Battle of Britain 2 Update v.2.01
September 20th, 2005

Changes from boxed version v2.00 to v2.01

* Bug fixes:
- Several bugs have been fixed that can lead to CTDs (Crashes To Desktop).
- In-game / Windows resolution is automatically synchronized for increased
stability with background applications running.
- If TrackIR or Newview (et al) are detected but not enabled, the program will
revert back to mouse/keyboard/POV view control.
- Fix for vanishing replay-buttons.
- Some lines, for example those of the Enemy Position Indicator, used wrong
colour(s).
- Correct handling of dummy anims (possibly caused a crash).
- Do17 skin adjusted (main wing bottom).
- Ju88 engine texture fix.

* Other Improvements:
- SmoothenFrameRate changed to SmoothenFramerateMode and reworked. The default
smoothens but does not limit fps.
- New bdg.txt variable "NO_OUTSIDE_TRACKIR"
- The bdg.txt variable OPTIMISE_OBJECTS_AT_RUNTIME changed to
DISABLE_OPTIMISE_OBJECTS_AT_RUNTIME so that the old setting is ignored. The new
default is to optimise.
- In OPTIONS, "reflections" has been renamed to "mirror."
- Optimised for framerate (mainly by going to a 32 bit FVF). Unfortunately the
effect seems to be very small.
- Reduced usage of video memory on 64 MB cards a bit.
- Improved debug code/warnings in a lot of places.
- Better lighting on individual trees.
- Smoke trails further tuned.
- Cannon smoke more subtle.
- Engine sputter sound re-worked.
- Throttle off warning sound reduced.
- Brighton and Cathedral texture reduced in size.
