[5] FLYIN' HIGH V1.05(bugfix/update patch) is available from the publisher. FLYIN' HIGH V1.05, indeed, is the latest AGA revision; V1.1 as printed on the patch update disk, included with most retail copies of the game, is presumably a misprint.
Features of the V1.05 patch include:
- Players can select the strength of their opponents.
- Players can choose between joystick-fire and joystick-up for acceleration.
- Control of the car has been improved.
- Some internal changes to allow use of FLYIN' HIGH DATA DISKS 1 & 2.
- Other minor improvements that aren't directly noticeable.
[6] FLYIN' HIGH V1.2(gfx card patch) is available on Aminet (dir: game/patch/FlyinHighPatch.lha) and from the publisher HERE. The game must be HD installed first and the included V1.05 AGA patch will be applied if necessary before the game is patched to V1.2 for gfx cards.

- FLYIN' HIGH(cheat) that allows users to play every level of the game (including FLYIN' HIGH DATA DISK 1) plus watch all the game animations and listen to the soundtracks via GUI (dir: game/patch/FlyinHighCheat.lha).
