought up to the WoI graphics standard.

 

It is already on sale and I have already bought it.

Will install it and play later tonight... I am late for work now.

Flyables are 9 versions of the A-4, 12 versions of the F-4 and a lone F-100D

Phantoms all have their correct look, e.g. RWR antennas, slats, short/long gun housing. etc and the cockpits are all different too

Same goes for the A-4 series.

 

Flyable list

[Gr.Viper 131]

Is merc mode working?

[+streakeagle 871]

It is a shame the F-104G could not still be in this package :(

[+Muesli 2,161]

I just bought it..... go TK!

[+Dave 2,322]

This maybe what resparks my interest. Anymore details on whats in it?

[+Dave 2,322]

$19.99

[+Stary 2,427]

Not much new here -opinion based purely on screens...

 

I like the look of revamped cockpits

[+76.IAP-Blackbird 3,557]

Is it just an update for SF?? Or a whole new game?

[Gr.Viper 131]

Blackbird, it's a new game. TK's been giving us quite a lot for free way too long

 

Are those more detailed fins on those Snakeyes?

It seems that all ordnance got at least a texture impovement... Look at pod muzzles http://www.thirdwire.com/images/sf2_10.jpg

yep...

 

it has

+ new cockpits for for A-4/F-4

+ some updated avionics ( proper RWR with strobes and threat lights and other stuff )

+ most bombs and other external stores are new with higher detail and new textures and some new stores ( Mk 4 and SUU-11 gunpods )

 

- no F-104G

- no multiplayer

[Gr.Viper 131]

no multiplayer

Wha...??

Well, at least there won't be any more questions about that.

[+76.IAP-Blackbird 3,557]

looks for me like a small testbed for a upcoming game and a cashcow for TK, but still looks good!

I hope the testbed will turn success for TK

 

no multiplayer? no comment

At $19.99 it will hardly be a cash cow. Its simply the SFP1 game brought up to date with some new features, textures, updated cockpits, etc. Its also designed to be compatible with Vista's new file paths.

 

Also note that TK tossed in the Hunter and Mirage V as AI planes.

[kct 5]

Oh God.

 

THREE versions of the F-4E alone? This sounds more than awesome.

[+Crusader 2,101]

MiG-23BN, MF and MS are also included

 

Skypats cat extractor isnt working , perhaps there are some changes to the archives.
