“Hotfix for land based f4 phantom operations “
“Latest version 52321”https://www.mediafire.com/file/g0pmwnsnft6um99/Vietnam_HOT_fix_52321.zip/file
Update:
our team is excited to announce Vietnam Version 4.35.1.2. Version 1.2 is a whole new installer and not compatible with any previous version. Big thanks to CCC, Smartaxe and Jackal for their work on Vietnam. All carrier aircraft now operate as well as the F/A-18. New vintage aircraft added so that US Aircraft composition in campaigns now match actual timeframes as depicted in campaigns. New TEs by Jackal to enhance your experience and give you a chance to feel historical missions in the same manner USAF and ARVN pilots did in the real world historical conflict.
Gentlemen, Smartaxe, and I are proud to unveil Vietnam for BMS 4.35. Vietnam has been completely rebuilt for 4.35. It is not just a conversion from the 4.33 version but a completely new build with campaigns built upon a new DB, similar to the one used in Kurile Conflict. The terrain and cam files have been fixed so that a ground war with moving units in now possible. The ground war will now be fluid and smooth just like Somalia. Furthermore, while their is a certain amount of attrition of enemy units required for players to win the campaign, the new goals of the ground units will be to capture and hold terrain.
I want to give a big thanks to Buster and Starrats who did a huge amount of work on the BMS 4.33 version of Vietnam. They were the creators of much of the ‘original’ Vietnam theatre’s content. A big thanks goes to Demer928 who built the original terrain and who did much of its tile work. Furthermore, I give a big thanks to Manos for allowing me permission to use his F-4 Phantom skins. Finally a big thanks to Smartaxe who took my diamond and polished it to the finniest luster it deserves.Please enjoy the hundreds of hours that all of the above mentioned developers have put into Vietnam and post screenshots of your awesome work.

Download archive and install using self installer.
Notes: The DB is very much a WIP Project. This is the reason for the lack of F-100 and F-105 jets. Due to this issue, the A-4, F-4 and F-111 are a bit overrepresented for the USAF. US Navy F-4 jets wear camouflaged livery at this moment. USAF A-7 Corsairs wear USN livery. There are no Prop CAS aircraft in DB. Finally, the DB doesn’t contain the the original Vietnam Era Napalm Bombs. Use the MK-77 on loadouts as a substitute.

Just in time for our July ‘Summer of 69’ campaign!
-
Well done and thanks a lot to you both, dearest Gavin and axe!
About its DB, there will be time, I guess.
With best compliments and regards.

Wonderful Theater !! I can wait to fly into it in the weekend
I have see there isn’t any skin of white NAVY F4 phantom ? Sad but maybe in an udapte ?
Good Job !!
-
It is really great!!! Thank you!
Maybe I am doing something wrong, but I get an explossion everytime I try to land a Phantom into the boat. Could you check it?
-
The f4 phantoms don’t have carrier capabilities (for player) yet in this db.
It explodes because it has no afm.
Zeroing out the wheel radius in fm so wheels no longer spin will fix the explosions, or adding an afm will fix it.
But real AFM is what is needed for launch bar takeoff and good landing.A6e, A4s,F35c, f14s, and F18s are the jets that are fully carrier capable atm.
DB is under construction still.
Every time I try to add afm to f4, I get wheels sinking into deck to point of exploding when launch bar is activated.
Maybe in next db, we put stationary wheels and non launch bar launch capabilities to f4 (if afm is not available by then) -
some views or video…???
-
Okay here is a workaround for f4 until next db.
I guess I can make a zip for acdat too.
It’s not preferable method, but it works.If you unzip and add these to add-on Vietnam/sim/acdat and overwrite, the f4s will function like in video.

Impressive.
Thanks a lot.

any way you could do this to the A-4 Skyhawk the A-6 intruder?
-
The Skyhawks and A6E currently operate with the (invisible) launch bar.
And they can launch and land just like f18 procedure.But yeh, you could set Skyhawks and intruders like this.
Delete afm, zero out the wheel radius three lines, and add the catapult lines above “hook” in fm.But in theater , we opted to keep the launch bar versions.
-
At least in the Phantom the hook is working in a funny way. If after “colliding” with the deck you add power, the hook never works. Just set idle and you will be stopped. I discovered it after quite a lot of bolters adding power on the deck…

Thanks a lot to dearest Chuckles for his kind words of appreciation for that few I was able to made this theater so great.
Thanks a lot as well to our team and the awesome results - The Gang RULE.To all of you, Gentlemen: I tried to make the pilots flying those four historical replica missions the feelings of the military escalation during the whole Vietnam War ages, since the first one (“Operation Barrel Roll, 1964”), which was a cover operation.
Please all note that, for realism sake, fuel management skills are required in all of them, and at this condition they are flyable.I (together with our team) sincerely hope that you all will have fun not only with them, but with the whole theater, more than simply fit to all purposes, tactical training too, and really challenging for its landscape variety.
My apologies in advance for those errors I in case made, but in good faith.What more?
Ah, yes. Enjoy!
With best regards to all.

Jackal’s “Linebacker 1972” te = wall of SAMs…
I missed these guys and didn’t live to regret it.
This one is pretty hard for sure. No terrain in this area to hide from SAMs -
“He” and his sharp little eyes are back!
Welcome to the party, dearest Ed.
Hope you haven’t made too many folks there happy too much.They missed you too, you know.
Gianni.

Just installed the .2 version and I must be doing something stupid in the F4. Land based Taxi is fine, TO roll is fine, but when I rotate at ~200kts and gear up the plane gets damaged, loses power and shuts down…? Maybe dragging the drop tanks on TO?
EDIT: Just had a thought so popped back into same campaign mission but removed the 2 370 gal drop tanks and took off without issue so maybe they were hitting when I rotated on TO? After a bit I figured I would watch the rotation from a side external view with the tanks on and it took off just fine, seems like it fixed itself somehow and I feel like the kid who cried wolf…
-
Well, you brought some attention to some ground based f4 issues… I think it’s squared away a bit more now anyway.
Hot fix is going to be on first post… I just gave it to Chuckles.
