Are you using the GOG version or installing from the disks ??https://www.gog.com/en/game/european_air_war

I've tried installing the Air/Ground war Gold Expansion to a stand alone SF2 Vietnam install..Downloaded all 4 parts and set it up following the read me instructions ,,but go in game and it doesn't seem to be there ,,Only the stock 3 campaigns show up and only the Vietnam,SEA terrain is there,,I've installed mods before so I understand how the mod folder operates in fact installed the Korean Air War Mod yesterday no worries..I even tried installing it to a merged install and same thing..Any help or advice is appreciated

Spot on Wrench I've found over the years if others are using it and no posts it has to be right and the problem is on my end,,Now I have a merged install with KAW and a stand alone Vietnam install and it flies great ..I took your lead and renamed the exe and ini to SF2V-AGExpn

Finally got it running !! Seems there was a loose nut on the keyboard,,I had two unzipped sets of the expansion and checked the size one was1.14 GB,,The second was 4.09 GB and I went to the archives and got the original download and unzipped it and it weighed in at 4.10 GB did another install and copied the _to Mods Folder over and all the campaigns show up and a couple of quick fly's I can see the improved terrain is working.. Thanks for the advice gentlemen

Went through the ini files and this is in the one in the saved games folder [Mods] ModsEnabled=TRUE Directory=C:\Users\russ\Saved Games\ThirdWire\SF2V-AGExpn Editors=StrikeFighters2 So it's pointing to the correct directory,,In the meantime I've installed WOV and got it modded up pretty well..But still working on SF2V

Wrench This is to a standalone VN folder ..I took my merged install out..Tried two approaches to the install 1.Installed SF2V clean and ran it 2. Copied the exe and ini and renamed it to SF2V-AGExpn 3.Ran it afd it created a SF2V-AGExpn folder in the proper place 4 Copied the files from the to mod folder into that 5 ran the SF2V-AGExpn.exe and flew but checked things out and the extra campaigns didn't show up..But the terrain was improved and then added Stary's Green Hell terrain and I believe it's working Also tried all of the above but didn't run the original exe and just cut pasted and renamed the exe and ini to SF2V-AGExpn same thing the campaigns don't show up and there is a Vietnam SEA and a South Vietnam terrain in the mod folder but only the VietnamSEA one shows in single missions..Even tried copying those terrains to the main folder where the cat file is but they don't show up.. I guess it's unfix-able so I'll fly what I have and try setting up and trying mods in SFP1 Vietnam..I'm a Vietnam vet and that's the one I want to fly...I'll only put in a merged install for SF2 to set up KAW. Thank you for your help..

Tried it exactly..Somethings amiss here ..I installed the Korean Air War mod and it's working great My install is to C:/Users/'YourName"/Saved Games/ThirdWire/'Strike Fighters 2 Vietnam... I'll just try installing it clean and add a few mods..Really Vietnam is the only thing I want to fly..But I've tried a merged install and all the fixes in the KB but still get a full load from all modules when flying it.. Thanks for the advice...Can all the modules be installed as stand alone ??

Geary Thanks for the reply..It's a stand alone Vietnam install and it made it's own mod folder in the proper place..To be truthful I'm not sure if I ran it first before aplying the mod,,No worries I'll just uninstall it and give it another go..I did have it running well a couple years ago and I think that was after I flew it a bit..

Downloaded three parts for the continuation War but the instructions say there's four parts Any help the find part D would be appreciated,,Thanks

Looks sharp VB !!

Talking about the comms M8 " but communications are still rudimentary. However there's plenty room for expansion and eventually this could evolve to a whole subset of specific AI commands, so more cooperative attack and defense become possible. "

Looking good VB..Hope you can get it working good

good project VB Some good Naval battles there..I was in Subic Bay in 69 for a rest and refit and can't remember a lot of it due to Jack and Hinekins but what else would a 19 year old Marine do?? hope i don't have any kids there

Glad to be here M8's

Well it looks solid to me the quad guns are a nice touch anything you modders publish are welcome But We could do without the sniping..I fly things from both camps and enjoy them for their own charms

LOL VB that carrier must have been hauling butt seeing how far off the beach it is

I found I couldn't run part one until I woke up and re read the instructions and DUHH deleted the ini and ran it and it was fine..Sometimes it's the little things we miss make the difference

Looks pretty good VB..I like the green one ,,don't really fancy the blue set

Wrench Thank you for the reply,,Excuse my lack of knowledge but where does this go?? Looked at the options file and it doesn't go there I'm trying to learn EDIT..Found it and the one I have is the same as yours..It's strange my base installs work fine but Korea and Russia I got long ago from another site before I got banned have the same issue

Reinstalled SF 2 the other day and added in the KAW mod from here..Got the campaigns working and single missions I can create but when flying instant action it just locks up..When you create a single mission does that become the available instant action flight like in EAW ?? Here's the instant action and single mission section of my options in the mods folder The single mission I flew twice earlier I might have flew the one in the instant action section earlier when testing..It's not a game breaker but wish I could get it right,, Also a small thing but at 100% throttle in an outside view none of my planes have AB flames or any sign of exhaust,,,,I don't even know where to look for this one,,Any help is appreciated,, [InstantAction] AircraftType=F86A-5 MissionMap=KOREA3 StartTime=16:30:00 StartDate=09/18/1950 StartTimeDeviation=120 TextureSet=0 NationalMarking=0 SquadronMarking=0 AircraftNumber=0 KillMarking=0 [SingleMission] AircraftType=MiG-15 Service=China MissionMap=KOREA3 MissionType=STRIKE MissionTime=NOON MissionWeather=RANDOM AirActivity=RANDOM AirDefenseActivity=RANDOM FlyAll=FALSE LoadMission=FALSE LoadMissionFilename= MissionDate=1951 StartYear=1949 EndYear=1953 EditMission=FALSE

Wrench Here's what I have in my options.ini,,If you can post yours in a PM I'd like to try it Thanks [InstantAction] AircraftType=F86A-5 MissionMap=KOREA3 StartTime=16:30:00 StartDate=09/18/1948 StartTimeDeviation=120 TextureSet=0 NationalMarking=0 SquadronMarking=0 AircraftNumber=0 KillMarking=0

Wrench,, It's properly installed to the correct users\saved games \Third wire\ folder as the read me states...Every thing runs fine except for the instant action part..Like I've said before it only takes a second to create a mission,so I'm happy with it And thank you for clearing up the A/B issue I don't know a lot about the planes that are in the mod but one by one I'll take one plane google it and learn a bit like I've done with the WWII planes ..Thank you for explaining it all to me

Gatling Thanks for the reply,,,I've found the plane types were different made them the same and Korea still crashes,,,I didn't know about anything else in the flight instant action but I'll look it over It only shows in the two added mods Korea and Russia..I've modded Vietnam heavily and it flies fine

Thanks for the reply Russo..I'll just go ahead of my own and see what happens..As for A/B I just thought the Korean era jets had them It only shows up in the Korea mod after the football games I'll check it all out ,,Neither one is a game buster for me I just put in the Russian air war mod and single missions locks up there too,,Went and tested the parts of my merged install and they are working fine...It isn't much troubles to set up a single mission so I'll fly it that way

VB..Is it a flying bomb with a pilot ,,Thought only the Japanese did that ??
