VERSION 1.28D

2/January/2010

Version 1.28D - What's in the new patch?

This version is an adaptation of the 1.28c exe, which included the fix for the 7217 graphics error. However, it was found that many still suffered from "screen tearing," and most ATI users had a briefing screen and map error that made the selection of bases and targets difficult. This exe fixes most of those problems by changing the resolution of the menu screens to 1024x768 from the default 640x480. Please note that many Nvidia graphics cargs newer than the 6000 still suffer from the screen tearing issue. People with this situation can still play by using the "JIMM" file system created by Mr. Jelly. In addition to the graphics update, this exe also includes a number of changes by Knegel and Mr. Jelly: (See the readme for details). 1. Multiple controllers are usable. 2. The mousewheel can be used as a throttle. 3. Rearming feature for online play. 4. "Kill Shooter" feature for online play. This feature prevents "sniping" off players as they spawn. 5. Bug fix for bomb dropping. In online play in the default game, it still appeared as though the bomb were still on the hardpoint after dropping. 6. In online mode, a chatting player can not shoot. 7. You can now join an online game in progress. 8. New "End Mission," "Quit Game," and "Pause" routines for Multiplayer. In the default game these would cause pauses for all players. 9. "Warp" correction - cartwheeling planes due to lag and other issues - has been adjusted. 10. Chat mode can be made "hot" so you don't have to hit the first letter twice. 11. "War Emergency Power" setting implemented. 12. "Computed gunsight" has been implented. This code was left out of the 1.28c exe. Caution and Disclaimer ... While most existing addon mods should be compatible with this patch, some mods e.g. Flight models, will disable some features and produce minor gameplay problems. The normal rules apply about online compatibility. We accept no liability for any damage this might do to your system. By installing this patch you accept full liability for installing this to your own computer and do so at your own risk. Having said this, it has been fully play tested with no resulting problems on our computers.
