YEAHHH ! it works. THANKS A LOT. It also worked with the later patch :)

Still does not work .... Patched to to v051506 then patched up to v083006 Extracted Burning Sand 1983 and SP4 update Applied Weapon Pack Still CTD btw : the seperate mod BS upgrades I and II do work fine. What a pity that there is no F14 for the campaign available. this is the reason i would prefer the BS 1983 version. I have the following patches left, but i think that they are older : sfp1_p31.exe sfp1_p32.exe SFP1_sp1.exe SFP1_sp2a.exe SFP1_sp3a.exe this CANT be all so complicated, i am used to apply mods a.s.o. for example in rfactor. EDIT : the original BS 1983 readme says the following : "Extract the contents to a clean install of Strike Fighters SP3.2. " The BS 1983 SP4 readme says "Just extract into main folder of SFP1 SP4" I thought 051506 IS Service Pack 4 ??? But i did not worked with this Version nor with the newer 083006 version..... hrrrrr getting tired :(

OOpppssss.....got the patches from here : http://www.thirdwire.com/downloads_sfp1.htm But i thought that the lower one is the latest... LOL. *slapping myself* ok i will try later on. Thanks a lot

okay......again no success :-( I installed SFP1. I applied the patch to v05.15.06 (all other patches are not installable to my version) I made a copy of the "Strike Fighters" folder and renamed the new one to "Strike Fighters BS 1983" Then i extracted the file (got it from here) "[2232]Burning_Sands_1983.rar" and the file (also from here) "burning sands 1983 sp4 update.rar" both into the "Strike Fighters BS 1983" root folder....select Overwrite all. ok. Then i applied the (hopefully) latest Weapons Pack ("WeaponsPack_03Jul06.exe") and pointed the installer to the same folder. Then i created a shortcut with the "Flightsim.exe" from this new folder on the desktop. But : No Game - immediate CTD. Original Game is still runnin fine :( Is this so hard or am i this stupid ? The Readme does just say nothing else besides the above procedure.

Hey Thanks a lot. I will try this later :) Didnt know that these are two different mods :)

Hi together, just got my fresh SFP1 Box from Ebay and was looking forward to play that Burning Sand 1983 thing, cause reading the article @simhq was making me hot of this mod / sim. Its a "all new version" with the F104 implemented, published by JUST FLIGHT. So I installed SFP1, fetched the latest 75 MB patch that i found there : ThirdWirePatch The other one there (6 MB) was not appliable. I also found a couple of other patches (SP1 to SP4 and some 1.31 and 1.32 version patches) but all of these were not installable after the big 75 MB patch. Anyway : It was running fine with this patch @ version 05.15.06 in the Main Menu screen. Then i downloaded all the four BS 1983 files here at combatsim : - Burning Sands 1983 - Burning Sands Upgrade - Burning Sands 1983 sp4 update - Burning Sands Upgrade II I extracted them in the above order all in the SFP1 directory and also i applied the latest weapon pack. But : I cannot run the sim anymore, it crashed immediately to desktop without doing anything. Is there anything i've done wrong or I missed ? Hope someone can answer my questions. Thanks a lot cu Chris
