Ah, I misunderstood your original post. So, it was only an engine sound problem. I thought the game mission was not loading properly. My mistake,

 

So, it turns out that I forgot to include the new F-4 engine sounds in the update package. (sigh) They are attached to this post:

Simply unpack the RAR file and drop the WAV files in the \Sounds dir of your Mods folder.

 

I will upload a corrected version of the update package in a day or so.

No problem mate!

I was thinking i did some mistake during the update process and was scratching my head over where i went wrong hehe.

Thank you sir for fixing it in such a short notice!

OK, as I said, I just tried the sole USMC F-4B squadron in that campaign, and it worked just fine.

 

If a game mission starts like you describe, that usually indicates a serious problem with the aircraft -- either it's missing a cockpit or the game can't find the LOD files for the aircraft, etc.

 

So, I would check out that aircraft in a single mission. Does the F-4B exist on the aircraft selection menu? Can you fly it with a USMC squadron/texture set?

 

Also, ThirdWire never released a March 2013 patch. There was a March 2012 patch, a May 2013 patch, and a July 2013 patch, which is the latest.

Well, plz forgive me for mixing stuff up but i'm very new at this game and yes it's the July 2013 patch that i have installed.

I tried some single missions with all the different F-4 variants B,C,D etc and none of them has sound for the engines.

Seems like its the only plane that misses it though after testing lots.

Was going trough the F-B_Data.ini and found this:

The first problem is the fact that you chose to fly a USMC F-4C. No such thing exists. There are USMC F-4Bs and USAF F-4Cs, but no USMC F-4Cs.

 

I just checked the sole USMC F-4B that's flyable in the RT-A campaign -- it worked just fine. I also checked the two USAF F-4C squadrons available in the campaign -- both worked just fine.

 

So, I would recommend double-checking the service, aircraft, and squadron you selected.

 

Also, in addition to knowing the above (service, aircraft, squadron), it would be helpful to know what patch level you're on.

Hi Eric and thank you for the fast answer!

Yes you are totally right it was a typo of mine. USMC F-4B is the one i flew.

I'm on the latest patch of March 2013

Hi eburger68!

First i want to say thank you for this fantastic package! Absolutely the most immersive Vietnam campaign I've ever played. 

I installed everything today and it seems to run just fine.

First i played around with different planes and it ran just beautifull.

Then I decided to start a campaign in 1965 - Operation Linebacker (A). I chose the USMC and picked the F-4C.

But when the game loaded up I couldnt hear no sound from the engines. All other sounds worked fine though, Speach, cannons, AAA and so on.

I tried to start other campaigns with different planes and all I tried worked just fine.

Any ideas what went wrong?
