Ubisoft has released a new "Pacific Fighters" patch, bringing the WWII flight combat simulation game from 2004 up to version 4.04. Here are the patch instructions and changelist:
"
For your convenience, we have introduced different version numbers for
the stand-alone installation and the merged (FB+AEP+PF) one.
4.04 – for stand alone PF
4.04m – for merged (FB+AEP+PF)
Attention: versions 4.04 and 4.04m are not compatible with each other when playing over the network (Online).
The 4.04 update installs only over 4.03 or 4.03 (PF stand alone).
The 4.04m update installs only over 4.03 or 4.03 (FB+AEP+PF merged)."

Additional Notes:
If you have a computer with a Pentium 4 processor, you may occasionally
encounter game lock-ups or crashes to desktop. In order to solve that,
copy your il2_core.dll into the il2_corep4.dll (for example, with the
following command: "copy il2_core.dll il2_corep4.dll"; or, in Windows
Explorer, navigate to your sim installation directory, delete the
existing il2_corep4.dll, make a copy of the il2_core.dll, and rename
the copy to il2_corep4.dll)
The incremental and merged patches are available to download at
3dgamers,
FileFront (
merged),
FileShack (
merged),
VGPro (
merged), or
