14 DAY TRIAL // ProSIM Company, maker of military-grade combat simulators and publisher Shrapnel Games, are making available a new patch for Air Assault Task Force, enabling gamers to do things they couldn't do before, as well as fixing some of the bugs. The patch can be downloaded now, being no larger than 5.3 MB, bringing the retail version of Air Assault Task Force to version 1.0.
Basically, here's what Air Assault Task Force Version 1.02 patch brings:
- When playing in a Windowed mode in XP, and after applying a OS related security update, users experienced a CTD when moving the cursor outside the window to the desktop, and then back. This has been fixed.
- Air Assault Task Force will now support literally ANY screen resolution that the user's hardware can support. Simply edit the "settings.txt" file in the install directory to the desired resolution.
- Various minor database tweaks. Some examples include a decreased Somali insurgent view range, adjusted lethality and vulnerability of attack helicoptrs, and aligned the values between Operation Anaconda and the rest of the game databases.
- Various scenario tweaks based on player input. LZ X-Ray 1 through 4 have ammunition and unit changes, Mogadishu 2 has a fixed scenario termination issue, and Operation Anaconda 1 through 4 have various victory condition, unit, and map changes.
- Thanks to Curt Pangracs, all operations orders are now included in a PDF format along with a link in the programs menu.
"With its highly sophisticated AI, Air Assault Task Force allows players to exercise as much control as they feel comfortable with, from company-level missions to "attack here" or "defend this" to micromanaging the activities of individual vehicles and teams. It is about the closest players can get to actual multi-echelon combined arms training without feeling the prop blast from a UH-60 Black Hawk helicopter and the smell of JP-4 aviation fuel wafting through the air... In conclusion, Air Assault Task Force is a great wargame. It looks good and plays well right out of the box," reported Bill Macon, in his review of Air Assault Task Force at the Wargamer.
