                  README - Gela Missions

   These are the first true missions I have created for the Malta 
terrain map. "Defending Gela" is an Axis mission with "Strike at Gela"
being the Allied version of the same mission.
   First, note the Malta terrain map is currently under development at 
the time of this file's creation. The version used to create these 
mission files is C2. Unknown at this time if these mission files will
work with later versions of the Malta terrain map and cannot guarantee
they will. Flak is one of the problems to be solved at this time so you
can do the following: 
   I suggest you go into gaming options and set flak to the lowest
setting due to the flak issue at the time of this file's creation. 
This will reduce the flak interferring with the mission due to it going
off when it shouldn't ( At the wrong places ). Don't know at the time
this file is written if the flak issue can actually be solved, but this
seems to work around it fairly well as tested.
   You MUST use the Malta terrain map to fly these missions, they will
not work with any other map including the original Jane's map. No other
mods are needed to fly them. They should work with other mods but it is
possible certain mods may not be compatable with the map itself. If the 
file loads with other mods installed in your sim files, they should
work fine. 
*NOTE*: You must run your display with 256 colors for the Malta terrain
map to show correctly in the sim. Gameplay is not affected, only the 
briefing maps and Mission Builder map needs this setting. XP users can
Right-click the Jane's desktop icon and set the preference for 256
colors there. All others to my knowlege must set the video in their
display properties to 256 colors. 
   Let's show our appreciation to Michele Palermo for this great
mod. All due credit is acknoweged to Michele for the creation of the
terrain itself and 637 Falcon's help in it's development is recognized
as well.
