Patch 1.02.2 is up, and can be found here. This patch will work with all previous versions of Focus Pacific 1.01 Beta.
For a new install, first install the full mod, then the patch.

General Patton actually did most of the grunt work on the patch,
a big thank-you to him for his hard work.
Mad Man Rick contributed most of the updated air-art that comes with the patch.
I'm continuing to use
Skyland's assets for French units, in this case the sub-launched float plane new in this patch.

New Features
New Aircraft
New to 1.02.2 is the B-19 Raider heavy bomber. This very long range bomber is available to the allies in limited numbers starting in mid-42. Small replacement rates and high service rating are balanced by its impressive capabilities. The Navy also will field a patrol variant with reduced bomb load.
Also new to this patch is the MB 411 French float plane. This aircraft is used on the submarines Bouvier and Surcouf. Both now arrive with a 1 plane FP group embarked.
New Air Artwork
Ten French planes now sport their correct paint jobs instead of USN/USAAF colors. Thanks to Madman Rick for the artwork!
Aircraft Changes
-Free French SBC-4 Helldivers: I created a new aircraft for this version, and split the CW-77 to it's own airframe so that there is now a carrier capable and non carrier capable version. French carriers now will use the SBC-4 FF Helldiver instead of the CW-77.
-Skyrocket changes: New to this version is the F5F Skyrocket, a carrier capable version of the P-50 with reduced performance. Pools are low and it is phased out of service in the 1943 as the Hellcat comes online.
-The P-50 line has been tweaked a bit, with P-65 version appearing later.
-The French get a recon aircraft, the Breguet 694, which is an unarmed 697 with cameras. The French start the game with two of these squadrons, with a third arriving later.
-The Dutch receive a torpedo capable version of the DB-7B. These planes begin to arrive mid-42.
Balance Changes
The National Guard divisions have been removed from the US West Coast. Their inclusion made it too safe for the allied player to buy out all their AV on the West Coast.
Increased supply generation at Aden and Capetown to compensate for the emergency reinforcements that now start the game in those positions.
Moved up availability of Swordfish II and Avenger DBs for NZ and Australia.
Increased Victoria's shipyard capacity to 53,000 tons.
Changes Wickes class APDs to now carry 150 troops and 100 cargo.
Created a new static base force at Alameda.
The Wildcat V has been removed as a French Plane. This simplifies the French carrier fighter's upgrade path.
French P-63's are now classified as fighters rather than fighter bombers so more squadrons can potentially upgrade to these airframes.
Soviet 20mm ShVAK Cannons have had their effect tweaked upwards by 1. They are now a little less accurate but a little more powerful than the 20mm Hispano.
Bug Fixes
*Fixed various naming issues of LCUs and air units.
*Fixed the Bretagne and Dunkerque class so they no longer upgrade to use land AA guns.
*Fixed some squadron sizing issues.
*Added a port to Uel Kal that it should have had originally.
*Reduced the penetration of the French 138mm Naval Guns, they had been originally set much too high.
