The CD comes in a clamshell and includes a color label. Your CD ships using First Class mail in the US (usually takes 3-7 days for delivery) or using Airmail to non-US addresses (usually takes 1-2 weeks for delivery). To keep costs reasonable, tracking information is not available.

Once the CD arrives at your doorstep, insert it into your CD drive and open it using Windows Explorer (no autorun setup due to technical and security reasons). Then launch the HiTilesAF.exe found on the CD. This will install the HiTilesAF on your machine (NOT yet in Falcon 4) and needs to be done only once (will take 10-40 minutes depending on your machine...)

Next, you will need another installer to put the HiTilesAF into your Falcon 4.0: Allied Force (F4AF) setup and witch between the various seasons later on. This installer can also be found on the CD (or is downloadable from here):

• HiTilesAF_AlliedForce.exe (4 MB) for Falcon 4.0: Allied Force (Current release: 2005-10-18)

Run it, too: This will allow you to choose a season and install the HiTilesAF into the Balkans and/or Korea theatre of your F4AF setup. To switch to another season, just re-run this installer later on. You can mix theatres and seasons to your liking (And yes, if you plan to use all seasons in both theatres, make sure to have at least 2GB of available hard disk space...).

IMPORTANT: Any time you update your Falcon 4.0: Allied Force with a new patch (by using the Falcon 4.0 Allied Force Update Check), first use this installer to restore the default scenery! This is absolutely necessary before applying any F4AF patches from Lead Pursuit. Restoring the terrain to the default look only takes a few seconds. You can then re-apply a season after the Falcon patch from LP was succesfully installed. There is also a FAQ entry about the procedure (including a screenshot).

BTW: There is no need to do a complete Falcon re-install (a.k.a. "the Dance") - Just run the installer and it will use your current Falcon installation! (Please do also check the FAQ for additional installation info)
