All I can see are the default SF2 campaigns. I followed the install instructions to the letter and I have a full merged install with NA and both the Expansion Packs.

if ya have followed the steps u shouldn't be able to see the default campaigns anymore (but instead the korean campaigns, so at least 2 things gone wrong)!... Plz recheck the steps.

 

 

5. Mod specific .ini configs

 

a. In your SF2 installation directory where all the game .exe resides, make a copy of StrikeFighters2 Israel.ini (or any other similar ini) and rename it StrikeFighters2 Korea.ini. Open the newly created .ini and find the following:

 

[Directory]

...

CampaignsDirectory=Campaigns

...

 

And change it to:

 

CampaignsDirectory=C:\Users\[username]\Saved Games\ThirdWire\StrikeFighters2 Korea\Campaigns\

 

*Please do not just copy paste this line but replace [username] with whatever’s set on your PC.

 

This step is to prevent stock campaigns from displaying which can sometimes cause problems.

Yep, already did that:

 

[Directory]
SystemDirectory=Core
MenuDirectory=Menu
MissionControlDirectory=Flight
FlightDirectory=Flight
ObjectDirectory=Objects
TerrainDirectory=Terrains
SoundDirectory=Sounds
SpeechDirectory=Speech
ControlDirectory=Controls
ScreenShotsDirectory=ScreenShots
MissionsDirectory=Missions
CampaignsDirectory=C:\Users\corey\Saved Games\ThirdWire\StrikeFighters2 Korea\Campaigns
PilotDataDirectory=PilotData
NetCacheDirectory=NetCache
 
The only thing I can think of is that the space is causing issues with the filepath?

uhm, do u see any default campaigns in your "C:\Users\corey\Saved Games\ThirdWire\StrikeFighters2 Korea\Campaigns" directory... -> obviously there should be none but only the addon korean campaigns. so why are u seeing the default campaigns in game? obviously this doesn't connect! check typos/name mismatches/file path errors.

Ok, got it figured. It was a filepath problem -- the space in "StrikeFighters2 Korea" was causing the issue: C:\Users\corey\Saved Games\ThirdWire\StrikeFighters2 Korea\Campaigns

 

I changed the application name and corresponding directory to "StrikeFighters2Korea" (oneword) and the campaigns are showing up now: C:\Users\corey\Saved Games\ThirdWire\StrikeFighters2Korea\Campaigns

 

Hopefully this will help out someone else if they have the same issue.

 

Thanks again.

I have 2 Issues as of now, My game is still crashing at 80% when I try to load a single mission or campaign on the korean terrain  however If I use the Israel terrain it loads just fine. The 2nd occures when I try to use any carrier-borne plane and look at the map it doesn't show the carrier group and it also shows my squadron in the very bottom left.

make sure korean terrain ini is looking for the proper .cat file...

like so..

this is my Korea3 entry  ignore commented out lines.

//CatFile=..\Desert\Desert.cat
CatFile=GermanyCE.cat
//CatFile=..\VietnamSEA\VietnamSEA.cat

Guys, none of your suggestions can solve the issues this user is having. First of all, by the screenshots I see, the user only has got SF2 Israel, while the KAW mod requires at least SF2 Vietnam and SF2 Europe as well. First of all, it requires SF2 Europe, because the Korean terrain references the stock GermanyCE.cat, and that means that certain specific objects, only present in that .cat archive, are used on the terrain. Using another .cat from another terrain won't suffice, it can and will result to missing objects and CTDs. I am pretty sure the user also misses some other stock functions, I don't see why his carrier-borne unit in the campaign does not spawn from the carrier, which is obviously missing. Maybe the campaign uses the Naval functions of SF2 North Atlantic, which the user does not have. No point in providing such suggestions if he does not meet the mod's requirements.

Last but not least, crashes are pretty common in huge mods such as this. There's no easy way to debug the game and find all bugs that need to be addressed. Most crashes are usually terrain related, and the causes are multiple, be it outdated ground objects, wrong target area numbers, missing _types.ini objects and much more.

I just know uninstalled the game and I am going to retry it with SF2 Europe, but I did not notice anything strange wth the sky.

You did not have to uninstall SF2 Israel. You need all three games installed, SF2 Vietnam + SF2 Israel + SF2 Europe. If you also have SF2 North Atlantic, install that as well.

I seem to recall in my original read me, that "full 5 merged install plus expansion packs" is clearly stated. You NEED NA for the CV ops; in fact it's suggested you build your KAW mods folder FROM a copy of NA exe.

What Do335 did, I can't recall, as I never d/led his full mod. After spending nearly 5 years on it from the beginning ... well, you get the picture. I hope

      Well — here it is, this moment. We announce to you, dear friends, our new project and our new game world — "Korea. IL-2 Series." From now on and until the release of the game, we plan to publish developer diaries regularly and quite often, in which we will tell you in detail about most aspects of the new flight simulator. In this, the first, introductory entry, we will "go over the top" and outline the main features of the new project.
        What is it about?
        "Korea. IL-2" immerses the player in a virtual world that recreates the air battles in the skies over the Korean Peninsula from April 1951 to July 1953. Military operations during this time were concentrated in the northern part of the peninsula, and much was decided in the air. These events became a landmark in the history of aviation and military affairs: it was the swan song of propeller aviation (which played a very important role in the Korean War) and the rise of jet aviation. By the time of release, it is planned to recreate no less than 8 player-controlled aircraft — half of them will be jets and the other half will be piston-engined aircraft. The jets will be represented not only by the first "pioneers" of the new era, in which designers and pilots for the first time faced unknown challenges to their skills, but also by the powerful and efficient second-generation F-86A Sabre and MiG-15bis. Piston-engined aircraft will be the quintessence of the era — in the skies of Korea piston aviation enthusiasts will be able to fly the most powerful and efficient machines of this type in history: the F-51D Mustang and F4U Corsair and their Soviet opponents. One of them will be the Il-10 attack plane — where else but in a flight simulator about the Korean War could we pay tribute to the last attack plane of the famous Il-2 series? With improved aerodynamic contours, a more powerful engine, improved flight characteristics, still powerfully armed, and having an armored fuselage — in the hands of an experienced pilot it was a powerful machine.
        Who is it about?
        In the new project we are recreating the air forces of those countries whose pilots were most involved in the aerial battles: the USA, North Korea, the USSR and China. It is interesting that both the Soviet pilots and the Chinese People’s Volunteers participated under the legend that they were all flying North Korean planes — the identification marks of the USSR and China were painted over by the marks of the North Korean Air Force. In fact, there were air regiments in the command structure of the Soviet and Chinese armies, which will be reflected in the uniforms and equipment of the pilots and the language of radio communication. In the main game mode, the player will no longer be an ordinary pilot, concerned only with individual success in a series of combat missions — now the player will be a commander of an entire unit, and on his shoulders will rest not only the management of personnel, but also the planning of combat missions based on the situation and the management of the unit’s resources — the personnel and aircraft.
        What's new?
        The new game engine is even more different from Great Battles than Great Battles was from Rise of Flight. DirectX 12, Physically Based Rendering (PBR) technologies, new visualization systems for atmosphere, vegetation, graphical effects, integration of a new version of the sound API, a new GUI engine and design, an evolution of the aircraft simulation physics engine, including a new aerodynamics, systems operation and damage model, a new damage model for ground objects and ships, a new system of decision making and giving orders to AI pilots, a new radio communication system, and, of course, a new qualitative evolution of the main game mode — all this together makes a qualitative leap, not just an evolutionary step. It required a huge investment of effort and resources from us, because for the new technologies all models, effects, sounds, graphical interface — all this had to be created from scratch. In other words — this is not just "a new version of IL-2," no. "Korea. IL-2 Series" is a completely new version of the engine and has completely new content.   What's next?   Actually, we started the development of "Korea" in parallel with the development of "Great Battles" back in the summer of 2022, and most of the work has already been done. Now we are actively developing the graphical interface and game modes: the development of aircraft has already moved to the stage of creating cockpit models, while the map of Korea is in its final shape and we are already filling it with cities and airfields. The development of dozens of types of ground and sea objects is nearing completion, and the new technological base — engine and tools — is already ready. Most of the development path has been completed, all the parameters of the new project have been defined, and that’s why we can finally announce it with peace of mind and tell you about its features without making promises we weren’t sure we could keep. Thanks for your patience! We will try to keep you updated on what we have already created and how we are progressing during the development cycle until the release.

      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.
