Grazie della notizia.
Senti, mentre aspetto un momento propizio per scaricare gli oltre 7Mb non è
che potresti illuminarci sulle modifiche introdotte dalla Patch ?
Per esempio è ora supportato completamente il Force Feed Back (in
particolare la variabilità dello sforzo da esercitare sulla barra mentre
trimmi l'aeromobile) ?
Grazie.

Problems Fixed
This patch addresses the following issues:
	NOTE:	This is a beta patch.  We believe each of these items has been addressed, but the entire product will not be regression tested until we have completed maintenance on all 1.01 issues.  If you believe that an item below is not fixed, and you can offer details to reproduce the problem, please e-mail 
bu...@iflytri.com
 and report the problem you are experiencing.
10/07/99 (1.00.78)
	NOTE:	New keys have been added to the product.  Any customizations you have made to the DEFAULT.KEY file will be lost.
	-	3Dfx Voodoo Banshee and Voodoo 3 series cards displayed multi-colored runways. Fixed.
	-	Abort Autoland Key (Shift+Z) was not terminating all autoland assistance; fixed.
	-	Access Violations which occurred when exiting and re-entering the simulation (either through Flight Planner or loading new Fly Now scenarios) have been fixed.
	-	Access Violations which occurred when viewing an overhead cockpit panel, then attempting to access ATC or Auto-Tune menu (~ key) have been fixed.
	-	Added Icing message announcement in-flight when icing is occuring. Message can be disabled by setting the enableIcingMessage=0 in the FLY.INI file ([SIM] section).
	-	AI: Computer controlled aircraft can now correctly follow (and repeat) a flight plan.
	-	AI: Computer planes landing VFR were missing the handoff from Ground Control; fixed.
	-	AI: Taxiing to parking was not working when no taxiway data available; fixed.
	-	AI: Touchdown points at many airports were incorrect; fixed.
	-	All Aircraft: Flap sounds could be heard even if flaps did not have power; fixed.
	-	All Aircraft: Default cockpit panel positions have been updated.
	-	ATC: Fixed bug where some ATC service types were not correctly identified.  A symptom was that Phoenix didn't have Approach Control because it was a shared frequency with another ATC service.
	-	ATC: New worldwide Center database now available. This corrects serious gaps and missing coverage in most parts of the world, including major areas of the United States. This fix should address most ATC handoff issues.
	-	ATC: Sound checkbox in Sound dialog was not being detected; fixed.
	-	ATC: "Descend and Maintain zero feet" bug has been fixed.
	-	ATIS: Previous patch broke the number 9 in ATIS reports (i.e. "29.92" would be reported as "2.2".) Fixed.
	-	Autopilot Sync Button now supported (assign in Controls; unassigned by default). Press and hold to activiate; it will reset in 0.31 seconds after release. When Sync is activated, it disables the elevator AP modes as well as the auto-trim function. This enables the pilot to have full control of elevator without fighting the AP (if lateral modes are engaged, they remain engaged.) After releasing the Sync key (if preceded by pitch hold mode), then the current pitch attitude becomes the AP pitch command. After releasing the Sync key (if preceded by vertical rate hold mode), then the current vertical rate becomes the AP vertical rate command.
	-	Autopilots: Added Roll Rate FB to Bank AP Mode to damp out roll oscillations.
	-	Auto-takeoff: If further than 5nm from a runway, activating auto-takeoff would place the plane 2000 ft above it’s current altitude. Now, if you select Auto-takeoff and are further away than 5nm from the nearest runway, the message “Too far from any known runway” will appear, and the aircraft will remain on the ground.
	-	COM and NAV radios would incorrectly “roll” the whole portion of the digits when changing the fractional frequency. This allowed the radio to attempt to tune outside of it’s operating range. Fixed.
	-	GPS: GPS is now capable of tracking all waypoint types set in Flight Planner.
	-	GPS: Reduced the number of possible unidentified waypoints (‘???’) that appear in the GPS flight planner pages.
	-	GPS: The GPS will now calculate a proper course between unidentified waypoints (shown as ‘???’ in GPS).
	-	GPS: HOWTO-KLN89GPS.PDF document to the \HowTo directory. This can be viewed and printed with the Adobe Acrobat viewer 3.0 or higher.
	-	Ground type of taxiways is now concrete instead of dirt.
	-	Hawker: Air Dump Valve was backwards; fixed.
	-	Hawker: Autopilot would not always engage when selected under valid conditions; fixed.
	-	Hawker: Fast/Slow (FOS) meter was extremely sensitive and had much too narrow of a speed range to be useable; fixed.
	-	Hawker: Flaps setting switch now remembers it’s position when switching between cockpit views.
	-	Hawker: FMS NAV page now clips long waypoint names to the screen.
	-	Hawker: FMS state is now saved and restored.
	-	Hawker: IAS bug can now be set by using the V-speed setting knob. To set the IAS bug, turn the V-speed setting know without first selecting a V-speed. The knob, by default, changes the IAS knob unless a V-speed bug is selected.
	-	Hawker: Right Navigation Source Selector is used to select NAV or FMS as the source. This was incorrectly the left selector; fixed.
	-	Hawker: The IAS Bug is updated when in CLIMB Mode or SPEED Mode.
	-	Hawker: The Lateral Modes (NAV,APR) with either (WPT|LOC) selected have a Heading Hold Submode.  (dial AP Hdg Bug to intercept course)
	-	Hawker: The Radial Indicator is slaved to the Segment (FMS Mode) or Approach Heading (LOC Mode) otherwise it can be selected (VOR mode)
	-	Hawker: V-speed bugs can now be set correctly; fixed.
	-	Hawker: Thrust reversers could be deployed without weight on wheels; fixed.
	-	Hawker: Autopilot lateral modes now displayed on PFD. Announcements are:
	+	ROLL - roll mode aka wing leveler.
	+	HDG - heading hold, follows the AP Heading Bug.
	+	FHDG - FMS Heading Submode; same as HDG but the nav source is the FMS.
	+	VOR1 - when the Tuned Navaid is a VOR. Performs radial steering.
	+	LOC1 - when the Tuned Navaid is a LOC. Performs radial steering.
	+	FWPT - when Nav source is the FMS. Performs segment (leg) steering.
	-	Hawker: Autopilot vertical modes now displayed on PFD. Announcements are:
	+	GS - Glideslope captured (green) armed (white) cancels all other vertical modes
	+	VS - Vertical Speed Hold
	+	LCLM - Low Climb Profile. Select CLIMB Mode and toggle profiles using the Perform Select Moding Button
	+	MCLM - Medium Climb Profile.
	+	HCLM - High Climb Profile.
	+	ALT - Altitude Hold. When activated, captures the current Indicated Altitude.
	+	ALTS - Altitude Select Armed. Activated when dialing the Selected Altitude.
	+	ALTS CAP - Altitude Select Capture. Auto-activates then transitions to ALT mode and hold Selected Altitude.
	+	VNAV - Vertical Navigation. Once captured (use any other vertical mode to set vertical intercept) it follows the Flight Planned Altitude Profile.
	+	DES 1000 - Descends at 1000 fpm.
	+	IAS - when activated by pressing SPEED button, it sets the AP Speed Bug on the PFD and pitches the aircraft to maintain the indicated airspeed. You must adjust throttle to acheive the speed.
	+	MACH - second SPEED mode, press the Perform Select button to toggle from IAS to MACH.
	-	HSI course setting could not be correctly set when switching from NAV to GPS slaving; fixed (affected Skyhawk, Navajo, Malibu).
	-	If attempting to start or fly in the area of any airport with the identifier of COM, CON, LPT, or PRN, Fly! would crash.  This is due to a legacy DOS bug in Windows; fixed.
	-	Inclinometer ball has been tweaked.
	-	INI: Added percentOfWindOnGround setting. Set =0 to get default values. Set =1 to get 1% of weather reported windspeed. Set =100 to get 100% of weather reported windspeed.
	-	INI: You can set the variable limitTaxiwayPavementDistance=1 in the FLY.INI file ([Graphics] section) to limit taxiway drawing to areas immediately around the eye. This can improve frame rate, particularly at large airports with complex taxiways.
	-	Joystick: USB joysticks with a throttle axis were not being correctly identified under DirectX 6.1a or DirectX 7. Fixed.
	-	King Air: Props come to a stop more quickly when engines powered off.
	-	King Air: Starting sequence now displays proper N1 and Fuelflow.
	-	King Air: Voltmeters now correctly reflect the generator status.
	-	King Air: Frequency meter is now dependent on Inverter Switch and available power.
	-	King Air: More Primary panel switches and knobs now show state information in popup help.
	-	Macintosh: Fixed Flight Party bug which prevented connections to server.
	-	Malibu: Co-pilot airspeed did not match pilot airspeed; fixed.
	-	Malibu: ELT switch did not function properly; fixed.
	-	Malibu: Engine cutoff value removed from startup checklist animations.
	-	Malibu: Fuel now pumped from the correct tanks.
	-	Malibu: Popup help and status text added to numerous switches.
	-	Malibu: Slave/Free gyro controls were backwards; fixed.
	-	Malibu: Trim indicator and wheel now operate in the correct direction. Up/Down labels were reversed; fixed.
	-	Memory leaks were occuring when using ATC and/or dynamic scenery; fixed.
	-	NAV radios: Eliminate false signal lock when tuning a radio. This bug made it appear that you had a valid VOR or ILS signal, when none was present; fixed.
	-	NAV radios: Tuning ranges for Terminal, Low, and high VOR’s, NDB’s, and localizer/GS have been tweaked.
	-	Navajo: Fuel Pressure gauge was being displayed as Fuel Flow gauge.  Output now correct, and displayed in psi instead of gph. Fixed.
	-	Navajo: Left and right alternator switches (pilot console) now function properly.
	-	Navajo: Manifold Pressure and RPM gauges now use new needles to identify left and right needles.
	-	Navajo: NAV lights switch could not be turned off; fixed.
	-	Navajo: Radar altimeter now displays altitude bug setting in popup help.
	-	Navajo: Some overhead switches were missing sound effects and help text; fixed.
	-	Navajo: Sound effects added for manual air and alternate static air knob.
	-	Reference arrow added to attitude indicator overlay (Navajo, Malibu, and King Air affected).
	-	Right jet engine would not audibly spool up correctly at startup; fixed (Hawker and King Air affected).
	-	S3 Savage4: Fixed ground "whiteout" drawing problems.
	-	Skyhawk: Sound effects added for cabin air, cabin heat,and alternate static air knob.
	-	Skyhawk: Trim indicator and wheel now operate in correct direction.
	-	Sound: New morse code identifiers sounds, which playback at a slower pace.
	-	Sound: Tire screech sounds and crash sound volumes slightly reduced.
	-	Transponder would not accept digit inputs if not allowed to "time out", such as entering digits and switching unit to ON or ALT quickly.  This caused ATC to not recognize that the transponder code had been correctly set. Fixed.
	-	UI: Added progressive delay for search fields and menus.
	-	UI: Airport Dialog would not always match airports by name; fixed.
	-	Vector Map: Aircraft identifiers now highlight when an aircraft is selected.
	-	Vector Map: Runway numbers now come into view sooner.
	-	Vector Map: You can disable the compass plate fading by setting vectorWindowCompassPlateFadeState=0 in the FLY.INI file ([VectorWindow] section).
	-	Voltmeter and Ammeter now shows proper values when running on battery (King Air and Navajo affected).
	-	Weather Radar: Navaid overlay now rotates relative to the aircraft heading.

Grazie !
Hai fatto cosa utilissima non solo a me ma non credo che ci fosse bisogno di
tanto, bastava una descrizione delle correzioni ai bugs da te ritenuti pių
gravi.
Grazie ancora.

Felice di essere stato di aiuto.
Non ti preoccupare,per confezionare il messaggio non ci ho messo piu' di 2
minuti.
Ho creduto che fosse piu' esaustivo inserire tutti i cambiamenti documentati
nel patch piuttosto che il poco che sono riuscito a vedere materialmente io.
A presto rileggerci.


               La piu' GRANDE PASSIONE e' il MARE
Velista anche Tu?
Ciao da Marco m&m.

 Ciao da Marco m&m.
Ciao Marco.
No gommonauta,ma poi sono solo mezzi per vivere il fine che e' il mare ;-)
A presto.

Confermo che sei gią a buon punto, ma se Tu dovessi passare da Rimini potrei
farti innamorare della fantastica sensazione del navigare senza il
sottofondo di un motore. :-)
Ciao da Marco m&m.


Passo io... lo hai un posto da proderie (con o senza trapezio... è
uguale... ;-)?
O hai una barca più grande?? (faccio anche da fan-cazzista nel caso!
;-))
Ciao,
Francesco Aruta
ICQ#27682852

 Ciao da Marco m&m.
Ti ringrazaio per l'offerta Marco,ma ho gia' navigato a vela e so' esattamente
cosa vuole dire.
Permettimi di dissentire sull'essere gia' a buon punto,io amo il mare e amo
pure la navigazione in gommone,che ha svantaggi e vantaggi su quella a vela.
Attualmente per le mie esigenze il gommone mi da' una latitudine di utilizzo e
delle soddisfazzioni enormi.Purtroppo chi va' a vela tende a considerare
l'unico modo di navigare il vento,questa e' la ragione principale per la quale
non frequento piu' it.hobby.nautica.
Mi scuso con tutto il gruppo per l'ot,semmai possiamo continuare ed
approfondire il discorso via e-mail.
A presto.

Ciao Arf.
Io non possiedo una barca, ma un mio cugino ha un Surprise, in cui io sono
parte fondamentale dell'equipaggio :-)).
Abbiamo un bisogno disperato di un nuovo membro dell'equipaggio visto che a
Rimini ci sono più barche che velisti.
Oltretutto un prodiere sarebbe ideale quindi, sarai sicuramente il
benvenuto.
Purtroppo dopo aver partecipato a 2 campionati italiani di classe, ora siamo
ridotti a fare qualche regatina qui un giro a causa del poco tempo a
disposizione.
In ogni modo l'importante è andare per mare, la regata è solamente una
scusa.
Ciao da Marco Masini m&m.


Scusate ma ho inviato al NG involontariamente il post diretto ad Arf.
Ciao da Marco m&m.
