Creating the Era/Theatre Specific WW2 Install

[Wrench]

Well, it's pretty much covered in the SF/Wo* Knowledge Base, but I think it's time to repost in here

http://combatace.com...ecific-install/

Basically, the instructions are the same for creating ANY 'Theatre/Era/Whathaveyou' type of install, as we all know
EDIT: just ignore the bits & references about the 1stGen 06 patch. We're in SF2 now, my friends! You'll be using an SF2 exe of your choice!! :)

1) Copy/paste **.exe of your choice (for WW2, the SF2NA.exe is suggested as it seems to support carrier/naval operations better than any other) up and back into your
C:\Program Files (x86)\ThirdWire\Strike Fighters 2 folder.

It'll show as ***-copy.exe. You rename to whatever theatre you want, say PTO.exe.

2) Create new shortcut for the PTO.exe.

3) click shortcut, and allow the game to build the new mods folder. Pick a plane, and start a mission. Sit in the cockpit for a few seconds, and exit. Exit game.

From here on, it's pretty much the same as in the link above. Now, you can start adding the various ground objects, terrains, aircrafts, sounds, guns, nekked wemon, menu screens, etc.

 

Also, remember, you MUST have the nations ini with the various WW2 nations resident in the /Flight folder. Create that folder, if doesn't exist already

further questions, comments, etc; just ask!!

we have nekked wemon available?

 

 

one more note, it's good to adjust single missions start dates in options.ini otehrwise no map or plane might be available or the available mission date will be off (say 1948 onwards)
