in the MissionData001.cat

 

You also might want to look around, and there are several updated ones already available

 

oh that file gets extracted with the SF2 extractor right?

I want to add new nations, every one is talking about the nations.ini and following the number sequence but where is the nations.ini? my fligth folder doesn't have that file where do I find it?

The .cat file is a default file that holds all the objects (I believe if I remember right) for ground objects like hangars, and textures. I've never opened one up and looked inside (I don't know if it's even possible really). You don't really need to worry about it other than linking it on the respective .ini so that the game can load the files from the .cat file for play. Some times you can use different ones but the most popular one is Desert.cat but the file can also be found in the main install directory, but really don't mess with it, etc.

This is taken from the Panama.ini:

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

The "CatFile=" is what you should worry about, and the other two are commented out. If you have just SF2 then you don't have to worry about messing with the file.

Well it worked, I just created the Terrains folder like you said and added the items like Wrench said in the readme.

Thank you both for the help

Nah, hardest part is just making sure that the .cat file is easily referenced.

whats the .cat file? I only have .bmp / .hfd / .jpg / .lod / .out / .shd / .tfd / .tga / .tod / .txt and some config options (they open up in notepad)

Horseshit!! 

I couldn't have made it any easier. All instructions, especially for fully folderized items (like terrains) assume the End User (tm) can do a simple copy and paste (or move or whatever)

 

right from the panama read me (yes, I know the original has a typo and says CubaOTC -- which I corrected here)

well in my defense I dind't knew about the terrain folder that has to be created in the mod folder, base on that an how the aircrafts are added made me wonder if there was a special procedure in order to add it

I was looking in the knowledge base about how to add new terrains since I want to add this one (see link below) but the readme on the file, let's say is not beginner friendly, any video or guide about adding terrains will be apreciated. 

 I also downloaded this one because it was mentioned on the readme

Thanks in advance 

Thank you 

here is the problem, I like the A-6 want to use the ones in game to fly so i downloaded this: 

 but don't know how to installed, keep in mind I have 2 weeks top of playing and discoveriing this game.

thanks in advance 

My end goal is to be able to use the A-6 Superpack by HomeFries 

it worked thanks for the help to everyone.

This might do it:

 

I did this exactly, do I need to leave the other .ini file in the saved games folder?

I'll be quick and straight to the point y want to have all in a hdd even the mods so I whent to the options.ini and change the destination, but every time I lunch the game it creates a new file in saved games.
