Which Tinstall version?

Post by Quicksilver »

Sorry guys, just wanted to know why are there 2 .exe versions in the Tinstall zip. Is each required for a specific Falcon version? Nothing critical, just curious...

ntF4PTinstall - 2 byte terrain files.
SPTinstall - 4 byte (todays standard) terrain files.

Just to add that the Korean terrain is rebuilt in SP3 to convert it to the 4byte format.

I believe that all theatres are now using this format - Snakeman?

Umm yes. There was some plan in back of my head to leave the existing Vietnam and ODS installers + web pages to some back corner of this web domain.

Maybe someone still uses RP5 and needs compatible theater. I don't know, there never will be any support for these from us but since they are working theaters... oh well maybe this just creates confusion as some faint memory of "non SPx theaters" exist :)

As can be seen, our nam and ODS pages still state pretty much the old eF/108i2RP5 facts. Even our faq page has most questions aimed for them. I have been to lazy to change them and since there has not been release, yet.

But for short answer to your question: Yes.
