Panther Senior Member Registered: 07/10/05 Posts: 4182 Loc: Nellis AFB, NV	I have seen several people with this same problem day after day so: Quote: http://www.lead-pursuit.com/FAQ_01.htm I hear the Intro video music, but no movie shows. Sometimes I also can not get into the User Interface - the parachute icon shows, but I need to press CTRL+ALT+DEL to close the program. What is wrong? You might have installed a 3rd party video codec packages. They can cause all possible issues and problems. For example, the K-Lite video codec package is known to cause problems with Falcon 4.0 Allied Force. If you have this installed, do the following: Open Klite Codec pack > Configuration > Fddshow > Video decoder configuration and change the MP42 format entry to disabled by clicking on libavcodec. As a result the standard MS codec will play the AVI movies and FDDshow is not used for this type. Falcon will run fine with movies then.

Additionally you will only get a black screen (+ mouse pointer) once past when the movie would play. Use any of the Quincunx AA modes or 2xAA. _________________________ What WW2 Fighter pilots say about Angels and Airspeed: "Nice job of getting down to the basics - love your choice of a cover!" Col.

Kolmo Junior Member Registered: 01/14/09 Posts: 34 Loc: Valencia, Spain	There is another, more "elegant" solution in the case of the K-lite codecs, but will work in another as well, I guess. In K-lite Codec Pack-> Configuration-> Ffdshow Video Decoder -> Direct Show control -> Add the Falcon AF exe to the exception list.

Just deleting the video or disabling it from the Falcon setup won't work, since everytime you'll change the campaign scenario Falcon will crash. (Or the video in the small window that appears just won't show, or it will show just a black square... I don't remember).
