I got the F3.0D patch from compuserve last week, and it appears to work
fine. 
It appears to fix mostly trivial things though, my main problems are 
with the mapping functions etc, and also my mouse doesn't work properly
with it ( the ONLY thing it doesn't work with ).
Anyhow, as far as I can see the principal difference is improving the
way the game handles ECM pods in a number of places. 
The most obvious of these are :
 a) Your ECM pod now doesn't make you invincible, just less susceptible
    to missiles
 b) Your wingman/men now use ECM properly, tho' how do you prove this??
    At least they don't go down (!!???) immediately on contact with the
    opposition
 c) The enemy uses ECM randomly, with the effect that it can be difficult
    to obtain/maintain missile lock or tracking at all.

I haven't really had chance to check it out thoroughly, but I know that
a list of fixes is included with it.

Also I have a SB and have had no problems, except for dodgy speaker.
