Thanks for posting that link here. I'll continue to post the contents:
Here is the Upgrade for FreeFalcon 5.5. The Team has spent the past 6 weeks reading your posts and your crash logs. We have thoroughly enjoyed seeing the new screen shots and reading your many thanks. We were hopeful that FF5.5 was going to be as enjoyable and stable for you as we were experiencing in our testing. It appears that we met our goal of stability first and renewing the Campaign experience second. Your comments and observations have been noted and some have been implemented. Your crash logs have allowed us to identify some items we missed, and that data has been corrected. We also learn and get better every day, so in these 6 weeks, we have implemented some new improvements. We hope you enjoy the added stability and new features and improvements in the FF5.5.1 Upgrade.



This Up Grade contains;

Crash log Fixes: data base and code changes that were causing CTD's

3D cockpit: additional work by BaldEagle on the WIP, F-16 3D pit.

Improved Campaigns: Greater ground unit intelligence and movement. Increased SAM lethality do to refined data.The AI deployment of Air to Air missiles, by both sides has been improved.

Improved AI: New AI maneuvering capabilities, that is aircraft type specific.

New Tiles: If you choose to install them, you may add RipTiles. These tiles were a WIP and by themselves are stunning. They were designed to be added to the RipTile complete makeover of our stock tiles. They were NOT designed to blend well with the FreeWare Hi Tiles, that is our new stock terrain.

WeePops Touch Buddy: Weepop provided us with this add-on and it was structured incorrectly in FF5.5.

Fixed Theater Bug: Changes to the code were made to allow for unlocked campaign and dedicated data base.

Installation Instructions

For the best possible results we suggest you use the FF5 Uninstaller to remove FF5.5, then do a clean install of FF5.5. After you have re-installed FF5.5, run the Update.

Backing up your log book:

Open the folder where you stored FF5. Most likely it will be on your main drive (C: for instance) under FreeFalcon5. Open the folder named "config". In this folder there will be several folders with your pilots name in it with the extensions: .lbk .pop. .plc and maybe .luc. Copy these files and paste to your desktop (or anywhere else outside the FreeFalcon5 folder.

After fresh install, simply cut and paste your copied files back into the config folder in the FreeFalcon5 folder.
