Re: ods faq vague
The ntF4PTinstall.exe should be in your falcon directory, is it?
What is your operating system?

Ok... I figured that much.quote:Originally posted by red145:

You can download the Tinstall package from this link.
http://www.pmctactical.org/f4/downloads/Tinstall.zip
Instructions:
- Unzip Tinstall.zip to your falcon dir.
- Make sure you have Desert Storm applied with F4Patch.
- Run ntF4PTinstall.exe and click Create.
Make sure the path is correct, if you have ODS applied with F4Patch it will point to the right directory. If not, you need to manuall select it. It should point to the <falcondir>\terrdata\DesStorm where <falcondir> is your... ehm directory where the falcon is installed. by default this is like C:\MicroProse\Falcon4\ I think (never used it personally).
After you click Create, it starts to rebuild the terrain. This rebuild takes some time depending on your CPU/HD speed, be patient. The manual says you need to wait at least 10 minutes of no HD activity before trying to reboot etc if you think its failed. To me Tinstall has never failed by locking up, if it fails it will clearly display "Failed" text on the screen.
After it has rebuilt the terrain files you are free to start up falcon and try to fly.
Hmm anything else you need to know about this, just ask.
