Welcome to the skies of Air Warrior!

Last Updated: 5/23/96


This is the Readme file for the Minimum version of Air Warrior.

To install it, go into File Manager, then double click on SETUP.EXE.  Within the
SETUP program, accept the default installation directory or type the
directory that you want Air Warrior installed into.

Next, choose or create the "Program Group" for the Air Warrior icons.

Once the installation is complete, either run Air Warrior by clicking on the Air
Warrior icon (single-player mode), or by executing Air Warrior from Fly Now
button on CompuServe (multi-player mode).

After installing this version you will have everything needed to run Air
Warrior. To practice offline (single-player mode), execute Air Warrior
from the icon created by the Setup program. To play online (multi-player mode),
launch Air Warrior from the "Fly Now" button in the Air Warrior area on CIS.

NOTE FOR WINDOWS 95 USERS:
At this time, you cannot use the CompuServe Dialer which comes with WinCIM 2.0
as your connection method for Air Warrior. Instead, you will need to use the
Microsoft Dialer from the Plus! Pack to establish your PPP connection.
Instructions for setting up the Microsoft Dialer for use with CIS are included
at the end of this file.

 Minimum Requirements:
 =====================
 - An IBM compatible 486-66 computer (Pentium is recommended)
 - 8MB of RAM (12MB recommended)
 - A hard disk drive with approximately 16 megabytes free.
 - A 1MB local bus video card and monitor capable of 640x480 resolution and 256
   colors.
 - Either a mouse or joystick (we recommend both).
 - Windows 3.1 or later
 - WinCIM 2.0 or later (with the Winsock option enabled)

 Air Warrior Installation (if you have not already installed Air Warrior):
 =========================================================================
 If your operating system is Windows 3.1 (or WFW 3.11), you will need to install
both WinG and Win32s to run Air Warrior (WinG and Win32s are provided as
separate archives). If your operating system is Windows 95, you will only need
to install WinG.  To install Win32s, go into the \WIN32S\DISK1 subdirectory, and
double click on SETUP.EXE.  To install WinG, go into the \WING\ directory and
double click on SETUP.EXE.

Joystick Installation Notes:
 ============================
 Although Air Warrior (r) may be executed with only a mouse, a joystick is
recommended to fly Air Warrior (r). However, the installation program does *not*
install the joystick driver.

For Windows 95, you need the VJOYD driver, which is distributed with Windows 95
(please consult your Windows 95 manual for installation notes). Even though you
may calibrate it in the Windows 95 Control Panel, you still need to calibrate it
within Air Warrior (Setup->Controls).

For Windows 3.1 and WFW 3.11, you need the IBMJOY.DRV file which may be found in
the IBMJOY.ZIP archive. This archive exists in the following locations:

1) CompuServe
 WINSHARE/General Win Utils
 WINMM/MDK
 PWOFORUM/Win 16bit Apps/Util
 PCDUK/Windows Apps

2) http://proper.com:70/1/vff/pc/general/win-misc

3) http://www.csusm.edu/cwis/winworld/sdl.html

4) http://www.jumbo.com/home/win/misc

The procedure for installation and setup of IBMJOY is as follows:

 - Start the Drivers applet from the control panel. Click the Add button.
 - On the Add Driver dialog, select 'Unlisted or updated driver', and click OK.
 - On the OEM Driver dialog, enter the driver directory path (i.e. "C:\IBMJOY\",
   where C: is your hard drive), and click OK.
 - In the list of OEM drivers dialog, select 'Driver for Joystick', and click
   OK.
 - In the Game Adapter Setup dialog, select 'One or two 2-Dimensional
   joysticks', and click OK.
 - Exit Windows and reboot.

 Helpful Hints:
 ==============
 - The first time you run Air Warrior, you will be presented with the "Guide"
which will help guide you through the game. Tooltips will be visible as well
(see below). To turn either feature off, press the right mouse button, which
will present a set of menu options for turning off these features.

 - After the initial startup screens are displayed, you will be presented with a
main airfield screen. If you move you mouse around slowly, you will get
"tooltips" which indicate the hotspots you may press to get
you into the game. Hitting the control key will show you all the tooltips on any
screen. You may disable these "tooltips" in the future by going into SETUP->User
Preferences.

 - You should first go into SETUP and configure your controls. This is done by
clicking on the SETUP hangar and then clicking on the mechanic's clipboard. To
check to see that your sound card is working with the program, click on the
loudspeaker on the upper right-hand side of the setup hangar. Here you can set
the volume and test it.

 - After configuring your controls, you may either fly "Solo" or "Multi-Player".
At the main airfield screen, the three planes at the top represent multi-player
mode. The Solo hangar represents solo mode. Note that if you came through the
Web and are connected to our service, you will not be allowed to play Solo mode
(off-line).

 - If you go into Multi-Player mode, you first must choose an arena. This will
take you to an Officers Club (OC). Once in the Officers Club, you can talk to
other players, go to Headquarters (HQ), etc. To fly, you have to select an
airfield. You can do this either by clicking on the Spitfire at the OC, or the
map on the table in HQ. Selecting an airfield takes you to its Ready Room. Here
you can click on the aircraft ID silhouette on the wall to select a plane. To
fly it, click on the Airfield door on the left-hand side of the ready room.

 - Once in the cockpit, hit "8" to start your engines, upper case "C" to
throttle up, and off you go! To raise your landing gear, hit the semicolon key.
To engage war emergency power, hit the 7 key. To return to full military power,
hit the 7 key again. To throttle back, hit the v key, and to apply wheel brakes
hit your spacebar. To fire your guns, use either the "F" key, or button 1 on
your joystick.

On-line Manuals:
 ===============
 This CD does *not* include Air Warrior manuals. The manuals may be downloaded
separately from CompuServe.  This version does, however, include a comprehensive
on-line help file.  Just hit F1 anywhere in the Air Warrior interface to bring
it up.

USING THE MICROSOFT DIALER

You cannot, at the moment, use the CompuServe Dialer under Windows 95 to access
Air Warrior. You will need to use the Dial-up Networking Tool from the Microsoft
Plus! pack.

Internet Setup for CIS and Windows 95 Dialer

A: First, make sure that the Internet applications have been installed from the
   Windows 95 Plus Pack.

1) Open the CONTROL PANEL and double click the INTERNET icon

2) Click on the NEW CONNECTION button. If the NEW CONNECTION button is grayed
   out,
 make sure that the "Use AutoDial" checkbox is CHECKED.

3) In the space provided enter a new name for the connection (ie:CISPPP).

4) Select the modem, then click NEXT.

5) Enter the local CompuServe access phone number, then click the NEXT button.

6) Click FINISH.

7) Next, click the PROPERTIES button.

8) Click the SERVER TYPE button and ensure the following are entered:
 Type of Dial-UpServer: "PPP: Windows 95, WindowsNT 3.5, Internet"
 Log on to network=UNCHECKED
 Enable software compression=CHECKED
 Require encrypted password=CHECKED
 NetBeui=UNCHECKED
 IPX/SPX Compatible=UNCHECKED
 TCP/IP=CHECKED

9) Click on TCP/IP Settings and set the following:
 Server assigned IP address=SELECTED
 Specify name server address=SELECTED
 Primary DNS=149.174.211.5
 Secondary DNS=149.174.213.5
 Primary WINS=0.0.0.0
 Secondary WINS=0.0.0.0
 Use IP header compression=CHECKED
 Use Default gateway on remote network=CHECKED

10) Click OK then OK and OK again. That's O.K. three (3) times.

Now you need to configure a script, so the dialer knows how to connect to
CompuServe.

11) Start "Dial-Up Scripting Tool"
 a. Click the START button or (CTRL-ESC)
 b. PROGRAMS (Folder)
 c. ACCESSORIES (Folder)
 d. DIAL-UP SCRIPTING TOOL. (Application)

12) Select CISPPP (Or what ever you named the dial up object)

13) Click on BROWSE.

14) Browse to My Computer\Hard Drive\Program Files\Accessories.

15) You should see a file named CIS.SCP Select it. Click Open. If you do not
 see the file CIS.SCP, go to the section below on MANUALLY EDITING THE CIS.SCP
FILE.

16) Ensure the following are set:
 Step through script=UNCHECKED.
 (This is the equivalent to a manual login. Use for trouble-shooting.)
 Start terminal screen minimized=CHECKED

17) Click APPLY. Click CLOSE.

[Now you need to configure WinCIM to access the Microsoft Dialer correctly.]

Configuring WinCIM for the Windows 95 Dialup Adapter

1) Start the Windows 95 dialup adapter and connect it to CompuServe (see the
   instructions on setting up a dialup script).
2) Open WinCIM and select Session Settings from the Special menu.
3) Set the Network to Internet.
4) Set the Dial Type to Direct.
5) Make sure that the Use Winsock button is checked.
6) Click the Configure button next to the Use Winsock checkbox.
7) In the Winsock Settings dialog, change the Connect Timeout to 60 and click
   OK.
8) Click the More button.
9) In the More Session Settings dialog, change the HMI Time Out to 90 and click
   OK.
10) Click OK.
11) You may now use WinCIM normally, and it will seek out an Internet connection

on your computer. (If one is already running, it will use that, if not, it will

start the dialup adapter) =================

MANUALLY EDITING THE CIS.SCP FILE

If you do not have the file CIS.SCP open up the Start "Dial-Up
Scripting Tool"
 a. Click the START button or (CTRL-ESC)
 b. PROGRAMS (Folder)
 c. ACCESSORIES (Folder)
 d. DIAL-UP SCRIPTING TOOL. (Application)

1) Select the CISPPP connection. In the CONNECTIONS window.

2) In the FILE NAME field enter C:\Program Files\Accessories\CIS.SCP

3) Click the edit button and select Create New File.

4) Cut and paste the script at the bottom of this file into the
 notepad. Then save.

5) Exit out of notepad.

You should be ready to go. Open up the Dial Up Networking folder and
double click the CISPPP icon. You are ready to go.  Once the connection is made,
launch WinCim and go to the Air Warrior area (go airwar) on CompuServe.
