New and nearly helpless

[vschoell]

Hello gentlemen,

 

I'm very new for First eagles 2 (downloaded yesterday)and i'm on the search for all of this wonderful made mods. So i have some questions cause i can't find sometimes the pathes and directions and so on.

(be nice with me cause i'm new )

 

1.) for example i've downloaded the new terrain (17.Feb 2010). But i can't find a "terrain" folder. There's just a "terrains" folder in thirdwire\firsteagles2\

Where do i have to put the extracted zip. I've copied it now in the firsteagles2\ directory but nothing happens.

 

2.) I've downloaded some new aircrafts (Alb. DI., Fokker E.I-III) I can't hear any engine sound.

3.) I've doawnloaded the "Guitarclassic55's Replacement Menu Screens" copied all in Menu and Flight. Nothing happened. The old screens displayed.

 

Which mods can i use with firsteagles2 ? is there a difference ?

 

Sorry for the stupid questions but i really don't know anything about FE2.

For FE2 and the entire Third Wire Series 2 games, the mods do not go in the game directory. They go into your User directory, for WinXP under "My Documents" and for Vista/Seven there's a "Saved Games" where you can find Thirdwire/FirstEagles.

 

So for Terrains on Vista, it's C:\Username\My Documents\My Saved Games\Thirdwire\FirstEagles2\Terrains if I'm correct.

 

Some mods will work, some won't. I'm not a modder so can't be more specific.

I'm in the same boat as vschoell. Bought yesterday FE2 and I want to try some mods.

I don't like the sounds, so that's probably the first one to try.

It's a great idea having mods installed in a different folder from the main one.
