Thanks everyone for your response, winrar seems to work good but will try the 7zfm also

It just blips on and then off. It says 7-zip console

Ok guys, anyone with windows 8, i am sooooooooo pissed. Got the To Toshibia i was talking about last week. Thought everything was fine. took 4 hours to transfer all the saved games files to my new one. when I ran woe it seemed that the built in graphics (4000) would only run not geforce g320m. got so mad i said the hell with it, formated the drive and was ready to send back and get money back. wanted to try one more time after format and same thing but what i did do is escape after the first few seconds of the game and went back to options. Low and behold there is my geforce 320. So i guess it works, just have to run quick mission then get out and do it again. unfortunatly i lost all my files for all my saved files. over 100,000 of them so i have to start from scratch. Over a year of downloads. Problem is 7z doesnt work with windows 8 now. Just console blips up and disappears. I need a new extractor that works with windows 8 and the only one that advertises is winzip for $30 bucks. Kinda tight on cash now so wanted a free one. Any ideas. It is going to take forever to download anyway so I guess that is what i have to do.

Thanks for the tip, when i arrives I will defintly do that with the gt630

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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 TargetFile=VietnamSEA_targets.INI TargetTypeFile=VietnamSEA_types.INI MovementFile=VietnamSEA_movement.INI NationsFile=VietnamSEA_nations.INI LocationMap=VietnamSEA_Location.bmp WaterMap=VietnamSEA_Water.bmp BriefingText=VietnamSEA_briefing.INI DogfightFile=VietnamSEA_dogfight.INI DogfightOnly=FALSE Longitude=106 Latitude=16 LimitedNations=TRUE GroundObjectTexture=green [Map] FilenameFormat=VietnamSEA_Map%d.bmp Width=1000000.0 Height=1000000.0 NumZoomLevels=3 NavalMap=TRUE [WeatherChance] ScatteredChance=20 BrokenChance=20 OvercastChance=20 InclementChance=20 [AllowedMissionTypes] FriendlyMissionTypes=SWEEP,CAP,ESCORT,STRIKE,CAS,SEAD,ARMED_RECON,RECON EnemyMissionTypes=SWEEP,CAP,ESCORT,INTERCEPT,STRIKE,CAS,SEAD,RECON

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

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.
