Hello all,

After seeing this series of screen shots, I'm ready to spring for SF2 "entirely" to fly in the Korean war (I don't have an interest in jet combat beyond that time period).

In looking over the Korean Air War add-on, plus this wonderful set of tiles/objects, I'm fine with the retail outlay, and I want to bring in everything on this list:

Requirements:
SF2 Israel, SF2 Vietnam, SF2 Europe, July 2012 patch level or above.

Recommended but not necessary:
SF2 Expansion Pack 1, SF2 Expansion Pack 2, SF2 North Atlantic.

I've found everything on the Third Wire site except the Expansion packs. The Expansion Packs only show up at free download sites. Google has old links into Third Wire to buy the Expansion packs at retail, but they are dead ends.

Are the free download Expansion packs legit?

I used to have an extensively modified version of FE2, so I may have some of the pieces already. I can't remember which SF2 pieces the FE2 installation is based on.

Just want to have my ducks in a row and know I can put all the pieces together before I do this.

Thanks for the help in advance!

Bucksnort the various sites with the "free" expansionpacks are most likely pirate stuff and I'd avoid them for various reasons maliceware included

SFP1's original Korea was easily one of if not the best mods for SFP1. The latest/greatest SF2 Korea is even better. It is a great experience being able to fly virtually any aircraft/mission that historically occurred in Korea. For pure F-86 vs MiG-15 combat, I enjoy DCS World more at this point because of the flight and systems modeling. But If you want anything more, nothing else beats SF2. You can fly night missions with Skyknights and Tigercats, ground attack missions with F-51, F-84, F-86, F9F, F4U, F2H, etc. You can fly red side, or other UN forces as well. If you enjoy the terrain, the time frame, and the history that goes with it, it will be a very long time before you get bored with SF2 Korea.

well SF has scale. open modding allows community addons for any aircraft so KAW is mostly complete aircraft wise.
plus a dynamic campaign engine;
plus decent AI;
plus not bad damage modeling.

it is "low-fi" but it is FUN.





you also learn stuff. for example what i learned about the F-86 series' wing evolution (below is from myself's modding notes):

F-86F 6-3 wing for reference. one small change for wing, one big change for the aircraft!..

result of 6-3 extension

lift area+ wing loading- ceiling+ climb+;
zero lift drag-, max speed+;
aero center+, stability-, bombing accuracy-;
chord+, aspect ratio-, induced drag+;
roll response-;
high sub sonic vortex gen, critical alpha+ max lift+ instantaneous rate+ (a2a prowess+);
deletion of slats, stall speed+ low speed handling- low speed maneuverability-;

summary: increased a2a effectiveness but also brings quite a few vices, especially design intention 6 AR, 4.78 final early slatted, 6-3 extension makes it worse

result of 86F-40 12in wingtip extension vs base 6-3

lift area+ wing loading-;
zero lift drag+, max speed-;
aero center-, stability+;
aspect ratio+, induced drag-, sustained rate+;
roll response-;
slats restored, stall speed- low speed handling+ low speed maneuverability+;
slats improved open at high sub sonic, critical alpha+ max lift+ instantaneous rate+;

summary: best wing of the series

series summary: 86E best handling, underpowered; most a2a prowess at its time 86F 6-3 w/o 12in ext; most technical maturity 86F 6-3 w/ 12in ext, a little outdated 54'-55' time wise.

Thanks for all this good feedback, guys!

Still haven't pulled the trigger, but will on the next slow rainy day. I found some YouTube vids of the KAW mod for SF2 that blew my mind!

Also, won't be touching the what appeared to be pirated expansion packs. I just didn't see that "Show All Windows 7" button at the bottom of the page.

Apart from the legality and the fact that they own the copyrights, little companies like Third Wire need our support even if they have stopped developing this product. They might come back if they see a steady stream of income still coming from an old product.

So I'm in at full retail. smile
