-
- Calibrate your joystick before you play the game. If your joystick is not
- perfectly calibrated, the sim will most surely fly erratically. As far as i
- know, all joysticks when purchased come with some kind of calibration
- program.
-
- After calibrating the joystick, start the game and run the
- joystick calibration option in the game. (Press the ESCAPE key, pick
- CONTROLS, then JOYSTICK, then CALIBRATE, then follow the instructions)
- After running the calibration option, press the ESCAPE key, then pick
- "SAVE AS DEFAULT" then press enter. Once this is done you don't have to
- worry about calibrating the joystick anymore.
-
- When you first take off the runway, wait till you get up to 135 MPH before
- you lift off. Once your off the ground, steer the plane gently (especially
- while your still under 200 MPH) because if you steer the plane too sharply,
- the game will simulate that you lost control of the aircraft and you'll
- crash! Once you get past 250 MPH you can safely steer the plane as hard as
- you'd like without fear of losing control.
-
- If you crash the plane, you will start back at the beginning of the game.
- The only difference is that all the objects that you destroyed prior to
- crashing will still be destroyed. You'll just have to fly back to the area
- where you crashed to continue (or you can disobey orders and fly around and
- blow things up at random).
-
- You can press the ENTER key to alternate between your weapons.
- (The BACKSPACE key and the ENTER key perform the same functions)
-
- The No-Crash option only applies to landing on runways.
-
- The Air to Ground missiles will not lock on to civilian targets or unarmed
- targets (such as tugboats). You'll have to use the rockets or the guns on
- them.
-
- If you have a printer, it would be a good idea to print out the
- "HOWTOFLY.TXT", "CONTROLS.TXT", "MISSIONS.TXT", "HEADS_UP.TXT" AND THE
- "READ1ST.TXT" FILES FOR QUICK REFERENCE SHEETS.
