New features in this version compared to the previous one(s) are:

* Proper StrongARM support, so it doesn't need the cache turned off while loading. The previous version had been patched to turn the cache off, but this new version now loads a lot quicker smile
* A bug fix in the graphics code to stop it from drawing off-screen and crashing the game. I'd encountered this bug many times myself, and no-one else seemed to know anything about it, so finally decided to do something about it wink

And all the stuff included with the previous version(s):

* A bundled utility to slow down the framerate on fast machines
* A keystrip file in draw, complete with the age-old 'Launch'/'In flight' mis-labelling
* Ship identification screenshots
* Robert Holdstock's 'Dark Wheel' novella
* The game manual
* A couple of utilities to allow you to play using the Falcon analogue joystick
* 'Gibson' and 'Jameson' savegames

Like the ship ID shots - nice smile The original package had ID cards IIRC but the freeware release didn't.
What are the unnamed ones?
