 Tactical Reference updated with additions coming with this release. In order to use the updated Tactical
Reference for IKAROS Theater, you MUST:

1. Copy the new TGA picture files (200) from:

<FalconBMS installation folder>\Data\Add-On Ikaros\Docs\TacRef\TACRDATA\
Paste these files to:
<FalconBMS installation folder>\Data\Art\TACRDATA\

2. Copy the new TacRefDB.bin file from:

<FalconBMS installation folder>\Data\Add-On Ikaros\Docs\TacRef\
Paste this file to:
<FalconBMS installation folder>\Data\Terrdata\

Overwrite original files - a copy of the original file is also provided within Docs

 Optional high-resolution textures for Airports:

From this Ikaros release and in future updates, there will be optional high-resolution textures for each updated
airport model. The textures are served in the form of ZIP files named after the ICAO name of each airport.
Inside each ZIP file there are 3 folders with DDS files divided in:
- Standard Resolution (2048 x 2048 pixels)
- High Resolution (4096 x 4096 pixels)
- Ultra-High Resolution (8192 x 8192 pixels)
These ZIP files can be downloaded from the following folder:
http://e-haf.org/Ikaros_Theater/Airports_Optional_Textures/
or http://downloads.uth.gr/Ikaros_Theater/Airports_Optional_Textures/

Each filename also denotes the current texture pack version, in case of future updates.
In order to use a chosen resolution pack, the corresponding DDS files must be placed inside the folder:
<FalconBMS installation folder>\Data\Add-On Ikaros\Terrdata\objects\KoreaObj\
Alternatively, they can be put inside the folder:
<FalconBMS installation folder>\Data\Add-On Ikaros\Terrdata\objects\KoreaObj_HiRes\
and check the parameter "High Resolution Textures" in Falcon BMS Config, under the "Hardware" folder.
NOTE: The default installation of Ikaros Theater includes only the Standard Resolution textures
(2048 x 2048 pixels)

 NOTAM - KNOWN ISSUES :

 THK F-16 POIV gives CTD when loading AWW-9 on CL, will be fixed in future by installing the new LV3 models
 Block 40 Vipers with WAR HUD do not have a pilot legs model, will be arranged in future
 GBU-50/B EP II currently is a proxy 3D model for the DB implementation, new proper 3D model will be ready
later
 DB multiplexing implemented but not included at this public release, since some extra fine-tuning is necessary
following the LV2 models updates to LV3
