WHATS NEW

0.2.4.a
SOUND! Explosions, engine sounds, gun fire and
even wingmen chatter. Drawback is you now need
to have DirectX 6.0+ or better installed to run
Sabre.  This installation *does not* install 
DirectX for you. Contact Microsoft for latest 
DirectX drivers. A non-sound version, sabrens.exe,
is provided for those who do not have DirectX.


Joystick support, including throttle wheel and
rudder pedals if you have 'em. Menu selection
"Controls/Devices ..." brings up dialog so you 
can select joystick, mouse & keyboard combos.

New views, including a virtual cockpit and
padlock.

Some key commands have been changed, check the
help topic "Keys Reference" for updated listing.

0.2.4.b
Joystick hat control fixed
Flight model refinement by Pierre de Mouveaux
2 Wingmen accompany you on "fly" mission
Wingmen start out in proper formation


QUICK TIPS
"Q" or "q" at any time will exit the game.

When flying a mission and using mouse as control 
yoke, click on the RIGHT mouse button to pause
the game and get your mouse pointer back.

When the game first comes up, it is in "demo" mode.
F-86 SabreJets, F-51 Mustangs, F-84 ThunderJets are
engaged with North Korean MiG-15s and Yak-9s. The
demo switches viewpoint from plane to plane, giving
you a "God's-Eye" view of the action. You can 
select from several demos under the "demos" pull-down
menu.

To fly a mission yourself, select one from the
"flights" pull-down menu on the left.

SABREWIN.INI
This is an initialization file. By editing this file, you can
have SABRE come up in different-sized windows. The "screen_height"
and "screen_width" parameters can be edited as desired. Note that
the larger the window, the slower the game will run due to the
increased number of pixels which must be generated. You can also
change the size of the window while the game is running
by dragging on the lower right corner.
 
KEYS
This version contains new key combinations. Please refer to the help 
topic "Keys Reference" for a guide
