Vietnam patch problem

[Test Pilot]

Can anyone help? I did a new install of F4. I did the 1.08us patch, then the 108i2 patch, then the F4 patch.exe(expanded). I ran the vietnam theatre download and it shows up as an option in the theater folder on F4patch. When I try to apply the theatre I get this message "Failed to apply patch Vietnam Theater -- File mismatch. C:\MicroProse\Falcon4\F4Patch\terrain\campaign\save\strings.idx does not match C:\MICROPROSE\FALCON4\F4Patch\orig\strings.idx.orig or C:\MICROPROSE\FALCON4\F4Patch\vietnam\new\strings.idx.
Applied patch Vietnam skin pack 1968-72."
Can anyone help me get this running! I also downloaded the phantom cockpits and put them into ckptart. Is this where they belong and how do I select them? Can someone walk me through this step by step from install to running the vietnam campaign so I can get this running. Any help would be appreciated.

Well I have just done pretty much the same thing, fresh Falcon 4 install, 1.08 US, F4Patch v3.2.2 Expanded, Vietnam v0.4 install -- it works fine.

So its basically hard to say, try uninstalling vietnam and then reinstalling it.

Where do you put the ckpt art for the phantom in order to use it in the vietnam campaign. Also, when you run the vietnam install what folder do you put the info that is generated into?

Okay, got it working and even the cockpits. How do I get to fly the phantom. I still have an f-16 skin even though I have the theatre skins patch checked

You need to activate the fly/task any plane patch and then just select F-4E squadron from the Campaign.

Btw download the new Campaign update. The link can be found on the v0.4 area.
