	Falcon 4 - PMC Vietnam Theater

v0.9 released June 12th, 2007.

This version has same 128 resolution terrain tiles as previous version, they arent looking good but will have to do for now (its difficult to find texture artists nowadays). The campaigns have been tweaked to work with present day F4 codes, two campaigns added for the fictional present day theater. Database for the historical theater have been edited for all F4 versions to remove the weapons not present in that era. User Interface has been made for all Falcon versions including instant action and campaign squadron selection maps, the PAK map screen is still missing proper sizes. Also tons of other small fixes and tweaks have been done since last release.

Please note that if you play the historical campaign in AF, then you only can choose one aircraft; AWACS, as AF by default does not support flying other aircrafts. You are on your own to try to fly the historical campaign, we suggest you fly the fictional one with F-16's.

Please do NOT submit news/forum posts about this theater to anywhere else, you are free to discuss this in PMC Tactical forums or with persons whom you know are developer types who understands what it takes to build a theater. This release it not meant for the public!

There is the old PDF manual included in the download package, its pretty much unchanged from the last release, I just changed few addresses and basic info. If anyone want to contribute for the manual, I would be very happy. Let me know in the forum if you want to help document this theater.

	Install

1) Run the PMC_Vietnam_Theater_v0.9.exe and choose RV/OF or AF.

Done!

If you're AF only user, this installer will NOT work for you as it expects to see original Falcon 4 registry entries. Feel free to check our forums for fix.

Please take a notice that the LxNormalFix utility is very heavy on your computer, it will cause approx 780mb memory usage so if you're short on memory get prepared for very heavy swapping by win. Its most likely you cant do anything else while the installer run and then you have to reboot your computer. Also if you install to RV or OF there is additional SeasonSwitcher which takes long time to run also.

We are looking for bug reports and feedback. More details can be found at PMC Tactical forums in this theater area where all bug reports should be posted.

We will answer all your questions and then some in the forum. If you do not have account in there, you need to email me so I can create one for you (new user registrations disallowed because of too many spammers). Email me to you wish address or contact me at Frugals or FreeFalcon forums.
