Back from a long break and now have SF2V with space question

[TheStig 39]

Years ago, I used to post in the SF1 forum and did some small scale modding to the game. I took a break to get married and create a family.

 

I was gifted with SF2 Vietnam in addition to a gaming laptop as well as the IL-2 series. The whole Enchilada.

 

I am looking to get back into modding with the first being the highlight of the exosphere in what used to be the ENVIRONMENTSYSTEM.INI file in SF1. In SF2, does that still exist? What cat file is it located within?

 

Many thanks in advance. I will have plenty of dumb questions while I get back up to speed with TW SF games and modding. I am also buying Israel and Europe today to do a merged install.

Below is a link to the very same question I asked with SF1:

Welcome back to Strike Fighters. The first thing I would recommend it to download Mues Toolbox (http://combatace.com/files/file/15942-mues-toolbox/). The LOD viewer is a must have and the CAT extractor is better than the one provided by ThirdWire.

 

As for the ENVIRONMENTSYSTEM.INI, in SF2 it is located in the FlightData.CAT.

 

Now you said that you have SF2:Vietnam and you are buying SF2:Israel and SF2:Europe, did you buy just "Strike Fighters 2"? The reason I am asking is that as I recall a number of the add-on terrains call for item that are only included in the Desert.CAT file that come with it.

 

​Ultimately I would recommend getting five full merge, SF2, SF2:V, SF2:E, SF2:I, SF2:NA, plus both expansion packs, SF2:Exp1, SF2:Exp2, and AI Plane Pack's 1 & 2.   Okay, that was a little overboard on my part, however I understand how budgets are after the holidays just keep it in mind for the future.

 

I have to go for now but I will check back in with some more advice later tonight.

Don't forget the new skies and environmentsystem.ini from Stary (SARCASM 2.0). Find it here:

KJakker, I am buying Europe and Israel tonight. Next will be North Atlantic.
