After the initial start-up screens are displayed, you will be presented with
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 Ctrl 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 "Multiplayer". At
the main airfield screen, the three planes at the top represent multiplayer
mode. The Solo hangar represents solo mode. Note that if you launched the Air
Warrior software through Compuserve and are connected to our service, you will
not be allowed to play Solo mode (off-line). If you have not launched the Air
Warrior program from Compuserve, and are not connected to our service, then you
cannot fly in multiplayer mode.
If you go into Multiplayer 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. Either action brings up
the Situation Map, centered in your country. Select an airfield by double
clicking on it. This will only work with airfields your country owns. Avoid
the airfields in yellow, as
they are damaged.
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.
For help at any time, anywhere in the Air Warrior program, just hit F1.
