----------------------------------------------- NATO Fighters IV+: Post-Dec2009 Update Pack # 2 ----------------------------------------------- This package contains a second update pack for the NATO Fighters IV+ (NF4+) add-on designed for "Strike Fighters 2: Europe" (SF2E) from ThirdWire. It does several things: 1) Updates the NF4+ add-on to make full use of SF2's new radar, ECM, ARM, and ECM pod capabilities. 2) Adds a number of new aircraft and ground objects. 3) Adds several new textures to existing aircraft. 4) Adds or updates over 100 weapons and guns. 5) Fixes or updates numerous other files in the original NF4+ mod. This update pack should be applied to SF2E/NF4+ installations that are patched to the Dec2009 or later patch level -- including Feb2010, Mar2010, May2010, or Jun2010 -- and that already have the first update pack applied. If you are running SF2E at the Jun2009b patch level and do NOT intend to update to one of the later patch levels mentioned above, you should NOT apply this update pack. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Installation ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Before installing this update pack, please ensure that: - your SF2E installation is patched to at least the Dec2009 patch level; - the original NF4+ add-on is installed; - the first update pack (or patch) is applied to your NF4+ installation. The four original NF4+ installation packages can be obtained from CombatAce: http://combatace.com/files/category/407-sf-series-add-on-missions-and-campaigns/ The first update pack can also be had at CombatAce: http://combatace.com/files/file/11099-nato-fighters-4-patch-post-dec-2009-patch-level/ The latest patches for Strike Fighters 2 can be downloaded from ThirdWire: http://thirdwire.com/downloads.htm Installation of this update is simple: copy the contents of the \To_Mod_Folder directory to your SF2E Mod Folder, overwriting as prompted. Please note: This update does install revised campaign files for the 1979 campaign. If you are in the middle of a 1979 campaign, the new files will break your campaign.
