Wonderful! Thank you very much for this detailed tutorial man, much appreciated. Very well made video and everything explained clearly. You've got yourself a new sub! Now consider creating gameplay tutorials ;)
My account on combatace, which i had since like 2012, recently got suspended for no apparent reason. So i went and created a new one and after i validated my email, that account got suspended too. feelsbadman
So happy to hear from you, buddy! It's been a while. Yeah, I went to the site just a few days after I put this up and saw that it had come back from the dead.
@@devinhorner2358 my boy and I have been watching your more recent videos mate, it's usually one of the first things he asks me, "has Devin put a new video up yet?!". It really does spark his imagination, he asks me loads of questions off the back of the info you impart. 😀
Hi. I am new to the SF2 world and its modding. I have a question. I want to install SF2V Air & Ground War Expansion Pack v2.0 Gold. I have all versions of SF and update May2013. I have the contents of the "To_Mod_Folder" folder inserte into StrikeFighters2 Vietnam \ or the basic StrikeFighters2 ? I apologize for my question, but I have some chaos in it :)
You can actually put it in either one. I would recommend keeping it simple and put the files into your SF2 Vietnam folder. Run the .exe for Vietnam and the content will be there.
Helo great videos and very clear instruction ! May i ask is it possible to add custom livery for a specific planes into the game ??? For example F-14 ??? Since it used on many squadrons irl
Thank you for a good video. This is one of my most loved Military Flight Sim. I love the Dynamic Campaign in it. What is your reason for flying this older flight sim?
I fly it because I also like the dynamic campaign. That's what most flying sims were like when I was a kid, and most new games focus more on multiplayer and pre-made missions. I also enjoy the cold war aircraft more than modern equipment.
Its interesting that you're not the first to ask for that. Are there specific things that you would like to see? I have some ideas but I'm not sure what people have in mind.
I didn't understand, I have SF-2, SF-2 Israel, Europe, Vietnam, Expansion Pack 1 and 2, North Atlantic. Updates (Mar2012) Tools: Extractor, Guns Editor, Weapons Editor I have to install each setup in that order. But now I'm learning that Israel Europe are differents games sooo I uninstalled them and want to merge everything into the SF-2 game so that I can play the Israel, Europe, Vietnam from that one launcher, also where do I install Expansion Pack 1 and 2 and what about the Update and Tools?
Hey Devin I have the SF2V Air & Ground War Expansion Pack v2.0 Gold edition mod folder in both folders but for some reason it is still not working? I am currently running on the latest version of SF2 and I am on windows 10.
Try going to your mod folder and open options.ini. Under single missions, ensure that the path is correct to wherever your mod folder lives. I had trouble with that a couple of times and the game was looking at the wrong mod folder
Hey Devin Hey Devin I have the SF2V Air & Ground War Expansion Pack v2.0 Gold edition and everything's is going great except for the fact that the a6 intruder does not have a cockpit?
If that doesn't work, try re-copying the Gold edition files into your mod folder. I found that randomly some files were not transferring properly and doing a second pass restored textures and other random things. If that still doesn't work the cockpit might need to be enabled in the .ini file. I can walk you through that, if necessary
I am trying my best to install the desert storm mod to Strike Fighter wings over europe. I am having an hard time. I wish I had someone that can walk me though it.
I want to download a mod. But I cannot access the website to download a mod and says you dont have perrmission to access this page. What is wrong with CombatACE page now? 😫
@@devinhorner2358 As of now. The good news is I can access the site page, but only in my laptop pc. But the bad news is in my tablet note device, its forbidden. I do my home chores in the sun. I only fly SF2E at night. So I use tablet note device to see new uploads. But anyways. Thanks for the reply. More power to you! Greetings from 🇵🇭.
I tried to use the link you used but when I clicked the "1" displayed on the website is sent me to a different looking screen but with files increasing from 1
It is a bit weird. In that "Mega" window, highlight the first file "001" and click up top on "Download as ZIP". It'll process and after you download it, you can unpack it with the 7Zip program. When I did it I actually downloaded all those files, but only the first one ended up opening, so I think its the only one thats necessary. I didn't have to sign up or sign in to that program so don't worry about all that.
I downloaded usimg the link and the audio isn't working properly. Not all the sfx are there and there's a weird thing with engine noise (can only hear it looking left or right) any suggestions?
Hmmm. I'm not sure. Maybe you can try reinstalling over what you already have. Also maybe look in the options and make sure the max number of sound channels is selected. It sounds like you're middle channel isn't playing, so also double check the computer itself. I've never had sound files not install, but I have had textures not move and re-installing did the trick.
@@devinhorner2358 thank you. I believe I have all channels open. I wonder if its cause I'm not going through th computers headphone out? (I have an audio interfaced) amd what do you mean by reinstalling over what I have already?
@@brycedahlke9078 Yeah if i remember right they come with the installer exe? Maybe see if you can run it again over what you already have to fill in the holes. If that's not possible maybe a clean install is needed. I haven't a clue, really, so your guess is just as good as mine. I was just thinking it sounds like the computer is looking for the middle speaker in a surround sound setup and not finding it.
@@devinhorner2358 hmmmm. Hopefully its just some prefrences I need to change. This makes me think my interface could be the culprit. Thanks for the replys. I'm assuming combatace is still regularly monitored? Maybe ill ask over there too. Also can't wait for more vids always entertaining and informative.
@@brycedahlke9078 yeah they're apparently back up with selling the game on their page so they should still be monitoring. Maybe someone has more insight on it. Sorry I cant be of more help.
The windows 10 version is still unavailable for purchase, is there anyway to get the windows 7 version running on windows 10? Im having trouble finding anything related to that
Yes, the Windows 7 version works fine with most people. My newer videos are all on the Win7 version in Windows 10. I had little to no problem. The other version has claimed to be under development for years now, I have no idea if it will ever actually be available
@@devinhorner2358 Awesome thats good to hear, as that was the main thing holding me back from buying the system as my hardware is very modern. My urge to fly the f4 and fly dynamic campaigns always drew me to strike fighters but the developer seems so intent on making it outwardly difficult to get into lol
how tf do you make an account on combatace? i keep getting suspended, ive read the terms and services and ive used my personal emails and shit still didnt work. whats with the system there jeez
I don't know much about that, but I googled it and it looks like that message comes up when a file is corrupted. Try re-downloading the file and unzipping it again. Also, you could try unzipping it with a different program, maybe that would help.
@@devinhorner2358 I tried using winrar and it says cannot open file. I have already bought the europe version of the game but i wanted to get the North Atlantic pack too. Would you know any other sources i could get it free from?
Thanks for the vid, I got my hands on the game and its pure fun, but I'm sure you know the Store is back up now, and while the link does have all of the main updates, and some DLC it doesn't seem to have all of the plane packs dlc...I can already feel my wallet getting lighter.
Haha oh man, that figures the store would come back up after I announced to the world that they were done with the game. Well it's good that there's another avenue for people to get the game
Watching your vid, I was finally able to add planes I wanted to the game. Thank you.

Nice, and of course Combatace is my go to for mods.
Devin, the Thirdwire PC store links are live again. :o)

That 3D shooter legends website is a GOLD MINE!
Helo great videos and very clear instruction ! May i ask is it possible to add custom livery for a specific planes into the game ??? For example F-14 ??? Since it used on many squadrons irl
Yes each plane has specific textures for each squadron. They can be selected in single missions or assigned to a squadron in the campaign setup files
will u plz make a video how to install desert storm campaign and thnx

Can you do a basic tutorial on the game ? that will be great
Its interesting that you're not the first to ask for that. Are there specific things that you would like to see? I have some ideas but I'm not sure what people have in mind.
@@devinhorner2358 I would like a video breaking down the basics things on the online manual on their website, there is lots of unclear stuff.
i got one problem, is if i alt tab out of the game i can't bring it back it won't.
@@JeremyFisher Have the same problem here, kinda annoying but nothing I can do about it. Never really knew why it happens :/
@@frosty5122 damn it would have been cool to alt tab
I didn't understand, I have SF-2, SF-2 Israel, Europe, Vietnam, Expansion Pack 1 and 2, North Atlantic.

where can i download this game for free
@@OfficialStorySculptor unfortunately you can’t get it for free. Anyway it is affordable and cheap

Make sure you install the additional Flight of the intruder A-6, that might be what adds the cockpit.
If that doesn't work, try re-copying the Gold edition files into your mod folder.
