Title says it all. I am really interested in this WW2 pacific addon for SF2. I currently don't own any of the Third Wire titles, so I was just wondering if RS will work with the Vietnam "version" of SF2 only. I am not that much interested in the Middle East theater, but Vietnam... Hell yes! So, with SF2: Vietnam I would be actually bying two very interesting sims, but if I instead have to buy the "vanilla" SF2, I think the original game is somewhat wasted money with me.

Sorry if this is already addressed here, but I couldn't find a clear answer searching RS forums. It seems to me, that most are using original SF2 with Vietnam here...

I am running Vista 64-bit, so I would be naturally purchasing the Win 7 version of RS, if that matters somehow.

Maybe this thread will help. I'd say yes if you make these adjustments.

Works fine here with SF2V except the missing cockpit straps and I also have the problem with one Wake intercept mission someone here mentioned earlier: when mission starts, my Wildcat just immediately explodes in its bunker.

Strange.

Otherwise my first impression is quite good with this. Flight model seems perhaps a bit light and easy, but graphics are quite adequate so no complaints from here even after just playing the patched IL2: CoD with high settings hahaha I think a good comparison is BoB2:WoV patched up to date and overall look is pretty similar. Ground texture quality is roughly the same, RS has better cockpits and models as BOB2 has IMO better water.
