EUR1PTCH.TXT contains information and instructions on the installation of EUR1_1.BGL, EUR1_1.BGL, EUR1.PAL, and EUR1.HAZ. Copyright (c) 1995 BAO, Ltd. ***************************************************************************** NOTE: Installation of this update is not necessary if your README.EU1 from EUROPE I scenery says it is Version 1.02. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Below each file this update installs is explained. RE: EUR1_1.BGL This file is a patch for the EUROPE I Scenery. When properly installed, this file effectively eliminates the pausing of .5 to 3 seconds that has been reported. This file replaces the EUR1_1.BGL that was shipped with the product. RE: EUR1_3.BGL This file is an update for the EUROPE I Scenery. When properly installed this file makes three VOR frequencies consistent with the maps included with the software package. The frequencies listed in the NAVLIST1.TXT file will also continue to work for these three VORs. The following VORs have been updated: VOR NEW OLD === === === Allersberg - ALB 111.20 115.45 Nienburg - NIE 116.50 117.00 Wurzburg - WUR 110.20 116.35 RE: EUR1.HAZ and EUR1.PAL These files make the haze feature of Flight Simulator 5.1 work with EUROPE I. They have no effect in releases of Flight Simulator prior to 5.1. Please be aware that since EUROPE I was developed prior to Flight Simulator 5.1 there are the following known limitations: 1. Some mountains appear too white in low visibility conditions, even as you get close. 2. Some water will appear gray or white in low visibility. The contrast is particularly notable when you are on the border of the EUROPE I scenery and the default world of Flight Sim. 3. Some airports don't come out of the haze properly. 4. You will notice that the colors are not as intense as without the haze palette. We believe that these colors are more realistic. 5. This patch is only effective if you have installed EUROPE I to your hard disk. If you are running from the CD-ROM (version 5.1 only) a patch cannot be made. ***************************************************************************** INSTALLATION OF EUR1_50.EXE FOR FLIGHT SIMULATOR VERSION 5.0 and 5.0a USERS ONLY The following installation steps should be performed by users of Microsoft Flight Simulator with Versions 5.0 or 5.0a.
