Updated ReadMe 13 Mar 2013

 

Strike Fighters 2: War For Israel V3.0 + Sandbox = 11 Gigs

 

Campaign For SF2:Israel with SF2:North Atlantic. or

SF2,SF2:E,SF2:V,SF2:NA with SF2:Israel Merged Install.

 

Campaigns incuded are "War For Israel" "ClubMed '82"

and "ClubMed '97". Korea and Taiwan will be addons to this

as they depend on North Atlantic.

 

Campaigns now have Carrier Group support.

More aircraft added and new cockpits for F/A-18's and F-16's.

 

//==========================================================

 

If you want to use the "New World Order" Nations Scenario in

the Single Missions mode, Drop the Nations.ini from one of

the Campaign Dir's into the Flight Dir in the User Mod but

keep a backup.

 

//==========================================================

 

To Install:

Make a copy of "StrikeFighters2 Israel.exe" and

"StrikeFighters2 Israel.ini" and rename them to

"StrikeFighters2 WarForIsrael.exe" and

"StrikeFighters2 WarForIsrael.ini" put them back into the

Program files Thirdwire Folder, then run the

StrikeFighters2 WarForIsrael.exe once and go to the Users

Mod folder it created eg:

...Saved Games\ThirdWire\StrikeFighters2 WarForIsrael\

and delete the contents of the Aircraft and GroundObject

Folders. Extract StrikeFighters2 WarForIsrael Part1 thru Part5

installers into the same Folder and run the Installers and

point them to the Saved Game folder "StrikeFighters2 WarForIsrael"

User Mod Root Directory.

 

NOTE:

The Campaigns in this Mod can take a while to load. I have a descent System

War For Israel can take 2 or more minutes to load. Also if the campaign dumps

restart and it should load ok.

More or less jeanba, The Club Med Campaigns are really just battles during time periods in the region. I'm planning to release more campaigns as addons, and a full Israel vs Lebanon

was one i wanted to release. I've tried to have as much aircraft and ground objects as i could included in this mod to cover from the 1970's to Present day so that Single Missions and

Campaigns could easily be addon. That's also why i refered to it as a Sandbox Mod.

Spectre8750,

 

sorry but I think I wasted few hours trying to make it working,

 

it just CTDs after the splash screen, installed as per readme, I'm at loss :sad:

 

everything other works flawlessly on my system: W7 64 bit, 8 GB ram, GF 560Ti, up to date drivers etc, any other sf install works, this one refuses to launch

also browsing the installation I found out that Mig-15 has older version of the cockpit... tell me what's the point of not including the updated one?

 

generally Spectre8750 I suggest you test your full-pack installations better before uploading in the future :bye:

I have tested it. Not sure why you're having this problem. Could you tell me what the file count and size is in your install? I will include the New Cockpit in an update. Been so busy i overlooked it.

Thanks for the info.

also don't forget I did PFU cockpit too!

 

it's over 11 GB, so it's all there, structure is ok so I honestly have no idea what causes that CTD :dntknw:

several times, then trew out some folders like flight, effects, menu to try again... nogo,

ok, I nailed it

 

it's one of the MENU folder items, my bet is on one of .ini files, I renamed MENU to xMENU and it works so far, now if I could narrow it to which .ini causes that... and now I recollect I had the very same issue on older system with one of yours Modern Warfare installs I think it was Korea

edit:

 

still, not working, CTDs after clicking on Flight, both Campaign and single missions, tested on IsraelME map aswell as Desert and GermanyCE ones, several planes from several periods (to check if some ground object might be conflicting etc)

Is anyone else having this problem or any success running the Single Missions or Campaigns?

Also forgot to mention in the ReadMe which i will update, that you need to edit the Mods Option.ini "EndYear=" as fallows:

AircraftType=MiG-17F

Service=Soviet

MissionMap=ISRAELME

MissionType=SWEEP

soo... I made some progress, in fact found a solution to the issues I have had -I had tiny leftovers dlls from Sweet FX DirectX plugin in my main installation folder (not the mod installation one, but game core one) that was causing the CTDs with this mod,

 

I think case solved, sorry for yesterdays bitching, I was pissed after few hours of battling with it :heat:

well done, I never thought shooting down a reaper would be quite a challenge. Soviet missiles on the flankers dont work :biggrin:

 

I do wish we have a tail hook on them flankers. otherwise great job i just imagine the nightmares of putting all that stuff together.

Okay having fun with this apart from War for Israel threw me a wobbly on the 2nd mission... with the USAF F-35A I had a Royal Navy battlegroup steaming on land next to my airbase in Red Colours... interesting take off... getting shot at by a full battlegroup...

 

Win7

April 2012 Update

 

Also there is a problem in Med 82 when you select the FA-18A it parks you on the USS Pelieu and then crashes the game out...

 

Everything else runs fine...

I will confirm this second mission of the F-35A got shot down by the royal Navy on land as taking off lol.

Having an odd issue with this one, Was able to play the first mission in a Club Med 82 campaign with the USN opperating the F-14A(82) just fine, but now the game crashes at about 70% on the loading screen. As per the crash report

One note, I did deviate from the Read me a bit, and based by EXE/INI's off of a copied SF2 NA.exe, not a SFT:Isrel.exe. I also applied the fix you mentioned to the single mission settings a on the last page. No joy :(

 

Could using the SF2NA.EXE be my issue? Seems odd it would work one misson, and now crash out on another...

 

 

PS: The one mission I did get to play was awesome! Thanks for this!

As an update, I was able to do the War For Israel defense campaign in an F/A-18E without any CTD's. On the second mission however, both the US and OPFOR fleets were basically intermingled and in active conflict. I was locked up as soon as my wheels left the deck, lol. I'm guessing this is more bug than feature?

      Hi everyone,
      I recently got into weapon modding and wanted to edit some missiles.
      I went for the Weapons Folder with the Weapons Editor, and some weapons were missing, even tho i can see them and equip them in-game.
      I wanted to edit the AA-2D Atoll for my Su-22M3, but there's no AA-2 folder inside Weapons folder, nor inside plane folder, even tho the missile is equippable and i can see it/use it in-game.
      Since there's no Atoll folder, i have no idea how is it possible for me to have it in-game, and even less i know on how am i supposed to edit it through Weapons Editor, since i can't select the folder.
      I thought it may be a sort of "built-in-game" missile and for this reason not showing in weapons folder (idk i just made an hypothesis).
      So i tried using the CAT Extractor, but seems like not working... no matter which CAT file i select, it says "error opening this .CAT file, no files can be extracted", how's that? How do i fix it? Am i doing something wrong?
      Thank you in advance for helping me fixing all these issues or helping me find what i'm doing wrong

      I am new to this game but I am loving it and the dynamic campaign is amazing. my only and only problem is that planes just dissapear in the distance, literally just dissapear a short distance a way, around 200 - 500 meters away? not too sure but its very off putting and its clearly an issue for gameplay.
      I am using Patch July 2013 
      Wings over Korea mod
      I play on 3840x2160 4K resolution (I'd prefer playing on that) I have extracted the flightengine ini into SF2 Filght folder as well as to the korea folder and made some changes like turned off fade away and increased mesh values, but still to no avail? Anyway to fix this? Its literally the only thing destroying the fun I have with this game.

      Hi,
      after seeing the TMF F-14 has wrong and inaccurate speed and fuel indicators, i found out the default Third Wire F-14 has working and accurate ones, but i dont wanna use it cause the TMF Tomcat is better and the cockpit too more realistic too, so can you switch the speed and fuel indicators on the TMF F-14 with the default Third Wire F-14? And for fuel too? Do you need to 3D model and/or do something else other than edit some text files?
       And is it or it's not possible to do?
      Down here are 2 pictures from the correct cockpit in the default Third Wire F-14:


      And 2 from the TMF F-14 (the inaccurate one):


       
      Thanks for helping.

      Hi everyone,
      I was wondering how to customize the numbers after your callsigns, since it always gives me the same ones.
      I think i managed somehow once, a bit of time ago, but now i forgot and have no idea how to.
      I'm not talking about how to customize the callsign name, but the unit number after it.
      As you can see in the Roster and in the picture under, i get "Fast Eagle 1-1" and "Fast Eagle 1-2"
      Here are some examples:


      The numbers on the tail, wing and nose numbers are customized, cause i managed how to change them, choosing them individually for each unit in the mission file by changing "AircraftNumber=" and typing the number, like "2" (as for 202). It doesn't change by typing the whole number tho, like 202 by typing 202, but it goes by typing the number that corresponds to the list of numbers you have. For example, In a list that goes from 200 to 400, you will have to type 10 to get 300. Here i just typed "2" and "7" since the list starts from 200


      IIRC, in the past i just used to type the Aircaft number just like that, and in-game i had the proper number after the callsign, like "Fast Eagle 102", not just the number displayed on the plane livery.
      How do i do? I'm pretty sure that it's possible to have "Fast Eagle 102" on my screen HUD and in the Roster
      Thanks in advance for helping me.

      NOTE:
      - Stock TW squadron decals are used but with more detailed higher resolution versions that have panel lines and rivets etc for the Isreali Airforce Kurnass squadrons: 69, 105, 107, 119 & 201

      - Some texture folder names may seem unusual but it is to create continuity to avoid the bug that stops an aircraft upgrading during a campaign if the texture folder names don't match.
      NOTE:
      - There were multiple separate F-4E deliveries prior to the 1973 war and due to the variations in the Blocks all sorts of different configurations of ECM antenna, strike camera, slats/ flaps, 'slime' lights,  MIDAS4 etc. Not to mention local upgrades of 'slime' lights, MIDAS4 muzzle mods and slat instillations. Now throw in the Operation Nickle Grass emergency aid ex USAF aircraft during the war! I have rounded them all up into the first three in-game variants below:
