I have been on a bit of a retro kick recently buying lots of those old PC games with full manuals and I was wondering if I can use the SF1 manual with SF2 to re-familiarise myself with the keys. I dont believe SF2 had a physical release...or did it?

I am on win 11, I will re download all 4 files and use 7zip to open then, hopefully this will remove the chance of user error at my end

Hiya, I have downloaded all 4 of the ODS files but i keep getting this message when i try to extract: I am assuming its something with the naming as 2 of the files dont show up as zip files

Oh i have modern joysticks, i just wanted to go the whole retro experience, shy of buying an old PC the game and the joystick are as close as i can get

So i have just bought a Rockfire USB/15 pin adaptor to use with a Thrustmaster Top Gun joystick i bought a while ago. Now the joystick connects and i can see the axis, buttons and hat working on the Game Controller screen, albeit the axis movement is very restricted compare to modern sticks. It seems to work fine with old dosbox games but when I try a slightly newer game it doesnt seem to work right, the axis worked fine in Jane's Fighter Anthology, but in others like Janes USAF and MS Combat Flight Sims 1/2/3 the axis didnt work properly and even did stuff like fire guns or missiles when you moved the stick. So is this just a settings issue, either on the Rockfire adaptor or ingame or is it a fools errand to try and use these old flight sticks today?

So what exactly is SF EXP1 and EXP2? When i click them i get Israel and Europe, are they enhanced versions of those 2? Oh and are there any reasons to use the Europe, Israel or Vietnam shortcuts over the North Atlantic (or NF5) one? Do they do anything different?

Thanks for the help

So I am looking at one of the RAF Phantom mod packs here and the instructions say to remove original TW aircraft (i have the FG1 dlc as well). What my issue is there seems to be a set of F-4Ks and Ms in almost every folder in the Saved Games section, so do i need to remove the models from every folder i find them in or just from the NA folder as thats the latest expansion?

Ok i know i came across as a bit of an arse, but who here hasnt got annoyed to find something that used to be free and unrestricted is now restricted or behind a paywall? I will pay at some point to do a load of downloading so dont worry

An all in one pack with modern aircraft like the F-15E, A-10C, F-35, F-22, Eurofighter and the latest Flanker variants? Or do i need to download them individually? Which can be frustrating with the 2 download limit

Just installed this mod and the game crashed when i tried Instant Action, Single mission was fine.

Also, since when did you have to pay for the NATO fighters mod? Or is it a glitch? If its not a glitch its a bit of a cheeky thing letting you download the first 2 parts for free and then asking for money

can i just copy my SF2 install folder somewhere or do i need to install a 2nd copy properly?

Like the Nato fighters mod?

That was it...thanks
