Service Pack v05.15.06 brings the game code to the same level as our
latest game, Wings Over Europe.

After upgrading with this Service Pack, the game will require the
latest version of DirectX (9.0c April 2006) to run correctly.
Please visit the Microsoft website at

http://www.microsoft.com/windows/directx/

to download and install the latest version of DirectX.

This Service Pack can be applied to any previous version of Strike
Fighters Project 1. However, due to some re-organization of the data,
we highly recommend you install this over a clean install of the game
- uninstall the game first, manually delete the folder to remove any
mods not uninstalled, reinstall the game from original CD, then apply
the Service Pack.

Some previous mods may not be fully compatible after upgrading with
Service Pack. If you find any mods not working, please check with
mod-makers to provide you with updated version of their mods.

List of changes in this Service Pack include:

* Environmental graphics have been improved, with 3d clouds added.

* Support for laser-guided bombs and electro-optically guided weapons
have been added.

* Support for more modern HUD (Heads Up Display) has been added.

* Easy Avionics radar has a new and improved look.

monitors (both 16:9 and 16:10 aspect ratio) and 5:4 aspect ratio
common with LCD monitors, has been added.

* You can now connect directly using TCP/IP from in-game Network
Connection Screen. To connect using TCP/IP, select Multiplayer from
the Main Screen, type in the TCP/IP address (in 123.456.789.123 format)
in the Address box, then select "Internet TCP/IP" on the Connection Type
drop-down menu.

* AI air-to-air gunnery has been improved.

* AI can now read aircraft-specific AI data from each aircraft_data.ini.

* Ground object data have been re-organized, and you no longer need
to edit the master GroundObjectList.ini to add or remove ground objects.

* All F-4 data files were edited to show pylon adapters, changing the
station numbers on outer wings pylons.

* F-4J and A-4F (which were available as separate downloadable dd-ons)
are now fully included in the game.
