Sokol, you have up-to-date game? Also, check in the unmodded installation not in specific one if you have multiple

which DLCs??? don't forget the last 2 pack were AI-only aircraft, and therefore "invisible" to the player (unless may player-flyable)

Hi all

thx for your answers.

 

i run an updated version of the multiple install (july 2013).

 

dlc: yes, it's the 2 ai-packages. i want to make these aircraft fylable, to do new repaints etc., which is part of the fun of this sim. that is why i need to locate them, but i can't ;-(

have you looked in the /Aircraft folder?

 

That's where you'll find them.....

hi Wrench

 

no, there is nothing new to see / find

hi Wrench

 

no, there is nothing new to see / find

Not even a basic aircraft folder with a single .ini ?

 

It probably means you've installed them to the wrong place.

 

Regardless of that you will need to extract the DLC cats to get at all the skins, decals and ini's. I can get at mine using this path (but ymmv);

hi spinner

 

thx for the reply.

 

i see the default aircraft as usual, but no sign of the new aircraft (su-9 for example).

there is a folder "dlc" in the main sf-directory which contains 2 dlc-files, however. how do i extract them ?

Get yourself the Third Wire Strike Fighters 2 CAT File Extractor
