Stop reading my mind!  

===============================

Aces High Version 1.04 Patch 4

Note- There is no Patch 3 version.  It has been intentionally skipped.

Fixed some terrain bugs in the beta terrain.

Fixed the water texture in the normal resolution textures.

Added a .reset command.  This will reset the arena to its starting
configuration in H2H and offline.  CM's can use this command online.
This command can also be used to move the countries around the map.
Usage would be ".reset 3 1 2" to make country 3(rooks) start in country
1's (Bishops) normal position, Bishops to Knights, and Knights to Rooks.

Added some CM features for online use.

Removed squad channel from being included in the online filter when
it is on.

--------------------------------
Aces High Version 1.04 Patch 2

Added more joystick support and analog functionality. Toe brakes, dual throttles,
and analog view hats are now supported through the joystick setup menu.

*NOTE* If you have remapped your joystick axes in the past, you will have to do that
again after you install this version.

Fixed a bug that was causing some plane data to be read incorrectly.
This primarily affected lift and drag from yaw.

A change was made to the communications algorithm to fix a condition that could lead
to seeing warps.

Added a connection monitor that graphs latency to the host as well as host response
time.  This is accessable through the Net Status button under Setup.

Changed throttle response time in planes.  This changes the feeling of the torque
effect some.

Fixed a problem in the Ostwind that was causing icons to occassionally get blocked.

Made a damage adjustment to the Ostwind turret.

Fixed a bug on twin tailed planes that caused a yawing force.

Slightly lowered hangar hardness.

Made a change to bomb and ordnance blast effect to fix conditions where apparent direct
hits were not counted as such.

----------------------------------
Aces High Version 1.04 Patch 1

Corrected Lancaster flight performance.

Fixed damage modeling on Ostwind turret.

Fixed sideslip/knife-edge modeling on planes.

Fixed a hit display bug when shooting ground objects.

Fixed a bug causing combat trim not to default on if auto-takeoffs were turned off.

Fixed rate of fire on the Ostwind.  It now correctly matches the sound.

Fixed an error in one of the Lancaster's bomb loadouts.

Fixed a film viewer bug that made some films unplayable.

Fixed squad logos on the new planes/vehicles.

Fixed gunsights and armor glass on certain planes that were causing icons to disappear.

Changed the coloring of the glass on gunsights.

Made a change to the cowling shape on the 190.

Fixed textures in the B-17 bombadier position.

Fixed fuel gauge in Lancaster to display correctly.

Fixed propeller pitch direction on Ju 88.

Fixed some shape errors with the Ju 88's flaps.

Changed the head movement limitations in the Ju 88.

Made it so guns are visible on the Ju 88 from distance.

-------------------------------------------------

Aces High Version 1.04 Changes

Added a new padlock view mode.  This view mode will switch views to track a selected target.
The padlock will not track targets that are obstructed from view and those targets will
have to be manually reacquired to enable the padlock again.  Normal views can still be
used to look around while in padlock mode.  The default keys for padlock are as follows.  
You may have to manually map this key if you've made any previous changes to your keymap.

F11 - Turns padlock mode on.  A selected target will not be tracked unless in this mode.

TAB - Cycles target selection between available targets in view.  

Shift Tab - Selects the target closest to the center of the screen.  

Control Tab - Toggles friendly mode.  Allows target selection to include friendly planes.

Note: Tab was formerly used as the default key for the message window size.  The default
key for this has been moved to the ~ key.
------------------------------------------------------------------

Added combat trim mode.  This mode is used to keep your plane from getting too far out
of trim, but will not trim your plane as precisely as the manual trim or auto-pilot.
Using manual trim or autopilot will automatically turn off combat trim.  In the flight
setup menu, you can specify whether you want combat trim on or off after you exit
autopilot mode.  CTRL X is the default key to toggle combat trim on and off.  You may
have to manually map this key if you've made any previous changes to your keymap.  A
light in the cockpit displays whether combat trim is on or off.

Added the Ju 88A-4.

Added the Lancaster Mk III and associated ordnance.

Added the 3.7cm Flakpanzer IV "Ostwind".

Made a comprehensive change to the flight engine and models of plane characteristics.  This
resolved a number of issues we had with planes not measuring up to the real counterparts.
Added target drones in offline mode.  The drones only circle for now and will not act
accordingly when damaged.

Made optimizations to the engine for higher framerate.

Changed icons so that they do not appear if the plane is obstructed from view.

Added support to handle different icon settings for the main arena and event arenas.

Changed main arena icon range to 6k.

Changed the down time of the city to 2 hours.

Changed the SF terrain to lower A1 and updated the beta terrain for vehicles.

Fixed a visual problem with the rocket tube on the P-47D-25.

Fixed the gunsight texture on the P-47D-30.

Fixed a weight and ammo load inaccuracy on the Fw 190A-5.

Fixed the elevation range on the upper turret of the B-26.

Fixed the gunsight on the F4U so that it remains square.

Fixed the AA machine-gun on the Panzer so that it no longer shoots off center.

Made a color change on the Spitfire IX paint scheme.

Changed cockpit gauge lights to add unlit states.

Changed the default starting time from morning to afternoon.

Made a change in the way coastlines are smoothed.  This is not yet complete and
will feature smoothed beach transistions.

Fixed a bug causing water textures to show up black.

Added the ability to change terrains offline.  This is done in the setup menu.

Made a change to how we model airframe overstress.  This fixes most of the unanticipated
overstresses, particularly on the wings.

Film viewer now displays correct terrain of film.

Film viewer now correctly displays object states.

Clouds now appear in films if they were present when the film was taken.

The fixed view mode was changed to maintain a fixed distance and viewing angle
from the plane.

Added hot keys to the film viewer.  These keys can only be mapped when you
are in the film viewer.

Changed the loadout hangar for bombers so that the loadout options are not
obscured by the planes.

If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude than the animated contest of freedom, go from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains sit lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen!
