This mod is a small and simple graphic and sound improvement, featuring a freshly drawn cockpit panel for the aircraft, new RWR type sprites for the tactical MFD screen, as well as a new original title screen, credits screen and a one-game advert screen. The latter is meant as a proper homage to Red Storm Rising, which was released around the same time. And I feel the small reference in the original screen was not enough. I was never satisfied with the original cockpit art in F-19 Stealth Fighter, and found it inferior even to that of Project Stealth Fighter’s on C64. The scale of the surrounding cockpit art compared to the players viewpoint close to the MFDs and HUD, is just very wrong. Also, the original cartoon-like symbols on the tactical MFD were also a bit immersion-breaking. I added instead some F/A-18C RWR radar symbols. Now you won’t see the direction an enemy aircraft is going, nor the coloring indicating his altitude. Only that he is out there. Unfortunately there are no discerning between friendly and enemy aircraft contacts in-game, I cannot do much with that. Anyway, this change should make the simulation a bit harder and unpredictable.

Soundwise I have only removed the low-altitude beeper that goes off constantly when you are trying to fly low and slow (as the doctrine is for the F-19). You will have to pay proper attention to the altimeter here. This only works for the Roland driver though. This mod would never have been possible without generous help from the brilliant programmer CanadianAvenger, who has dedicated his efforts to decode the mysterious PIC format that MicroProse used for images at the time, and its various iterations. I am very thankful to him, and I urge you to read his excellent blog here: https://canadianavenger.io
