- Installation Notes for the Flight Unlimited Beta Patch
-
- This patch contains following bug fixes and enhancements:
-
- 1. New code for joystick hat calibration which should fix the spinning
- cockpit and views caused by improper hat calibration with Thrustmaster
- Wingman joysticks.
-
- 2. New code for joystick calibration which should fix joystick non-detection.
- We know that this patch will not fix joystick miscalibration. We are still
- working on this problem and will release a new version of this patch
- when we have a fix for this problem.
-
- 3. New code which traps and avoids the divide overflow error caused by
- old mouse drivers.
-
- 4. There are fixes for 2 physics bugs. The first fixes a problem that
- prevented inverted spins from being correctly modeled in certain
- circumstances. The second caused the altimeter to jump a couple
- hundred feet at certain altitudes.
-
- 5. There are two fixes to the video code. The first caused Flight to
- not recognize certain video cards as being VESA 2.0 compliant.
- The second caused the palette from being initialized correctly on
- certain video cards.
-
- 6. Total energy compensation is now modeled correctly in the Grob's
- variometer.

- INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
-
- Copy the included file patch.exe to the flight directory on your hard
- drive and execute it by typing "patch" (minus the quotes of course) then
- press enter. This will unpack the patch files. Next type GO and then
- press enter to start the patch process. When you are asked if it is ok
- to overwrite any files answer yes.
-
- The patch should now be installed and you can start Flight as you normally
- do and the new code should be used.
-
- OPERATION NOTES
-
- If you have a Thrustmaster or Wingman Extreme joystick you will be asked
- to move your joystick hat to all 4 corners, please move the hat slowly and
- make sure to move it all the way to the corners. CH joysticks use a
- different method of sending hat data and will calibrate automatically.
