ProSIM Unleashes Another Patch Barrage!
Two More Updates Released!
Published on
Hampstead, NC, 12 April 2006
Hot on the heels of updating Raging Tiger: The Second Korean
War, and The Star and the Crescent, comes two more patches
from ProSIM Company and publisher Shrapnel Games available
for download. Brand new updates are now ready for both ATF:
Armored Task Force and The Falklands War: 1982.
The ATF: Armored Task Force patch brings the game up to
version 1.07 and includes the following two
modifications:
- Regardless of display size, oversized obstacles are now
rendered correctly. On some smaller displays a bug would
prevent some oversized obstacles from displaying properly
when the obstacle was drawn with a near vertical long axis.
This has now been corrected. (General fix to the ATF
engine).
- Sometimes in a remote situation the direct fire
ammunition carrier uploads did not work. This is now
corrected. (General fix to the ATF engine).
The Falklands War: 1982 patch, which incorporates the general ATF engine fixes mentioned above, brings the game up to version 1.23. The following changes are included with this patch:
- Regardless of display size, oversized obstacles are now
rendered correctly. On some smaller displays a bug would
prevent some oversized obstacles from displaying properly
when the obstacle was drawn with a near vertical long axis.
This has now been corrected. (General fix to the ATF
engine).
- Sometimes in a remote situation the direct fire
ammunition carrier uploads did not work. This is now
corrected. (General fix to the ATF engine).
- Upgraded maps now make it easier for users to
differentiate between the units and the background, along
with a general overall enhancement to gameplay.
- Indirect fire systems have been altered to better reflect
their historical results on the battlefield. Argentinean
artillery was less effective than their British counterparts
because they did not use airburst fuses, but rather directly
hit the soft peat of the Falklands.

ATF: Armored Task Force is not only a superb modern combat simulation, but also the powerhouse sim engine that is used by The Falklands War: 1982 (along with Raging Tiger: The Second Korean War and The Star and the Crescent). Currently ProSIM Company is working on their next simulation engine, the first game of which will be Air Assault Task Force. Air Assault Task Force will cover a spectrum of airmobile operations, from Vietnam up to the current War on Terror.
