Fascinating wrench, thank you. Honestly I had never heard of F6Fs in the Solomons, I was just throwing ideas around. Logan, thank you...

Ok, finally got the campaign to showup! YAY! Another question, my sbd squadron doesnt show up. The Marines and VF-6 do. Any ideas? Ill take another look at the ini,s tommorrow. Also, How do I get the F4F's to upgrade later to say F4U's or for the Navy, F6Fs? Anyway to get that upgrade fairly quickly?

Thanks fellas, you gave me something else to work on. Yeah, the easy8 was all I had on hand at the time; kind of a placeholder till I get something more appropo.

God bless you all and may his peace be with you this Christmas and thru-out the coming new year. "Yet with the woes of sin and strife the world has suffered long; beneath the heavenly hymn have rolled two thousand years of wrong; and warring humankind hears not the tidings which they bring; O hush the noise and cease your strife and hear the angels sing!"

Ok, this just isnt working for me. I cant see what the problem is. Maybe one of you guys can take a look and see what it is I dont have right. This is the file Solomons_DATA.ini. I added a couple ground units, one for each side. I know they arent historical; just place holders for now.

So, any thoughts, suggestions, guffaws? Im at a loss here.

Whoops! I put a few holes in the sliegh...but he's still airborne albeit a bit wobbly. Breaking off now! Will escort to next town. PS. Merry Christmas...

Thank you Jonathan. PS. The nations.ini...are you talking about the one in the flight folder or the one I have in the terrain folder? I have IJN and Japanese Empire in the one in the flight folder. In the Solomons-V3 terrain folder I have Solomons-V3_nations.ini. It only has Japanese Empire listed, no IJN.

Also, what is diff between force and service in the [CampaignData] heading in the solomons.ini? I only have us organizations listed and no Japanese in the "services". However, the "force" listing shows only united states and then the two japanese forces. Im confused there. Thank you for help with this barrage of questions, much appreciated.

Also, in my solomons.ini, I have only U.S. aircraft units listed. Should I also put in some Japanese units or are they only listed in the solomons_data.ini?

Because this is an island campaign, will I have to have transports or other ships to move units around? If so, do I list them as seperate ground units also? Im also still not getting the campaign to show up ingame drop down menu. In the solomons.ini file I have this... [CampaignData] CampaignName=Solomons DataFile=Solomons_DATA.ini CampaignMap=Solomons-V3 <------- this being the map I am using. This is also the directory folder for that terrain. Is this correct?

Thanks fellas. You have given me much to work with. Ill fiddle with it all tonight and see what happens.

solomons map. I also know units may not be historically accurate. Just trying to make the campaign work right now.

Has anyone used it here? Tell me, what do you think of it?

Thanks fellas.

Thanks for the replies. So its really for customizing existing campaigns, not making new campaigns?

Screens updated to jpg format. I have also added an "initialization" screen and an updated and corrected readme file.

HAH! Got it to work! I did rename the ini file to StrikeFighters2 PAW.ini. I then added the line LoadingScreen=Menu\InitScreen.BMP under the startup heading BEFORE the callout for startupscreen. Thanks for your help SupGen!

July 2012 patch. Actually, what I did was rename the original SF2 exe to "strike fighters 2 PAW" for my pacific air war install. I just renamed it, I didnt copy it. So your saying I need to rename the StrikeFighters2.ini to StrikeFighters2 PAW.ini? I did look in that ini file and did not see any callout for loading screen. It does have this... [startup] IntroMovieList= StartupScreen=MainScreen Maybe I need to add your line? LoadingScreen=Menu\InitScreen.BMP ?
