Hi there,

I digged out some info for ya.


Back in the days I did this dance:

F4
1.08
SP4
SP4.2HiRes
payware HiTiles
BMS2.0
BMS2_NoSSE
SP4.2_BMS_Data_V1
Cockpits
BaZT

Note that BMS2_NoSSE patch for systems that don't support SSE.

And there was some info, posted by Ratty back in the days:
Quote:

the various patches came out as follows:
1/Sp4
2/UnofficialSp4.1 <---now redundant was brought out by me to combat some bad bugs.
3/Sp4.1
4/Sp4.1 BMS Data patch <--exclusively for Sp4.1 and BMS ONLY.
5/Sp4.2
6/Sp4.2 BMS Data Patch <--again only for Sp4.2 and BMS.
7/Radar patch for BMS all versions.
8/Sp4.2 OCI one click installer (made by Ktel) also includes MP5-1 exe for better Multiplayer. And also has the MP5-1 fixes.

In an nut shell here are the install instructions for these patches ONLY. Not for BaZT, extra pits or anything NON F4UT rellated.
You will note that stand alone Sp4 is pointless without Sp4.1 ontop of it as Sp4.1 is the bug fixes for Sp4.

Sp4.1
1/Fresh install of Falcon CD
2/Install Language patch if any
3/Install 108US
4/run Sp4 installer
5/run Sp4.1 installer
6/FLY and be free.

Sp4.1 with BMS both versions
1/install Sp4.1 as above
2/install BMS 1.03 OR BMS 2.0
3/Install Sp4.1 BMS data patch
4/Install Radar bug fix.
5/Fly and be free

Sp4.2 is a high res skins and further bug fixes patch.

Sp4.2
1/Fresh install of Falcon CD
2/Install language patch if any
3/Install 108US patch
4/run Sp4 installer
5/run Sp4.2 installer
6/FLY and be free.

Sp4.2 with BMS both versions
1/install Sp4.2 as above
2/install BMS 1.03 OR BMS 2.0
3/Install Sp4.2 BMS data patch
4/Install Radar bug fix.
5/Fly and be free.

Sp4.2 OCI
1/Fresh install of Falcon CD
2/install language patch if any
3/install Sp4.2 OCI
4/Fly and be free.

Sp4.2 OCI installer I dont know much about adding BMS I suggest you look at the sticky at Frugals.

Thats all there basically is to them.

Important things to note is that you can NOT install Sp4.2 over an Sp4.1 install a redance is required.
MAKE SURE you find the latest versions of the BMS data patches and MAKE sure that you Sp4.1 data patch goes with Sp4.1 NOT sp4.2
And ditto for the Sp4.2 one.

Any questions dont hesitate to ask.

cheers

So true.
To me there are good memorys with every main patch.

Good times for sure, but here we tend to say "good things will come again",
so I'm awaiting the next main patch with patience.


Cheers,
LS

Free Falcon 5.x (FF5) is stand alone. You do not need Allied Force to use FF5.

Well, heck. I don't have the original Microprose Falcon 4.0 anymore.

My bad, FF doesn't need the old disk. Downloaded overnight and installed this morning. Listening to the menu sent chills down my spine. Being a firefighter, I've heard that kind of desperation before. Sweet.

Hopefully the simulation is just as sweet and doesn't have the same graphics glitch that plagued me with AF.

Glitch located and squashed. However the glitch called Windows Vista Home Basic is going to take a little patience as it will be harder to squash.

One thing that still bugs me after I finally got back to flying falcon after 4-5 years without, is that now Im flying AF and I miss some of the "realism" from SP4.2 BMS. or maybe its just the feel of it Im missing?
I also miss the JDAMs more accurate GBUs, I'm still curios if I did carrier ops in SP4.2 or if that was the old FF3?
Anyway OF doesnt run on Win 7. so I cant use it,I tried FF5.3 and it isnt compatible with my touchscreen, and the cockpits it has orginally, well AF is better but then again there are addons for both.
FF 5.5 is it compatible with win 7?

Im also thinking about reinstalling my old SP4.2 just to see if I gloryfied the old days, but then again its questionable if it works on Win 7 or touchscreen at all.
