VN beta 4 - what should I have?

[sjponeill]

I've installed beta 4 over a clean F4 install and it seems toi work OK (even though the left wing does drag on take off), however I am not too sure what I should have. If I fire up the campaign, I default to flying an F-4 in Vietnam albeit with an F-16 cockpit. In instant action, I find myself in a F-16 over Vietnam; and there don't seem to be any TE single mission scenarios (or can I d/l these from somewhere else - I recall a note in beta 2 saying only to use the scenarios from PMC.

I'm new to both F4 and the VN betas so it may be that I am wasting your time (if so, sorry) if not, can someone give me some pointers on what I should be doing?

Someone had similiar problem that the aircraft was tilted in the runway, I have never encountered this myself.

That is correct if you selected F-4E Squadron. We dont have F-4E cockpit yet, but were working on it

That is correct, I havent even studied yet if instant action default aircrafts can be changed.

There is no TE missions provided with the release and none can be downloaded, we simply havent done TE missions. Basically most stuff related to Beta 2 is old information with Beta 4.

Seems to me that the theater works pretty nicely on you, except the left-wing drag. Just start to fly some mission in campaign and see how it goes.

Thanks - read around some more and fixed the left wing drop by installing the Rp4.1 patch less the one that is not compatible with the VN mod.

Campaign missions work great, less my sorry piloting skills some times.
