Can You Help Me Get Started?

[Chutedangle]

I have decided to try the WWII SF2 here at CombatAce.

Trouble is, I don't have a clue as to how to get started.

I have SF2Israel and Europe on my machine.

If someone could tell me how to go about getting the WWII

going as far as what I need to load up first I would be most

grateful.

 

Thanks for any help.

well you may have to change the cat pointer in the terrain that you choose. also adjust the years in the options ini so you can fly from 39-45.

 

beyond that d/l the terrain for where you want to fly and the aircraft you want to populate it.

here is a tutorial by Wrench on how to change up your cat pointer,

so long as you dont want a naval fight you should be ok.  carrier action you need at least SF2V, though NA would be a better choice. i dont think you can fly carrier mission without one of those two

 

i suspect the Ancient One will correct where i might be wrong here, but thats what i got

Just one more stupid question...ya right!

Where do the bad guys come from (AI)?

As of right now I don't see any.

On mainscreen where you choose a\c   look down for enemy activity and select what you prefer.

That would work if there were enemy planes (AI) to begin with.

The problem is I have downloaded no AI planes, so the question

is, how do I get enemy planes into the game?

wait, you build a WW2 install, and DIDN'T add any Axis aircraft???? Of course they're not going to show up...

 

our ww2 downloads section has quite a few (unfortunately, even more only available from the DAT site), but should be enough to get you started (again, depending on which theatre you're operating in

Start looking here: http://combatace.com/files/category/495-german-origin/

And Here: http://combatace.com/files/category/496-japanese-origin/

 

Find the axis aircraft you'd like and start installing them. With more specifics about what install you'd like, we can give you more specific suggestions.

 

The Bf-109s by RussoUK and MontyCZ are spectacular. Highly recommended. Same for the Jack by Veltro2K and the Tojo by Geo. Just beautiful models.
