News
----

The SAR Flight Model (SFM) Flight Dynamics library has been built into
this version. You may notice a slight differance in flight
characteristics. If turnout for this library is popular enough,
it will be turned into a shared library for other flight sims to use.

SFM simulates physical equation answers rather than simulating the
equations themselves, this saves computing time and produces
reasonably real results.

Improved mission and model file format, fixed a few additional bugs
in file parsing and menu list scrolling. Added culling to all
3D models.

New Los Angeles scenery added with improved efficiency. Missions tweeked
to accomidate new coordinates. Minor changes to scene file format.
