- ***************************************************************************
-
- This version of TORNADO incorporates many fixes to previously reported
- problems and several enhancements to existing features.
-
- To use this patch, copy all of the files on this disk into your TORNADO
- directory. For example, type "COPY B:*.* C:\TORNADO" if your TORNADO
- program is on drive C in a directory named "TORNADO." Then type "PATCH"
- from your TORNADO directory. The update program will then replace or
- modify the necessary files to update your copy of TORNADO to version 1.0C.
-
- You can identify version 1.0C by looking for the version number in the
- lower right-hand corner of the TORNADO loading screen. In addition, the
- file creation date for AMP.EXE will be changed to 10-21-93.
-
- PROGRAM FIXES
- -------------
- Problems with sounds either dropping out or playing through the Ad Lib
- driver have been corrected.
-
- An improved joystick calibration routine has been added.
-
- TORNADO is now compatible with the US Robotics 14.4 modem for
- head-to-head play.
-
- Flightplans modified in Campaign can now be saved.
-
- In earlier versions of TORNADO, your plane had to come to a complete stop
- on a runway before you could end a mission successfully. A ground speed
- of less than 30 knots is now sufficient.
-
- In earlier versions of TORNADO, enemy fighters were able to perform
- exceptional barrel roll maneuvers in order to stay behind your Tornado.
- This has been corrected; enemy plane maneuvers are now more realistic.
-
- The lack of a promotion at the end of Campaign Level 1 has been corrected.
-
- Air victories being credited improperly in the pilot log has been
- corrected.
-
- PROGRAM ENHANCEMENTS
- --------------------
- The "Review" feature now has full mouse control through both Demo and
- Options.
-
- Rudder pedals are supported.
-
- The Explore Mode is now fixed to daytime.
-
- A digital readout had been added to the fuel gauge.
-
- A Dogfight Mode has been added. If you press the fire button, the
- air-to-air radar and weapons will be activated if weapons were not armed.
-
- When you turn on the air-to-air radar, it will range automatically with
- respect to the currently selected weapon.
-
- The drone view now shows aircraft designations.
-
- SAMs are no longer always fatal, but more damage will be received.
-
- A proximity alarm sounds when SAMs are very close.
-
- The ZRK-Romb SAM launcher has been changed to a ZREK-BD Strela 10.
-
- MEMORY MANAGERS
- ---------------
- QEMM (versions 7.0 and later) features DOS-UP which links upper and base
- memory. This may cause insufficient memory error messages with TORNADO.
- We suggest that you turn off the DOS-UP feature by inserting "REM" in front
- of that line in your CONFIG.SYS file. You will lose approximately 3K of
- RAM, but TORNADO will now run.
-
- 386MAX (versions 7.0 and later) has a similar feature called EXTRADOS.
- This may also cause insufficient memory error messages with TORNADO. We
- suggest that you turn off the EXTRADOS feature by inserting "REM" in front
- of the line that relocates your COMMAND.COM file. This will allow TORNADO
- to run.
-
- GENERAL INFORMATION
