Installation and other problems

Post by Avro123 » 2002-07-02 19:12:00

To PMC people ...

As a newcomer to alternative F4 theatres can I ask that you include some installation instructions with your theatres.(Or perhaps someone can point me in the direction of some on the website that I missed) I downloaded the European Theatre Beta and ran the the install program and assumed that that was all I needed to do (the web page does say "Just click the installer to install it") but when I went in to F4 (SP3) there was no European theatre to select. I then found after searching the forums another installation program (SPTinstall.exe) that I needed to run. Back into F4 - still no luck. Eventually after perusing the forums a bit more I found another reference to manually editing the Theater.lst file, manually edited it and hey presto it appears in F4. Surely the installation program should modify this file ? Also the in the 2nd FAQ for SP2/3 it neglects to tell you which file the text it refers to should be inserted in. :(

Also had a complete system lockup while in th 3d cockpit in campaign mode :(

I am using WinME.

Thats true. WinME just seems to fail the two essential operations. SPTinstall and theater.lst

It should. I don't know why it does not work on WinME.

I will add note to the pages somewhere that there is installation issue under WinME.

Ah good catch! Thank You!

FAQ page has now been edited to indicate the filename to edit.

Sounds like an non leveled airbase... I'll try to check these in next version.

Known issue with 128 theaters and its "fixed" in next version.
