newbie question on 5th column NATO mods

[jet_spud 0]

hi everybody - first post on this forum;

 

i've just discovered the thirdwire combat flight sims, been a hardened il-2 series fanatic but fancied a change in aircraft type and game engine. so got FE, WOV and WOE.

 

fortunately had only installed FE when i discovered the column 5 website as a link here, wow! have downloaded all 4 NATO expansions for WOE, then upon reading the manual with WOE it said that WOV and WOE can be installed and combined into one game WOV first then WOE second.

 

but the NATO 1,2,3 & 4 advice only mentioins adding these free expansions to WOE? before i start installing should i keep the 2 games apart or can the NATO expansions be added to a combineds install of WOV-WOE?

 

thanks.

Do a sep install of WOE and add NATO fighters. It will keep your stress level down. Trust me.

you mean keep WOV and WOE as two seperate games as i thought, should i also do a copy of SOE as well in case of problems with the freebies from column 5methinks? or are they problem free? thanks.

NATO Fighters should be a totally sep install. It has everything you need. Then have another copy for your other 3rd party add ons.

Strike Fighters 2 Europe

 

 

gotcha - SF2 E is primarily for vista users to stop them going ga-ga trying to run it! thanks.

 

i've installed WOE now i think i need to patch it, i've got v08.30.06. presume just the latest available patch will do as they're normally cumultive right?
