To answer the question for everybody else: Yes. Simply go into options.ini and redirect the MODs folder.

TSF 2 is not dead yet. Just wanted to let you guys know that. Sadly I have nothing to show :P

Please do not share rumours or speculate. We will know the facts soon enough.

Stary is currently locked up in a sweatshop somewhere in Poland run by Julhelm but I am going to try and relay this message through my network of contacts.

Norwegian F-5A

Did somebody say "Viggen"? Enjoy the final TSF Loading Screens for the Saab 37 Viggen. AJ 37, AJS 37, JA 37 and JA 37D.

Consider this your answer ;-)

Not proclaiming Obama the God Emperor of Mankind deserves a punishment upon the naugthy ;-)

Remember, Sweden is happy to accept American refugees. D DEMOCRATS WELCOME!

yeah, I agree. Between virtual drives and dosbox, there is little need for me to have an extra computer that I cannot even record on.

Speaking of Peace and Love, the sooner you answer my PM about the MiG 21, the sooner the community might actually get a freeware Viggen to play with ;-)

File Name: Operation Formosa Freedom File Submitter: JonathanRL File Submitted: 29 September 2012 File Category: User Made Campaigns Operation Formosa Freedom By JonathanRL Year: 1959 Flyable Services: US Air Force, US Navy, Republic of China Air Force Carrier Operations: Yes Naval Combat: Yes Ground War Scale: Medium Cheese / Ham Sandwich Included: No Hey, Paulopanz. This one is for you. Consider it a Thank-You for all you done for TSF ! Summary: September, 1959 The Peoples Republic of China increases their rethoric against their wayward province Taiwan, on the Island of Formosa. For the purpose of "peace and order" in the region, they demand that Formosa shall surrender its independence. Meanwhile, both US and Taiwan intelligence services declare the probability of actual invasion to be low. Intimidated by the massive bomber armada of the PRC, the Goverment of Taiwan requests US Aid who comes swiftly in the shape of several Interceptor Squadrons. Two Carrier Groups in the Pacific are also ordered to converge on Formosa; bolstering the strike capacity of the Island. The worst fear of the Taiwanese people is confirmed as Amphibious Regiments are spotted outside the coast of the outer islands. This will be one of the fierest ground, air and naval war in history. Will Formosa fall before US Marines arrive to relive the defenders? Installation: Required: Strike Fighters 2 Europe Strike Fighters 2 Vietnam Recommended: A-4A DLC Expansion Pack 1 First of all, make sure you are using the required packages merged and that it is patched to the latest version. This is _vital_. Check http://www.thirdwire.com if you are unsure what the latest patch is, but the game should notify you if there is new patches out. If you are using a mod, or plan to use one, This mod will mess around with settings other mods may be using. As such, creating a seperate mod folder for Formosa is a good idea. If you only plan to use Formosa on your main installation, then this step can be bypassed. Go to your installation folder (Usually C:\Program Files\Thirdwire\Strike Fighters 2). Make a copy of Strike Fighters 2.exe / Strike Fighters 2 Europe.exe depending on what you prefer and got installed. Name the Copy Strike Fighters 2 Formosa.exe . Start your new .exe once, then close the game. Now go to your Mod Folders. For Windows 7/Vista, this is located in C:\Users\Name\Saved Games\Thirdwire. For Windows XP Users, it is usually in My Documents. Unzip the contents of the 7zip file "Formosa" into the mod folder of your choice. Allow any overwrites. If you own Expansion Pack 1, unzip the file "Optimal" into the same Mod Folder to install correct skins for the J-2. Enjoy! (Yes, I take requests. Just make them reasonable...)

Sadly I have no time to update any of it. What little time I have left for modding has to be put on TSF.

Yo, Paulopanz! Do not forget about these!

If you nuke, you also destroy your own forces and assets. The entire campaign is fought on friendly turf. That may be one reason. The Blues will win when Marine Reinforcements Arrive. They are far too tough for the Chinese Battlegroups to handle. The key is trying to prevent the Chinese to gain a foothold on Formosa in the first place. Destroying the ship that keeps firing rockets upon your ground forces is a good place to start.

The original Campaign is already fully naval compatible with multiple surface groups that provide arty support for troops on shore, hunt for each other and provide escort for Carriers while their planes are fully able to scout and engage ships.

1: The first one is a gameplay issue that appears if you quit a mission too close to the mission being completed - at least when I noticed. 2: I can live with that. Thanks for the feedback :)
