Just wonder i this thing will be compatible without work from the game devs? sF2 doesn't have thousand of keyboard commands and the most importand could be used blind with your joystick/hotas.

Hi, got SF2 few weeks ago and when i started my first Mission and and looked around the airfield while sitiing in my A-10 i thought Hugh? A US style watertower on a german airfield. the more i played this Sim the more disturbed me the US style look of the airfields on the german Terrain. They doesn't fit. Next i started searching the Internet and found this great community. Searched around the Forums asked about replacing the watertower and stumbled over Starys wonderfull german hires Terrain textures and later over Gepards German airfields mod. But than i wanted more... While i'm somewhat new to this Sim series i'm not new when it comes to game modding. Have done modding since a decade ( Fighter Squadron, StarWars Battlefront series, Kharkov 1942 and others). Ok enough of the boring part. Just wanted to introduce myself. Here Comes the more interesting stuff. While i wanted more (for example the airfield mod wasn' final) i gathered some interest in the german Forum.Here are a couple of screenshots and a list of things that already have been done. It won' be nothing without the active work from Florian, Ravenclaw007,76.IAP-Blackbird and the whole modding community. I used so many stuff made by you guys many thx for that!

Hi, I will get FE2 soon and would like to know what addons should i download ? I know all of them,lol but i just need a start to fly some missions when i need a break from modding SF2. And what terrains are included?

I would like to fly the Intruder but couldn't find a flyable version yet. Not at Thirdwire and not at the dl section here. I only found the Superpack with no cockpit and a file in the cockpit section which seems to be a graphic replacement only.

Guys, Got the Vietnam version a couple of days ago and it feels so different then Europe or NA. First i don't know that much about the Vietnam war. Sure i've watched Platoon or Full Metal Jacket in the past. I know what Vietkongs are or Napalm but not much about the history. I'm currently watching a 12 part documentation on YT to learn more about it. But back to SF2. I flew 5 mission and got killed 4 times. I survived one but that was the carrier landing mission without enemy contact. In the first mission flying a Phantom i tried to go infight with a Mig17. Even with afterburner i ran into stall in horizontal turns and it ended beeing shot few minutes later. The Phantom turned like a brick. Learned from the first i tried a more boom and zoom tactic with vertical turns in the second mission. That worked better but all 4 Sidewinders went into Nirvana. Noone tracked a Mig. Got a lucky shot with the cannon but was shot by another moments later. In the third mission i tried to use the Sparrow. In the meantime i found out that the Sidewinders need to be released at a very close range >2 mls. But how do you target and track an enemy with this poor Radar? There is search and boresight radar only but the target aquire function button didn't seem to work . At least not for me. So i couldn't fire up a Sparrow. Not to mention that i was shot down minutes later again. In the fourth mission i tried a bombing mission. Thought it would be easier. But i was wrong. I was able to hit an airfield fuel depot but the damn NVA AA guys shot my bird in pieces. Any help would be usefull :-) Rends Btw Starys green hell looks great. And he is right. It's a damn hell!

EA confirmed dedicated servers but there won't be server browser (yet). Btw: there is a free for all beta in 5 days.

One last question. Where is the IFF indicator? Last night my wingman died by aehm cough cough friendly fire.

Thx guys. Flew a single mission only today but was able to get 2 kills using Sparrows and 3 kills using Sidewinders. And i made it home! Thx for your tips! Rends

Want to get Vietnam in the next days and it should be merged with Europe and NA. I remember someone posted that if you make a merge install i need to backup or rename something or i might loose third party stuff. Guess it's the stuff in the the mod folder. Can anyone tell me exactly what to do? Thx, Rends

Hi, I will build a new PC in the next days and wonder if it is possible to move (copy) the game to the new PC without reinstalling all the mods i added in the past? Rends

Thx Guys! Seems to work fine. And i'm running Windows 10 now!

Ok, thx for the tip!

Ok, Thx Wrench. I will keep that in mind. Rends

Thx! Great to hear that it can be done. Rends

Hi, I can only reach the website here and there. A lot of times i get a server not responding message. Tried it with IE from Pc and with Safari from my iPad. I can't remember having this trouble with any other website. Any suggestioned?

File Name: Germany terrain rework (Part 1 of 3) File Submitter: Rends File Submitted: 23 March 2014 File Category: Full Terrains This is a major overhaul of Thirdwires stock Germany terrain for Strike Fighters 2 Europe. This mod includes Starys wonderfull GermanyCE hires terrain textures V3 with some small tweaks like grey painted roads or different river colors and a few new tiles. All airfields has been modified with new buildings . A couple are made from scratch. Try out Florians Pferdsfeld or Büchel airbases if you fly for the Nato. They are outstanding! Try Drewitz or Marxwalde or Gerwin field airfields if you are fighting for the Red side . Lots of strike targets has been modified or moved into towns. Hamburg and Wismar got real harbours and you find new objects all over the terrain. I also included hi ho silver's new city night textures and a modified ENVIRONMENTSYSTEM.INI as additional install if you want to fly night missions that looks like real nights. Special thanks to Ravenclaw_007 and 76.IAP-Blackbird. Both made some objects i realy needed for this rework and supported me to create this mod. Another Special thank to Gepard for his German airfields mod. And a special thank to Florian who made the best looking airfields i've ever seen in any Sim! And i want to thank all creators who made all the great objects i used for this mod. Without your work i would never had started this project. Thank you all! Rends Click here to download this file

Ich war im August da. Fand es auch schade, das die Maschinen teilweise Wind und Wetter ausgesetzt sind, was man denen dann auch ansieht. Ärgerlicher fand ich, das etliche NVA Flieger mit Luftwaffe Symbolen daherkamen, die hätte man doch wieder in den Originalzustand versetzen können. Auch das ganze Flak Zeugs das auf dem Weg zur Halle 7 (?) links und rechts der Rollbahn steht, sieht eher aus wie eine Rumpelbude. Dafür waren die Flieger in den Hallen und die Hallen selbst im ordentlichen Zustand. An Duxford kommen die aber trotzdem nicht ran. Da scheint bei den Briten wohl wesentlich mehr Geld vorhanden zu sein.

Just send 10$ via Paypal. Well, i've never noticed the donate button before until someone here told us where to find it. Maybe you should place it at a different more prominent location.

I have a repainted version of the Tower4 in the Terrain folder but the game still use the original one. Wonder why it doesn't work.
