2) Sound Board Support:
   a) Innovation     
      Installation: For 360K floppy users copy the file BSOUND.EXE from 
      Disk B to your copy of Disk A.  You will have to delete either
      ISOUND.EXE(standard IBM sounds) or TSOUND.EXE(Tandy sounds) to make
      room for BSOUND.EXE.  For other users follow the standard installation
      instructions.
      Running: Run the game with "F19 /AB" to use the Innovation driver.
       
   b) AdLib     
      Installation: For 360K floppy users copy the file ASOUND.EXE from 
      Disk B to your copy of Disk A.  You will have to delete either
      ISOUND.EXE(standard IBM sounds) or TSOUND.EXE(Tandy sounds) to make
      room for BSOUND.EXE.  For other users follow the standard installation
      instructions.
      Running: Run the game with "F19 /AA" to use the AdLib driver.
       

3) Graphic Card Problems
   a) Everex EVGA - This card has a bug in the BIOS that locks up F19.  If 
      you have this card call Everex, they have a memory resident patch for
      this problem.
   b) ATI VGA Wonder - This card has a hardware problem that prevents F19
      from working in VGA mode. We have heard that the following batch file
      should make the game should play correctly in VGA mode:

                vconfig fix on
                F19
                vconfig fix off


      The vconfig utility program is supplied on the ATI VGA Wonder disks.




4) New Features:

   The ALT-H key will now toggle the Pitch Ladder between always on and only 
   on in high pitch angles.

   Low altitude buzzer - In Realistic flight mode a warning buzzer will sound
   when you are in danger of crashing into the ground.  In the other modes 
   the "ground avoidance" system kicks in just like the previous versions.  



5) If you wish to make your Stealth Fighter look like the EF117A (the Air
   Force version) do the following on either your working copy of Disk B or
   in your F19 directory.

          copy STFLT.3D3 STFLTF19.3D3
          copy STFLT117.3D3 STFLT.3D3


   This preserves the current picture of the plane in STFLTF19.3D3. If you 
   want to restore the original picture simply:

          copy STFLTF19.3D3 STFLT.3D3
