iF-16
Patch Version 1.3
www.imagicgames.com
Nov 24, 1997
This patch for the Windows version of iF-16.
Improvements:
1. "Check six" views implemented.
"Check six" functions by allowing pilots to look 180 degrees to the rear
over either their left or right shoulder. From this viewpoint, pilots will
see the dorsal surface of their aircraft and be able to view, with some
obstruction from the ejection seat and tailfin, their entire rear aspect.
In addition to the left and right view, "check six" works in two modes -
Quick and Sticky. Quick view shows the rear aspect only for the length of
time which you depress the view key. Sticky mode locks the rear aspect view
until you switch back to a front view.
Controls for the check-six view are as follows:
* Numbers 9 and 0 (zero) on the typewriter keys select left or right rear
aspect respectively.
These two keys alone activate check-six in Quick mode.
* To use check-six in Sticky mode, hold a Shift key while you tap either 9
or 0 (zero). The view will be locked until you select a new view key.
2. The frame rate has been improved.
3. For CH joysticks, the coolie-hat up direction now works.
4. Laser designation has been overhauled. The LANTIRN will now recognize
designation by ground troops and autodesignation will work properly.
A. Gain altitude.
B. Ground Radar must be turned off.
C. Select LGB - you want the LGB to be in CCIP mode (will be
displayed on the HUD).
D. Once the target has been designated by the ground troops the
aiming recticle will appear.
E. Drop the bomb.
5. The Messaging & Comms System will work in two player game in addition to
network play.
