This toolkit has been created to simplify the process of making the Hell's Angels Superpatch (HASP) for Red Baron 3D (RB3D) compatible with Multiplayer (MMP) mode. 

The toolkit consists of two DOS batch files: HA_MMP.bat and COCKPIT.BAT

HA_MMP.BAT moves the flight model and aircraft spec files from the Simpatch to the 
Shellpat folder, so that they only apply in Single Player (SP) mode. It also moves the files that contain the extra MG and AA positions ('LO*.dat'), as well as the *damage*.dat and wing*.dat files. This is mandatory for MMP compatibility.

COCKPIT.BAT moves the Hell's Angels custom cockpit files from the Simpatch to the shellpat folder, so that they only apply in Single Player (SP) mode. 
This is optional, and intended for those players (like me) who feel that the realistic but minimal instrumentation on the custom panels in HASP is a disadvantage in MMP.

I hope you'll find this toolkit useful.

I am very grateful to Otto von Stachel for creating the Hell's Angels Superpatch in the first place, and for sharing information about which files that are incompatible with MMP.



Installation instructions:

B) Installation with Von Tom's Campaign Manager (CM):
----------------------------------------------------

2. Install HASP to a temporary folder, e.g. "c:\temp\hasp".

3. Install the latest HASP service pack (at the time of writing, this is SP3a)
to the same temporary folder.
