š Digits 1 and 3 at the end of cockpit file names are correspondingly for 640x480 and 1024x768 res

š Download wb277r3min.exe (It's minimum installation package) or wb277r3full.exe (that includes all original planes' cockpits for 640x480). Or, if you have wb276 installed, you can download update only: wb277r3upd.exe.

š You don't need to download iEN launcher. Instead of this, download current version of FHLauncher (FHLInstall*). Using this program you can connect to FH.

š Install wb277r3min.exe (or wb277r3full.exe or wb277r3upd.exe).

š Unpack and install FHLauncher.

š Now to play online on FH or practice offline with all new planes execute "Gošonline" or "Practicešoffline" in menu "Start/Programs/FreeHostšLauncher".

š Download and install (or unzip in wb directory) terrain maps:
Currently FreeHost uses by turns 3 terrains: wbmedrl2.trn, wbawt3.trn and wbmed3.trn. wbmedrl2.trn and wbawt3.trn should come with wb installation (you can check them in your wb directory).

š Download and install (or unzip in wb cockpits directory) cockpits:
If you use 640x480, then you can install wb277full, and you will get all original cockpits and you will only need to download cockpits for new planes: la51.zip, yak11.zip, pe21.zip, he1771.zip, ...
If you use 1024x768, then you'd better install wb277min. After this download and install wbart3support.exe (in order to get 1024x768 cockpit support). Then original cockpits you can get on ftp server:
ftp://lists.ient.com/pub/WarBirds/art/win95/art1024
And you will also need cockpits for new planes: la53.zip, yak13.zip, pe23.zip, he1773.zip, ...

š In order to play on FH you don't need to register, just choose an account name and password then type a nick if it is available you'll get in the game. If it says that your password is incorrect then this account is probably already used.

š If you are running Windows 2000 and want to be able to play in 3D you will probably need to remove a tick from "Display properties->Effects->Use transition effects for menus and tooltips", otherwise wb may crash when you change the plane.

š If your FHLauncher freezes while connecting to FreeHost or you get "Can't resolve IP address of arena" message, save "hosts" file (right click) in your Windows folder (!)

š When using Windows XP SP1 FHLauncher shows Error 6, when you connect to arena. In order to counter this you should tick Win98 compatibility in the shortcut
