When you installed Pro Pilot 99, a Sierra Utilities icon appeared at the top
of your Windows Start menu. This utility allows you to easily register or
uninstall any Sierra programs that are detected on your computer. You may
also access the Readme file for any detected program. The Support option
within this utility is an online Setup Help file that provides answers to
hardware questions, troubleshooting issues, and explains how to create a
Windows boot disk.
If, for any reason, you would like to remove this icon, go to the Start menu
and select Settings>Taskbar. Select the Start Menu Programs tab and click the
Remove button. Scroll to the bottom of the programs list where you should see
the Sierra Utilities icon listed. Highlight it and click Remove.

III. GENERAL TECHNICAL ISSUES
-----------------------------
3Dfx Issues:
In general, VooDoo cards are supported but there are certain issues that
have arisen. Basically, VooDoo 1 cards are darker and require the user to
manually set the Gamma settings to a higher level. Conversely, VooDoo 2
cards are brighter and may require the user to set the Gamma lower than the
default.
IV. GENERAL GAME ISSUES
-----------------------
Also included on your Pro Pilot 99 CD is an accessories folder. This folder
contains a few goodies to help you make your Pro Pilot 99 experience even
more like the real thing. The accessories.txt file in the accessories
folder contains instructions on what they are and how to use them.
Autopilot Modes:
This is information regarding how the autopilot works. It describes the
modes and their functions.
ALT- Altitude hold. No horizontal guidance.
APR- Approach mode. Localizer tracking. Glideslope activates only when ALT
is pressed as well.
BC- Back Course mode. Localizer back course tracking.
HDG- Heading hold. Hold the heading set by the heading bug. No vertical
hold.
NAV- NAV Hold. Holds the NAV course in the NAV 1 radio. No vertical hold.
AP- AP only mode incorporates a wing-leveler and pitch hold. Pitch changes
are accomplished by using the white trim button on the autopilot.
V. VERSION 1.1 ADDITIONS
-------------------------
Aircraft
1) Exaggerated over-banking tendency with banks greater than 30 degrees have
been reduced.
2) Bonanza fuel selector, right fuel selection no longer drains fuel from
both tanks.
3) Fuel consumption of all a/c have been improved for accuracy.
4) Excess ballooning effect when applying flaps (especially first notch of
an a/c), has been adjusted in all a/c.
5) Attitude indicator's miniature airplane is no longer 1-degree pitch up
when straight-and-level with a/c using an EADI, (B200 and 525CJ).
6) Trim wheel jitters with A/P ALT HOLD engaged has been smoothed out.
7) Trim adjustment for joystick; due to excess input with repeat, the
smallest trim adjustment using joystick control was 2-3 times as great
as using the keyboard and has been corrected.
8) Trim command effect can now be defined in the [Aircraft] section
FLIGHT.INI for each a/c by assigning the ini variable names:
"172Trim=", "V35=", "B58=", "B200=", and "525CJ=". Values can range
from 1 to 32. The best way to create this entry is to run the program,
then open the ini and enter the values (you will not see the field until
you run the flight.exe once).
9) Excess tachometer values for the V35 and the B58, with throttle at
idle has been corrected.
10) Speed brakes on Citation jet have been reduced in effect (about 50%).
11) Takeoff acceleration for all a/c is more appropriately modeled.
12) Rolling friction for all a/c is more appropriately modeled.
13) P-factor/slipstream effects are effective (with auto-coordination off).
14) Prop RPM on B200 is no longer entirely dependent on prop lever position.
15) N1 and N2 gauges now reflect spool-up and spool-down on the B200 and
525CJ.
16) Landing bounce has been dampened.
17) Excessive pitch up tendency when reaching airspeed at which elevator
begins to lose effectiveness has been eliminated.
18) Wind milling effects engine rpm and is reflected on tachometer, with
engine either on or off on prop a/c.
19) A feathered prop on either the B58 or B200 will now reduce drag, thus
helping to eliminate the "yaw" of a "dead" engine, or the drag of two
"dead" engines.
20) Vmca and Vyse are modeled more accurately on the B58 and B200.
21) Lift and drag characteristics in a/c have been improved in steep banks
over 60 degrees.
Navaids
22) Low altitude VOR's range over 18,000 ft is now domed to 19,500 if a/c
is within 40 nm; whereas a terminal VOR's range is now domed to 13,500 if
a/c is within 25 nm.
23) European waypoints are now displayed on GPS.
Visuals
24) Propeller visual for the King Air B200: right propeller now rotates
clockwise, not incorrectly in a counter-rotating fashion.
25) Spinning propeller after shutdown in the V35 and left-engine on the
B58, if the prop advance for the appropriate engine was not positioned at
full pitch, now stops.
26) Baron, and King Air prop animations can now be feathered with prop
lever.
27) Nose-down camera rotation effect accompanied with braking with a high
throttle setting now only occurs with the forward cockpit view active.
Sound
28) Stall warning is no longer a pulsing intermittent sound, toggling off
and on incorrectly, but is now a constant sound, given that the stall
warning is active.
29) Changing prop pitch on the King Air now has a discernable effect on
sound.
30) Bonanza warning horn sounds if the throttle is retarded below 12 in Hg
manifold pressure with landing gear retracted.
31) Baron warning horn sounds if the landing gear are retracted and either
or both throttles are retarded below 20 in hg. This warning is disabled
if airspeed is above 119 knots. With flaps full the warning horn will sound
regardless of airspeed and throttle position if the landing gear are not
down.
32) King Air warning horn sounds with flaps in Up or APR and N1 below 80%
or flaps full and landing gear are up
33) Citation master warning occurs if gear are down or flaps extended and
airspeed is over 186 knots; or if gear are up and airspeed is under 110
knots; or if flaps are fully extended and airspeed is greater than 161
knots; or if flaps are partially extended and airspeed is greater than
200 knots; or if flaps are on GND in flight, or on the ground and N1 is
greater than 85%.
34) Artificial autopilot disengage warning sound has been removed, thus
eliminating the five-second delay for the autopilot to disengage.
