SU-27 FLANKER V1.2a READ ME FILE 21/03/97 (c) 1996 Strategic Simulations, Inc. A Mindscape Company. Product: 'Su-27 Flanker' V1.2a patch Revision: Final Release Files enclosed: FSIM.LBB 18-03-97 15:56 459,776 bytes This txt file This patch is designed to upgrade the V1.2 release of Su-27 Flanker to V1.2a for ***Windows 95 only***. ***PLEASE ENSURE YOU HAVE PREVIOULY INSTALLED THE V1.2 PATCH PRIOR TO APPLYING THIS NEW FLIGHT MODULE FILE.*** To install V1.2a: 1) Copy the enclosed FSIM.LBB file to your 'Su27 Flanker' directory. By default this would be 'C:\PROGRAM FILES\SU-27 FLANKER'. 2) Windows will ask you if you wish to overwrite the current 'FSIM.LBB' file, if you wish to keep your old V1.2 flight module please cancel this operation and copy this file to another directory. Improvements and Features 1) No graphical 'stutter' or 'wobbling' effects when used on Pentium PC's. 2) The 'beyond visual range' (BVR) artificial intelligence has been greatly improved and 'local' dogfighting AI is also improved. 3) The ability to play via Internet games servers such as Kali(c) and Kahn(c) has been improved. 4) The problem with false bomb trajectories using 'dumb' iron bombs has been tweaked and improved. 5) The previous incompatibility with TRK's recorded from V1.0 and V1.1 has been fixed. PLEASE NOTE: ANY TRK (vIDEO) FILES CREATED WITH THE V1.2 PATCH WILL NOT PLAYBACK CORRECTLY ON THIS UPDATE. THIS IS DUE TO A MINOR CHANGE IN THE WAY ANTI-RADIATION MISSILES ARE HANDLED BY THE FLIGHT MODULE. THIS DOES NOT CHANGE THE WAY ANTI-RAD MISSILES ARE MODELLED IN THE SIM.
