ANTI-CHEATING MEASURES
To prevent cheating by exploiting altered visibility range settings in the graphics.cfg file, the the \Config\ServerGraphics.cfg has been created. Some parameters of graphics.cfg are exported to this file, which is included in the file integrity check system for online play. If the file contents on the client machine differ from the host’s, the client will not be able to connect.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
FLIGHT MODEL CHANGES
+ Fixed an error in the F-15 polar curves that had caused a reduction in time required to achieve sustained turn rate at reduced speeds.
+ For the A-10 and F-15, added automatic flaps extension/retraction based on indicated airspeed when the flaps are set in the “down” position in the cockpit.
+ For the Su-27 and Su-33, adjusted the flaperon mechanization logic (the indicator will blink while the flaperon is adjusting depression angles – this is not a bug).
+ MiG-29 flaps will move with the wind force.

ERROR PROBABILITY FOR RADAR-GUIDED MISSILES ON LOW ALTITUDE
Increased the error probability for radar-guided missiles (ARH, SARH, radio-command guided) based on altitude above ground. Currently the error probability increases from 300 meters to 0. Maximum error probability is at ground level for a target with minimum radial velocity. Error probability is reduced as radial velocity increases to 500 km/h. Above 500 km/h, error probability is minimal regardless of altitude.

TRACK IR
For proper functionality, TrackIR software needs to be update via the “Check for Game Updates” command in the TrackIR software.

FAQ
Q: Upon mission start, the game does no respond to commands and does no unpause. Some buttons do not work, I am unable to save and restore a control profile.
A: Most likely your system has either PuntoSwitcher or NewView software installed. Add the simulation executables (launcher.exe and simulator.exe) to PuntoSwitcher exceptions or stop the program while running the game. For NewView, you will need to rename the working NewView folder prior to starting Flaming Cliffs 2.
