Create a clean install of SF.
Install the 74Mb patch at thirdwire.
install Latest weapons upgrade here at CombatAce
*note* The patch must be applied before you install weapons pack or the patch WILL DELETE the weapons update.
Download "Burning Sands 1983" and Extract into temporary folder.
Open your SF folder and manually install BS1983 Campaings, FLight, Pilotdata, Terrain, Sounds, Effects.
NOW when you get to the "Objects" folder DO NOT install any DLL. files. For example AIRCRAFTOBJECT.DLL
Install ONLY the Aircraft in the aircraft folder .INI files and the CVN files.
All of the CVN files that are scattered in the objects folder should be put in the CVN-75 folder in your
ground objects folder. If you dont have the CVA-63 or CVN-75 they can be found in the BS1983_sp4 seperate download.
If you get confused in any way or just suddenly become lazy, Install ALL files manually including .DLL files,and then only reapply the 74mb patch and latest weapons pack and the sound files
from the BS1983. Because the patch will delete the weapons pack and overwrite the sound files.
Btw- YOU ONLY NEED THE 74MB SERVICE PACK FOR THIS TO WORK.
