I have SF2: Europe, Israel, North Atlantic and Vietnam. The Europe install is mostly taken over by Nato Fighters (great mod). Until a month or so ago everything went smoothly, but then I noticed that Phoenixes were not available to my Tomcats in NA. Ever. It was not a supply problem, they just never show up in the create a mission space.
So I decided that a tidy up was in order and reinstalled everything (getting some really nice mods long the way - A4K pack for a kiwi is great fun). I left NA for last. So I installed it to the same directory as all the other games (merged) and got the same problem - the AIM 54 is not in the game.
I uninstalled and reinstalled to a different drive. Phoenixes are available this time. Great! I then thought I would snag the wonderful FAA Buccaneer to fly off the US carriers (I am not onto it enough to put a UK carrier in the game). But NA refuses to see my Buccaneer. It will see the DLC FAA F4K from Third Wire, which sits comfortably in the saved game mod file (in the same directory as all the other mod files, but with far fewer planes etc).
Any ideas? I tried pointing the options.ini to a different location and putting the Buccaneer in there, but had no luck. I have successfully flown the FAA Buccaneer in my Nato Fighters install, so I'm pretty sure I'm not putting its components in the wrong place.
