~--------------------------------------------------------

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"?
