1.09 CHANGES
------------
AHVOICE is now integrated into Aces High.
Added a new film viewer/editor. This is a separate executable that can be launched from your start menu.
Modified the strategic and resupply system. Updated current arena terrains to reflect the changes.
Radio bar has been changed to a transparent window. The alpha can be adjusted in Setup->GUI.
Added the following planes: Spitfire I, Hurricane I, Bf 109E-4, Bf 110C-4, Bf 110G-2, and Ki-67.
A room list now appears when players are in the tower or when they pull up the radio bar. This list includes all players who are in your "room" (hangar, tower, or maproom). The range channel (F12) talks to these people through AHVOICE. If you have changed your keymap in the past, you will need to manually map this function in your keymap.
Clipboard map icon now flash when the target is under attack. When a new target comes under attack, a short audible warning sounds to all players in the country. An air raid siren is triggered at the target being attacked.
The Arena Selection screen now shows ping times for available arenas. Highlighting an arena in the list and clicking Ping Details shows additional information about the connection to that arena.
A Master Volume has been added to Setup->Sounds which controls all volumes with the exception of voice.
Added new fields maps to the clipboard map displayer. These maps are not included in the patch and will be available as a separate download.
New arena variables include:
SectorCounterAlt - Controls minimum altitude above the terrain before a player shows up on sector counters.
WarningFlags[pcMAX_COUNTRY] - Controls which models (fighter, bomber, vehicle, boat) trigger air raid warnings.
FighterWarningRange, BomberWarningRange, VehicleWarningRange, BoatWarningRange - The range (in feet) from each field, factory, city or HQ when warning is triggered.
