I don't know what the hell you're talking about, Snake, eFalcon doesn't work with this thing at all...

Uninstall
Delete folder
reboot
Defrag
install
Delete mscrvt.dll
reboot
patch 1.08us
reboot
run 1.09 installer.exe
(no expand option so install/expand F4Patch4.0)
reboot
run Vietnam installer
reboot
run...

No airfields, squadron graphic off-center, nothing to join/play.

WTF!

After some problems with they installers wich are now fixed I finally got to flying. Image

All seems to be well although I need more hours..especially during campaign..

Except that level 4 an 5 terrain are not drawn during the install...I tried to run F4patchtinstal again yet with no result ...after some hassle I got the old tinstal to work although a bit better still the fartiles.raw is being drawn wrong..

here a pic on the problem:

btw...I took off from Isreal Image

Okay, finally got it to run by patching to 1.08i2 installing Vietnam, then patching 8i2 w/ eFalcon.

How do you get it to install correctly w/ just 1.09 installer.exe and F4Patch4?

Damn Widowmaker,

How long did that flight take? Must had to make a lot of inflight refuels along the way

Hi,all.

I switched to efalcon.exe(1.09) from 108i2.exe (fresh install) as Snake_Man mentioned that 108i2.exe didn't go well with Vietnam V0.4.

I got some missions scheduled and selected one of them, but it stucked at the pie screen(second pie). Does this happen to all or how I should avoid this?

Snake_Man,

FYI ... I saw a post in this forum somewhere where a guy suggested going into TacEdit and changing the ownership of the Thai bases back to U.S., and that this would fix the problem of flights not being able to take off from those bases. Well, he's absolutely correct. Were setup with 108i2 and the Vietnam addon is working just great now. Our squad has been flying a Vietnam Campaign now for about 30-35 missions and we are now into Day 5. The situation at DaNang is still poor, but were working on it almost every night.

I installed a fresh falcon4+108us+f4patch+veitnam v0.4. All looked good.Tried to run from falcon4 icon,but got "error 81 c:\falcon4\graphics\terrial\tlevel.cpp nov 16 1999". Say the other post, tried all I could, but can't find "ntf4ptinstall.exe" as one suggested.

Hello everyone,

new on the board and to Vietnam theater, Snake Man was so nice as to answer some of my questions, and he provided a link to a new campaign file to eliminate MiG-29s and Tu-16s. When I use this new file, the game crashes on the second picture in the "pie"-screen. Has anyone else had this problem, and is there a fix?
BTW I use eFalcon 1.10

Thanks,

Kout

Its been long time since I ran Vietnam campaign, maybe its time for another upgrade for the installer with all the latest files.

Keep pouring in all kinds of bugreports you can find and I'll do my best to weed those out.
