Can Not Get New Add-on Planes Installed into Strike Fighters 2

[spn]

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

Start right here:

In short, all mods are now kept in a completely seperate directory from the Strike Fighters 2 install.

I guess this is the biggest mistake most people make.

Previous post describes the solution.

Thank you. I would not have even began to know where to find this information to start off with.

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.

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 <-------------------------

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.

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.
