REFERENCE:                            PINBALL AIRBORNE V1.4 SOFTWARE UPDATE

                                                           

DEAR DISTRIBUTOR,

ENCLOSED YOU WILL FIND VERSION 1.4 CPU SOFTWARE UPDATE FOR AIRBORNE.  PLEASE REPLACE U1H AND UIL EPROMS ON THE CPU PCB WITH THE NEW VERSION EPROMS INCLUDED.

THE FOLLOWING IS A LIST OF CHANGES IMPLEMENTED WITH VERSION 1.4 SOFTWARE:

* THE UP/DOWN RAMP OPTO WILL NOW REMAIN ACTIVE AFTER GAME OVER.  THIS WILL                                                            

  ALLOW THE GAME TO CLEAR ANY BALLS THAT MAY BE UNDER THE RAMP WITHOUT

  HAVING TO WAIT FOR BALL SEARCH.

* ADDED LANGUAGE TRANSLATIONS FOR GERMAN, DUTCH, FRENCH, AND SPANISH.

* THE UP/DOWN RAMP 1 SECOND ACTIVATION DELAY HAS BEEN REMOVED.  WHEN A BALL IS

  READ BY THE RAMP OPTO IT WILL IMMEDIATELY RAISE.

* THE LEFT RAMP JACKPOT LAMP IS NO LONGER BLINKED WHEN MULTIPLE RAMP SHOTS

  ARE BEING MADE.

* THE INITIAL HIGH SCORE TO DATE TABLE AND REPLAY LEVEL SCORES ARE

  AUTOMATICALLY INCREASED WHEN THE GAME IS CHANGED FROM A 3 BALL GAME TO A

  5 BALL GAME.

* OUTLANE GATE DIVERTER COIL CONTROL ADJUSTED FOR COOLER OPERATION.

* REPLAY SCORE FACTORY DEFAULT SETTING HAS BEEN LOWERED FROM 100 MILLION TO               

  75 MILLION.

* PERFORMING A FACTORY RESET NOW SETS VOLUME LEVEL TO 8.

* REPLAY BUMP FACTORY DEFAULT SETTING LOWERED FROM 10 MILLION TO 1 MILLION.

* REPLAY MINIMUM FACTORY DEFAULT SETTING LOWERED FROM 60 MILLION TO 1 MILLION.

NOTE: THE CHANGE TO THE DEFAULT SETTINGS FOR REPLAY BUMP AND REPLAY MINIMUM WILL ALLOW FOR AN EVEN MORE ACCURATE CALCULATION OF THE SUGGESTED REPLAY LEVEL.
