- ~How to skip Training Missions and fly wherever you want!
- ~--------------------------------------------------------
-
- Tired of training missions when you feel ready to take on the gates
- of hell? Fortunately TFX has a way for mavericks to skip training
- missions, allowing you to fly wherever you want.While at the "Enter
- Pilot Name," screen, hold CTRL key while pressing ENTER key three
- times. Voila! You can now fly anywhere without going through
- training.

- ~A few more cheats for TFX
- ~-------------------------
-
- Some fuel for thought is that, during missions, you have a secret
- way to return to base regardless of what's in your fuel tank. So,
- if your fighter eats up 99.9% of it fuel load during the mission,
- simply engage the Auto-Landing by pressing ALT-L. This will
- amazingly teleport your plane to the airfield at the last way
- point instantly, no matter what the distance.
-
- The ALT-L combo will literally allow anything, whether you're tied
- up in an impossible to win dogfight or your jet is swiss cheese with
- a tiny piece of gum holding it together.Once back to base your jet
- will be completely refueled, reloaded, if you were allowed to pick
- your missions at the start of the mission.
-
- Another way to use this is if the landing field is closer to the
- targets or simply in a better tactical position to excute your
- objectives, you can use ALT-L to arrive there faster. The only
- drawback is that there isn't a way to pick which friendly airland
- you use with Auto-Landing. Kinetic energy is used to determine the
- mission ranges(Clever). If you launch a missle when you're at a
- higher speed, it will now only go farther, but faster too.
-
- Cosmetically speaking, an undocumented feature available with
- outside views is the use of the CTRL-arrow keys,you can close in
- very tightly on any part of the jet,including the cockpit for a very
- nice effect (makes worth buying a pentium!).
-
- Lastly the CD version's music comes directly of CD tracks when you're
- flying, but has the nasty tendency to stop when the tracks done, not
- restarting itself. If during the mission, the music stops and you
- want to have your cool tunes back, then enter the options screen,
- press the " ` " key (that's the key usually located above the TAB
- key and to the left of the 1 key), and the music will restart from
- the beginning. After all, what would Top Gun have been of like
- without Kenny Loggins' "Danger Zone"?
