==Story and general notes==
+
''Number of missions:'' <br>
  
The Inferno campaign continues many decades after the events in FS2. A massive mod with 140 new models ranging from the smallest of fighters to the largest capital ships ever seen in FS2 so far.
 
  
Released in July 2003, Inferno Release 1 became more popular than the INF team could imagine. With over 20000 downloads across the internet, R1 continues to be one of the most popular FS2 mods.

Chapter Two: ???
  
Release 1 covers the battle for Sol and the return of the GTVA's nemesis, the Shivans. Release 1 is designed to work as a mod for retail FS2 and so requires a full copy of FS2 to work. SCP users can also download the patch to fix the known issues with normal SCP builds.
 
  
The newer version of Inferno, known as Inferno R2 or Inferno: SCP, uses a custom SCP build, and is completely stand alone, not needing any copy of FS2. Inferno: SCP has not yet been released but is in progress.

Complete Modpacks<br>
  
Another campaign, known as Inferno: Alliance, has been completed and covers what happened in Sol 15 years after the jump node collapsed.
+
===Story and general notes===
 +
There are separate Inferno continuities - the old and the new one. [[Inferno Nostos]] is the only released campaign from new continuity. Status of INFA:SA and it's sequel are uncertain.
  
A new, Standalone version of Inferno: Alliance, with a more involving and compelling plot (addressing the complaints of the community), is now in progress. The Inferno: Alliance Standalone version, or INFASA, will have characters, cutscenes, 30 missions (of which 23 are completely new), some new ships such as the Alcaeus and Latona, and all-new, ammo-based weapons.
+
===Criticisms===
  
A campaign set after Inferno: Alliance, Inferno: Alliance II, focuses on the formation of the EA and the defeat of the Jovian Coalition, the other leading power in Sol.
+
Many community members found what appear to be a few glitches in Inferno:
  
==Inferno Release 1==
+
*Presence of extremely large and unused warships
 +
*Poor plot
 +
*Overpowered weapons
  
Mostly known with the abbreviation INFR1, this is the first release of the Inferno MOD, now compatible with FS Open.
+
While the old continuity may be affected by those problems, the new one will try to solve them in the most effective way.

Currently a WIP MOD, INF:A SA is intended to replace Inferno: Alliance. Two campaigns, INFA1 and INFA2, are part of this MOD. While the first one replaces the old INF:A campaign, the second one will continue the story and serve as partial introduction to INF SCP by describing the birth and the evolution of the [[Earth Alliance]].

Currently a WIP MOD, INF:A SA (or INFASA) is intended to replace Inferno: Alliance with a more complex story and several new combat assets.

The mod is compatible with the FS Port and the presence of small VP files ensures full compatability with many FS Port campaigns using MODs.

Story and general notes

There are separate Inferno continuities - the old and the new one. Inferno Nostos is the only released campaign from new continuity. Status of INFA:SA and it's sequel are uncertain.

Criticisms

Many community members found what appear to be a few glitches in Inferno:

  • Presence of extremely large and unused warships
  • Poor plot
  • Overpowered weapons

While the old continuity may be affected by those problems, the new one will try to solve them in the most effective way.

Old Continuity

Inferno: Release 1

Also known as: INFR1, INF:R1, Inferno: R2, Inferno R2, Inferno: Release 1

Mostly known with the abbreviation INFR1, this is the first release of the Inferno MOD, now compatible with FS Open thanks to a patch.

Inferno R1 Ship Database

Inferno: Release 2

Also known as: INFR2, INF:R2, Inferno: R2, Inferno R2, Inferno: Release 2

Originally supposed to be INFR1's sequel, all progress on INFR2 stopped and the mod has no longer been in development for several years.

Inferno: Alliance

Also known as: INFA, INF:A, INFA1 (may also refer to INFASA)

Inferno: Alliance, or INFA, is another MOD ideated by Woomeister and released in late 2006. It takes place in Sol many years after the collapse of the jump node connecting the system to Delta Serpentis.

An upgrade of INFA, INFASA, is currently in progress. INFASA is intended to fully replace its predecessor.

Inferno: Alliance Ship Database

Debated

Inferno: Alliance Standalone

Also known as: INFA:SA, INFASA, INFA1 (may also refer to INFA)

Currently a WIP MOD, INF:A SA (or INFASA) is intended to replace Inferno: Alliance with a more complex story and several new combat assets. The plot background is the same seen in INFA - after the collapse of the Delta Serpentis jump node, Sol colonies regain their independence and GTA authorities are progressively removed.

The mod is compatible with the FS Port and the presence of small VP files ensures full compatability with many FS Port campaigns using MODs.

The release date has yet to be defined because of intense feature creeping, testing and upgrading.

Inferno: Alliance 2

Also known as: INFA2, INFA:2

Although it's a sequel of INFASA, INFA2 is considerably different from its predecessor. Closer to INF SCP than INFASA, INFA2 will tell the story of the Earth Alliance's efforts in taking full control of Sol by defeating the feared Jovian Coalition.

New Continuity

Inferno Nostos

Also known as: INF SCP, INF Nostos, INFR2

Inferno Nostos will rewrite the story of its predecessor (INFR1) and its supposed sequel. The new MOD has been in the works for many years and features a lot of models and new effects. Changes to the first part of the storyline, the one already seen in INFR1, are considerable under many points of view.
