ALONE FILES.  THAT IS THESE MODIFIED DATA FILES DO NOT REQUIRE 
YOU TO DO ANY HEX EDITING, NOR DO THEY MAKE ANY PERMANENT CHANGES 
TO YOUR EXISTING GAME FILES.  AND IF FOR ANY REASON YOU DON NOT 
LIKE THE MODIFICATIONS SIMPLY DELETE THE FILES CONTAINED IN THIS 
ZIP FROM YOUR AOTP GAME DIRECTORY.



-ACKNOWLEDGMENTS:

BELOW IS A LISTING OF ALL THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE, IN ONE WAY OR
ANOTHER, CONTRIBUTED TO THE HEX EDITING ABILITY OF AOTP.  WITH 
THIS KIND OF TEAM WORK IT WONT BE LONG BEFORE WE HAVE ALL THE 
UNKNOWNS FIGURED OUT!

I WANT TO THANK....

1)      James "Jaybird" Johnson:
        for his inspirational and pioneering on Red Baron.  And 
        for all his personal help in getting me started in 
        editing Dynamix data.

2)      Keith Heitmann:
        for his inspirational and pioneering on Red Baron.

3)      Bill "Samuri" Ciciora:
        for his inspirational and pioneering on Red Baron.

4)      Joe "The Maverick" Scoleri:
        for his inspirational and pioneering on Red Baron.  And 
        for his extensive document on how to edit Red Baron, it 
        proved to be very helpful in the development of the 
        document.  I only hope that with everyone contributing 
        to this document that we can achieve a document as 
        detailed and informative as Joe's.

5)      Kevin M. Fritz: 
        for his FMD Map corrections.

6)      Tim Kilgore:
        for his wonderful AOTP editing utility programs!

7)      Nicholas Bell:
        for his extensive work on the DMG and FMD data files.  
        Nick is responsible for all the new information on the 
        engine power ratings and drag factors in the FMD data 
        that has proven to be very useful!

8)      Uwe Serf:
        For his extensive work on the TBL data files.  Due to 
        his efforts we can color the planes to just about any 
        color we desire.



-PROBLEMS:

IF YOU ARE EXPERIENCING ANY TYPE OF PROBLEMS I URGE YOU TO ONE
THING BEFORE CONTACTING DYNAMIX.  FIRST REMOVE ALL MODIFIED 
DATA FILES!  NOW IF YOU ARE STILL EXPERIENCING THE SAME 
PROBLEM,  THEN WHEN YOU CONTACT DYNAMIX TO REPORT YOUR PROBLEM 
YOU CAN REST ASSURED THAT THE PROBLEM IS WITH THE PROGRAM
ITSELF AND NOT THE DUE TO THE MODIFIED DATA FILES!  THIS WILL
SAVE YOU AND DYNAMIX ALLOT OF TIME!



-COMPATIBLE AOTP VERSIONS:

THESE MODIFIED DATA FILES HAVE BEEN TESTED AND FOUND TO WORK
WITH:

WWII:1946       V1.1 (PATCH A)

*NOTE:  THE 1946 EXPANSION DISK IS REQUIRED DUE TO THE USAGE 
        OF THE F8F'S WINGS AND TAIL.



-VCR PLAY BACK PROBLEMS:

ONE SIDE EFFECT TO USING THESE MODIFIED DATA FILES IS THAT YOUR
PREVIOUSLY RECORDED VCR FILES WILL MOST LIKELY NOT PLAY BACK 
PROPERLY AFTER IMPLEMENTING THESE MODIFIED DATA FILES 
(I.E. AIRCRAFT WILL APPEAR TO SHOOT AT A TARGET THAT IS NOT 
THERE! ETC.)  ALSO YOU OR ANYONE ELSE THAT VIES YOUR VCR FILES
THAT ARE RECORDED WITH THESE MODIFIED DATA FILES WILL HAVE TO
VIEW THEM WITH THE MODIFIED DATA FILES IMPLEMENTED IF YOU OR 
THEY PLAN ON REPLAYING A VCR TAPE BACK AS IT WAS ORIGINALLY 
RECORDED.  ALSO NOTE THAT THIS IS A SURE WAY TO SEE IF ANYONE 
UTILIZED THESE MODIFIED DATA FILES DURING A AOTP TOURNAMENT!



-POINT OF CONTACT & CAUTIONARY NOTICES:

IF YOU ARE HAVING ANY PROBLEMS WITH THESE MODIFIED DATA FILES I
WILL BE GLAD TO TRY AND HELP YOU!  BUT NOTE THAT THE UTILIZATION 
OF THESE MODIFIED DATA FILES AND INFORMATION IS AT YOUR OWN 
RISK!  I ASSUME NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY DAMAGE THAT MAY OCCUR 
DUE TO THE USE OF THIS INFORMATION OR THESE MODIFIED DATA FILES.  
NOTE THAT IT IS ALWAYS A GOOD IDEA TO MAKE BACKUP COPIES BEFORE 
APPLYING ANY NON DYNAMIX MODIFICATION.
