- Version 1.0.1 of F/A-18 Mission Chooser has been posted to
- sumex-aim.stanford.edu and Chemotaxis.biology.utah.edu.
-
- No fixes or added functionality, just cut the size in half.
- +---------------------------------------------------------------------+
-
- Q: What does it do?
-
- A: The F/A-18 Mission Chooser (FA18-MC) allows you to choose the next
- mission a pilot will fly in F/A-18 Hornet.
-
-
- Q: Why the hell did v1.0 need to be 150k?
-
- A: It didn't need to be. F/A-18 Mission Chooser evolved from some generic
- roll-yer-own class libraries and I just didn't take the time to
- remove the overhead.
-
- I have since cut much of the uselessness out and v1.0.1 has shrunk
- to about half the original size (72k). If the size is still a
- problem, you can cut the "pretty pictures" out of the resource fork
- and it will shrink to about 40k.
-
-
- Q: F/A-18 Mission Chooser corrupted my PILOT file!
-
- A: Yes, it can happen. If you have a weak heart you should only use
- FA18-MC on copies of your pilot files.
-
- The corruption occurs when you complete a mission and open the pilot
- with FA18-MC without first choosing Get Next Mission in FA18
- Hornet. The fix? Always choose Get Next Mission before using
- FA18-MC.
-
-
- Q: Can you revive my pilot?
-
- A: Perhaps, but first someone will need to find the portion of the
- data file that tells whether the pilot is dead or not. If anyone
- tracks it down, send it to me and I'll put a revive pilot feature in
- FA18-MC. It would also be fairly easy to add mission medals and
- kills if that portion of the data file could be found.
