This will decompress the files into their appropriate locations. 3) That's it. When you run Air Warrior II , verify that the Front End (FE) version reports version 1.02b when you display the "About" box. You can do this by clicking on the sheep on the left side of the main airfield, or by using the right mouse button and choosing "About Air Warrior II...". If the version does not report 1.02b, the patch did not install properly. In the latter case verify that you installed it into the correct directory (top level directory, such as c:\kesmai\airwar2). Things Fixed in version 1.02b: 1) Fixed bug causing garbled CPIDs in certain situations. 2) Fixed bug that would cause in-flight disconnects. New Features in version 1.02a: 1) More visible planes. In Offline play up to 40 aircraft are now visible, Online visibility is host configurable up to 84 planes. On any given view there is still a 12 plane limit, but each view can have 12 different visible icons. Icon bias commands now work in offline play as well. 2) "What-if" missions where any country can have any type of plane is now supported in the mission editor. 3) The 'invite to squad' item on the right mouse button menu in the player list can now be used to create a new squadron. 4) New explosion animations. 5) Full Screen Text Buffer. The F12 key now toggles a full screen text buffer which is visible in the forward view. Things fixed in version 1.02a: 1) Bugs causing loss of avaitor names in saved campaigns have been fixed. 2) Bug which caused film playback crashes during gun firing has been corrected. 3) Problem with changing online bombload has been repaired. 4) Corrected problem with right-front view in Brisfit art. 5) Corrected stray line under WWI 800x600 dash. 6) Corrected problem with autopilot gauge in WWII 1024x768 dash. 7) Occasional COMMENG32 exception on exit bug fixed. 8) Added error tracking for briefing rooms to AIRWAR.LOG file. 9) Fatal Squadron/Group list bug corrected. 10) Many fixes and improvements to Online briefings. 11) The lock-up after denying a gunner has been corrected. 12) The fuel and bomb load for online and solo flight will now treat blank fields as zero. 13) Various memory leaks corrected. 14) Faster loading of mission info when moving to mission theatre rooms. 15) Sticky combination views now impemented. 16) CPIDs can no longer begin with a '*'. 17) Drone flight leaders now report course changes. 18) All drones in your group now report course changes during landing approaches. 19) The second hat switch on the CH CombatStick can now be mapped to functions different from the first hat. Use the KeyMap utility to change the bindings for the HAT2* inputs. 20) Points now awarded for field resupply. 21) WWI fields report 'Under attack' messages only when enemy planes are truly close. All arenas now have host configurable warning distances. 22) Improved flight characteristics for Me110, FW190d9, La5. 23) Drone gunners in offline play have parachutes. 24) Incidental Sound slider immediately effects volume. 25) Hack and corruption checking on artwork. No more 'Crystal' planes. 26) C47 gunner position now works correctly online. 27) Ammo counter in film is now accurate. 28) Fixed redundant fuel/ammo questions in ONLINE version solo flight. 29) Improved animation for gunner positions. 30) Fixed restoration of flight screen when AW is switched to the background. The screen now properly redraws in both rendering modes. 31) Implemented PageUp and PageDown key support in the following places: Kill Board dialog, Roster Dialog, and Reference page screens. Things fixed in version 1.01a: 1) Corrected plane shape loading at long range. 2) The gun volume now goes down when lethality drops. In addition, the cannon sound drops out once the cannon has run out of ammo. This uses the front end data, so it depends on the FE and host being synced. 3) Fixed Mosquito lethality. 4) Improved stall onset force feedback effect. 5) Reset force feedback during continuous battle restart to avoid stick getting stuck in crash feel. 6) Fixed Me262 plane shape (should fix the some crashes occuring when people flew jets) 7) Fixed the bombsight on the mosquito artwork. 8) A fix for the reports of not getting any bombs in solo flight. 9) You can now turn on and off individual engines in flight. Command: g By itself, it will tell the user which engines are on. If followed by a number (1, 2, 3, etc.) it will toggle the status of that engine (i.e. turn it on if it was off, and vice-versa.) 10) Help is now working in the plane selection dialog. Also, AWII no longer gets stuck on the task bar if you select help from that dialog. 11) If sound files are not available, the checkboxes will be disabled in the custom sound setup dialog. 12) The Me110 is now classified as a fighter. 13) WWI planes no longer lose their gear if started in flight. 14) There is now default cockpit art for jets (P-51) and WW1 planes (the Camel.) 15) The Air Warrior II Online installer now updates the airwar2.ini file during an install. This should cut down on the problems where people delete their directories manually and then install into another directory, leaving the INI file pointing to the wrong place. 16) Reduced gunner joystick sensitivity and turret rotation rates. 17) Increased gear lock and bomb release feel effects. 18) Fixed C Land HQ for 640x480 resolution. 19) Garage is not floating in the water anymore in Real-Time Europe 20) In Real-Time Pacific, one field was renamed to MacCall field since it was in there twice. 21) F9 will write the message "User indicated sound failure" to the Ksound logging file when pressed during any part of the game (the logging version of KSOUND.DLL must be used to actually have the message appear in a file). ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Air Warrior is a trademark of Kesmai Corporation.
