new sp2e skyhawks dont work help please

[manlyman564 0]

hello

I'll try and explain this the best I can.

 

I just downloaded the 2 Skyhawks by james fox for sfp2e. I nstalled them, and they dont work. He says I need lod files from SF2:V Skyhawks.

He suggested for me to buy SF2:V to get them to make these skyhawk mods work. I really dont want to have to buy SF2:V to get these LOD files from 3rdWird Skyhawk from SF2:V.

 

Is there any way i can get the necessary LOD files? James Fox says with the lod files from later SF2:V Skyhawks these new mods I just downloaded will work. Or I guess I can't use them. Does anybody have the SF2V Skyhawks and could you send the files, or do i just not use these new skyhawk mods

 

thanks

As stated elsewhere, the LOD files are ONLY avaiable with SF2:V. You now have several choices:

 

1) save up and get SF2:V or

2) delete these new ones or

3) store these files somewhere's until you've got SF2:V

 

Now, secondly, what you're asking is considerd piracy -- sharing core game files. That is MAJORLY frowned upon -especially here at CA. A VERY BAD THING. Something that is not even discussed. People have had very bad things happen to them -suspensions, and even banning. So, consider this a warning about file sharing. Don't do it, and don't ask for it, mmmkay? :yes:

 

And the gods sake, can you PLEASE learn to type? Add some punctuation and paragraphs??? If we can't make out what being asked, we can't help!!! Thank you!!

The A-4F and A-4F_74 are located in the ObjectData003 in your Objects folder. You will need to extract the ObjectData003 with the SF2 CatPak utility available in the CombatAce downloads section.

[Wrench 9,733]

First off, my apologies for my comments. I wasn't aware of the issues.

 

No extraction is necessay; if James' main ini is pointing to those lods, the game engine will automatically find them. Just like in the Classic Series, all the stock birds don't have lods in their main folder, either.

 

So, once SF2V is installed, you should look in the (well, for me in XP),

 

MyDocument/*yourusername*/ThirdWire/StrikeFighters2

 

(don't worry if it says SF2 -- all the goodies are elsewhere, in the /ProgramFiles -- we don't have to touch those main or core files again)

The pathway is similar for Vista -- most definately check the SF2 Knowledge Base up above in the Main Knowledge Base Forum. Just about all the "stuff" is covered.

 

You open that folder (SF2) and you'll see it's pretty much the same as the Classic or TOS folder set up. You drop the new aircraft folder in the /Aircraft main folder and off you go. Well, pretty much. If there's any custom decals, they'll need to be moved (see the SF2 KB for details)

 

here's the links to the main SF2 KB -- I disremember exactly WHICH post has all the instructions, but it's there somewheres! I swear it is!!!

ps: I don't think I got the pm, btw

But if you already have SF2V, then skyhawks can be played in SF2E when the install is merged.
