Good day all!

My first post here, so pardon my ignorance, but Ive been digging around for some time (using the search function) and Ive been at it about an hour now and I am strugglign to locate a campaign where you can play as the Soviets/Reds. 

Can someone point me to where I can download such a campaign? Or does it not exist. I could try to use/buy the editor, tho Id like to avoid that if possible.

Thanks in advance!

Here are several other Red side campaigns most are either Arab against Israel or North Vietnam against US/South Vietnam but there are some Cuban and Soviet side campaign option as well.

 

With regard  for the campaign editor why do you need it? Just extract, copy, and rename the existing campaign you want to fly in. Once that is done then edit the campaign's INI files with notepad to swap the Red and Blue sides and edit the squadrons Soviet squadrons you want to have player flyable in the campaign to make them playable. Once that is done just make sure all the aircraft that those squadrons fly in the camping have cockpits and you should be good to go.  

 

From the SF2 download section.

Thanks guys. I;ll look up these files. 
I currently only own SF2 Europe, but I guess I'll go grab Israel, seems like a good area to have mods.

It strikes me as odd that there seems to be few 70s/80s Red-campaigns.

I'll also investigate the editor (i only got the game days ago, a lot of file editing seems a little overwhelming).

Tried the North Cape mod. It has no red side campaign that I can see. That's getting a separate merged install of pretty much all the strike fighters expansion packs, downloading and installing the expansion mod and downloading and installing the North Cape mod all for nothing :).

If there is no red campaign, then it is not as difficult to make a own one.

Try the knowledgebase of SF1

http://combatace.com/topic/72817-adding-new-air-services-in-a-campaign/

 

Here i descriped how to make a new airforce, that is already included in a campaign usable for the player. It is for WoE, but SF2 is very similar.

 

If you have problems with it, then ask here, not post in knowledgebase.

Thanks, I wanted to avoid doing this stuff, but at this point after downloading and installing all these mods and expansions modifying the game myself doesn't seem to be any more time consuming. So I'll just do it I guess.
