Pacific Fighters v.3.02b (3.02bm)


Warning


The current version 3.02b (3.02bm) is not compatible with the previous versions
of the game when playing via network. Both the server and client must have
appropriate versions of the game in order to connect.

For your convenience we've introduced different version numbers for the
stand-alone installation and the joint FB+AEP+PF install.
3.01b - for stand alone PF
3.01bm - for FB+AEP+PF
And of course, the versions 3.01b and 3.01bm are not compatible with each other
playing via network.

Notes on the Patch Installation

This 3.02b patch may be installed over the previous 3.01 version. The 3.02bm
version can only be installed over the merged PF 3.01m install.

To install the patch, run
1) PF_patch302b_common.exe . Please pay great attention to the installation
path name of the folder. This file is common for the both stand alone and
merged versions. So you need to type manually the name of the folder where it
will be installed.

2) PF_patch302m.exe (PF_patch301bm.exe) and follow the on-screen instructions.

In this version we ask the experienced players to test a new method of running
the game again for final results. Both the old and the new methods are
available at any time, and are fully compatible online.

If you want to test this new method, after install, run the pf_new.exe
(il2fb_new.exe) executable in your PF game folder.

You can always run the game using the tried-and-true old method using the old
shortcuts or pf.exe in the game folder. These remain unchanged. The new
executable is not added to the start or the autorun menus in this version, but
will be added there in the next patch/add-on if enough positive feedback is
gathered.


Notice:

Main modifications and fixes

More inaccuracies in cockpit gauges are corrected (however several cockpit

were made for the P-39s, P400, F4U, F6F and some other planes.

add-on).

3. Improved visibility of many ships.

Notice about item 2: Unfortunately we did it wrong due to wrong initial info.
It's why we changed it now when we got the right info. Due to this change the
tracks which display these bombs my playback incorrect.
