I know stupid question, I want to change the aircraft carrier on missions and campaings. What do i do to do this

I am getting a new toshipa p850 with 8g memory,

Nvidia GT 630M 2GB dedicated graphics with Optimus

i7 processor

windows 8

I currently have a hp g series with a hd3000 graphic card.

Do you think it will run better with this set up? I have the strike fighter 2 europe, vietnam and north atlantic. Currently after a couple of games I have to restart and use low resolution.

Any help would be appreciated.

Now we know TK doesn't always release a perfect patch. But I am seeing a lot saying they are having patch issues. So far I have seen people say they have no drop tanks, no burners, missile problems. I can bet you all and I am saying 95% of you patch right over your install. This will create conflicts. I just re-downloaded, installed and added most of my mods and not a single issue. Time consuming? Yes...results? Awesome. No problems. Take the time and do it right.....if you have time to fire the sim and and fly a few missions, you have time to do this. It is well worth the results and kills 99% of your install problems.

Ended up doing the same thing and works great. Thanks for the input

I bought and dl'd SF2E today and it was patched with the new version.

great thanks

Did the patch and tried to load all three of the games i have: sf2v, sf2e, and sf2na. start page starts and then blinks off. Had to redownload all three from thirdwird. Now the question is the download from 3rd wire! does this include the patch. Dont really want to go thru it again. I did back up the sfe and sfna so can still use them and I can use sf2v after downloading the program. Any help would be appreciated.

Is there an alarm or light on like the f-15, f-16, or f-18 notifying you of incoming missiles from enemy aircraft. If so I dont see it.

If you mean the Thirdwire^TM mission editor, you have to choose "Single mission" and then use the button on the bottom right to access the mission editor.

Thanks a lot

Hi all i have installed the new mission editor and it says it instals to program 86\thirdwire\strikefighter2 but every time i do it i still cant find it. Any help

thanks all that is what i thought.

from the A-6A_avionics.ini

 

 

 

[HUD]

HUDColor=1.0,0.85,0.5,1.0

BoresightOffset=0.0,0.0

........

That is sooooo cool, I can actually see. now here is the next question, can you define what each field of the hudcolor means so i can play with it?

being as blind as a bat is there a way to change color or display intensity of the HUD.

I was wondering if there is a way to start a mission on the tarmac, or in a hanger, taxi to runway and then take off? also land, taxi to hanger and shut engine off, open cockpit etc.

Ok guys and gals, I show an amraam on my weapon list. cant acquire target and file weapon yet it does show empty if i fire them all. Cant hit anything and dont know where they go. Any help would be appreciated. Just updated May update but havent played yet.

Thanks guys, that worked, just lowered the graphics to medium instead of high. Seems fine.

Hi all, just bought sf2 NA, I am attaching my dxdiag sheet. It runs so slow I cant play it. Can someone help please. Presentation1.pdf

All you have been a great help, finally at least got out go the lights to work. You all have been great thx

water map goes into the terrain folder

the NavalMap=TRUE statement goes in the terrain's main ini (VietnamSEA.ini)

 

btw, SF2V dosen't go farther than 1973 ish. well before the operational start year for the Hornets. you'll need to adjust the games operation year spread (there's an how to in the knowledge base)

I am looking up water.bmp to insert into the ini file now. I put in the navalmap=true here, I hope it is in the correct place. Also I have looked for the mission extractor and cant find it anymore? do we just use notepad now. I looked under thirdwire and they dont have it anymore. I have changed the date to coinside with 1970 to 2005

TerrainFullName=Vietnam, Southeast Asia

DataFile=VietnamSEA_data.INI

[AllowedMissionTypes]

FriendlyMissionTypes=SWEEP,CAP,ESCORT,STRIKE,CAS,SEAD,ARMED_RECON,RECON

EnemyMissionTypes=SWEEP,CAP,ESCORT,INTERCEPT,STRIKE,CAS,SEAD,RECON

more importantly, are the TERRAINS set up for NavalMap=TRUE, with the correct _water.bmp, with naval zones?

where would I put the NavalMap=TRUE. What I have actually done is download the CVN OPS VIETNAM F-18 mission. It doesnt show up in the mission on the game. Also where would the correct_water.bmp be? with naval zones? I have only used the notepad for the editing of the mission files so far not the mission extract

Let's start with:

 

1. Are you running SF2NA?

 

2. What terrain are you using?

 

3. Are you flying as the US Navy or Marines?

 

4. Are you flying a carrier capable aircraft?

Actually have downloaded SF2 Vietnam

I have downloaded the CVN OPS Vietnam-F-18

like to do marines but i tried both navy and marine, dont extactly know where to put that?

I have downloaded the FA-18F aircraft but doesnt show up on the game as a FA-18f, just CF-18s

Hey all, I hate to post stupid questions but I have one thru tons of posts, tried everything that I could possibly try but not a single plane starts on a carrier. Please tell me what I am doing wrong. I have looked at my mission folder and they are there, they point to the aircraft that they say they are supposed to go to. I look at the ground object and they are there. I'm at a loss.

Hi all, me stupid, stupid, stupid, started TRYING to do some editing of the cat files. I got all of them extracted, they were put into folders in the drive i specified. Now the problem is where do I put them now. In the /thirdwire/strikefighters2vietnam/objects folder, and do I just dump all of the contents of the files created there or what? Also the .msn i see, in the missions, 2 folders, one is training missions, and the other Combat missions, then there area some .msn files in that folder also, but most are in the training and combat folders, Where should all the .msn files be located? Actually none of the carrier missions work but I might be able to work thru this. Probably dont have some files loaded or in the wrong place. Attached is my mission folder.

I have actually axtracted all the cat files, except 2 which says it is wrong. I did make a copy of all the cat files but the question is after I have extracted them and edited them where do I put them. I am running new strick fighter 2, windows 7. In the same respect with mission files. should the msn files go directly into the mission folder. I notice I have folders in them called combat missions, training missions and other missions. Should the msn files actually go directly into the mission folder of saved games/thirdwired/strickfightervietnam/missions?

1968 and i have used from 1968 to 1998 with no luck

When I change the AC type in the Dong Hoi mission I still get the a7 and f8 cockpit, can you tell me why? The only thing i changes was the AircraftType=FA-18C

Thanks all, do greatly appreciate it.
