========================================================================
Version 3.00d                            1/5/98
========================================================================

General:

- Fixed a problem with the first digit of the radio gauge on the full 
  screen dash

- Fixed the jumping sector counter problem, for good this time.

- The Radar Counters are now updated after you drag the map in the 
  Sitmap. Before, you would only get counters in the center 16x16 
  sectors of the terrain. This wasn't a problem in the smaller 
  terrains, but it was in Oceania. As a side effect, a single-click on 
  the map will update the counters.

- You will now get a full screen dash with the default cockpit art. Of 
  course, you still don't get full screen dash when you do have the 
  cockpit art, but not the corresponding *.ds_ file.

- Disconnecting from the host is now treated as a fatal error.  

- The disconnect dialogs are now displayed for a limited time before the
  game shuts down.

- A bug which could cause buildings to remain invisible after they were
  repaired has been corrected.

- Bombs will no longer sink islands online.

Host:

- Craters now appear where the bombs hit.

========================================================================
Version 3.00c                            12/16/97
========================================================================

General:

- There is now a checkbox on the Performance tab of the User Preferences
  dialog to control the Color-Key feature.  Owners of FireGL cards will
  want to be sure this box is checked.  Please see ReadMe3D.txt for
  more details.

- There is now a slider on the Performance tab of the User Preferences
  dialog that allows users to adjust the render cache size, which might
  have an effect on framerate on some cards.  Please see ReadMe3D.txt 
  for more details.

- Buffeting now works in AWIII in both hardware and software rendering.

- F3 tracking now works on the overhead map.

- A text formatting error in the F3 tracking display which could cause 
  the range to not be displayed for friendly aircraft with short CPIDs
  has been corrected.

- A problem with the find user feature has been corrected.  The arena
  name in the results dialog is now correct, and the go to arena
  function works.

========================================================================
Version 3.00b                            12/12/97
========================================================================

General:

- The invisible film dialog bug which affects users of certain 3D cards
  has been corrected.  The appearance of the film dialog is now delayed
  until you are in the conference room.

- A bug which could cause planes to become transparent within 200 yards
  has been corrected.  A side effect is that the backgrounds of some 
  animations may not be transparent if your 3D card drivers do not have
  DirectX 5.0 support.  * See 3.00c *

========================================================================
Version 3.00a                            12/9/97
========================================================================

General:

- The sound dialog is now usable in the online-only build.

- A possible cause of invisible planes in flight has been addressed.
  NOTE - If you encounter an invisible plane with this version of the
  front end, please make a detailed report to the bugs news group or
  to aw3@kesmai.com

- Changes have been made to the 3D rendering code to address the 
  problem  of aircraft being difficult to see at mid range 
  (600-1200 yards).

- A bug causing aircraft to disappear when sitting on certain
  runways has been corrected.

- The information in the automated online scenarios group selection
  dialog is now properly formated in columns.

- A bug which could cause you to become the Unknown User has been
  corrected.  This usually occured if you entered an arena, went out
  to the arena selection dialog, then returned to that same arena.

- The briefing room map will now center on Waypoint 0, which may not
  be at the home airfield for automated online scenarios.

- The hardness of the Me110 in offline mission has been reduced. 

- One cause of a flashing line on the left side of the 3D view on
  some 3D accelerator cards, include the Monster 3D, has been 
  corrected.

- Damaged airfields are now corrected colored orange (not yellow)
  in both 2D and 3D modes.

- Force feedback effects for stall and for gear down buffet have been
  enhanced.

Offline Missions:

- Drone speech for ditching and returning to base has been improved.

- New drone speech has been added for final approach and landing.

- Two new drone commands have been added:  STATUS and POSITION.
  Usage:
    '[group id] STATUS
        All drones in the group will report damage, fuel,
        ammo and bomb load.
        If no group ID is specified, it defaults to the group
        you are leading or flying with.
    '[group id] POSITION
        All drones in the group will report sector, heading,
        altitude and airspeed.
        If no group ID is specified, it defaults to the group
        you are leading or flying with.
