- INSTRUCTIONS for v1.01 patch to Over the Reich.
-
- This patch will update v1.0 of OTR31.EXE : the Windows 3.1 version of
- Over the Reich. (A patch for OTR95.EXE, the Windows 95 version,
- is separately available).
-
- Be sure to visit our website at <http://www.bigtimesoftware.com> for
- the latest information!
-
- NOTE: You can determine the version number of Over the Reich by
- selecting the "About Over the Reich..." menu item when Over the
- Reich is running. The version number is shown in the lower-left
- corner of the window that appears.
-
-
- 1. You have downloaded a file called PATCH31.EXE.
-
- 2. "Self-extract" the file by double-clicking it (in Windows 95) or
- typing "PATCH31" (in DOS).
-
- 3. Three files will appear. This text file you are currently reading
- (README.TXT) is one of them (so you must have figured out how
- to do the first two steps already). The other files are PATCH.EXE
- and PATCH.RTP.
-
- 4. Copy PATCH.EXE and PATCH.RTP over to the directory in which the
- Over the Reich application resides (it ought to be C:\OVRREICH
- unless you changed the default during installation).
-
- 5. Switch to the C:\OVRREICH directory (or wherever the Over the Reich
- application is).
-
- 6. Double-click on PATCH.EXE (in Windows 95) or type "PATCH" (in DOS).
- This will update your copy of Over the Reich.

- ====
-
- * Bomber defensive fire has been reduced in effectiveness.
-
- * A centering 'c' key resets flight stick to straight-ahead.
-
- * A new menu option, "Easier Computer Player", reduces effectiveness
- of all computer-player gunfire, including defensive fire.
-
- * Reinforcements at combat scale are less frequent, especially later
- in the dogfight.
-
- * Your fighter squadrons are more likely to set up for a head-on attack
- versus bombers (especially true for jets).
-
- * Airplanes and pilots suffer damage and loss of consciousness from
- high-G maneuvers less often and for shorter periods now.
-
- * v1.0 had a bug where friendly bombers that escaped during a dogfight
- would be lost from your squadron if your remaining fighters
- subsequently disengaged and left enemy fighters behind. This is
- fixed.
-
- * When your airplanes were surprised, v1.0 had a bug that sometimes
- caused some of them to disengage automatically without you telling
- them to. This has been fixed.
-
- * The AI is changed a little: it's now harder to use your wingmen as
- "bait" for the computer.
-
- * Sometimes in v1.0, certain airplanes, when loaded with rockets or
- bombs and traveling at low speed, would be unable to bank even one
- increment. This has been fixed.
