Flight One Software Pearl Harbor: Aircraft, Campaign, and Mission Fixes v2.0
Overview
The files included in this ZIP archive fixes various show-stopping bugs in Flight One Software's "December 7th, 1941! Pearl Harbor" add-on for Combat Flight Simulator 2 (with Flight One Software's "Upgrade Patch 1", and "Battle For Hawaii" freeware campaign mission expansion installed).
Details of these bugs and problems can be found in the following forum message threads on the Internet:

Fixed Bugs and Problems
The bugs and problems that were fixed in the add-on pack are:
* The PBY-5A Catalina AI controlled aircraft would crash into the water at the end of some of the USN campaigns and missions, resulting in a mission failure (the PBY-5A Catalina needs to successfully LAND at the airfield to complete the mission). Note that SOME of this fix was to substitute the aircraft's "F1_PH_PBY.air" file with the default "Ki43iib_Oscar.air" file that is included with Combat Flight Simulator 2 (which allows the AI to control and to land the PBY-5A Catalina much easier, and more successfully).
* Destroying the PBY-5A Catalina AI controlled aircraft in some of the IJN campaigns and missions would result in a mission failure (the PBY-5A Catalina needs to be DESTROYED to successfully complete the mission). Also, transmitting the secret position of the IJN fleet by the PBY-5A Catalina AI controlled aircraft was counted as a GOAL to complete the mission (the PBY-5A Catalina needs to be DESTROYED, and NOT be given the opportunity to radio the position of the IJN fleet to the USN).
* Some of the the "payload=#" entries contained in some of the USN campaigns and missions were incorrect, and would cause Combat Flight Simulator 2 to lock up and crash (the "payload=1" entries that were causing the problem SHOULD be "payload=0").
* Autopilot functionality has been added to the player's "Flight 1 Pearl Harbor P40" aircraft. Note that there have been NO new controls added to the aircraft's instrument panel to control the autopilot, only the ABILITY to use keyboard commands to control the aircraft's autopilot has been added.
* Lastly, the player's "Flight 1 Pearl Harbor P40" aircraft's instrument panel has been fixed to prevent program crashes when Combat Flight Simulator 2 is run under Windows 7 (or higher).
Note that these fixes are not a one-hundred percent solution to the problems with the "December 7th, 1941! Pearl Harbor" add-on, but for the most part, the campaigns and missions are NOW finally playable and winable!
Installation
