This is developer version of PMC Afghanistan Theater release for Falcon 4 Allied Force and RedViper (should work in OpenFalcon too but I have not tested, Couby hint hint). This version comes with full exe installer and there should be no problems installing it (unless you are AF only user when the installer fails). It has few nasty bugs so thats why its developer only, please do not submit any news/forums posts about this theater to anywhere else as the common users in public do not understand theater dev stuff and I dont want to read their bitching posts about how buggy the theater is.

Install
Delete any and all old Afghanistan theater installs. Read the readme in the release rar. Run the PMC_Afghanistan_Theater_v0.2.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. If you're AF only user, the installer will NOT work for you.
Done!

Falcon 4 - PMC Afghanistan Theater
v0.2 released April 19th, 2007.
This version is really a developer version as there is quite few nasty bugs which the average joe AKA looser would not understand. Please do NOT submit news/forum posts about this theater to anywhere else, you are free to discuss this in PMC Tactical forums or with persons whom you know are developer types who understands what it takes to build a theater. This release it not meant for the public!
We have the new the User Interface (UI) for all falcon versions in this installer, mainly its fixed for AF and OF leaving RV quite empty. OF even has the background image for main screen and campaign. RV has brand new UI file-system so its quite empty, just the basic items are included. 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). As you can see, this is quite developer release but at least we now have one single exe installer for all three different falcon versions with UI, the development from here goes easily and we can drop in quickfixes if they help (like campaign crash fix etc). It was just important to get this theater into the devs now and not next year.
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_v0.2.exe and choose RV/OF or AF.
Done!
If you're AF only user, this installer will NOT work for you as it expects to see original Falcon 4 registry entries. Feel free to check our forums for fix.
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.
