 RTF readme file!!!!!!  It says all campaigns from previous patches will 
no longer be any good, which means YOU CAN'T FLY YOUR OLD CAMPAIGNS!!!
I hate to yell (electronically speaking), but this kind of reactionary
"throw it away" knee jerk response is completely uncalled for.  The patch
works fine and the game is now more callenging than ever.  Your old ACMI
files won't work anymore either, so don't try 'em.  BTW, has anyone seen
an AMRAMM actually hit a plane in the new patch?  Maybe I'm just having
bad luck, but there was this one SU-27 this morning that I had dead to 
rights and the $$%@#!~$$ missile missed, and so did the second one.  On 
the C patch I had pilots with 40+ kills in a campaign on ace level, now 
I'm having a hard time getting five on trainee.  Guess it's time to get
out the old Modern Air Combat book and find a few new tricks...
