The Sukhoi Su-27 Flanker
To Install the program, run INSTALL.EXE.
To play the Su-27 Flanker demo, run SU27.EXE.
The program will start as a self-running demonstration of a mission that
has already been recorded. You can either watch the entire mission as
recorded or you can enter the cockpit at anytime and take control. If
you choose to fly the mission yourself, be aware that for this demo you
will only have about 10 minutes of fuel. Of course the commercial
release of this product will provide the user with more fuel for
missions. If your aircraft should be destroyed the demo will continue
to run allowing you to view the other aircraft as they fly their
missions.
If you press the Esc key while the demo is in progress, a message will
appear asking you to press:
Esc - to resume the demo
C - to continue flying and fighting on your own
X - to bail out
You can also switch views while the demo is playing the recorded mission
using the view command keys listed in the CONTROLS.TXT file. Once you
have used the view keys the recorded views will no longer take place and
the demo will be seen from whatever view you select.
When an aircraft, ground target, or missile explodes while you are
using an external view, the simulation will zoom out to give the
explosion more perspective. You will need to zoom back to view aircraft
and other objects in more detail following one of these automatic zooms.
You can control the zoom for external views by using the * key on the
keypad to zoom in and the / key on the keypad to zoom out.
To quit the demo at anytime use ALT+Q. To pause the demo hit the S key.
This demo automatically initializes the joystick, if any. However, only
two buttons will be enabled on the joystick, regardless of its type.
These are the trigger (fire button) and the weapons selection button
(the top button), if any. While this simulation can be flown using
only the keyboard, a joystick is highly recommended.
You may or may not hear sound effects with this demo. The sound drivers
used are limited in this early demo version and may not work properly with
some soundcards or soundcard settings. The default for this simulation is
Soundblaster 16 or AWE set to 220, 5, 1.
See also the file CONTROLS.TXT for additional keyboard controls.
The file SU27.ADV is included to be used with the Thrustmaster Weapons
Control System Mark II.
