Strike Fighters 2: Windows 10 Edition up for pre-order

Recommended Posts

They may work for the most part on Windows 10 but no versions of SF2 are supported on Windows 10.

Basically that means if something changes in a windows update or a hardware driver no longer supports it then TK doesn't have to fix it and could let the game die.

An update with DX12 and VR I would have thought would be the minimum selling point to get new people in. 

 

On the other hand he might have looked at the code again and had nightmares of the past and decided to not bother (wouldn't blame him!)

Then, Devin Horner started posting videos around 2015-ish.

Bit the bullet and got SF2, haven't looked back since.

Still waiting... maybe some of us should offer to buy SF2 from the developer and fix it.

(1) ... allow TK to market SF2 as a proper Win10 compatible game. Bringing the game up to Windows 10 coding standards also paves the way for future development, should TK believe it may be profitable again.

(2) ... I can't think of a single sim that stepped into the niche that SF2 filled: the Jane's Fighters Anthology lite survey sim.

(3)... presumably most if not all of the previous SF2 mods will still be compatible, maintaining SF2's huge advantage: comprehensive libraries of aircraft, vehicles, ships, and maps from all eras of aviation from WWI to the recent past.

(4) ... If TK could afford to shoe-horn in a newer graphics engine and provide the plugins and tools needed to update existing models and create new, massively updated terrains, he would have a winner.

Absolutely spot on.

Great points IMO.

(1) Yes - and target the new flight simmers. e.g. the many who I assume will migrate from X-Box after the MSFS 2020 X-Box release. They'll be buying new Win 10 machines.

(2) True. And surely the Janes line proved there is a market for that level of play balance?

(3) I was super impressed with the mods at http://yankeeairpirate.net/

(4) IMO, if he added

  1. Better lighting/atmospherics
  2. Elevation data - the billiard board terrain doesn't excite folk anymore
  3. More structures
  4. Upgrade the skin res (optional)

and kept all the content the same =  a winner!

To illustrate 1,2 and 3, check out this screen from Project Wingman, made with the Unreal engine. This is what people expect these days.

I contacted TK (Thirdwire) a long time ago, if he is willing to sell SF2 or parts of it.

But I never got an response. :no:

I´m almost sure that the SFP crew is disbanded. They´re focuses on mobile games.

Just be patient we don't know what is happening the TK said he is going to make it windows 10 compatible, yes it has been more than one year and a half but let give him the benefit of a doubt. he is working on more than one project too. Yes, I am frustrated too but let hope we hear something from him, he deserves that before we start calling it a fraud. he has never been except late on his promises and that is not something new, but he is never a cheater.

Yes, what Nyghtfall said.

PLEASE use the proper text size and formatting? It's harder than hell to see what's been written, and even harder to edit and bring back to NORMAL size

      Hi everyone,
      I recently got into weapon modding and wanted to edit some missiles.
      I went for the Weapons Folder with the Weapons Editor, and some weapons were missing, even tho i can see them and equip them in-game.
      I wanted to edit the AA-2D Atoll for my Su-22M3, but there's no AA-2 folder inside Weapons folder, nor inside plane folder, even tho the missile is equippable and i can see it/use it in-game.
      Since there's no Atoll folder, i have no idea how is it possible for me to have it in-game, and even less i know on how am i supposed to edit it through Weapons Editor, since i can't select the folder.
      I thought it may be a sort of "built-in-game" missile and for this reason not showing in weapons folder (idk i just made an hypothesis).
      So i tried using the CAT Extractor, but seems like not working... no matter which CAT file i select, it says "error opening this .CAT file, no files can be extracted", how's that? How do i fix it? Am i doing something wrong?
      Thank you in advance for helping me fixing all these issues or helping me find what i'm doing wrong

      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.

      Hi,
      after seeing the TMF F-14 has wrong and inaccurate speed and fuel indicators, i found out the default Third Wire F-14 has working and accurate ones, but i dont wanna use it cause the TMF Tomcat is better and the cockpit too more realistic too, so can you switch the speed and fuel indicators on the TMF F-14 with the default Third Wire F-14? And for fuel too? Do you need to 3D model and/or do something else other than edit some text files?
       And is it or it's not possible to do?
      Down here are 2 pictures from the correct cockpit in the default Third Wire F-14:


      And 2 from the TMF F-14 (the inaccurate one):


       
      Thanks for helping.
