Abstract: This paper considers flag-transitive $4$-$(q+1,k,lambda)$ designs with $lambdageq5$ and $q+1>k>4$. Let the automorphism group of a design $calD$ be a simple group $G=PSL(2,q)$. Depend on the fact that the setwise stabilizer $G_B$ must be one of twelve kinds of subgroups, up to isomorphism we get the following two results. (i) If $10geqlambdageq5$, then except $(G,G_x,G_B,k,lambda)=(PSL(2,761),E_{761}times{C}_{380},S_4,24,7)$ or $(PSL(2,512),E_{512}times{C}_{511},D_{18},18,8)$ undecided, $calD$ is a $4$-$(24,8,5)$, $4$-$(9,8,5)$, $4$-$(8,6,6)$, $4$-$(10,9,6)$, $4$-$(9,6,10)$, $4$-$(9,7,10)$, $4$-$(12,11,8)$ or $4$-$(14,13,10)$ design with $G_B=D_8$, $E_{8}times{C}_7$, $D_6$, $E_{9}times{C}_4$, $PSL(2,2)$, $D_{14}$, $E_{11}times{C}_5$ or $E_{13}times{C}_6$ respectively. (ii) If $lambda>10$, $G_B=A_4$, $S_4$, $A_5$, $PGL(2,q_0)$($g>1$ even) or $PSL(2,q_0)$, where ${q_0}^g=q$, then there is no such design.
