I have just installed the new RP falcon patch and the Vietnam add-on, both for the first time.
I believe that I followed all instructions but I am unable to get to Vietnam. The theatre choice in game only says 'Korea', but when I eject the credit screen gives 'Vietnam' information so it should be tere somewhere.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Re: No Vietnam
Follow up to previous post -
I do seem to have the Vietnam map in the top right corner of the entry screen, but it is called 'Korea' and this is what confused me. The landscape appears different, but if I click on 'Campaign' all reference seems to be to Korea - is this right or is there something else I can do?
I followed all instructions closely during installation.
Thanks

Re: No Vietnam
Alarm.
You have done something wrong, if Theater Switcher program cant find Vietnam, then its missing the registry entry at least. Click on the VietnamRegistry.reg file first.
Hmm I suggest you do full re-install and follow the instructions in the readme. Also one of our forum users posted very detailed install instructions just few days ago, check that out.
