First post is updated with DL link and installation instructions.

[Moort]

WARNING for anyone doing regular multiplayer, this release will probably cause A LOT of issues if and when you try to fly with another poor soul who doesn’t have this mod installed, just a friendly FYI.

[Vip]

Looking forward to try this!

[molnibalage]

Any feedback is accepted as well as offer and suggestion for further upgrade.

[Dee-Jay]

Please Molni … keep the folder structure as it is for the other external theater:

i.e.

E:\Falcon BMS 4.32\Data*Add-On Korea 1980* (This is the only request from our side! since there are already a “Add-On Korea 2012”)

(no need to do it right now, but for the next update you will make … Thank you! :))

…

Of course, NOT recommended for MP session with other guy that do not have this mod.

Remember: If you are users of this mod, post issues only here … NOT ON REGULAR BMS BUG REPORT.

O, I can rename and denfine a new intstallation loaction. Only problem that I do not plan major update for the MOD soon. Further tweaks and campaigns files requiers a simple copy into current release.

I choosed this install location because I have not installed any other theater for BMS4, therefore I did not know where they are installed.

The \data directory have its own structure. It is very disturbing if theaters screw this nice structure becase they are put into alphabetical order. \data\Theater –-> You can find every Theater in alphabetical order. IMHO this is the nice structure.

Yep … good idea also … but choice has been made already:

Add-On + “theater name”

Please update when you can

as far as i know israel is using own structure and placing also extra planes in the default art/ckptart dir.
not very good. my 2 cents

[molnibalage]

Cockpits cannot be separated, they are shared for all theaters as well as dat files.

[molnibalage]

What about first experiences? Is it stable? Can you feel the difference is SAM / AAA behavior? Can you feel the effect of different IR and radar modeling values? Have you experienced the fun of lots of dogfigts? Is gun damage set well for all aircraft? (M61 Vulcan, A-10, 20 mm guns for F-5) Is the red side able to achive success agains airbases and ground vehicles?

[Dee-Jay]

@molnibalage:

• Launch the Korea80.exe, taraget have to be \data directory in your BMS4 install.* Make a backup about \data\sim directory.* Overwrite the \sim directory with donwloaded \sim directory.

  If you wish to play with default theaters you have to copy your bakcup. Korea '80s works only with different dat files in \sim directory because of database changes.

  Could be nice (and safe!) to have an automatic feature for that! … ask Zelegend, maybe he could add such feature in his installer!?!

Sorry Molny, but I did’nt had the time to fly at all.
Will Korea 80 also work with U2? … or do you think it will work best with U1 or no update at all?

Next on my list is to fraps a (few) vid to show some guys the (IMHO broken) AI bomb behavior in KTO.
BTW. do you know a good and easy to use vid editing software for cuting and the possibility to create subtitels, etc.?

Cheers,
LS

If gun damage was not changed by exe again, it will work with Update 2. I haven’t downladed U2.

If you wish to intagrate into video Vegas. If you think real subtitle, in independent text file, you can find many free stuff on net. I have used only one but I cannot remember its name. If will check at home.

[Squash_72nd]

The gun damage was changed in Update 2.

[molnibalage]

In this case I can release a updated version, gun damage have to be set again. I hope that not the 1st release state was set.

[sthalik]

Please do.

PS I started the theater and couldn’t find any Sparrows. Can F16’s carry them at all?
