This happens in a ww2 install made from SF2:Vietnam. Does anybody know what causes this?

True, but why put in the entire file path? Why isn't it just giving the pilot's name? I figured it out.: I was using a Nations.ini file from DAT and didn't realize it. The IJN names file was present, but not a medals file. I think this was causing the problem. I put in Wrench's Nations.ini file and now it works fine.

Hehe. No, the font is okay, it's just so squished together it's hard to read. The text provides a path from /users all the way to the Missions folder in the Mod folder.

Love the Dogfights series. I learned a lot about Air Combat Maneuvering from watching. This stuff works even in sims.

Every game has a Mod folder. SF2:NA, SF2:Vietnam, SF2:Europe all have one. What YOU want to is make a copy of your Vietnam one. So you'll have two of three or whatever Vietnam installs. Like everything in computers, the copies must have a different name than your original install. This way, your original Vietnam install won't be affected. The original install will have a mod folder named: "StrikeFighters2 Vietnam". Subsequent installs must be named like "SF2V-Exp" or "StrikeFighters2Viet-Custom" or whatever you choose to name it. In the link below, Wrench explains how to make a theater-specific WW2 install. Don't worry about the WW2 part and the stuff about "Nations.ini". He says to use the name "PTO.exe" but you could use "SF2V-Exp.exe" All you need is just a separate install. Immediately after you follow these steps, you will have a "unmodded SF2V Mod Folder" just as you need. http://combatace.com/topic/74835-creating-the-eratheatre-specific-ww2-install/

Yep. That's the one to get. I've used it for years.

Sounds like Norway has a future in producing highly effective SpecOps operators.

I feel for that guy who's family is in Fallujah.

I don't suppose anyone knows of a "safe" place to get a "free" copy of 3D Max 2009?

Lack of software. I'd loooove to start making 3d-Models, and I'm mostly interested in props.

A lot of SF1 aircraft work just fine in SF2. Also, it's quite common that someone has converted the FM to work in SF2, but there are legacy skins in the SF1 section. Those skins will work just fine on SF2 aircraft as long as it's the same model. Wrench is often updating the ini files of SF1 planes and putting them in the SF2 section. You can always find more skins for the plane in SF1. There are more choices than you may realize.

My solution: get a joystick. The mouse is simply an unnatural controller for aircraft. The Logitech 3D-Pro is a mere $30. Well worth the investment.

My list is: - Blenheim I and IV - Brewster Buffalo - Fw-190A (a newer updated 3-D model) - Fw-190D-9 - Yak-1, Yak-7, Yak-9D(T) (with chin radiator) - Lavochkin La-5, and La-7 (not La-9 standins) - Douglas Boston (A-20) - Seafire Mk49 (with counter-rotating props) - Nakajima A4N - Kawanishi Ki-10 - Poilikarpov I-152 and I-153 I realize DAT has some of these, but I'd like ones everyone can use.

That's awesome, Gatling. Thank you very much! I'll be sure to include it in the download.

The amazing team of Geezer and Baffmeister have recently released two outstanding aircraft. I felt so good, I made a video about it.

Maybe if we shot beer at the enemy, they'd become friends?

I definitely shoot better after after some strong brew. A few Hop Stoopids (Alcohol By Volume: 8%) and I'm ready to get some kills. http://www.beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/220/35738/

File Name: The Continuation War Pt. A File Submitter: ShrikeHawk File Submitted: 18 May 2016 File Category: User Made Campaigns Admin: This is complete install without any Campaigns. I didn't know where else to put it. The Continuation War was fought between 25 June 1941 and 19 September 1944 between Finland and the USSR. This was a true David and Goliath battle. Finland cobbled together a small airforce from the obsolete aircraft of other countries and faced a colossal Soviet Sir Force. Finland should have been overrun within weeks, but that's not how it worked out... This is a tribute to the tenacity of the Finnish armed forces. This is a complete install of the Continuation War. It is built for the benefit of those "without access" to the more diverse ww2 resources of the Development A-Team (DAT), though anyone is welcome to use this Continuation War install. In no way is this intended as a competing product for the A-Team's Winter War. Rather, it is an alternative for those unable to access DAT. This is an informal install. It is not offered as a final product, merely as something to get you flying in the region until further resources are available at CA. If some brave soul will make a Karelian Isthmus terrain, I'd be eternally grateful. In this install you get: - New skins - Skins "adapted" for use over the battlefield. - New Flight Models (FMs) with Aggressive AI. - Sounds from AvHistory and others. - New Menu screens and sounds. Finnish Aircraft Include: - Hawker Hurricane Mk I - Curtiss Hawk 75A-8 - Morane Saulnier Ms.406 - VL Myrsky II - Messerschmidt Bf-109G-2 - Messerschmidt Bf-109G-6 - Junkers Ju-88A-4 - Dornier Do-17Z Soviet Aircraft Include: - Hawker Hurricane Mk IIa - Polikarpov I-16 Type 10 - Polikarpov I-16 Type 24 - Bell P-39N Airacobra - Curtiss Kittyhawk Mk III - Tupolev Tu-2 - North American B-25C - Yakolev Yak-1B - Yakolev Yak-9T - Yakolev Yak-9D - Yakolev Yak-9U CREDITS* Awesome Terrain: gillg (JonathanRL's TSF team) Models: Veltro2K, Raven, Pasko, MontyCZ, Cocas, Wolf257, and Others Cockpits: Stary, Kesselbrut, and Others Sounds: AvHistory, and Others FlightModels: Baffmeister, Charles, ShrikeHawk, and Others Skins: Charles, Raven, ShrikeHawk, Spinners and Many Others EnvironmentSystem.ini: Stary 3-D Clouds & EnvironmentSystem mods: ShrikeHawk Guns & Weapons compiled by: Wrench Thanks to Wrench in general. He had a hand in a lot of this stuff. He keeps the props flames burning, and answers a LOT of questions. Much appreciated Wrench. * This compiles so many different projects over so many years and so many missing readme's, that there are many more people deserving credit than are listed. If you've been missed, I apologize profusely. Please let me know and I'll put your name in. A few comprises were made to get this going. The Swedish terrain (produced by JonathanRL's TSF team) is modern Sweden. However it has an old world feel to it that plays well in a ww2 install. Pasko's Yak-9P stands in for the Yak-1B, Yak-9T, Yak-9D, and Yak-9U. There are minor differences between the versions so visually, the Yak-9P is an excellent stand-in. There is one "What If" included. The Fiat G.55 did not fly for Finland. In reality, Germany was very impressed with the G.55 and collected up to 42 examples for study. What happened to them after that? Well, they might easily have been donated to Finland like so many other aircraft. INSTALLATION: - Download all three parts - Create a new Theater-Specific install. Best choice is SF2:Europe. Create it with this name exactly: StrikeFighters2 ContinuationWar Good instructions on this are available here: http://combatace.com/topic/74835-creating-the-eratheatre-specific-ww2-install/ - Go to your new Mods Folder main directory. - From download Copy & paste the folders: Flight, Menu, Sounds, Terrains. - Go to mod folder's Objects Folder. Empty the Aircraft Folder, and the GroundObjects Folder. - From your download, copy & paste the aircraft in the Aircraft folder into your mod folder's Aircraft folder. Do the same with GroundObjects. - From your download, copy & paste the folders: Decals, Guns, Pilots, Weapons into your mod folder's Object folder. ____________________ This install should not include any A-Team files or assets per agreement. If it does, this is a mistake. Let me know and I will remove those files. Click here to download this file

Hey dsawan - PM me, and we'll troubleshoot it to see what's happening there.
