how to point program to a new Drive D:

[greyhawk 8]

My C: drive is getting full.  I want to point my strike fighter 2 to a D: drive, and have all my strike fighter files in the D: drive instead of C:. Can anyone tell me how to do this.  I would appreciate it.

You can literally copy and paste the stock SF2 folders to wherever you like, you'll need to make new shortcuts but this will work.  Assuming you use a mods folder, you can also move that to the d: drive.  All you then need to do is find your options file, which defaults to %UserProfile%\Saved Games\Thirdwire\Strike Fighters 2\options.ini, then in this file under [Mods] change the directory location to point to your new mods folder.

Hey guys, you helped a lot.  The only problem i have right now is my terrain only shows germany, desert storm and Vietnam.  The file looks good with everything. can you help. here is the file terrain.

That looks like the default saved games location on C above - is it?

 

If so it should only have a few ini files in it now - look at the screenshots I put up.

No that is the D: drive.  I decided to make a directory exactly like C; so i wouldnt be confused. Actually what i ended up doing id finding as many terrains as possible and download them again and it seems to be working but i have to wait until tomorrow to do the rest.  Thanks for all you help.
