HOW TO INSTALL THE UPDATE
=========================
Run the exe to apply the setup automatically.

MULTIPLAYER NOT COMPATIBLE WITH 1.00, 1.01 AND 1.02
===================================================

Due to some optimizations 1.05 is no longer compabitle in multiplayer with older versions and
users who installs 1.05 will not be able to play on servers with those older versions.

STANDALONE DEDICATED SERVER WIN32
=================================

Windows standalone dedicated server exe is included and installed together with this update.

See http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Armed_Assault:Dedicated_Server
for more information about the usage of the dedicated server.

Note that in order to update dedicated server to 1.05 you will also need to update all data that changed between version 1.00 and 1.05.

===How to use STOVL===
 Harrier (AV8B) can now perform Short takeoff and vertical landing (STOVL).
 It is controled with "Autohover ON/OFF" action.
 When activated, there is no such autopilot for slowdown that helicopters use.
 Thrust vector is just rotated downwards. Q/Z keys control only airplane speed.
 There are no keys for control over vertical thrust,
 so it is not possible to hover up/down like in helicopter.
 Takeoff procedure:
 - activate Autohover
 - extend full flaps (2x crtl+K)
 - gain some speed by holding Q for a short while and then release it.
 - once in the air, retract gear (crtl+G)
 - hold Q a little longer until you move fast enough
 - retract flaps as you build more speed (2x ctrl+L)
 - at aprox. 180kmph toggle autohover off and control flight as regular aircraft
 Landing procedure:
 - reduce speed and altitude same way as during conventional landing
 - extend full flaps (2x crtl+K), drop gear (crtl+G)
 - hold Z to reduce speed
 - at aprox 180 kmph activate Autohover
 - pitch nose up to reduce speed, check speed, height and flight path vector indicated on HUD
 - hold Z for descent at aprox 2.5 m/s
 - at touchdown toggle autohover off
