This patch will upgrade FlightManager from Version 1.1 to the BETA Version 1.1a.
You need to have Flightmanager 1.1 installed to use this patch.
Version 1.1a is beta version with the main aim towards solving the 'Out of Memory' error caused by some rare but fuzzy *.WX files.
More information is available at the Support Forum, support.flightmanager at news server new.simflight.com.
Installation
============
Copy the file FlightManager.exe over the existing file in your .\FlightComp\FlightWare Directory.
As Version 1.1a is a BETA Version it is strongly recommended to keep a backup copy of the existing FlightManager.exe.
Corrected Errors
================
* Some users have reported an 'Out of Memory' error when starting FlightMangager. The information available so far indicates that this situation is a result of some fuzzy *.WX files which request 5 layers of surface wind - whatever 5 layers of surface might be good for. As a consequence succeeding weather areas seem to request billions of wind, cloud and temperature layers, resulting in an 'Out of Memory' Error finally .
FS2000 seems to handle these files by using the first layer only and ignoring the other four layers. This sounds like an excellent idea to me. So I have enabled FlightManager to do the same, thus no longer falling into the 'out of memory' trap.
So far I have received 2 such files of this type only. Version 1.1a works fine with these files but nevertheless it must be be considered a BETA version.
In addition Version 1.1a is highly immunized against similar fuzzy *.WX files. If such another type of fuzzy *.WX file is found an error message will be raised, but the program will no longer terminate.
* If you use weather copied up from FS2000 or FS98 in your flightplan the runway selection will be done based on surface winds now - as it should be.
* Users having no Flight Simulator installed will also be able to use FlightManger 1.1. Of course weather will not be available, but the program will start now.
