Hi, folks. I am havign problem getting mods like planes to show up in a new sf2 merged install. It is patched to March 2010 patch. i followed the knowledge base article. I copied the sf2I.exe, ran the game, exited out. then saw the new folder"Wahtever you like" and copied the objects folder whic contains my mods from my external hard drive to the newly created folder. I recently had to move my modded files to an external drive as my pc crashed. Now, when I start the game, only default planes show from emrged install and no modded ones. i checked the option.ini files in the new folder and it says directory is the new one. can anyone help to fix this? here is the link to the article in knowledge base I was using. Hi all! You may all know what I’m talking about already, but I couldn’t find it in the KB. I think I found a really easy way to have multiple installs of SF2 (or SF2V or SF2E). Apparently, the name of the folder in your main ThirdWire Mod folder is not hard-coded but copied from the name of the EXE when it is first run. So you fancy another intall!... Follow me: Go to your main SF2 (or V or E) folder. Make a copy of your “StrikeFighters2.exe” (or Vietnam or Europe, but you get that now). You should get a new file called “Copy of StrikeFighters2.exe”. Rename that file “Whatever_you_like.exe”. Run it. There you go! This will create a “Whatever_you_like” folder in your ThirWire mod folder (by now everyone knows where it is!). This folder is a carbon copy of the initial mod folder created by your stock SF2, with its own “option.ini”. When you launch your “Whatever_you_like.exe”, it will read this “option.ini” file. In your “Whatever_you_like” mod folder, you can add or remove pretty much anything you want (as long as it’s SF2 compatible). However, if you remove stock aircraft (or other ground objects), you will probably CTD if you try Instant Action or stock Campaign. So far, I’ve remove most of the US aircraft (I want a Western Europe vs Soviet) and add a new terrain, and everything works perfectly fine. Haven’t done a campaign yet!!!

Hi, guys. i tried accroding to above and still no good. it keps giving me only defauly planes. I only triedputting a few planes but no good. the new folder for mods did create but no go. here is the .ini profile. I was able to do this mod installation before and now its not working. Do you think TK broke the code with the latest patch?

Looks like more speculation: http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20100402/wl_asia_afp/skoreankoreamilitarynaval;_ylt=AjR6FksDcKtfHDIukxjlLyKs0NUE;_ylu=X3oDMTN1aTYxZWRpBGFzc2V0A2FmcC8yMDEwMDQwMi9za29yZWFua29yZWFtaWxpdGFyeW5hdmFsBGNjb2RlA21vc3Rwb3B1bGFyBGNwb3MDNARwb3MDMQRwdANob21lX2Nva2UEc2VjA3luX2hlYWRsaW5lX2xpc3QEc2xrA3NvdXRoa29yZWFzYQ--

early 80's flaashback!. Now will donkey kong please come forward.

I start the game by clicking on the new icon created according to the frogger post above in the thridwire folder. Basically its the icon that i copied the sf2 e.exe from and then made a shortcut to dsktop. So yes, I double click the new icon created.

Hi, again. i tried again but with the SF2 Europe.exe. i made a copy in core folder. Started ther sim and exited. Then the ne wmod folder appears in saved games and then copied my objects with mods from external and overwote the objects folder in new one. The mods are there in copy-SF2 which is the new mod folder. But when you go to start it up, just the default show. Here is a copy of option.ini [Mods] ModsEnabled=TRUE Directory=C:\Users\dsawan\Saved Games\ThirdWire\StrikeFighters2 Europe - Copy Editors=StrikeFighters2 [screenShots] Directory=C:\Users\dsawan\Saved Games\ThirdWire\StrikeFighters2 Europe - Copy\ScreenShots Format=JPG [Version] BuildDate=Mar 2010 [MergedTitles] StrikeFighters2=TRUE StrikeFighters2 Vietnam=TRUE StrikeFighters2 Europe=TRUE StrikeFighters2 Israel=TRUE Changed=FALSE

ok, will try. thx for assist.

Also, i did run a mission as that is the only way to get the new folder to appear under saved games. the, again i copied the objects folder from my external hard drive to the new folder-Whatever you like" and overwrote the ojects folde there. I checked and the mods all copied over sucha s TSR bomber,etc. Spinners stuff. they are there but when i click on the desktop icon either from chsortcut or in thirdwire folder where core is, it does not show the modded stuff.

Hi, kevin. here is the path. Also, i copied the objects folder to the saved games folder that was newly created and overwrote the old one so the mods will be there. i did not put them in the core one under program files. Only the new icon is there accrding to knowledge base from frogger. I used the israel.exe to create the new install and not SF@ europe. i dont know if that makes a difference cause frogger wrote this before Israel was released. Anyway, You can see it in option.ini: [Mods] ModsEnabled=TRUE Directory=C:\Users\dsawan\Saved Games\ThirdWire\“Whatever_you_like Editors=StrikeFighters2 [screenShots] Directory=C:\Users\dsawan\Saved Games\ThirdWire\“Whatever_you_like\ScreenShots Format=JPG [Version] BuildDate=Mar 2010 [MergedTitles] StrikeFighters2=TRUE StrikeFighters2 Vietnam=TRUE StrikeFighters2 Europe=TRUE StrikeFighters2 Israel=TRUE Changed=FALSE

YAP hueys. These things rule in any sim.

cant download either. Nice addition for antisub duty.

Was there ever a strafer version of this plane? I know the B-25 was modified back then into H and J.

Like mthat skin Spinners.

Col. Yen, you may not give a damn about the Geneva convention, but someday, you're gonna be held accountable!

Hi, I know this is more technical but it does have an impact on sf. I just put the vista 32 bit os pc to sleep for 20 minutes and when I went to start up by touching mouse, it only showed desktop background and no sf 2 icons or any other icons for that matter. I put it on slep again by clicking on keyboard and it came to normal. Before this, i did a factory install because the destop wouldn;t show and got black screen consistently. It wiped out my sf 2 and 1 installs. I dont know what to do now. i have to reintsall my sf2 and 1's but am afraid of this happenign again. Does anyone here know how to fix this sleep mode or what do you guys use in this case? I am not sue if hibernate works or power settings in vista need to be chgd. If so to what? This is killing my sf 2 and 1 experience.

Hi, nice. is this for FE 2 or first generation?

Sad. So many key military figures away at the same time.

what about shipping? Was it just pt boats or P-4 patrol boats similar to North Vietnam? Some Russian freighters or warships in a what if extension to KAW could be useful. The all gun cruisers would come into play. We already have Chapaev class.

cant seem to find it here, but simhq mentioned something about a tu-22M in the works. Anyone know how it is going? thx. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tupolev_Tu-22M

Hi, I rodered mine via their e-shop. uestion is how do you burn the files to dvd with dvd writer on pc? Theres 3 files and I use poweriso to burn to disc. i know how to do a single iso but theres 3 files. Do we need to make 2 discs or 1 dvd disc. I dont want the files to be lost on my hardrive.

Hi, folks. I am trying to solve this problem. I cant get access to my destop at all. I can email and do internet however. i also can go into another user account and it does not happen there. Only thing is many sf2 files are inthe corrupted user account. I have tried so many fixes and no go including microsoft's fixes. I found this article and wonder if anyone knows how to get to gpedit.msc”. and local policy to security options in UAC. i tried looking for gpedit.msc and its not there. Hope you can help. thx. http://www.theworldofoffice.com/vista-tips-tricks/cool-vista-speed-up-trick-for-a-better-user-experience-disable-uac/

forgive me but where is checkdisk? is that under accessories in vista? only see disk defrag.
