Im going to reinstall SF2 after a long time away from it. What are the current mods everyone is using? What are the must have user created addons?
Thanks in advance for any advice.

Hey Beach,, Great screen shots...I haven't fired up SF in a while and am whoohfully behind in updates and downloads. But the terrain looks really improved from what I remember.

Needs to be the VietnamSEA folder:
C:\Users\<>\Saved Games\ThirdWire\StrikeFighters2V\Terrains\VietnamSEA
Note the location - this is for the mod folders NOT where the core game files are installed.
Create the Terrains and VietnamSEA folders yourself if they are not there by default (cant remember)

I've tried to get the mods to work without success. I noticed that in these main folders that there are CAT files. Do you have to extract the CAT files? You are in the wrong place - your mod folders (where you need to add mods to) will be in Saved games by default as the path I've posted above. You don't need to extract anything for Green Hell - just put the files in the right place

Thanks for the assistance! I had to manually create the Terrains folder. Works great now!

Whats your PC specs? If you still have any SF1 series games they might be better for your hardware.
It will run on XP - but the SF2 series is better on multi core CPUs, Win 7 and its DX10 (WIn XP in DX9 only)

That's very low spec for flight sims - so probably forget anything like you see on AV8Rs shots.
They originally were supported on XP but SF2NA wont run on XP (without downloading a modded terrain) - so can see why its only vista/7
You could run SF2 with vastly reduced graphics settings and DX9 only - but its your own risk if you buy.

As a data point, with my antique CPU but fairly recent GPU, I get quite good performance (30-60fps) and quality (Unlimited) in SF2 (and OK performance in DCS and Falcon with low AI density) . Windows 8, Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 3ghz, 8GB RAM . GeForce 560 640mb @ 1920x1200 32bpp 96dpi
