IMPROVED HELICOPTERS FOR GUNSHIP 2000

	The helicopters in Gunship 2000 do not fly at the speeds given in the manual using the realistic flight model.  
The Apache suffers the most speed deficiency with the Kiowa actually flying quite a bit faster than it should.  The files included with this document will increase ( or decrease in the case of the Kiowa ) the speeds of the helicopters to the posted speeds.

	To update your helicopters, simply copy the 6 data files into the same directory as the Gunship program.  The new speeds ( without weapons ) are as follows:

Apache and Apache Longbow		    162 knots
Blackhawk						159-160 knots
Cobra						170-171 knots
Comanche Scout and Gunship		    174 knots
Defender						    125 knots
Kiowa						    125 knots

* Remember, speeds are affected by temperature and weapon 
  load.  A fully loaded helicopter will not fly nearly as
  fast as the above list.  Firing all weapons will yield
  the faster speeds above. 

	It is important to have these faster speeds since part of your score it rated by the time it took you to complete your mission.  I've found that these speeds ( which are more realistic ) can really improve the game!  Enjoy!
