Installation Instructions___________________________________________
 
The Strike Fighters 2 automatically scales the background image of
the menu's to fill your screen at its native/desktop resolution.
This distorts the image if you have a widescreen monitor.
 
This mod therefore includes to variants -- one for regular screens
with a 4:3 aspect ratio (e.g. 1024x768px or 1600x1200)which should
also work on screens with a 5:4 aspect ratio (1280x1024).
 
There is also a widescreen variant for screens with an aspect ratio
of 16:10 or 16:9 (e.g. 1920x1200 or 1920x1080).
 
> The regular aspect mainscreens are located in the folder "Normal"
> The widescreen mainscreens are located in the folder "Widescreen"
 
Each folder contains two subfolders, "A-6" and "F-14".
 
> Decide whether you want an A-6 or a F-14 themed mainscreen and
copy the relevant "mainscreen.bmp" file to the MENU folder in
your Strike Fighters North Atlantic mods folder.
 
> For more information on the mods folder, please see:
http://combatace.com/topic/62302-what-is-the-mod-folder/
 
> If you don't have a MENU folder, create one by selecting File >
New > Folder in the explorer menu.
 
> Copy the file named MAINSCREEN.INI to your MENU folder as well.
 
That's it.

TO INSTALL MAINSCREEN
