Hallo all,
this is my first posting, so let me say „Hallo“ at first.
A short first impression from my side:
For installation this week I have used the installation guide and the first postings from this thread. I must say, I’m a real rookie in handling of torrent-files. So the beginning of the installation was confusing for me because of the torrent-downloads, preparation in download-folder (I have seen, you can change it) and unzipping and … . And, to be honest, I can’t remember exactly in which sequence I have done the separate steps. After that I have had the normal setup.exe on my system and -surprise!- it was easy suddenly. The setup.exe has installed the base and the U1-3 without any downloads /handling from my side.
IMHO maybe it is possible to list the first actual steps in the installation guide, before the installation starts.
The second surprise was Falcon 4.0. I have the old original Falcon 4.0 with the 2kg manual-book (such a thing you can’t imagine today …). And because of YouTube-videos and Google I did believe that the copy of my installation is enough for BMS-installation. But no! BMS has required the installation. Okay, no problem, I have done it and all was okay.
My first impressions: fantastic!!
And for a test I have installed the balkan-theatre yesterday; no problem, it works.
I have had Allied Force after Falcon 4.0. A good version for that time more than 15 years before, but too old simply and so I haven’t used Falcon 4.0 for some years. Result: I will have a lot of questions the next time. But of course I will read the manual(s) and try to find the answers there. I’m an offline campaign-player, I can integrate it better in my day. And at the first step I will stay on ground to learn all the buttons and functions (I’m sure, it will take more than one evening).
Wish you a nice weekend!
