Patch Release Information:

Gold version is a little bit more hardware demanding so you have to play with the parameters in the configuration window to get the best results and increase your frame rate. For example lower the horizon distance to its minimum value and texture size to a lower value. You can also reduce the resolution supported by your graphic card, for example in my Voodoo 5500 I get a very good results at 640x480x32 and antialising on.

Please read patch details and keyboard configuration below.

If you are an old user of SotS you will have to send to me your new UserId in order I can generate the serial number for Gold version.

Patch 5.14 - 8th November 2005
----------

Patch 5.11 - 22th October 2005
----------
In patch 5 I have fixed some problems with the "on-line session" window to make
multiplay easier. I have included some death zone for bank control, above all
with motor planes (shooting is easier now). I have reduced to a minimum some
graphic artifacts, making terrain rendering very smooth. I have fixed some
problems with the results window. Improved stalls. Streched cloud field out to
the horizon. Fixed some problems with the F8 and F9 padlock options. Real road
maps can be used now (without distortion). Included webcam device. Included an
option for fast qualifcation for those impatient users. And some other small
points I don't remember now.

Really the webcam is a funny feature. I have included it to get the idea of what
can be to use your head to move your view. At the beginning I had some pain in my
neck :) and was easy to become sick.... but eventually it really gives your flight
a more real feeling. Another serious problem is that is much more difficult to
control your speed, so I use the automatic speed control (press Shift+A). Press
F1 to center the view.

I have included a death zone parameter in the webcam configuration box. I set it
to 3. You can use your mouse to adjust the height if you move it slowly. One way
can be to use it with your left hand. You can press the "8" key in the keypad to
move up or down. You can able/disable webcam pressing Ctrl+W.
