In multi player mode, you can set the ADF needle to lock on to the other plane. Distance to the other plane can be displayed. The program is no longer copy protected. It will run from a hard disk or ram. Bug fixes --------- Fuel consumption is more realistic. Change in map zooming allows viewing a much larger area. All San Francisco ILS approaches now function correctly. Various ------- The upgrade is free. Just send your 1.0 disk to Sublogic, ATTN: PROGRAM UPGRADE. Sublogic says that they are gradually going to drop copy protection on all of it's products. They want users to be able to backup software and use hard disks, and they feel the market is now more mature and doesn't condone copying the way that it used to. Sublogic will continue to produce products for 8 bit machines. Sublogic is in the process of digitizing large areas of Western Europe for a European scenery disk to be released later this year. Flight sim II for the COCO 3 will be released Sept 15. Sublogic now has a Software Guide, "this beautiful twelve page four-color collector's item (suitable for framing!) is ready for mailing". It's free for the asking. Main address ------------ subLOGIC Corporation 713 Edgebrook Drive Champaign IL 61820 Phone ----- Information & Order Line: (800) 637-4983 Illinois: (217) 359-8482 Problems -------- Contact the office of Stu Moment, Chairman Personal note: I've called subLOGIC in the past, and they've been very nice and very helpful, like ASDG. They make a good product at a reasonable price so please don't rip them off. They've been sending me newsletters ever since I sent in my registration. I asked them recently when JET would be out, and they said it had been moved back to the fall because they were having problems. Damn! (Don't they KNOW that every Amiga owner in existence will immediately break every speed limit to rush to the store and buy JET????) I have no affiliation with subLOGIC or ASDG except as a satisfied customer.
