RV install ok.

test fly few campaign, ok, no CTD.

in the second theater- iraqi freedom?, the second campaign/the middle one.. only blue and white airbase visible on map and selectable.. seems missing red force?

exit game, no CTD.

pak outlines exceeds map margin. unable to prioritize pak.


BTW.. the blue force is truely overwhelming!!

[Snake Man]

Yes this works on all Falcon 4 versions, including Allied Force.

You obviously didn't succesfully download it (ie 100% complete). Use util like wget or some other resume download thingy to complete it.

[RingoSurf]

ok i supposed this

so i'm using a specific utility now
thanks

[RingoSurf]

for only falcon4 AF users installation ok!

[Snake Man]

Excellent, nice to hear it works ok for AF only guys. This concludes our development nicely
