Thank you for taking a look at WWII SkyFighters. I hope you enjoy flying it. Remember, this program is a multi-player game and as such, gets very boring if flown alone. It really shines on a network.
This is the complete WWII SkyFighters, but it will not shoot until you purchase it.
For details on how to purchase WWII SkyFighters and get it to shoot, see the document, '#6 - How To Purchase' in the 'WWII SkyFighters Instructions folder'.
Pilots are waiting to fly against you on the internet. If you have access to IRC you can visit channel #SkyFighters to find ready pilots willing to help you get set up to fly. Or, visit some of the sites mentioned on my web site for additional help. Or, if you are not ready to fly on the internet, talk some of your friends into getting SkyFighters and fly via direct modem. Or fly on a network at work, after hours of course.

WWII SkyFighters uses a 3 digit version number scheme. For example, 1.0v1 was the first release version. The v1 part will likely change from time to time. This part of the version number will change for minor bug fixes and other minor changes. All 1.0vx versions will be compatible. When a larger change happens, like the addition of a new aircraft type, or a new world, then the .0 part will change to .1. So, if you get a future version that is 1.1v1, you will not be able to fly with 1.0 versions. Make sure you tell your friends to download the current version if this happens.
At this time, there are no known incompatibilities or problems WWII SkyFighters. Please report any problems you have to me at 76136.2045@compuserve.com
Thanks.
