UQMG FB+AEP+PF UPGRADE 5.0.43 - W98/ME, Net Iwo Jima Map

Dear UQMG users from the IL-2 FB/PF Community,

(Download and Installation Instructions in the bottom of this post.)

I am extremely excited to announce the immediate availability of the new upgrade for UQMG for FB+AEP+PF. It is free, of course, and will bring your UQMG to version 5.0.43. All in all, IL-2 FB+AEP+PF will bring you now more enjoyment than ever with the new features in UQMG.

This is an upgrade for UQMG for FB+AEP+PF (versions 5.x.x and higher). This upgrades fixes some problems with the original installation. The major features are listed below:

MAJOR FIXES:
* Limited support for Win 98/ME machines enabling all features except Ground Objects Editor (GOE). UQMG is only 100% compatible with XP PCs with enough RAM resources. This varies from machine to machine and how much memory is available.
* Fixed "Cannot Create Directories" error with more code that fixes the problem within UQMG without need for user intervention.
* Fixed bug that did not load Fuel quantities correctly when starting UQMG

UPDATES:
* Tutorial Updates
* Added Web link to UQMG Support Forum at AirWarfare.com in Help menu.

NEW MAPS
* Net Iwo Jima, with 4 sample "uqmg" mission data files
+ This map includes lots of scenery, including smoke and fires, plus the ability to conduct carrier ops. I'll post later some screenshots of this map, and you will be convinced that this small download (490K) is worth your time.

The upgrade includes a new map: Iwo Jima Online, or Net Iwo Jima. Here is the basis for this map:

Description: This Iwo Jima Online map template is loosely based on the final stages of the battle for Iwo Jima. It is D+16 (D-Day = 19 Feb 1945), Mount Suribachi is taken, Airfield 1 is fully operational, with damaged B-29s landing after bombing Japan. P-51s have arrived. US Forces press north and continue on some of the bloodiest fighting ever. It was time to face the forces under personal command of Baron Nishi and the infamous LtGen Tadamichi Kuribayashi, who must have been Japan's greatest military commander along with Admiral Yamamoto. Marine LtGen Holland Smith called Kuribayashi "Our most redoubtable adversary."

Because the map area is so small, Red Flight groups 3+4 take off from test runways from the sea "simulating" land base aircraft reaching Japan and returning to Iwo Jima. All Japanese Flight Groups take off from test runways, "simulating" land based aircraft reaching Iwo Jima. Carrier operations is also available. There is plenty of scenery, ground, and naval targets. If you fly over Mount Suribachi, you will see an American Flag there...

Screenshots for this map were posted both at SimHQ and UbiSoft Forums:
