Canadair: No, the inland targets problem is not solved by using the TARGETS.INI included in the SF2NA XP and RSR mods. That's precisely what the ReadMe iin Expansion Pack for the terrain says -- that it isn't solved and that you will notice the problem: Eric Howes

russouk2004: Thanks for the information. I'll add that data when the pack is updated. Eric Howes

jmarso: Yeah, another occasional bug in the game that shows up. Despite a working Water map, the campaign does sometimes run the ships onto land. Eric Howes

jmarso: From what I can tell the SF2NA campaign engine has some behavior where it magically "decides" or determines the outcome of some missions, esp. those involving attacks on the carrier group. I've seen missions where the carrier wasn't hit or took only one or two hits and appeared to be sailing under its own power when I ended the mission. Result: game declared campaign failure and summary text said the carrier was sunk. I've seen that happen with a number of different campaigns, including the default SF2NA 1979 campaign. Ending a mission early, esp. if you haven't achieved mission success by shooting down the required number of bombers, increases the likelihood of the game declaring a TKO on your carrier group. Not much I can do about this except to advise players to play out missions involving carrier attacks as long as possible and make sure you get a "mission success" message before ending the mission. Another thing to keep in mind about the "Fighting Withdrawal" campaign -- the campaign win and campaign lose texts are very similar. You're not going to stop the Soviets from taking Norway. The best you can do is get through three days (fifteen missions) without allowing your carrier to be sunk. Eric Howes

blaze95: You already sent me the updated HFD. I simply haven't incorporated it into an update yet. Eric Howes

Kjakker: One small correction: as long as you install this... SF2V Air & Ground War Expansion Pack v2.0 - Sep. 2014 Update ... you don't need this... SF2V Air & Ground War Expansion Pack v2.0 - Terrain Update Also, the VPAF Add-on needs to be installed BEFORE the Sept. 2014 update. And the Sept. 2014 Update includes the files from this... Green Hell 3.5 Enhancement Package ...as an optional set of files. Eric Howes

IsaacCoote: That's a bug in the game's handling of AI behavior. It's not specific to any mod. I've seen it -- or variations on it -- in a number of different mods and games. Unfortunately, there's not much I can do about it. Eric Howes

Folks: As promised, you can find a small 7zip with just the updates & fixes here: http://combatace.com/topic/86626-sf2-indian-ocean-fixes/?p=698025 Eric Howes

Folks: The SF2 Indian Ocean mod has been updated and refreshed. Here's what's changed: - OV-1D cockpit removed from BR.1050 - 1965 campaign national marking bugs fixed - Mirage5PA model drop tanks bug fixed - minor fixes/updates to two-seat Mirage deltas - An-12 skins from Paulopanz added Later this evening I will be posting a small package containing the fixes & updates for those who don't want to re-download entire mod. Eric Howes

Paul: That's exactly what I'm going to do when I get a chance to re-upload this mod. And that aircraft will stay as an AI aircraft. Eric Howes

Eole: I will get it removed in the next day or so. But this is a mess of your own making. So far as I can tell, the three BR.1050 packages and the Guardians of the GIUK Gap campaign all have the same problem. This really should have been fixed months ago. Eric Howes

Paul: Thanks, but I've already got the Taimur class covered. Also, the Chetak is unflyable, by AI or player, and I don't have the patience right now to fix yet another broken helo flight model. I'll take a look at the An-12 skins, which look nice. The medals I'll also consider, but only as a matching set -- both nations. The one thing I'd really like to see is proper IAF/INAS skins for the L-1049. I made decals, but the textures themselves still need work. If you wanted to take a crack at those, I'd be happy to add those in. Best, Eric Howes

Folks: The SF2 Indian Ocean mod has been updated and refreshed. Attached to this post is a 7zip file that contains the updates & bug fixes. I make this package available here for those who do not want to re-download the entire SF2IO mod just to get these updates. Simply unpack the 7zip file and drop the files into your SF2IO Mods folder, allowing Windows to overwrite files and folders as prompted. Here's what's included: - 1965 campaign national marking bug fixed - Mirage5PA model drop tanks bug fixed - minor fixes/updates to two-seat Mirage deltas - An-12 skins from Paulopanz added Note that in addition to supplying the above fixes and updates, the new set of SF2IO download files removes the OV-1D cockpit from the BR.1050. Eric Howes SF2IO_Fixes.7z

Gunrunner: OK, thanks for the info. The campaign bug is an easy fix -- one missing 0 (zero) in the numbering of units (the C-47A_PAF). That's what I get for making a last minute edit. Updated campaign files are here: http://combatace.com/topic/86626-sf2-indian-ocean-fixes/ I suspect the problem with the double fuel tanks affects more than just the DLC Mirages -- probably the Mirage 5F and Mirage 5D models as well. I'll have to get my hands on DATA.INIs for all the July 2013 Mirage deltas to check them. Eric Howes

Gunrunner: Which patch level are you using? Eric Howes

Eole: OK, thanks for the heads-up on the cockpit. I'll adjust the credits. Paulopanz: I'll update the credits to include Spillone104 for those aircraft. Eric Howes

Folks: Although there is only one post/entry in the Downloads section for this mod, there are five files to download. Make sure you grab all five parts on the file download page. Eric Howes

View File Strike Fighters 2: Indian Ocean Strike Fighters 2: Indian Ocean This mod package for "Strike Fighters 2" supplies the aircraft, ground objects, guns, weapons, and effects to support four campaigns centered on the tensions and occasional conflicts between India and Pakistan. Two of those campaigns are fictional and involve the U.S. Navy, which intervenes amidst rising tensions between the two countries in a support of Pakistan. Two are historial -- based on actual wars fought between the two countries. To use this mod, you must have a merged install that includes "Strike Fighters 2" (SF2), "Strike Fighters 2: Europe" (SF2E), "Strike Fighters 2: Israel" (SF2I), SF2I "Expansion Pack 1" (EXP1), "Strike Fighters 2: Vietnam" (SF2V), and "Strike Fighters 2: North Atlantic" (SF2NA). This mod also requires the MirageIIIO DLC aircraft from ThirdWire. Note that this is a COMPLETE mod package and should be installed to its own dedicated Mod Folder. Please do not attempt to combine it with any other major mod such as "NATO Fighters," as you could end up with a non-working install. Also, although this mod shares a number of common elements with the SF2NA Expansion Pack, it is NOT designed to be installed over or merged with that earlier mod. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Minimum Requirements ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ To install and play this mod, you must have the following installed as part of your target installation base: REQUIRED: Strike Fighters 2 (SF2), plus Strike Fighters 2 Europe (SF2E), plus Strike Fighters 2 Israel (SF2I), plus Strike Fighters 2 Israel - Expansion Pack 1, plus Strike Fighters 2 Vietnam (SF2V), plus Strike Fighters 2 North Atlantic (SFNA), plus DLC #17 (Mirage IIIO) PATCH LEVEL: Mar2012 or higher This mod does support installations that include the F-4N DLC aircraft from ThirdWire, but it is not required. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Installation ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Before installing, please ensure that your target SF2 install meets the minimum requirements laid out above. ----------------------------------- * STEP 1: PREPARE THE MOD FOLDER * ----------------------------------- This mod requires a separate Mod Folder. Please do not attempt to install this mod over or combine it with any other mods package such as "NATO Fighters" or the SF2V Expansion Pack. - Open your SF2 Installation directory and make a copy of StrikeFighters2 NorthAtlantic.exe. Rename the copied .EXE file to SF2_IndianOcean.exe (or whatever unique name you prefer). - Run the newly copied and renamed .EXE file, then exit back out to the Windows desktop after navigating through a few menus. A custom Mod Folder for your "SF2 Indian Ocean" install will have been created in one of these locations: Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\[username]\My Documents\ThirdWire\[YourModFolder] Windows Vista: \Users\[username]\Saved Games\ThirdWire\[YourModFolder] Windows 7: \Users\[username]\Saved Games\ThirdWire\[YourModFolder] ...where [YourModFolder] matches the name of the copied .EXE file that you created. You will install the "Expansion Pack" mod files to your Mod Folder. - Open your Mod Folder and delete the \Objects sub-directory (including everything in it). Now you're ready to install the "Expansion Pack" mod proper. ------------------------------------------------- * STEP 2: INSTALL MAIN COMPONENTS TO MOD FOLDER * ------------------------------------------------- This is the easiest step. - Unpack the five "SF2 Indian Ocean" archive packages that you downloaded to a temporary location on your hard drive. - Move the *contents* of the \To_Mod_Folder directory from each package to your Mod Folder (created in Step 1 above). (Note: do not simply drag and drop the folder named "To_Mod_Folder" or you will end up with a non-working install.) If you've moved everything correctly, you should have a new \Objects sub-directory in your Mod Folder, along with a few new other sub-directories. ---------------------------- * STEP 3: EDIT OPTIONS.INI * ---------------------------- This last step involves a bit of text editing, so please pay attention. Open the Options.INI file in your Mod Folder. Locate the "Single Mission" section. I recommend setting the StartYear= and EndYear= as follows: StartYear=1948 EndYear=2020 Finally, a little further down you should find the "Campaign" section. Replace it with the following: [Campaign] CampaignName=1987-1021 Southern Calm PlayerService=USN PlayerUnit=VF-103 Sluggers AircraftType=F-14A_82 Difficulty=HARD Length=NORMAL AircraftSupply=NORMAL WeaponSupply=LIMITED LoadCampaign=TRUE CampaignSavename=DefaultCampaignSave Save your changes and close the Options.INI file. * * * * * THAT'S IT. Your "SF2 Indian Ocean" mod should now be ready to use. You may consider installing some of the "optional" items as described in the next section. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Optional Installs ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This mod includes a number of "optional" items that can be installed, provided you have the required files to suport them. These "optional" items can be broken down into three types: - Optional Aircraft - Optional Ships - Alternate Campaigns 1. Optional Aircraft -------------------- The \Option\Alt_Aircraft directory includes three optional aircraft that you can install. These alternate aircraft replace the substitutes that are installed by default. Opt Aircraft Substitute ------------ ---------- F-4N (DLC) F-4N (based on F-4B_67) Marut Su-7BMK L-1049 C-47A (India) How to Install: F-4N: If you have the F-4N DLC installed to your target SF2 installation and wish to use the DLC version instead of the default F-4N, simply remove the substitute F-4N from \Objects\Aircraft in your Mod Folder. Then move the DLC version from \Optional\Alt_Aircraft (part of the first package you downloaded) to \Objects\Aircraft. In other words, swap the DLC version for the default version. Marut & L-1049: The HF-24 Marut and L-1049 require LODs (model files) from the A-Team's download site: http://cplengineeringllc.com/SFP1/Skunworks.html 1. Download the appropriate package containing the necessary LODs from the A-Team's site (link included above). For the Marut you will need to download the HF-24 Marut. For the L-1049 you will need the C-121 Super Constellation. 2. Unzip the package you downloaded to a temporary directory. 3. Copy the .LOD files from the package you downloaded to the appropriate aircraft folder in the \Alt_Aircraft directory. 4. Once you've added the LOD files to the aircraft's folder, you may install the aircraft and accompanying decals from the \Alt_Aircraft directory to your "SF2 India" Mod Folder. Once installed the L-1049 and HF-24 Marut will be automatically used in campaigns. The F-4N is not used in any campaigns but can be used in Single Missions. 2. Optional Ships ----------------- Also included are three ships that can also be installed, provided you obtain the correct LODs to support them. Two ships are USN destroyers (the Charles F. Adams class and Farragut or Coontz class) based on the DLG-10 included in the "Yankee Air Pirate 2" and "Yankee Air Pirate 3" commercial mods. To use these optional destroyers you must have the necessary LOD files from "Yankee Air Pirate". The third is the INS Viraat. To use it you must have the LOD files for the HMS Hermes from the SF2 Falklands mod: http://combatace.com/files/file/13296-sf2-falklands-mod-redux/ How to Install: a. For the destroyers, remove the substitutes (named Adams and Farragut) that are installed by default from \Objects\GroundObject in your Mod folder. (These substitute versions are based on the ThirdWire CGN-36.) The Viraat has no subsititute to remove. b. Copy the Coontz2.LOD from "Yankee Air Pirate" to the Adams and Farragut folders in \Optional\Alt_Ships (part of the first package you downloaded). For the Viraat, copy the R12 .LOD files from the Hermes (R12) in the SF2 Falklands mod to the Viraat folder in \Optional\Alt_Ships. c. Create collision LODs for both destroyers by making a copy of Coontz2.LOD and renaming it Coontz2_COL.LOD. For the Viraat the collision LOD is the R12-R2b_COL.LOD that's already included in the SF2 Falklands mod. d. Move the ships from \Optional\Alt_Ships\GroundObject to \Objects\GroundObject in your MOD folder. The campaigns will automatically use the new versions of the USN destroyers. The Viraat is not used in any campaigns but can be used in Single Missions. 3. Conventional Campaigns ------------------------- The game engine for SF2NA brought many welcome new features to the world of Strike Fighters 2. As useful as those new features are, the SF2NA campaign engine (i.e., the engine that allows for "naval campaigns" with battle groups and cruise missile strikes) was clearly designed specifically for the SF2NA Iceland/North Atlantic campaign, as it attempts to turn every campaign into North Atlantic, Part II. Once battle groups are "discovered" by the opposing side, the campaign engine will throw everything at that battle group, mission after mission, until all the ships are sunk or the attacking side runs out of aircraft capable of performing strike missions. This can become a bit wearisome, and it is extremely difficult to prevent those battle groups from being "discovered" and attacked. In the standard SF2NA-style campaigns listed above, this usually happens around the fifth mission of the campaign. To give players an alternative to the standard "North Atlantic" duel-to-death naval campaign, I have included standard SF2-style versions of the two fictional campaigns (the 1974 and 1987 campaigns). The "conventional" versions put the campaigns' focus squarely on the battle between India and Pakistan. The Indian government -- based on a combination of military and political reasons -- elects not to directly attack American carrier groups while still engaging U.S. aircraft flying in support of Pakistan.) Note that the two historical campaigns (1965 and 1971) were built from the start as "conventional," non-navalized campaigns. The upside to these "conventional" campaigns is that the campaign engine no longer gets stuck in the same cycle of hurling strike aircraft at the battle groups over and over. The downside is that carrier battle groups no longer move together. The carrier moves, but the escort ships are static terrain elements. Also, the big bombers on both sides tend to make less frequent appearances from their off-map air bases. How to Use the Conventional Campaigns: If you wish to try the conventional campaigns, you will have to install them from \Optional\Alt_Campaigns (found in the directory where you unpacked the "SF2 Indian Ocean" downloads). a. Drag the \Campaigns folder to the Mods folder where you installed the "SF2 Indian Ocean" mod, allowing Windows to overwrite files as prompted. b. Drag the \Terrains folder to the "Black Sea Crisis" Mods folder as well, again allowing Windows to overwrite files as prompted. When you re-start the game, the listed campaigns will play as conventional, SF2-style campaigns. Please note that in the above install process you are effectively converting the India-Pakistan terrain into a conventional SF2 terrain. While the terrain is coverted into a conventional, non-naval terrain, naval aircraft in Single Missions will fly from land bases, not carriers. To convert the terrain back into an SF2NA-style "naval" terrain, copy these files from \Terrains\IndiaPak (in the directory where you unpacked the "SF2 Indian Ocean" download files) to the \Terrains\IndiaPak directory in your Mods folder: IndiaPak.INI IndiaPak_TARGETS.INI IndiaPak_WATER.bmp That's right -- those are the only files that need to be restored. I would recommend restoring the original SF2NA-style campaigns at the same time. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Summary of Campaigns ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This mod includes four campaigns -- two historical campaigns plus two fictional campaigns. For each campaign a Red-side and Blue-side version is included, allowing you to fly aircraft from all three nations represented in the campaigns: India, Pakistan, and the USN. Here's a quick summary of the campaigns: 1987-1021 Southern Calm October 1987. A joint naval exercise, code-named "Southern Calm," conducted by the USS Saratoga carrier battle group with the Pakistani Navy is interrupted when the Indian government denounces the joint maneuvers as cover for a planned nuclear strike by Pakistan using recently developed nuclear warheads designed to be delivered by Pakistan's U.S. supplied F-16s. 1974-0421 Frowning Buddha April 1974. After the Bhutto government of Pakistan publicly denounces India's preparations to conduct a "peaceful nuclear explosion" at the Pokhran Test Range and declares its intention to stop the test through unilateral military action, the Nixon administration dispatches the Kitty Hawk carrier battle group to the Arabian Sea in support of Pakistan. 1971-1203 India-Pakistan War '71 December 1971. After eight months of rising tensions over India's support for the secessionist government of East Pakistan, the Pakistani Air Force elects to strike the first blow in a seemingly inevitable war by launching a pre-emptive attack against airfields and other military targets in western India. 1965-0901 India-Pakistan War '65 September 1965. The Pakistani military launches Operation Grand Slam, an effort to seize the town of Akhnoor in Jammu and cut off Indian communications and supply lines in the disputed region of Kashmir. Although it enjoys initial success, Grand Slam also manages to draw the Indian Air Force into a conflict that threatens to grow into a major conflagration. ~~~~~~~ Credits ~~~~~~~ This mod package draws on the work on dozens of modders who have uploaded the fruits of their labor to CombatAce.com and elsewhere over the years.

citizen67: The main texture file for those F-16 skins is a 4096x4096 graphic, which is large. You might try using a reduced size version. See the attached, which is 2048x2048. Eric Howes 77FS.zip

Viggen: Daddyairplanes basically has it right. In the Powder Keg scenario, NATO allies have generally decided that the situation is not a NATO problem. Greece has been intimidated into non-action. Turkey has been sweet-talked with promises of support in the dispute over Cyprus. Neither country wants to tangle with the Bear over a dispute involving Israel's invasion of Lebanon. Local commanders in Crete do make the decision to resist the Soviet airborne assault, but that decision leaves them cut off and without support from Athens. The only support they will get comes from the U.S. In the 1986 Libya bombing campaign, it is as it was at the time: NATO allies do not want to provide overt support lest they become targets for Libyan sponsored terrorism. Eric Howes

blaze95: The El Dorado Canyon campaign included in this mod is a semi-fictional take on the real operation. This campaign imagines what might have happened had the U.S. engaged in a five day bombing campaign -- something like Operation Desert Fox, the four day 1998 bombing campaign against Iraq -- instead of a single day set of strikes. It also supposes that Libya was aggressive in its response to those strikes. So, this campaign is inspired by the real El Dorado Canyon operation, but does not purport to be a faithful re-creation of that historic event. As for the NorthCape terrain, the expanded and updated North Cape add-on, which is now available for download, does use your corrected .TFD file. I tested every airfield on the map -- every single one. I can say that all are now useable. Your .TFD took care of the problem with trees on the runways. I adjusted the positions of around a dozen runways to deal with rough/inappropriate terrain. All airfields are now useable. There are still a few where the runway disappears from view at one end at ground level, but they're still useable -- aircraft don't bounce around. And they're very few -- I think I can count them on one hand. Eric Howes

Folks: The North Cape add-on has been updated. This update adds three new campaigns and the aircraft and ground units to support those campaigns: - Fighting Withdrawal (86): Just hours after the Warsaw Pact invades Central Europe, Soviet armored columns and airborne troops launch an assault on northern Norway. As Norwegian army units fall back, the USS Nimitz and her escorts are ordered to withdraw from the waters off Norway, lest the carrier and her invaluable air wing fail prey to Soviet bombers filling the skies over Norway. - Return to Norway (86): With the ground war in Central Europe stalemated and the Soviet Northern Fleet defeated in the North Atlantic following a failed assault on Iceland, the USS Nimitz returns to Norway with the USS Forrestal and a Marine amphibious group to retake the airfields and ports under Soviet control in northern half of the country. The Marines will seize Narvik, splitting the Soviet occupation forces, while relying on the two carriers' air wings to provide a covering umbrella of air support. - Assault on the Kola Peninsula (86): Three weeks after the successful landing of Marines near Narvik and subsequent defeat of Soviet forces in Norway, the Nimitz and Forrestal battle groups take position in the Barents Sea to strike Soviet air bases and naval facilities on the Kola Peninsula. All in all it's a fairly large update, with sixteen new aircraft and eight new ground objects. Eric Howes

Stuntman: I haven't tested those missions, but there's a good chance they will work. This mod uses the same Libya terrain, although FRPignon's uses an updated tile set. I've made some minor customizations to the TARGETS.INI and TYPES.INI, but I doubt those would be significant enough to cause problems. You should check the aircraft and ground objects used in the missions, though. My mod may use different names for the aircraft and ground objects -- nothing a little editing can't fix, though.
