- INSTRUCTIONS for v1.03 patch to Flight Commander 2
-
-
- 1. extract the file you have downloaded.
-
- 2. Three files will appear. This text file you are currently reading
- (README.TXT) is one of them (so you must have figured out how
- to do the first two steps already!). The other files are PATCH.EXE
- and PATCH.RTP.
-
- 3. Copy PATCH.EXE and PATCH.RTP over to the directory in which the
- Flight Commander 2 application resides (it ought to be C:\FLTCOM
- unless you changed the default during installation).
-
- 4. Switch to the FLTCOM directory (or wherever the Flight
- Commander 2 application is).
-
- 5. Type "PATCH". This will update your copy of Flight Commander 2,
- and will work with all previous versions of Flight Commander 2.

- ====
-
- * Altitude (when shown) is now shown in the lower right corner

- altitude simultaneously.

- throttle below 100% power.
-
- * BUG FIX: Fixed a cross-platform play-by-email incompatibility
- that sometimes occurred when sending email from PC to Macintosh.
-
- * BUG FIX: No more program crashes when aircraft run out of fuel.
-
- * BUG FIX: Program no longer crashes if you quit campaign from
- pilot selection screen.

- used.

-
- * Program release on CD-ROM.
-
- * Computer pilots (and wingmen) handle RHM guidance better than
- before.
-
- * Play-by-email (PBEM) files now "remember" where the screen was
- centered, so the player who jumps right to the Action Phase will
- get a better opportunity to see the action.
-
- * BUG FIX: On-disk battle scenarios can now be played by email (PBEM)
- correctly.
-
- * BUG FIX: Air-to-air missiles were flying for one turn more than
- their fuel should have allowed. This has been corrected.
-
- * BUG FIX: A Harrier jet can no longer glide indefinitely when its
- engine has been knocked out.
-
- * BUG FIX: The "accelerator keys" (Alt-9 and Alt-0) for the "Computer
- Control" and "Send Home" items in the "Pilot" menu were reversed
- compared to what was shown on the screen. This has been corrected.

- ====
-
- * Game in progress is now saved at end of each turn to a file
- titled AUTOSAVE.BTL (if you're playing a battle) or AUTOSAVE.CAM
- (if it's a campaign). This autosave file will be placed in the
- same directory as the Flight Commander 2 application (FC.EXE).
-
- * The dialog windows that will appear during your play-by-email
- (PBEM) game are different (and simpler) than the ones described
- in the manual, although the general sequence of events is the
- same. Saving and restoring games in the middle of PBEM games also
- requires a brief explanation. Saved game files and email files
- are different. For this reason, to restart a PBEM game, use the
- "Load Play-By-EMail Game File..." menu item from the File menu.
-
- * BUG FIX: Play-by-email games no longer crash when game is resumed
- from saved files.
-

- aircraft to be drawn with the wrong headings has been corrected.

- * BUG FIX: Floating windows disappear properly when main window is
- minimized.
