Incompatibility
===============

Probably with any mod that changes the Abandoned Cave, possible Chargen mod conflicts (since the quest starts like the official DLCs made by Bethesda, at the end of the Chargen quest).


Known Issues or Bugs
====================

- I could not get rid of the annoying Sleep/Wait menu which pops up after activating second time (and so on) the wheel. By the way it has absolutely no meaning and yet it is still lurking there...
- If you get the "Can't turn anymore in that direction" or "Airship stopped" messages but it looks like the ship could move further in that direction try diving/climbing a bit. This should help.
- I could not get rid of the green magic effect after sitting down in the chair to control the ship. I know what causes it, how to (?) disable it, but it simply won't go away.
- I had to change the appearence and the race of the dwemer immortal because unfortunately I broke the quest when I was working on the lip files. I tried every other option and this was the only one which is acceptable. I worked on this mod for many nights and I don't want to start from the beginning.
- I had to remove the repair functionality from the dwemer immortal. :( But he can follow and help you in combat. :)

Changes from previous versions
==============================

03.10.2010. - version 2.1
- Corrected the bug which sometimes caused serious damage to player without falling down from the ship after getting up from the chair (I hope :)
- After calling the ship and adjusting its altitude the fast travel function didn't work. Corrected with an instant teleport to the skyship. After that fast travel will work too.
- Successfully implemented the missing menu item into Remote Control's main menu. Call Fire Support now works from there too. :)
- The ship will not stuck if it hits something big (i.e. the Valus-mountains) without high enough speed to crash
- Minor improvements to the Passenger Deck

03.07.2010. - version 2
- Fixed 4 activators which should have been static objects
- Added a periscope to the bridge
- Combined with Zolo 2006's "Dwemer Skyship Flying" plugin, bugfixed, optimized scripts (as far as I could done it) so the player can really fly the skyship
- Minor improvements to the tapestries using Franc Kaos' "Paintings and Tapestries" mod
- Ingredients sorter changed to COBL's (mesh came from there anyway) You should recover all ingredients from those cupboards before upgrading to prevent item loss!
- Cannon deck upgraded :)
- Recorded missing audio file, added missing .lip files to the quest giver NPC (I almost had to reinstall Oblivion after that)
- Followers can be transported to and from the skyship using the appropriate spells, added a Passenger Deck
- Changed the Skyship Ring to Skyship Remote, added more functionality
- Corrected some typos
