Nordic Installation Issue
-
I hope this is the right area to post this. I downloaded the .zip last night, ran the installers (modern day first, as per the instruction thread) and everything seemed to run OK. Looked in the root folder and there is no Add-On folder for this theatre. I then tried rerunning the installer for the modern day scenario, and get the error shown in the screenshot. I’ve also included the root folder to show there is indeed no Add-On folder in there. Naturally, I cannot uninstall either. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Hello there.
Well for some reason you didn’t execute well the installation procedure. I don’t know where exactly you “point” the installer, but I can help you make a correct installation.
So this time let’s make it manually.- First from “Nordic Installers.rar” file extract the “Nordic” folder somewhere. Then from the 2 included files, rename the file “Source.dat” to this new “Source.rar” if you have the util Winrar. If you have the util 7zip, then rename the previous file (Source.dat) to this new “Source.7z”.
- Now extract the files from the renamed rar (or 7z) file.
- Next step is to move the folder “Add-On Nordic” with all the included subfolders/files into here: …\Falcon BMS 4.33 U1\Data. So finally it will be exactly like this: …\Falcon BMS 4.33 U1\Data\Add-On Nordic.
- Last go to this file: …\Falcon BMS 4.33 U1\Data\Terrdata\theaterdefinition\theater.lst, open it with “Notepad” and add the below line:
Add-On Nordic\Terrdata\theaterdefinition\Nordic.tdf
Save the file from “Notepad” and close it. That’s it, now you can see the Nordic theater and select it ;).
P.S. With similar actions you can install the second file, Nordic-CWC.Nikos.

That seemed to work a treat for the modern campaign, cheers!

Used your method, and the modern campaign works like a charm, but having a problem to install the Nordic-CWC campaign. I just have two files in this folder, Art and Campaign. Nordic-CWC does not show in the Theater Selector.
Can you please help.
Thanks

Hi there my friend.
Well if you make the extraction as first step, you got the “Source.dat” file, except of the “Nordic_CWC 1.exe”.
Rename this “Source.dat” file to either “Source.rar” or “Source.7z” according to your zip program (Winrar or 7zip).
Then extract the included files, they will be 2 subfolders into the “Add-On Nordic” folder.
Move these 2 folders (means the “art-CWC” and “Campaign-CWC”) into this folder: …\Falcon BMS 4.33 U1\Data\Add-On Nordic. So finally it will be exactly these:
…\Falcon BMS 4.33 U1\Data\Add-On Nordic\art-CWC
…\Falcon BMS 4.33 U1\Data\Add-On Nordic\Campaign-CWCNow go here to this file: …\Falcon BMS 4.33 U1\Data\Terrdata\theaterdefinition\theater.lst, open it with “Notepad” and add the below line:
Add-On Nordic\Terrdata\theaterdefinition\Nordiccwc.tdf
Save the file from “Notepad” and close it. Now you can see also the 2nd Nordic theater and select it.
Hope to help.

Great, working fine. Thanks for your help.
Can’t wait to fly the Lightning, I still remember them coming over for gunnery practice in the 70s.

I just installed Nordic myself. I can physically see the folders for it in my Falcon BMS directory, but it won’t show up in my theaters list.

Put these entry’s in your theaters list : Add-On Nordic\Terrdata\theaterdefinition\Nordic.tdf
Add-On Nordic\Terrdata\theaterdefinition\NordicCWC.tdfdfang

Where can I get the files needed to put in to those directories? I’m guessing it didn’t come with the install I got.

docs\theater.txt. has these correct txt lines for theater.lst. if installer doesnt work and you must unzip source file, check this dir.

Hello there.
Well just go to this path/folder: …\Falcon BMS 4.33 U1\Data\Terrdata\theaterdefinition.
Means via your Windows Explorer go to the folder “theaterdefinition” that is into the folders: …\Falcon BMS 4.33 U1\Data\Terrdata.
Now into folder “theaterdefinition”, there is a file “theater.lst”. Open that file with “Notepad” of windows and add the below lines:Add-On Nordic\Terrdata\theaterdefinition\Nordic.tdf
Add-On Nordic\Terrdata\theaterdefinition\Nordiccwc.tdfSave the file from “Notepad” and close it. Done.

I just looked at that, and I don’t even have the “Theaterdefinition” directory. It’s missing an entire directory…

Nikos.Those lines were already added, still not showing up in theaters list.

If you don’t have this folder: …\Falcon BMS 4.33 U1\Data\Terrdata\theaterdefinition, then you have a non proper BMS 4.33 installation.
