Well im just getting errors SP42_OCI. I install Falcon, restart then apply the patch, it states the patch can take 5-25 minutes when it reaches 25%, yet when i apply the patch it takes about 40sec to install, then a error will state something about Korea. file is redundant Error 21F You need to run the patch again to complete the install .which i do but comes up with error again.

Uninstall reinstall falcon4 again apply patch get error again.

Error Message.
SP4.2 OCI has not been totally installed because of the following reason: terrdata\Objects\KoreaObj.TEX: This file contains invalid data. (error 21FC). You will have to run this utility again to completely install SP4.2

KoreaObj.TEX - I vaguel remember that some people have had issues with that sionce several of the last mod evolution phases, since years. I do not remember the details, but you may want to head over to Frugal's F4 forum and ask there. I think it even is dealt with in one of their stickied installation guides. For F4, Frugal's place is the place to go.

Is it a US-disc you are using? I had problems with this file during older mod incranations, because I used the German version. Had to repalce the file with a US, and that helped. Although noone knew why - the file content should be the same for all national versions of F4.

Ask at Frugals. chances are, that your issue could be solved, I think.

Yes i have the US version. I also found SP3 i must of DL ages ago. Is there much difference in SP3 to SP4.2, I'lll check out Frugals forums and see if i can find a solution to sp4 problem otherwise i'll tryed SP3.

I'm dying to try this out on my new dual core and x1900 XTX! I bet there will be no slowdowns near the FLOT!

You are not the first hoping for that - and you probably will not be the first being "dissapointed". Let'S face it: FLOT near Seoul on first day of campaign is a hellride for the CPU.

Sadly i went back to LOMAC, I couldn't get the SP4 for falcon to work?.
Still LOMAC is a good flightsim as well I DL some sound mods now when my Mig 29A breaks the sound barrier its brings out this terrific boom sound as it flys pass in external view :D

In F4AF with a single XP3200+ and 1 GB RAM + 9800 AIW I was complaining about drops to 20 FPS over the FLOT so I am not sure why I will be disappointed? The dual core CPU will fix that problem however since one CPU runs the ground war and one CPU the flight sim. I bet I won't have any slowdown at all.

I've put in 4.2 OCI on my new computer (3GHz, 2GB dual-channel RAM) - and while I must say it doesn't seem to run any better than it did on my old 2GHz, 1GB RAM machine, or even that 1.5GHz machine, it still runs very well. To be honest, I suspect that there is a certain ceiling for performance in this game.

Ah... I've never felt so at home with a game :smug:

LOMAC, I'm afraid, only beats it on graphics (though by a lot). Nothing will match this game until it offers a comparable dynamic campaign and comparable avionics. I honestly think LOMAC has made a huge mistake by having a non-clickable cockpit; I'll take the expanded 2D cockpit of F4SP any day.

We're in Year 8 of Falcon 4 by now, I believe, and it still delivers :rock:

If so, the better for you :up: I have red posts in the past, guys with killer systems that nevertheless were dissapointed over the FLOT concerning their frames. that they fell to the range of one-digit numbers despite there hardware investements was something that they took as a personal offending :lol:

I haven't had anything drastic. A few small stutters here and there, but I flew over Seoul on Day 1 using Korea 2005 (where you have even more planes), and it was definitely still playable. I even had a dogfight against some MiG-23's right over FLOT, and the performance didn't interfere.

I've never had any slowdowns like single digits with Falcon 4 Allied Force. I know T&L affects SP4.2 badly, so maybe that is the issue with SP4.2??? T&L doesn't really give you any noticeable better gfx either that I can see.

ANyway, this is all hearsay until I actually test. I'll start a brand new ugly fully loaded vehicle wise campaign (I'll move all the sliders to the right and play a balanced campaign) when I get this thing rolling, turn on the FPS counter and fly over the FLOT and take some screenshots. I'll post them by the weekend and then we can see if the dual core helps and works as advertised. Hopefully I don't get shot down while trying to take pictures! :)

Are there any other games out there that make use of dual CPU's other than Falcon 4 Allied Force? This is the only game I know of that will use dual CPU's that I am aware of, but if anyone has heard of anything else, let me know. I need to do some testing!
