To update your copy of Flight Commander from version 1.0 to version 1.1, just double-click the "Flight Commander 1.1 patch" application and follow the instructions on the screen.
The following is a list of new features and bug fixes found in version 1.1 of Flight Commander as compared to version 1.0. Please use the included "patch" program to update your copy of Flight Commander to version 1.1.
NEW FEATURES
-------------
• COPY ORDERS: A new item has been added to the "Radio" menu. It's at the bottom and reads, "Copy Maneuver to Aircraft with Higher I.D. #'s." When you select this, all aircraft with higher I.D. numbers than the aircraft currently receiving orders will attempt to copy the maneuver path of the current aircraft. This can be useful for times whem, for example, you'd like your whole squadron to turn to the left and dive one level. Just select the aircraft with the lowest I.D. number (usually #0) and give it the maneuver you want. Then select "Copy Maneuver to Aircraft with Higher I.D. #'s." from the Radio menu and the other aircraft will copy the maneuver. (Exception: Immelmanns and Split-S's are not copied).
• ADVANCED OPTIONS SETTINGS ARE REMEMBERED: Advanced options selections are now saved in a preferences file, so they'll stay the same from game to game unless you change them.
• NEW BATTLE SCENARIO: "Storm in the Gulf." Hypothetical Iraqi attack on hastily prepared coalition defenses during Desert Shield.
BUG FIXES
---------
• SCENARIOS: some bug fixes have been made to the following scenarios: Milk Run, Nightmare 2000, Crusader vs. MiG, and Tank Busters. New copies of these scenarios have been provided, and you should replace the old ones with these new ones.
