iBeta Falcon 4.0 Realism Patch 2.1 (May 29, 2000)
======================================================

PLEASE READ FULLY!!

Thank you for using iBeta Falcon 4.0 Realism Patch (RP).  This README contains
important information about the installation of the RP.  Please take careful note,
as Falcon 4.0 will not work properly unless these steps are followed.

If you have previously installed an iBeta Realism patch (RP2 or RP2a), you can
simply run this RP2.1 installation program on top of your existing installation
of F4.  There is no need to de-install and reinstall Falcon 4.0.  If you are
installing RP2.1 for the first time, please read the instruction below.

-------------

You MUST install the iBeta F4 Realism Patch 2.1 on top of a fresh install
of Falcon 4.0 1.08us.  The following must be completed before running 
this patch:

1 - Uninstall any previously installed version of Falcon 4.0
2 - Install Falcon 4.0 from the CD 
3 - Install the Falcon 4.0 1.08us patch
4 - Run the iBeta F4 Realism Patch 2.1 installer

If you have not completed steps 1-3, please EXIT this patch installation
program NOW and perform steps 1-3.  After you have completed steps 1-3, then
you may execute this patch process again.

RP2.1 now uses the F4Patch utility by Joel Bierling.  This nifty little utility
allows the user to custom-select the EXE modification that they wish to apply.

For purpose of the iBeta Realism Patch, we have pre-selected and pre-installed
(those visiable on the RIGHT side of the F4Patch utility) a set of EXE mods for
your use.  The mods we have applied reflect the important and necessary mods
to allow the Realism Patch to work properly.  The patches that we have selected,
but have not installed (those on the LEFT side of F4Patch) represent those 
that we have tested, but need to remain optional to the end-user.

** Any addition or deletion of non-iBeta tested EXE mods will run the risk of the RP
not working correctly.  As new EXE mods are identified, we will strive to test/include
them as-necessary to future RP releases.

Your new iBeta Falcon 4.0 executable is called: iBeta_F4_RP2.exe
