What's New in Version 1.1 (See full changelog) - J-5/H-5 should now appear as they should. - Minor typos and bug fixes corrected. - PLAAN Naval Strategy revised to account for the unexpected teleportation capacity of their ships. - B 57B is now flyable; even in Campaigns. - B 47E removed; replaced with B 52D. Any person who may or may not be the cause of this is now forbidden to enjoy the campaign. - Improved skins for J-5, J-6, H-5, F-86F & F-100D, thanks Paulopanz. - J-2 included as Optimal for Expansion Pack 1 users.

Is there any interest for further Formosa Campaigns? I have just submitted 1.1 of Operation Formosa Freedom and I intend this to be the final version. I do however like the setting; and I got some time until my main project will start to take up my time again; depending on if I do one of the ideas I had in mind for TSF. The general idea is something similar to TSF; a series of Campaigns that are connected in story and designed around a mod folder of its own. What are your toughs on this? And above else; If I do any more, what time periods would you like to see?

Anti-Monster Freeze Ray. Specially made for melting Godzilla as well as Destroroyah.

As a Campaign Maker, there is nothing I hate more then having to sort out any GroundObjects I do not want. Well, Ground War then... but sorting out unwanted objects comes a close second So kindly, put them separately. In the same 7zip or as a different entry altogether, I do not care.

Aight, then restore NavalMap=TRUE in the Formosa.ini The Campaign should work; but you cannot use the Formosa Map in Single Missions. Also, pass a curse TKs way. NA Scripts was no issue in 3rd party campaigns before he did this.

That is because NavalMap is set to True. Go to Formosa.ini ; remove NavalMap=True and try again. However, even if you cannot see the terrain in Single Mission, the Campaign works just fine. This is only necessary if you want to use the Terrain in Single Missions.

I think TK once mentioned that the Expansion Pack formula will go along the lines of "Most Voted Plane + Least Voted Plane". With the Expansion 3 main feature being the Mirage F1, it is natural to assume the second aircraft of the Expansion - if any - will be the Super Mystere B2.

Please note that most terrains require a CAT file; the most universally done one is the GermanyCE.Cat file. For you to get this, you need to purchase Strike Fighters 2 Europe - at least last time I checked. Once there, the road is open for you; Photorealistic Britain, Sweden, Formosa, Starys Germany - All the best terrains (and their campaigns) available in a heartbeat.

Bugs found. Next patch will fix these bugs; above else will the bug that causes H-5 / J-5 not to appear will be fixed. New skins will also be provided, as well as water map and a few minor changes.

Battle is raging for Makung. The Republic of China Marines Greyhounds are trying to repel the enemy amphibious landing. The PRCs secret weapon is just outside the Island. Poor Marines... This is accurate Fire Support over a considerable distance. Cheers, WhiteboySamurai. Your ships adds a completely new dimension to my campaigns!

View File Operation Formosa Freedom 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...)

If I did not want suggestions, I would not have asked for them ;-) However, since my latest project is now complete (Pending approval), its time to see what can be done with this one. When I had exactly 1 hour and 50 minutes modding break :D

If anybody know how to replicate that effect on a model, preferably so it can be turned on and off (on the entire aircraft), please contact me; but do not forget to assist the dear lad with his problem.

From what I gathered speaking to Baltic people and their toughs on the idea, I get the general idea that any politician or military person to suggest such a thing could just as well jump over the fence to Russia first thing in the morning after. While there is great unity towards Russia, the Baltic countries really despise the idea to be as one in any sort of way again.

Suggested that. He did not like it ^^

Nice one! Thanks!

Nice package! However, I would advice you to simplify the installation for the rest of us by organizing the files in the installation order and not just in a disorderly heap.

Nah, we can probably rely on TK snoring on the coach, ignoring the forums and just going up every second day to check his Paypal account... ;-) In all honesty, TK rarely to never says anything about his plans. Silence from him is not out of the ordinary.

Oh look, its the flying blueprint! Quite nice work you got there, Daniel.

Not avalible in my country.

If it is a digital copy, then I am game. If not, then I wonder if anybody knows where to find a digital copy of Lock On :)

This requires some work, so pay attention. 1: Download this package by Stary. http://combatace.com/files/download/12684-mig-15-mig-15-bis-mig-17-simplified-cockpit/ 2: Unzip the package so that the Cockpit Folder & MiG-15_Cockpit file ends up in the MiG-17F Folder. (Saved Games\ThirdWire\StrikeFighters2\Objects\Aircraft\MiG-17F or your equivalent) 3: Open the MiG-17F.ini file, and add the following line under [AircraftData] CockpitDataFile=Mig-15_cockpit.ini 4: Repeat for any other MiG you wish to have flyable. The cockpit I provided is suitable for MiG 15/17 and 19. If you wish for the MiG 17 PF/PFU; use this file: http://combatace.com/files/file/12852-mig-17-pfpfu-cockpit/ With that file, only installation in the MiG 17PFU Folder is necessary.
