Changelog

Code: Select all

- campaign fictional iran still gives CTD after exit.
- PAK map not perfect (outlines are bit off).
- rivers all over the place, and they seemed very wet. 
- some 3d objects appeared like fata morganas on runway 
- faulty Airport. Name of this Airport is "Udhampur"

--- fixes v0.3
- RV enduring freedom campaign CTD at start, fixed.
- RV user interface missing (maps/flags/etc), fixed.
- RV UI lcktxtrc.irc theater strings tweaked.
- AF UI missing theater label, fixed.

Install

Delete any and all old Afghanistan theater installs. Read the readme in the release rar. Run the PMC_Afghanistan_Theater_v0.3.exe file and choose either RV/OF or AF install depending on your Falcon version. Remember that the installation takes a long time to complete and is extremely heavy on the system, be prepared not to do anything on the background and to reboot your computer after the install is complete.

Done!

And finally the readme:

Code: Select all

	Falcon 4 - PMC Afghanistan Theater

v0.3 released December 21st, 2007.

User Interface (UI) for all falcon versions added. OF even has the background image for main screen and campaign. The fictional Iran campaign will crash on exit, terrain tiles are still the old ones, terrain tiling has quite some errors where most worst is bridges completely in wrong positions (ground unit movement is NOT guaranteed).

Having said all that above, the theater is still enjoyable to fly, I have flown many OCA and SEAD Strike missions against Khandahar in Enduring Freedom campaign, damn those pesky SA-2's in there. I havent had any CTD's in 3d with AF so far (I have tested mostly with AF since its so easy to do add package without waiting for interesting mission).

	Install

1) Run the PMC_Afghanistan_Theater_v0.3.exe and choose RV/OF or AF.

Done!

If you're AF only user, this installer has been now fixed and works ok.

Please take a notice that the LxNormalFix utility is very heavy on your computer, it will cause approx 780mb memory usage so if you're short on memory get prepared for very heavy swapping by win. Its most likely you cant do anything else while the installer run and then you have to reboot your computer. Also if you install to RV or OF there is additional SeasonSwitcher which takes long time to run also.

We are looking for bug reports and feedback. More details can be found at PMC Tactical forums in this theater area where all bug reports should be posted.

We will answer all your questions and then some in the forum. If you do not have account in there, you need to email me so I can create one for you (new user registrations disallowed because of too many spammers). Email me to spam-me address or contact me at Frugals or FreeFalcon forums.

Cool theater I DL-ed it last night and I'll give it a try in few minutes.

I play OF4.5 and I had no issues during installation, everything went smooth and fast. However, since I play OF4.5 I tune my radio (UHF/VHF) manualy so looks like I'll have some problems checking in with ATC.

So the question would be does anyone know where can I download TACAN and Radio channels list for blue ABs in Afghanistan?!

Thank Yous!

i don't think that something like that still exists. the theater is on a too early stage for that, i think.
cheers

Thanks to Pheonix711 for converting another map.. for Afghanstan.

my bad, i can not place/scale the border line layer right on the map correctly, so the national border lines are off. the bad file is dropped.

hmm.. the map work better leave to true expert :wink:

PS- even so, the buggy map with national border, still help in identifing where i am!
