Excellent! Thank you for the confirmation.

Looks like to the use of a "AlternateType" line in the .ini files may be the ticket..

I have had SF2 Vistnam since it first came out and, if memory serves, have always used eburger's great Vietnam add-on. Just reinstalled SF2 V to its latest version and did the same for eburger's mod. May be I was asleep but I see the mod now needs SF2 and SF2 E to work because of the 4 needed aircraft from the latter named games.. I only have SF2 V and never desired to fly anything else and am somewhat reluctant to spend $60.00. Can I manually edit the campaign files and change these 4 aircraft to something already included? Or does someone have an easier trick?

Well maybe I had better save my 2009 version just in case I have some compatibility issues with eburger's mod. Guess I can manually patch the old version if needed - I hope not as it sounds awfully complicated. Thanks gentlemen.

Download all done. Of interest the d/l is about 100 MB smaller than it was in 2009. Wonder what's up with that?

Many thanks sir! Your idea of a re-download was an excellent one! And it's dated July 2013. Much easier than trying to figure out a patch sequence. Luckily I still had that old e-mail account and I requested a new access code and 10 seconds latter I was downloading away....

Oh boy....patching should not be this complicated. However your idea of a re-Download is a good one. Hopefully I can find that e-mail. Thanks.

Hmmm...ok thanks. Is the latest SF2 patch all inclusive? Is that the only one I need?

Yes...the whole "which patch for which type of install" adds greatly to the confusion and the patch "read me's" ain't a help!

Forgive me if this has been asked before (I am sure it must have) but a forum search did not help me. Getting back into SF2V after a year off. I have SF2V (and only SF2V - no expansions purchased) that I purchased in 2009. At the Third Wire site the last patch specifically for SF2V is May 2011 which I have. I am going to do a fresh install of it and eburger's wonderful Vietnam add-on from CombatAce here. Is May 2011 the last patch I need for my straight SF2V install? Thanks in advance. I have been to several forums and can't find a point blank answer.

That's awesome. Please let us know how it goes.

For me: P4 3.6 Dual core 4 GB RAM WIN XP 32 bit GTX 460 v2 card with 1 GB Way below spec but WOFF runs great.
