Cannot apply "Fly F-16's Only" modification after applying U1-4 to 4.33 installation
-
I just applied all updates U1-4 to my F4 installation without any apparent problems in the installation process. However, when I go into Config at the Launcher screen and attempt to activate the “Fly F-16’s Only” modification, I get the following message when i try to apply changes:
Failed to apply patch Fly F-16’s Only – File mismatch. E:\Program Files\Falcon BMS 4.34\data\campaign\validac.act does not match E:\Program Files\Falcon BMS 4.34\F4Patch\persist\campaign\validac.act or C:\Users\Jason\AppData\Local\Temp\f4pD85F.tmp\newfile\campaign\validac.act.
Do I just need to do some manual file swap or is it more complicated? I appreciate the help

It sounds like you’ve applied 4.34 on top of 4.33. This is not correct. 4.34 is a fresh install.

I haven’t even downloaded 4.33, much less installed it. It was definitely 4.34. Is there any kind of workaround?
Thanks

Yes
Fly f16 only. -
Yeah ummm thanks but I use that option so that I don’t need to check that I’m in the F-16. It’s pretty useful.

Delete E:\Program Files\Falcon BMS 4.34\F4Patch\persist\campaign\validac.act
… and try again.
Cheers, :yo:

Awesome you found a proper fix! But gotta say, asking for a workaround (until a fix was presented), flying F-16’s only through the game would be the only valid workaround until the actual “Fly F-16’s Only” option was available via a proper fix. Mav-jp was spot on there.

Can we please fix that apostrophe in 4.34.x? It should say “F-16s” and has driven my grammar OCD mad for over a decade.

That is not an inappropriate use of an apostrophe in this situation. There is actually no rule, and there are a few schools of thought on the topic and with the use of certain punctuation in certain cases. IMHO This is a perfect example of one that is irrespective of cultural differences (UK v. USA, for example) because the communication of a pluralism is best accomplished WITH the use of an apostrophe due to the fact that it follows a number and that the proper noun is a form of acronym. “F-16s” could seem like a particular type of F-16, rather than a pluralized form of it.
I’m not at all saying you are wrong, bro – but I am saying that it is not incorrect, and would be correct with or without an apostrophe. Plenty of areas like this have less clearly defined rules, open to standardization by a group, locale, etc. but not universal in our language.
gonna come down to what you prefer, but what looks best to you?
