2. Version Notes
Cross-Country Soaring 98 is the second version of this software
and follows Version 1.0, which was released in July 1997. Here are
the changes that were made to the current version:
-
This version is designed for use with Microsoft
Flight Simulator 98 (instead of FS 5.1). The adventure file
included with Cross-Country Soaring 98 has been converted for use
with MSFS 98 and hasn't been tested with earlier versions.
-
A dedicated web site
has been set up for Cross-Country Soaring 98.
-
The User Guide is in HTML format.
-
No aircraft are distributed with this version. I've decided to leave
glider production up to others in order to focus more on thermal scenery
and adventure programming.
-
Four more scenery files were added, giving a four to five times increase
in the size of the "soarable" area.
-
The adventure program was cleaned up a bit, eliminating pauses in vario
audio and speeding up some calculations.
-
Each scenery file, SOARSFC*.BGL, was reduced in size to only 217 bytes.
