Question about series 2.

[irati]

I'm planning to buy one of the SF2 games probably Israel, i have series 1 sfp1, Wov, and Woe and i'm only going to buy one of the GEN2 games. Is it possible to copy the necessary files from the gen1 games to gen2 and use the terrians, planes and campaigns or do you have to get the other gen2 games?

I know you have to edit the planes _data.ini file but what exactly has to be changed?

How much time have you got????

 

98.6% of all aircraft releaed before the 2008 patch will require completly new flight models. OF those released post-2008, a majority of THEM need FM re-tuning. Most will be flyable, to some extent, but not to the 'limits of performance'.

 

campaigns only work for the terrain they're built for

 

If you can only get one, get either SF2 or SF2:E, as many -read most- of the terrains require either the desert or germany terrain cats to reference. Although, there ARE many terrains that need the VNSEA, too.

 

as to useing old, original terrain cats, you'll have to pull the data inis from EACH of them, and make the necessary modifications as outlined in my tutorial on the subjec in the SF2 Knowledge Base.

It's doable, and will bring them fairly close to SF2 stock standards.
