NATO Fighters IV+: Post-Dec2009 Update Pack # 2

-----------------------------------------------

 

This package contains a second update pack for the NATO Fighters IV+ (NF4+) add-on designed for "Strike Fighters 2: Europe" (SF2E) from ThirdWire. It does several things:

 

1) Updates the NF4+ add-on to make full use of SF2's

new radar, ECM, ARM, and ECM pod capabilities.

 

2) Adds a number of new aircraft and ground objects.

 

3) Adds several new textures to existing aircraft.

 

4) Adds or updates over 100 weapons and guns.

 

5) Fixes or updates numerous other files in the

original NF4+ mod.

 

This update pack should be applied to SF2E/NF4+ installations that are patched to the Dec2009 or later patch level -- including Feb2010, Mar2010, May2010, or Jun2010 -- and that already have the first update pack applied. If you are running SF2E at the Jun2009b patch level and do NOT intend to update to one of the later patch levels mentioned above, you should NOT apply this update pack.

Installation of this update is simple: copy the contents of the \To_Mod_Folder directory to your SF2E Mod Folder, overwriting as prompted.

 

Please note: This update does install revised campaign files for the 1979 campaign. If you are in the middle of a 1979 campaign, the new files will break your campaign. You can either delete your in-progress campaign or hold off on installing the new campaign files until you have finished your current campaign.

Does this over-write any of the campaign or terrain files that were added in the separate F-14/carrier NF4+ update?

 

Any chance of merging the two so one isn't overwriting the other?
