FLY! II PATCH README FILE
Version 2.00.210 -> 2.50.240 Update
December 20, 2002

========================================================

------------------------
REQUIREMENTS
------------------------

Before beginning installation, you need to have Fly! II already updated to version 2.00.210 
or later. If you are running earlier versions of Fly!, you should download and install the 
appropriate patches to bring Fly! to version 2.00.210 or later before continuing. 

To install this update, your machine should meet the following minimum hardware requirements:

	-	Microsoft Windows 98/ME/2000/XP
	-	20MB free hard drive space (on drive where Fly! II is installed)
	-	128MB of system memory (RAM) (256MB or more recommended)
	-	Pentium III processor or better
	-	16MB hardware acceleration card (32MB AGP card strongly recommended; 3Dfx Voodoo 3 cards not supported)

We also recommend that you have Microsoft's DirectX 8.1 or later installed, as well as the latest video
and sound drivers available for your installed hardware. Check your manufacturers support web site for 
the latest drivers.


------------------------
INSTALLATION
------------------------

To install the 2.50.240 patch, double-click the file "fly2patch240.exe". This is a self-extracting
executable. By default, it will extract files to "C:\Program Files\Terminal Reality\Fly! II". If 
you have Fly! II installed to a different path, you will have an opportunity to modify the path before
installation. Follow the on-screen instructions of the self-extract tool, then click the Unzip button
to extract the files to the target directory. This operation will replace files with matching names
in the target directory. Because of this, it is STRONGLY recommended that you backup any files which
are being replaced, in case you wish to return to your previous installation. Below is a list of files
affected by the patch tool:

	fly2.exe
	tridx7.dll
	tridx8.dll
	tridx8tl.dll
	\data\factory.mlf
	\sdk\includes\sdk.h
	\sdk\includes\dllintf.h
	\sdk\includes\sdkintf.h
	\sdk\libraries\flysdk.lib
	\system\modules\pc\pydll.dll
	\system\patch.pod (if present)

Once installed, you can verify you have the latest version by running Fly! II. The opening splash 
screen should show version 2.50.240. You can also read the "readme.rtf" file installed into the Fly! II
directory for a list of all the changes/bug fixes made for the 2.50.240 patch.
