GENOVATION AND COLORADO SPECTRUM NOTEBOOK GAME PORT ADAPTORS:

	These new devices allow a joystick to be used with a notebook computer.
Genovation uses the parallel printer port, Colorado Spectrum uses a serial 
port.  To use either with the IFT-PRO you must specify the type of game port
in the "GENERAL SYSTEMS OPTIONS" portion of the configuration section.  The
choices are: "GENOVATION", "SPECTRUM", "STANDARD", and "NONE".

	"STANDARD" should be selected for any type of internal, IBM compatable
game port.










NEW ADF (Aircraft Description File) PARAMETER:  DIHEDRAL EFFECT.

	Some people have commented that the simulated aircraft does not have 
enough of a tendency to roll out of a bank during a turn.  We have addressed
this matter by including a new parameter called Dihedral Effect.  Increasing
this value will increase the speed with which the aircraft will return to 
wings level.  A value of zero will result in the aircraft remaining in what-
ever bank it is in.  Dihedral Effect only works when HANDLING is set to REAL
or EXACT.  It is ignored if HANDLING is set to EASY.
