WarBirds 1.10 Changes/Additions NOTE: WarBirds version 1.10 is the last version which guarantees 68K Mac support. Future releases may or may not include a 68K version. 1- Pieces falling off planes will remain visible. This feature can be toggled with "alt n". 2- Collisions are once again disabled for aircraft on the ground. 3- Third-party connection tools are no longer needed. WarBirds will now support Open Trransport, MacTCP, and Serial (UNIX shell) connections internally. 4- The new F4U Corsair cockpit art is available. The old F4U art is no longer functional. 5- The newer P-51 art is now mandatory. The old (1.08) P-51 art will no longer function. 6- The Hellcat's flaps now produce an appropriate amount of drag in the down position. 7- The Bf109F climb performance bug has been squashed. 8- Aircraft additions for 1.10: Nakajima Ki-84 added (Artwork is available) Bf109K-4 joins the F-4 and G-6 variants (no new artwork) P-38L Lightning variant added (no new artwork) P-38J-25LO replaced by P-38J-15LO (no new artwork) Fw190A-8 and D-9 join the A-4 (no new artwork) B-25J added (new art IS necessary to use bombsight) WarBirds 1.09 Changes/Additions -1- 1- The radios have been changed.

Each plane will have a choice of several historically based loadouts. Full details of the new ordnance commands can be found in the "readme.txt" or WarBirds Help files. 3- Some changes have been made to the flight model. Look for different post stall and spin behavior, and a somewhat different feel to the controls. Stalls should be much more progressive now, it should be easier to "feel" the onset of a stall and prevent a spin. 4- A new ground handling model has been put in place. Take off and landing is somewhat trickier than before... so get some offline practice in. 5- Any part of an aircraft in flight that contacts the ground will now suffer the damage. No more dragging wingtips or high speed ditches... try it offline and watch what happens... 6- There will be three different types of smoke to indicate different kinds of damage... Black smoke indicates a dead engine, gray smoke -2- indicates an engine oil leak, and white smoke indicates a fuel tank rupture. 7- The terrain has been simplified a bit and the graphics code has been massaged to improve framerate. 8- There is now only one carrier group operating in the arena.
