spn Posted March 22, 2010 Posted March 22, 2010 (edited) I recently purchased Strike Fighters 2 thinking I could install add on planes the same was as with the original versions of the Thirdwire games. I have attempted to install planes designated for the series 2 installed and the game (Strike Fighters 2) does not recognize them. They will not show up in the list of planes that can be selected when the game is running. Is there a new trick to getting the game to recognize them??????? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Edited March 22, 2010 by Wrench Quote

jomni Posted March 22, 2010 Posted March 22, 2010 I recently purchased Strike Fighters 2 thinking I could install add on planes the same was as with the original versions of the Thirdwire games. I guess this is the biggest mistake most people make. Previous post describes the solution. Quote

FC Thank you. I would not have even began to know where to find this information to start off with. Quote
jomni Posted March 22, 2010 Posted March 22, 2010 (edited) That's right. Even in the official TW website, that info burried in the forums (not stickied). I guess everyone should just check out the CA Knowledge Base once in a while. Edited March 22, 2010 by jomni Quote

Aussie7734 Posted December 18, 2013 Posted December 18, 2013 THANKS! This has pointed me in the right direction but my planes still dont show up :( Quote
MigBuster Posted December 18, 2013 Posted December 18, 2013 Assume you are referring to something downloaded from here? Double check you have put it in the right place C:\Users\<>\Saved Games\ThirdWire\StrikeFighters2\Objects\Aircraft\EF-4C make sure this line is in the main .ini for the jet at the top [AircraftData] AircraftFullName=EF-4C Wild Weasel IV AircraftShortName=EF-4 AircraftDataFile=EF-4C_data.ini CockpitDataFile=EF-4C_cockpit.ini <------------------------- Quote
Aussie7734 Posted December 19, 2013 Posted December 19, 2013 I have managed to get the buccaner to work but the victor & vulcan dont seam to unpack properly and TSR 2 wont even unpack at all. I will perservere as i only got the game for its brit. bomber mods :) ( Strike fighters 2 ) thx for help and advice. Quote
MigBuster Posted December 19, 2013 Posted December 19, 2013 Can you provide links to exactly what you are trying to download - I would say some of them need the model files from another site. Quote
Aussie7734 Posted December 19, 2013 Posted December 19, 2013 I think it was a download problem as I have just flown 1st succesful strike mission in the TSR 2 :) after redownloading the files. Many thanks for your advice time and patience. Quote
