Installation:

Extract the RAR in too the MTW2 Folder. (for instance "c:\program files\MTW2")
After the extraction is complete you'll find flandersfaction.bat in the MTW2 Folder, simply click this twice to run the mod :wink:


NOTE: if you want the small ingame movies to work (such as the assasination movies for example) do this:

Open the Data folder in MTW2 Directory, then open the fmv folder and select the following folders:
-assasinate
-event
-generic
-infiltrate
-sabotage

Right click and then click copy.

Then open the flandersfaction folder in the MTW2 directory (NOT THE FLANDERSFACTION FOLDER IN THE DATA DIRECTORY), open the fmv folder
and paste the folders you copied before in it. Done.
