Hubertus Posted December 23, 2008 Posted December 23, 2008 Ohh man, 20$ for this?:/ I'll not pay 20$ for a "Vista patch":/ Quote
+column5 Posted December 23, 2008 Posted December 23, 2008 Ohh man, 20$ for this?:/ I'll not pay 20$ for a "Vista patch":/ Did you not read the posts in this thread? This is more than a Vista patch. Its up to you whether the enhancements are worth $20, but for those who never bought SFP1 its a nice deal. Quote
sparkomatic Posted December 23, 2008 Posted December 23, 2008 Looks good... this just in: "Microsoft has been unsuccessful in weaning users from Windows XP and persuading them to upgrade to Windows Vista. As of the end of November, for example, Vista's market share was 20.5%, while XP's was three times greater, accounting for 66.3% of all computers that went online during the month." how bad does Vista suck if M$ has to admit that it sucks? have it, hate it, period...

+column5 Posted December 23, 2008 Posted December 23, 2008 This isn't a bash Vista thread. Let's keep on the topic at hand. Quote
Panama Red Posted December 23, 2008 Posted December 23, 2008 I'm guessing that the Lockheed C-130 Hercules and F-104 Starfighter were dropped from SF2 because TK would no longer have to pay Lockheed licence fees like he had to do for having them in SF1. Quote

Those who have the original SFP1 can apply the current patch, which updates the F-104 flight model to current standards, and then transplant to SF2. Should be pretty easy. Quote
+76.IAP-Blackbird Posted December 23, 2008 Posted December 23, 2008 This is hte same prob like in the il2 series and the reason for a not included "Grumman" Avenger into the game. It`s not the plane modell it`S the name wich is under copyright and licensed. You can have a C-130 "military designation" ingame but not a Lockheed C-130 don`t know about the Name Hercules who gave it to this bird but this is the fact I know so far Quote

Should be pretty easy. Hi C5! I have it installed, but I can't figure out how to add objects, campaigns and terrains in this game. The structure is all different and I tested it by adding a plane and that doesn't work. In the basis it is very interesting 'coz there are more versions of the familiar planes. With advice I hope to get it running in a way so that I can import all additions I have (about 80 GB...) Someone brilliant to help me/us? Muesli Quote
+76.IAP-Blackbird Posted December 23, 2008 Posted December 23, 2008 Mh, ok you are right, you are the taxpayers! ...so why not use only the military "pentagon" designation? The company doesn`t matter (if they use such copyright politics and criple gamedevelopers) who need them? nobody.... Wish you all a nice X-mas and a lot of presents from X-man!!!!! Quote
+Gr.Viper Posted December 23, 2008 Posted December 23, 2008 Where do screenshots go? Camera clicks but I can't find the folder. Oh, wait. Found it. MyDocs/Thirdwire Quote

+Gr.Viper Posted December 23, 2008 Posted December 23, 2008 Add-ons go into a My Documents folder BUT in options.ini there there's a line allowing to set up a different mod directory. Love new afterburners (they look cool) and new RWR. It can actually tell an air threat from a ground one like in Fubar's mod. Quote
eraser_tr Posted December 23, 2008 Posted December 23, 2008 I'll be holding off until modularity with future content is confirmed and that everything from all the past versions work. I'll eventually get all the "new" versions so the future content (like suez and whatever he's clearly making but hasn't told us details of yet) can all fit together. And of course how to edit where **** goes so I don't have everything in C:\my documents. Damn microsoft and their policies! Quote
+Gr.Viper Posted December 23, 2008 Posted December 23, 2008 Damn microsoft and their policies! Well, make your own rules in options.ini [Mods]ModsEnabled=TRUE Directory=C:\Documents and Settings\***\My Documents\ThirdWire\StrikeFighters2 It would be interesting to install several of these next-gen TW sims when they're out and make one mod folder for all. Sort of merged mod install. Quote
tflash Posted December 23, 2008 Posted December 23, 2008 This really is a Xmas bargain! I find it very nice in particular to have a re-release of Strike Fighters, since that was the first Flightsim I ever bought. Since then, I must have almost anything that flies on a PC, but SF still has this special meaning to me! The Phantoms are truly superb, and I got myself in a staggering uncontrolled spin right away, so the flight models have greatly improved. Quote
malibu43 Posted December 23, 2008 Posted December 23, 2008 Interested and waiting to see if WoV and WoE get any sort of similar revamp. Quote
+76.IAP-Blackbird Posted December 23, 2008 Posted December 23, 2008 I think yes, every sim from TK was updated to a standart! Quote
+GrinchWSLG Posted December 23, 2008 Posted December 23, 2008 Anybody try out the Mercenary Campaign yet? I'd like to know if there were any changes there. Quote
+Gr.Viper Posted December 23, 2008 Posted December 23, 2008 Did everyone notice that F-100D model now has a retractable tail skid? If only this truck flew as nicely as it looks... I'd like to know if there were any changes there. You pay for aircraft and ordnance, you get paid for completing missions and killing stuff. Quote
+Crusader Posted December 23, 2008 Author Posted December 23, 2008 TK opened a new SF2 support forum http://bbs.thirdwire.com/phpBB/viewforum.php?f=26 He also posted a FAQ to give a quick overview: http://bbs.thirdwire.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?p=36529#p36529 Quote
+column5 Posted December 23, 2008 Posted December 23, 2008 The version comparison chart has been updated as well: http://www.column5.us/sfchart.htm Quote
Sakai Posted December 23, 2008 Posted December 23, 2008 (edited) I will probably wait to get this, with all the mods I have on a WOV/WOE install it seems like a shame to let them all go. I hope the mod thing is figured out. It looks really good though. And I have always wanted SF...... EDIT: LOL, wish I had read the FAQ first.........off to put cash on my debit card IN 2 FEET OF SNOW!!!! Edited December 23, 2008 by Sakai Quote
sugarblues Posted December 23, 2008 Posted December 23, 2008 ...as I said a couple of days ago, if TK makes it, I'll buy it. Bought it, installed it in my XP rig, downloaded Novembers DX 9 update, and took a Scooter for a spin. Nice cockpit... 20 bucks well spent in my book, but to my tiny mind, that's a tiny price to pay for all the enjoyment I get out of Wo*... A nice Christmas present! SB Quote
+Gr.Viper Posted December 23, 2008 Posted December 23, 2008 off to put cash on my debit card IN 2 FEET OF SNOW!!!! You too? I walked half an hour in -6 C and light snow and icy streets to put cash on my card and then dragged myself back. Quote
