Error message

Post by Gimpy »

:? When trying to install ODS I get the following message:
F4Patch V3.2 or above is required for this installation. Install and expanded the latest version of F4Patch.

I have version 4.1??
I can't wait to try ODS, I gave up a while back but now that I can refuel I need the challenge.

1. make sure your Falcon4 is SP3.
2. PMC theaters wont need f4patch during installation. its one, or three-click job.

CCC,

It is SP3. I think I will re-download ODS, maybe it is bad? I installed Vietnam a while ago with no problems.

Gimpy,
I had the same problem installing ODS using a download from another site I kept getting the same error message. I downloaded ODS V0.3 from this site and had no problems with the install. they both said they were V0.3 but they had diffrent splash screens I did notice. The one that works has the refueling background.

Alicatt,
You are dead on, worked EXACTLY the same way for me.

Sanke Man,
Is this a known problem? Are you laughing at me?

Anyway, it is working great and has given the sim new life for me yet again. I had the most satisfying mission in Falcon to date last night. BARCAP, shoot down a couple 21's, get chased out of Iraq by a couple 25's and refuel on fumes.

Thanks PMC!!

Its not a problem of ODS. Its problem of user who cannot determine the difference on "Desert Storm BETA v0.1" and "ODS SP v0.3"

Only thing I'm sorry about this is that simhq.com and f4community.com that havent added the new SP installer into their download page (where you must have downloaded the eF/108i2 version), or they havent removed the eF/108i2 version. It just confuses people like it did you... such a shame.

You might email the site where you downloaded and tell them what you think about this.

Oh details details....

I was obviously blinded by the excitement, and see that it was warranted, this is a great theater.
