The North Vietnamese Airforce? As I understand it WOV & YAP only allow you to fly US missions, while the Migs are AI; I was wondering if any of the games allow you to fly the Mig 19 or the Mig 21? (I am only asking because modders working with DBW -an IL2 1946 fan made addon- have succeeded in 'adding' early supersonic Jets including the Mig 19 & 21 but they are totally beyond my meager technical ability to install). I was hoping Third Wire will allow me to just install it & play with a minimum of fuss...

Combatace is the place to find all your modding needs. There are several downloadable and flyable migs.

Are these mods & Migs for YAP & WOV?

Never tried yap. There are some for wov. If I remember right there's a campaign you can fly for the red team.

There was a pretty good one called Charlies Aces or something like that, even included vietnamese speech pack.

For Strike Fighters 2 Vietnam there is this http://combatace.com/files/file/11794-sf2v-air-ground-war-expansion-pack-v20-vpaf-add-on/ AddOn for the SF2V Air & Ground War Expansion Pack v2.0

Though I don't know if there is something similar for WOV

All Ai plane in the thirdwire series is pretty easy to make flyable just add a cockpit and a cockpit line in the plane.ini file and it is flyable.

If you have the campaign customizer DLC you can fly for N. Vietnam, choose whatever (flyable) plane you want in the customization selection and choose side "North Vietnam". You have to type in the unit name, "921st Regiment", etc. I'd recommend turning speech volume to "off" .

OK; so then, as I understand it, there is no purchase-able add on DVD that has NVAF units; right, just downloadable mods?

Yep.

Nice video!

Related question. I added old SEAVietnam terrain to current games based on SF2 North Atlantic. Game freezes up. Is there anyway to use SEAVietnam terrain in those or will I have to get terrain from expansion pack?

Its still essentially the same VietnamSEA in SF2

If you have just plonked an old folder that has old ini files in it etc then thats why its locking up - you could probably use the image files from it okay.

Can you not just use this http://combatace.com/files/file/14268-green-hell-35/ - best one yet by miles

Also make sure the terrain sits in the Terrains folder in your MOD folders - not the core game folders

OK..So I placed Green Hell in terrains folder for SF2 WOI and SF2 North Atlantic. Vietnam not even show up as an available choice. Must be missing a key file element (?)

Do you have SF2 Vietnam merged with those?

If not you wouldn't have the rest of the Terrain files in the CATs for Vietnam - the Greenhell mod probably only has the tiles and few other files.

SF@ Vietnam is not installed . Hence my question above. I may have old cat files from SF1 but that will probably not work.

yes it will

place the VietnamSEA.cat in the core install's /Terrains folder.

extract the main and data inis,

create NEW VietnamSEA subfolder in whichever mods folder you want it in.

place those 2 inis there.

you'll have to edit the shader statements in the data ini, and there's a whole "How To" Tutorial in the SF2 Knowledge base at CombatAce.
