===================================
INSTALL NOTES:
==============
This patch will update your Version 1.2 PMDG 737 to Version 1.3.
THIS PATCH IS ONLY NEEDED IF YOU DOWNLOADED YOUR PMDG 737 PRIOR TO 14JAN04.
If you have redownloaded and/or purchased your PMDG 737 after 17JAN04, you downloaded a complete Version 1.3 and do not need to install this patch.
If you are not certain which version of PMDG 737 you are running, open /AIRCRAFT/PMDG737-600/AIRCRAFT.CFG. The version number is displayed at the top of this file.
This installer will not modify any files that conflict with installed liveries.
This installer replaces the *.air files for all PMDG 737s, and updates some gauge files contained in FS/GAUGES.
If you have made modifications to any of these files, this installer will declare an error and fail. If this is the case, you will need to reinstall the Version 1.2 airplane anew before patching.
If you are running this software on a non-WinXP computer, please follow the VERY IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS at the conclusion of the installation. Failure to follow those instructions will result in a failed installation and inoperable 737!
FUTURE UPDATES:

PMDG Continues to develop new and advanced technologies for flight simulation. Occasionally we make additions, update functionality, update manuals or publish information related to know aircraft problems.
All of this information is available at the PMDG 737 Operators Information Center located under SUPPORT at

SERVICE UPDATE: Brings 737 to Version 1.3 from Version 1.2
===============
This service update is a very small patch that is available for download from PMDG.
This patch modifies some key sub programs operating within the PMDG 737 in order to eliminate some lock-up and Crash-to-Desktop problems that were identified in Version 1.2 after release. The version also improves the key-mapping process to make it more compatible with FS9.
The following changes were made for Version 1.3:
- Added an option in Styles menu for "Sounds allowed in External and VC View"
(use this option to select your preference of sound modeling in VC view)
- Fixed a bug with the EFIS keyboard handler whereby ND Mode and ND Range were not settable all the time
- Fixed the position of the failed ALT box in the PFD
- Corrected a true/magnetic problem with winds, so FMC winds should be ok
- bearing distance with decimal distance resulted in blank SELECT DESIRED WPT page
- DIRECT keyword now ignored in procedures
- transitions and approaches etc. can have keywords (such as ALT) in their name
- Corrects a bug in the flight model that would pass bogus information to FS9 under circumstances where
extreme flight control settings were input and maintained.
- Corrects a bug that caused a crash if the user pressed FLY NOW before the navdata had been initialized.
- Implemented a warning message for FSUIPC users who select "Inverse Elevator Trim Sense" to ON. (DON'T!)
