Version 1.02

Important Patch Notes:

This patch updates your USAF game to version 1.02. Here is a list of additions/fixes in this release:

1) Pentium III Optimizations: The following additional features are optimized for Pentium III users.

Terrain multi-pass rendering

Terrain coverage layer rendering

Pre-fetching memory for 3D objects and terrain blocks

2) Voodoo 3 3000 Flashes in 3D cockpit: Fixes the problem some Voodoo 3 users were encountering with flashing cockpit graphics.

3) Flight model changes/fixes:

Fix to excessive aircraft roll rate which was most apparent in the F-22, F-15 and F-16.

Bobbing effect: This problem was being caused by the flight model G-limiter and is has been substantially improved.

AI Pilot Crashes: AI wingmen were occasionally crashing into the ground, especially when flying the F-117 and A-10. Changes to the maneuver code have made improvements to this.

Engaging the autopilot was sometimes causing excessive up/down pitches. This has been fixed in the patch.

The overall joystick sensitivity has been decreased.

4) AI changes/fixes:

AI wingmen were failing to engage targets over 15 miles, even when requested to do so by a wingman command. This has been fixed.

When taking over an aircraft from the AI it is always at 60% thrust, regardless its previous maneuver. This has been fixed.

When there is a single controllable flight in the mission and the player is shot down and then re-enters the flight, the AI pilot may not give the player control of the new aircraft. This has been fixed.

5) User Mission Editor (UME):

The MiG-29 has been added as a fully controllable aircraft. Previously the MiG-29 was only available in All-Out War and QME. It was available in the UME as a non-controllable aircraft. It will now be available in the UME as a flyable aircraft. A MiG-29 loadout screen and new weapon icons have been added for this feature to work.

The MiG-17 is now available in the UME as a non-controllable aircraft.

6) Additional fixes:

Fatal crash in the QME when revival time is 0 and setting unlimited revivals has been fixed.

Fatal crash in the QME when attempting to restart the mission from the On-the-fly menu has been fixed.

SoundBlaster Live cards were sometimes crashing the application, and this has been fixed.

When playing Multiplayer against the German version, German messages are now correctly displayed.

When panning to the rear of the aircraft in the 3D cockpit, the tail seems raised up. This has been corrected.

In the UME the Enemy Base in US terrain has wrong taxi coordinates. This has been corrected.

Dusk missions in the UME now have airfield lights.

The Basic Air-to-Ground training mission has aircraft landing on top of each other at the beginning of mission. This has been fixed.
