Chapter 1: About Stunt Island & Stunt Island Update
---------------------------------------------------

This is the document discussed in the manual on page 167 & 168.  We will be
changing it as often as possible. The majority of our feedback on the program
is coming from information services like Compuserve, Prodigy and America
On-Line, GEnie and our Bulletin Board System.  We felt that the easiest way
to get the maximum amount of information to our users would be via this text
file that can be downloaded from these services (Prodigy excluded).  If you
have a problem with Stunt Island, or if there is something in the manual that
is not covered, we will try to cover it here.  Keep those comments and
suggestions coming!

If you really like Stunt Island, we would really appreciate it if you would
write to your favorite games magazine and let them know.  We have received
over 5000 comments ranging from "Wow!" to a detailed dissertation on the
"incredible intricacies of Stunt Island" (and comments about negative aspects
too!) here in our offices.  Rather than toot our own horn to the magazines,
we would appreciate it if you, our users, would take a minute and write to
the editor of your favorite games magazine and tell them how you feel about
our program.  Positive and negative comments are appreciated, since they help
us to learn what you like and don't like!


Get Into The Action
-------------------

We don't have to be the only ones contributing to SIUPDATE, if you want to
write a tutorial to demonstrate a technique that you have discovered, please
send it to us for inclusion in the next issue.  A program is only as good as
it's users, so here's your chance to get in on the action!

A Review by Steven Wartofsky from The Electronic Gamer Magazine

 ============================
 === THE ELECTRONIC GAMER ===
 ============================

 STUNT ISLAND

 One minor problem in the genre of flight simulation is that the whole
endeavour is sometimes too deadly serious. Too much time is spent on expert
assessment of performance, not enough on just having fun. What a delight,
then, to encounter Disney's STUNT ISLAND, in which the emphasis is definitely
on fun, served up with a delicious sense of humor. (This review is based on
the IBM version.)

 Whereas most flight simulations these days focus on air combat details,
STUNT ISLAND (as the title makes clear) is oriented around the metaphor of
stunt flying. No battles, tactics, or strategy here; just a set of highly
challenging stunt opportunities that will test the skills of even the best
air combat sim player.

 The game provides an option to fly any of the 48 or so aircraft available
without getting into the stunt flying shell. While this gives you a chance to
see the varieties of aircraft included in the design (from Space Shuttle to
Duck, with everything in between), it doesn't really do justice to the core
of the game. The flight models are in fact quite good, and unlike some other
recent releases (BIRDS OF PREY comes to mind), the distinctions in
performance between the different aircraft are very clear. The Hang Glider,
for instance, does turns like a hang glider; the F-16C flies like an F-16;
the DC-10 feels like a heavy. But these are in some ways the least important
features of STUNT ISLAND.

 Where STUNT ISLAND really shines is in the Stunt Pilot of the Year Contest.
Included is a series of increasingly difficult stunts, which offer such
activities as taking off over a burning airplane to shoot down a Mitsubishi
Zero, landing on the Golden Gate bridge in a Cessna, picking up a convict on
Alcatraz in a Sopwith Camel, and parking at a hamburger stand in a Piper
Cherokee. Or, for something really different, try crashing into a hotel in a
meteor.

 Many of these stunts are chock full of amusing details (for example, try
accidentally clipping the con with your wings), and the after-results should
you fail in a stunt are attractive as well (except for, maybe, the good
doctor).

 The stunts are all cleverly designed to be a bit subtle; you'll have to do a
certain amount of experimentation and replay just to figure out the basic
parameters for doing a stunt right. For instance, in the Convict Pickup
scenario, those who've never lived in the San Francisco Bay Area might easily
be fooled into thinking they're flying over the right island with the convict
nowhere in sight. This is not a bug. He's out there.

 The graphics in STUNT ISLAND are wonderfully balanced. Whereas some recent
designs have opted for high-density air and ground graphics (to the detriment
of frame rate and usability on lower-end machines), Disney has seen fit to
combine basic solid-fill polygons for mountain and ground scenery with
lovingly shaded and textured graphics for the aircraft. This provides the
optimum in smooth frame rate with detail where it's needed most -- an
effective compromise.

 Sound in STUNT ISLAND is also quite carefully considered. The various engine
sounds are probably some of the best in flight simulatordom, and are specific
for jets, prop planes, and other aircraft (no quacks for the ducks,
unfortunately). Engines rev up and down with the throttle, and sputter when
they're cut (on the appropriate planes). The game is replete with various
sound effects, and includes extensive use of digitized voice for the pre-and
post-flight aspects of the design.

 Good use is made of digitized voice and voice acting that really works to
give you the sense of participating in a real contest. For example, the
director, prior to the second, third, and fourth takes, has _just_ the right
combination of encouraging cheeriness and hysteria to be believable. Voices
throughout the game are equally convincing.

 The feature of STUNT ISLAND most deserving of comment (and the one that's
likely to be least utilized by the majority of players) is the program's
incredibly comprehensive Set Creation, Filming, and Event engine. Going far
beyond anything provided in flight simulation, and rivaling systems included
in games such as Origin's OMEGA or Ezra Sidran's UNIVERSAL MILITARY SIMULATOR
II, STUNT ISLAND's editing, filming, and set construction utilities provide a
complete creation kit for producing almost any kind of stunt event
imaginable. With enough work, you can produce stunts as effective and as
subtle as the 32 included with the game.

 The amount of involvement with set and event construction required to fully
design a scenario is significant. The system is easy to use, but as with any
game design engine, fine-tuning placement of objects, co-ordination of
aircraft, arrangement of scenery, setting up camera locations, and so on
takes lots of time and patience. Add to this a BASIC-like programming
language that is implemented to sequence and organize events (such as
rewarding the pilot with cheers should s/he pass within 100 feet of a boat),
and the task ahead of the eager event designer looks rather daunting. As
there are 32 events already in STUNT ISLAND, it seems logical for the manual
to get to the design system as the last part of its clear explanation;
scenario design is likely to become appealing only after much time is
invested in the other aspects of the program.

 After managing to produce a set and event, you can then go even further, and
edit filmed takes of any of the events played, either from the original
32 included in the game, or from constructed sets and events. The editing
system is as comprehensive as the other production aspects of STUNT ISLAND,
and provides options to edit either on the fly or in frame-by-frame mode.
Footage can be deleted, visual and aural effects and music that weren't there
in the original performance can be incorporated, and even user-designed .VOC
sound files can be brought into an edited performance. The editing system
provides a source deck and a destination deck, so that the original is
preserved along with the edited copy.

 STUNT ISLAND comes on seven 5.25" 1.2Mb high-density disks (3.5" disks are
also available), and requires 14 megabytes of hard disk space free for
installation. Only 12 megabytes or so are used after installation, but the
design features will need at least another megabyte or two of hard disk space
beyond that to save files. The game auto-detects and calibrates a wide range
of joysticks, from single digital joysticks to dual joysticks to
Thrustmaster's FCS. The program is compatible with QEMM 5.0 and 6.0,
EMM386.SYS and HIMEM.SYS, 386MAX and BlueMAX, and Helix Software's Netroom
memory management utilities. As much extended or expanded memory as you have
will be used automatically by the program to cache itself and speed up
operations (extended and/or expanded memory are not necessary to play the
game, however).

 PC Speaker, Sound Blaster, Thunder Board, Tandy Sound, AdLib, Roland MT-
32/LAPC-I, PS/1 Audio Card, and The Sound Source are all supported for sound
effects (only those cards with DAC chips will do the digitized voices,
however). A mouse with a 100%-compatible Microsoft driver is supported as
well. VGA 256-color graphics card and monitor, PC or MS DOS 3.3, a high-
density floppy drive, 570K of 640K of base RAM, and a 386/16SX or faster is
required (386/33DX or faster highly recommended).

 Suffice it to say that STUNT ISLAND's set construction, event set-up, and
filming and editing features make it a mini film-studio simulation more than
anything else. Nevertheless, a viable flight simulator is at its core.
Learning and mastering all the different aspects of the STUNT ISLAND design
system could give you a useful understanding of what's involved in the
successful creation and filming of a movie stunt -- a subject covered nowhere
else in computer gaming.

Stunt Island Update
-------------------

One point we want to make before we proceed, you absolutely must read the
manual to understand the features of Stunt Island.  We have received lots of
phone calls that start off with "Hi, I didn't read the manual, but I want to
know about....".  Most of these callers could have saved themselves some time
and money by just reading the manual.  Don't get me wrong, we love hearing
from you and we are always happy to help, but we would appreciate it if you
would try this before calling, as it allows us more time to research other
issues involving Stunt Island.  We appreciate your assistance.

Q: How can I get a demo of this game?
A: Call the Disney Software Customer Service Department at 818-841-3326 and
   ask for a copy of the Stunt Island Demo by mail, or you can download it
   from any of the Online Information Services listed in Appendix E that have
   download capabilities.

Q: Did Disney Software purposely leave stuff out of the handbook just to
   sell us the 300 page book that is coming out soon?
A: ABSOLUTELY NOT!!!  Any company that would stoop to such a ploy deserves
   to lose their customers!  Disney Software is committed to FULL support
   of their products, and this SIUPDATE is a great example of that ideal.
   We want you to have the most up-to-date information possible so that you
   will enjoy Stunt Island completely.  We would never purposely leave out
   any information that is required to enjoy our programs.

Q: I have heard Stunt Island was released once before and pulled back due
   to bugs, is this true?
A: ABSOLUTELY NOT!!!! There has only been one version of Stunt Island. This
   is only an unfounded rumor.

Q: How does your plane algorithm work, i.e.: the same for every plane with
   weights?
A: Each plane utilizes it's performance figures as given by Jane's "All The
   World's Aircraft" and formulas found in "Aerodynamics For Naval Aviators".

Q: Any plans to come out with an object editor/creator?
A: No, not at this time.

Q: Any new aircraft to add? Maybe a C-130?
A: Add on disks are in the works, and a C-130 is planned.  Other aircraft that
   may be included are the B-52, B-1, Saab Fighters and some other great
   aircraft.  There will also be some helicopters!

Q: Do you have any bug fixes for Stunt Island?
A: The first "bug fix" (we prefer the more graceful "patch") is available
   now, and fixes a minor problem with the INSTALL.EXE file.  Some systems
   were experiencing a system lockup after the hardware auto-detect was
   run.  Look for SI_UP1.EXE on any of the Online Information Services
   listed in Appendix E that have download capabilities.

   Patch #2 is also out now (12/09/92) and fixes the palette shift problem
   that some systems have been experiencing.  Look for SI_UP2.EXE on any of
   the Online Information Services listed in Appendix E that have download
   capabilities. Both of these patches can be obtained on disk by calling
   our Customer Service department at [phone].

Q: Why is the sea pink and red in Stunt Island?
A: This is a bug!  We discovered that certain video cards displayed the
   ocean and lakes in Stunt Island in red or pink.  There is now a patch
   for this problem available by calling our Customer Service department
   at [phone], or our BBS at [phone].  The file to download
   is SI_UP2.EXE, and it can be found on from any of the Online Information
   Services listed in Appendix E that have download capabilities.

Q: Are there any plans to allow for an easier to control flight model? The
   current model is too realistic for me.
A: Yes, it will be part of the upcoming Patch #3 which will add Rudder
   Pedal support, and the new EASY/HARD flight model.

Q: When will Stunt Island be released in Europe and England?
A: We are not sure at this time, but it will be handled by Infogrammes.

Q: What is planned for add-on disks?
A: Helicopters, planes, advanced editing tools, animation macros, and a few
   other items. You will just have to be patient while we cook up a new
   batch of goodies!

Q: How does the doctor know I have a bad haircut?
A: It's our new TOP SECRET Artificial Intelligence Software! <GRIN>


Chapter 2: Setting Up The Program
---------------------------------

Q: The INSTALL program locks up, what is wrong?
A: On some systems the install program locks up. We are trying to figure
   out the problem and create a patch. If your experience this problem,
   please contact our customer service department. Try to provide us with
   a detailed description of the screen where the program locked up.

UPDATE: A patch for this problem is now available by calling our Customer
    Service department at 818-841-3326 or downloading it from any of
    the Online Information Services listed in Appendix E that have
    download capabilities.  The file name is SI_UP1.EXE and it contains
    a new INSTALL.EXE file that replaces the current INSTALL.EXE file.

Q: I use STACKER on my hard drive. When I installed the program, it
   reported that I had plenty of free disk space, however, the install
   terminated before completion and I only had 84000 Bytes left. Is this a
   Bug?
A: No. STACKER reports the estimated amount of disk space free, if the
   files being copied to the hard disk can be compressed. Since our files
   come compressed already, it messes up Stacker's estimate. To install
   Stunt Island on a stacked drive, we don't recommend installing to a
   drive that has less than 20MB free.

Q: I have a 386-16SX computer with 2 MB of RAM, how will Stunt Island run
   on my system?
A: Your computer meets the minimum requirements for the program. While it
   will run adequately on your system, the program performs best on a
   386-33 or higher system.

Caching Data
------------

A few users have reported terrible frame rates and long drawn out pauses in
game play in Stunt Island.  Almost all of these users were not caching any
program data into EMS or XMS memory, and therefore would suffer this problem.
Using a boot disk, use the following CONFIG.SYS file to allocate some XMS
memory for the program to use to cache it's data

  FILES=40
  BUFFERS=20
  DOS=HIGH
  DEVICE=C:\DOS\HIMEM.SYS         < This driver manages your extended memory.

This should improve game play significantly.


Q: Does Stunt Island support rudder control systems like the Thrustmaster
   rudder control system?
A: Not currently, but this is being added in the first update disk.

Q: I have an Ad-Lib card, and I can't get any digital Sound FX to play. How
   come?
A: An Ad-Lib card does not have a DAC (Digital Audio Converter) to play
   digital effects, therefore you will only hear synthesized musical
   effects. You may wish to purchase a Disney Sound Source to add a digital
   sound device to your system. (<---Shameless plug! <G>)

Q: I use QEMM to allocate EMS and XMS at the same time is there a way to
   force Stunt Island to use extended instead of expanded memory.
A: Stunt Island will use whichever portion of memory it sees the most of.
   Try allocating slightly more XMS than EMS, and it should default to
   extended memory.

Q: Do I need Expanded memory for Stunt Island?
A: No, Stunt Island will also use Extended memory to cache it's data.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

          Sound Blaster and Expanded Memory
          ---------------------------------

On some 386 and 486 system using a driver to simulate expanded memory (EMS)
and a Sound Blaster (or 100% compatible sound card) that does not employ a
FIFO (First In/First Out) buffer, you may experience difficulties with
digital sound effects.  This is due to the presence of the expanded memory
manager driver, which conflicts with Stunt Island's access to the Direct
Memory Access (DMA) channel.  This portion of the hardware is simulated by
the expanded memory manager, rather than allowing direct access to it.
Systems with a physical expanded memory board will not experience this
problem since their hardware handles expanded memory allocation rather than
having a device driver in your CONFIG.SYS file to handle the expanded memory.

This problem will not occur on all systems, however, if it does occur there
is a quick solution.  Stunt Island will cache it's program data to both
extended memory and expanded memory.  If the expanded memory is causing the
digital sound effects to waver and sound unclear, changing from expanded to
extended memory should solve the problem.  The following example is for
computers running DOS 5.0 and using it's built in memory management software,
users of QEMM 386 and other memory management programs should consult their
manuals for more information on switching to an extended memory only setup.

To change your system to an extended memory only setup, open your CONFIG.SYS
file with a text editor.  You should see something similar to the following:

  FILES=40
  BUFFERS=20
  DOS=HIGH
  DEVICE=C:\DOS\HIMEM.SYS         < This driver manages your extended memory.
  DEVICE=C:\DOS\EMM386.EXE  1024  < This driver manages your expanded memory.

To change to extended memory only, simply place a REMark statement in front
of line four to disable it temporarily.  If you wish to change it back again
later, all you have to do is delete the REM and the space at the beginning of
the line, save it and reboot to restore your expanded memory settings.  To
REMark out the line, use a text editor and change line four to look like
this:

  REM DEVICE=C:\DOS\EMM386.EXE 1024

When you save the CONFIG.SYS file and reboot your computer, your system will
have only extended memory allocated, and everything should sound normal.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Q: What graphics mode does Stunt Island use?
A: 320x200x256 color graphics.

Q: I only have a Disney Sound Source, what kind of sounds will I hear in
   Stunt Island?
A: You will get crisp digital sound effects like voices, explosions, jet
   sounds and music, but the synthesized music available on some advanced
   sound cards will not be available.  The digital sound effects are far
   superior to synthesized effects for realism.

Q: I am using the PC Speaker for sound, what kind of sound effects will I
   hear in Stunt Island?
A: Very limited effects.  There are just some things the PC speaker can't do,
   so a lot of sound effects are not available when using this sound option.
   To experience the full range of sounds in Stunt Island, a Sound Source or
   Sound Blaster card is required.

Q: Will Stunt Island work with my Pro Audio Spectrum 16 Sound Board?
A: Some users have had problems with this sound board.  We were unable
   to test with one during our testing period.  We have now obtained a
   PAS 16 and are looking into possible compatibility problems.  As we
   come up with more information we will post it here.

UPDATE: We have tested with a PAS 16, and found the following settings work
    with Stunt Island.

    Pro Audio Spectrum Side:      Sound Blaster Side:
    Port = None                   Port = 220
    Interrupt = 3                 Interrupt = 5
    DMA Channel = 3               DMA Channel = 1 (Must be 1)

    The PAS 16 consists of two sections, and the Sound Blaster section
    should use the settings shown above.  You may be able to use a
    different IRQ, but the DMA channel must be 1.

ADDITIONAL INFO: We have found (just by reading the PAS 16 manual and
         listening to users) that the majority of the problems with
         the PAS 16 card are due to the two sides of the card sharing
         a port, Interrupt or DMA Channel.  The two sides of the
         card must have different settings, or the card will cause
         the system to lock up.

Q: Will Stunt Island work with my ATI Stereo/FX sound card?
A: Yes, we have obtained and tried an ATI sound board here, and it works
   fine.  The settings we used were as follows:

      Audio Port Address :     220h
      Audio IRQ Level    :     IRQ 5
      Game Port          :     Slow
      Audio Mix          :     Off
      Audio Input Level  :     Mic
      Buffered DMA Plan  :     Enabled

   I know that others have gotten the cards to work with other settings.
   The most common reason for the cards not working that we have found
   is IRQ conflict.  Having the IRQ set to an option that SI doesn't
   support or sharing an IRQ with another card or device in your system.
   Stunt Island makes heavy use of system interrupts (IRQs) and if two
   devices are trying to share one, it can cause lockups and other
   problems.  Disney Software sound drivers do not support the use of
   non-standard interrupts, we only support IRQs 3, 5 and 7.  We can also
   make use of IRQ 2 in systems where it is not used as a cascaded
   interrupt.

Q: I am experiencing static in the sound for Stunt Island, can this be fixed?
A: This problem has been reported by several people, and in a few cases, it
   has turned out to be an Interrupt (IRQ) conflct.  This was discovered by
   running the SB-TEST program included with Sound Blaster Pro several times
   by a user who goes by the handle Major Mudd (Prodigy ID GRCM13A if you
   want to write to him) and it locked up on the Digital Sound test at both
   IRQ 5 and 7.  Once he switched the sound board to IRQ 2, the sound cleared
   up and the game ran fine.  Other possibilities may be speaker volume,
   connection or power level.  Some folks have reported sound problems, and
   they were running their sound card through a stereo and it's speakers,
   once they switched to a pair of speakersconnected directly to the sound
   card the sound cleared up.  Also bear in mind that we recommend removing
   expanded memory drivers, they may also conflict with the sound in the
   program.

UPDATE: One other potential solution is to select Joystick rather than
    Joystick w/Throttle, some users have reported sound problems when this
    option is selected.

Q: My frame rate is very choppy, what can I do to improve it?
A: Using ALT-P, bring up the Preferences screen. Turn the detail level down
   until the frame rate improves. The lower the detail, the faster the
   frame rate.

Q: I have the video go out many times while I play, what is wrong?
A: Please see Appendix E for information on contacting our Customer
   Service Department. Please have the information requested ready, and try
   to be at your computer when you call. we will try to help you diagnose
   the problem.  (FYI: The person who reported this problem had a defective
   video card!  This was not a bug!)

Q: Can Stunt Island make use of a math co-processor?
A: No, all math in the program is integer based, a math co-processor would
   not help.

Q: I couldn't get my Thrustmaster FCS to properly calibrate and the small
   amount of drift I was getting caused flight control to be lousy.
A: Try using the dead zone adjustment in the joystick calibration screen
   until you find a setting that works for you.

Q: I hate that film at the beginning of Stunt Island, is there any way to
   get rid of it?
A: You can do one of two things, go into the VAULT subdirectory and delete
   the file INTRO.FLM, and it will never come up again, or, rename one of
   your own .FLM files to INTRO.FLM and personalize the Intro with your own
   movie.

Q: Will Stunt Island work under OS/2?
A: We don't design for or support OS/2, but the game has been reported to
   work quite well by several OS/2 fans.  The following settings were
   submitted to us by Bob Grady.

    EMS_MEMORY_LIMIT           0
    HW_TIMER                  ON
    INT_DURING_IO             ON
    VIDEO_RETRACE_EMULATION  OFF

   Bob reports that the only real problem he gets is some choppiness in his
   sound during memory swaps.


Chapter 3: Aircraft Checkout Procedures
---------------------------------------

The Inertia Problem
-------------------

There has been a lot of discussion about the effect of inertia on the aircraft
in Stunt Island.  Many users have used terms like "Bleech!", "Flying A Brick"
and "Screwed Up" when referring to this problem.

We have looked into all of these complaints, and some potential solutions
have come up.

1. When you have trouble pulling out of a dive, drop your flaps and roll
   slightly from side-to-side.  Also cut back on the throttle.  This helps
   to lessen the effect of the inertia.  A lot of the users I have talked
   to try to fly at full speed throughout the stunts, and that is not always
   the best method.

2. A few people have complained about out of control rolling as they bank
   the aircraft they are flying.  This has mainly been reported on slower
   CPUs.  I know it happens for some folks on fast machines too, but part of
   the problem may be in the level of detail set for the program.  On a
   slower computer, setting the game for 100% detail will cause pauses, and
   loss of some control in the aircraft due to the massive amount of
   calculations the CPU has to make to try to keep up.  By pressing ALT-P
   and reducing the detail level, this problem will lessen somewhat.

3. Another possibility is the sensitivity level of your joystick.  The
   default "dead zone" for Stunt Island is 20%.  That  gives you a little
   bit of play in the joystick before it actually moves the aircraft.  Try
   lowering it down to 7% to make your joystick a bit more responsive.  You
   can fiddle with it to find a setting that suits you, but this should also
   help to lessen the effect of inertia.

One way that Disney Software is working to meet the demands of users is
to add a selectable flight model to the program.  The current flight model
will continue on as the "HARD" option, and a new "EASY" flight model
with no inertia whatsoever will be part of the upcoming rudder pedal patch.
We hope this will put an end to this problem by allowing users the
freedom to choose how they want to fly.  Keep those suggestions coming!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Q: There is a great deal of inertia to the planes in Stunt Island, I have a
   hard time pulling out of a dive, is there a fix to this?
A: We are looking at making some improvements to the flight dynamics of some
   planes.  One possible solution to the problem may be that you are going
   too fast however.  Many users are going full speed in a dive or turn, and
   just by dropping the speed a bit your controls become easier to handle.

Q: I selected the Pterodactyl at the Airfield to take a test spin around the
   island.  It just sits on the runway and spins around in a circle, why?
A: To fly the Pterodactyl from the airfield you need to do one of the
   following steps to give it acceleration.  Since the Pterodactyl is not an
   aircraft in the same fashion as a Cessna, it flys a bit differently.
   It has a free-form flight model that allows you to make really sharp
   turns and to go as fast as you want to.  We are looking into why it sits
   and spins, but you can use the following steps to make it move.

   Joystick Fliers:
   Push forward on your joystick and press button #2 at the same time.
   This will cause the Pterodactyl to accellerate and when you have hit the
   speed you want, just let up on the button.

   Mouse Fliers:
   Press and hold the left button on your mouse to make the Pterodactyl
   accellerate to the speed you want, then let up on the button.

   Keyboard Fliers:
   Press and hold the ENTER key to make the Pterodactyl accelerate.  When
   you reach the speed you want, let up on the ENTER key.

Q: I can't use the function keys to change my view when I am flying, why?
A: It is possible that one of your shift keys is stuck.  If the shift key
   is depressed or stuck down, the Function Keys to change your flight view
   will not work properly.

Q: The elevator control is really sluggish in the propeller driven
   aircraft, are there any plans to fix this?
A: Yes, we are looking at the flight model data to see if we can improve
   the performance of these aircraft.

Q: What exactly is gouraud shading and why couldn't I tell the difference
   (when viewing my plane) between having it on and having it dithered? Is
   dithered the optimal setting for fast machines?
A: There are two types of gouraud shading, regular and dithered. Try
   placing the Pitts Special at the airport, then press F6 to get the
   spotter plane view and turn the shading on and off in preferences by
   pressing ALT-P to bring up the preferences menu.

Q: The SR71's port wing is bent up at a 15 degree angle, is this a bug?
A: Yes, and we have no idea how that slipped through!!!  We will fix it as
   soon as possible.

Q: I can loop a 747, do you call that a realistic flight model?
A: No, but after all, this is about making movies, and Hollywood does live
   by "suspension of disbelief"!

Q: Whenever I land on an object that is not on the ground, like on top of
   tall buildings, the plane vibrates or bounces, why?
A: This is a math rounding error in large numbers. The top of one building
   is 800 feet off of the ground and the calculation is imperfect, yielding
   the bouncing effect.

Q: The hangars at the airport are open, but I crash as I try to fly through,
   is it possible to fly through them?
A: Yes. Make sure that the plane you are flying is small enough to fit into
   them.  Try placing a plane inside the hangar in Set Design, and then fly
   it out of the hangar.

Q: I selected a plane from the airfield, and I took off and pressed R to
   record my flight.  When I took the film into the editing room, the only
   sounds I got were the explosions from when I crashed at the end. Why?
A: The solution is in the way you record your flight.  Once you select the
   aircraft, and you are sitting still on the runway ready to take off, press
   R to record your flight.  Then after you have done that, press 0 to make
   the aircraft accelerate, this will record the start of the engine sounds
   onto your film.  If you start the engines first, the sound's starting
   point will not be recorded onto the film, and won't be available in the
   editing room.

Q: I can't get my plane to level out in time, is there something I can do to
   get level faster?
A: Yes, press the A button to go into AUTOPILOT mode.  Your plane will
   immediately get flat and level at the press of the A key.  The only
   problem is that it doesn't always look realistic in a film.

Q: The Mig 25 is supposed to do Mach 2.8, in Stunt Island it tops out at
   about 700 Mph, why?
A: While it is true that the Mig 25 was developed to chase the XB-70A
   Valkyrie (Projected speed Mach 3+), according to Jane's All The World's
   Aircraft, 1991-1992 Edition - Page 260, the maximum level speed for the
   Foxbat A is Mach 0.85 (703.8 Mph).  Obviously we are a little slower than
   Janes, I am not sure if this will be adjusted.  For all aircraft we use
   the maximum level speed, not the Never Exceed Speed (Vne), because most
   of the aircraft are not able to obtain those speeds in level flight.

Stunt 19: Error in Stunt Description
------------------------------------

The description in the book says you cannot go above 50 feet in your plane,
the screen in the Stunt Coordinator's office says you cannot go above 40 feet.
The Stunt Coordinator is correct, the description for Stunt 19 on Page 53 of
the manual should say "You must keep your Piper Cherokee within 20 feet of
each truck and fly no higher than 40 feet", not "50 feet" as it says now.

Q: I am having trouble learning to fly the stunt, is there a way to
   practice?
A: Yes, in the stunt descriptions starting on page 47 of the manual, each
   stunt has a file name listed of the set used to create it. Load these
   files in set design, and you can practice without it affecting your
   contest standing.  You can use this list to find the right files:

   Stunt                          File
   -----                          ----


   Another way to practice without affecting you standings is to select
   NO when you are asked if you want to be in the competition.  Now when
   you go to the Stunt Coordinater he will still offer you assignments,
   but you can scan throught the entire list of assignments and do them
   as many times as you want to without affecting your standings.

Q: When performing the Burger Stand stunt, I found that as I was turning
   left off the main road, my plane would rise up off the ground to the
   height of the buildings adjacent to me if my right wing happened to
   collide with them. Is this a bug in the software, or a problem in the
   burger set design?
A: Yes, this is a bug! The program is unable to define the exact ground
   level, prior to colliding with the wall the program thinks that you
   landed on top of that building, hence the lifting effect.  This bug may
   not be fixable, but we will look into it.

TYPESET: The Unknown Utility
--------------------------------

If you have a problem with a set, and you want a quick way to lay it all out
in front of you, then you need to read this section.  A lot of users have
been commenting lately on the undocumented utility included with Stunt Island
called TYPESET.  Typeset will read the contents of a .SET file and print it
to the screen, printer or a text file.  To simplify the use of TYPESET, we
also put in two small batch (.BAT) files called SETINFO.BAT and PRINTSET.BAT.
These are especially handy for evaluating your sets on paper and trying to
figure out little glitches in your SETs.

To print a SET to the screen, just type the following (you must run all of
these commands from the directory where Stunt Island is installed):

     TYPESET SETS\ALCATRAZ.SET | MORE

The SETS\ALCATRAZ.SET portion of the command is the path to the SET file you
want to display.  Most .SET files are stored in the SETS subdirectory of
Stunt Island, if yours are located elswhere, please substitute the complete
path after the TYPESET command.

The SETINFO.BAT file will use TYPESET.EXE to send the information about a
.SET file to a plain ASCII text (.TXT) file.  The following shows the usage
for SETINFO.BAT:

  Usage:     SETINFO <path><setname>
Example:     SETINFO SETS\ALCATRAZ

Don't include the .SET extension, the batch file does that for you.
SETINFO.BAT will take all of the information in ALCATRAZ.SET and store it in
an ASCII text file called ALCATRAZ.TXT in your \STUNTISL directory.  This
file can now be edited with any text editor, or printed at a later date.

The PRINTSET.BAT file will use TYPESET.EXE to send the information about a
.SET file to your printer.  The following shows the usage for PRINTSET.BAT:

  Usage:     PRINTSET <path><setname>
Example:     PRINTSET SETS\ALCATRAZ

Don't include the .SET extension, the batch file does that for you.
SETINFO.BAT will take all of the information in ALCATRAZ.SET and send it to
your printer.  This file can now be used to trouble shoot you set, or to
send to a friend to try.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Q: Why is it that the propellers on other aircraft will not turn unless my
   engine is running?
A: This was one of those little programming issues that could not be
   resolved before we shipped Stunt Island.  We had to set it up so
   that Rotors and Landing Gear on all aircraft are dependant upon
   the position and speed of the primary object in prop slot #1.

Q: How did the helicopter in the demo end up flying like a helicopter since
   it doesn't have a helicopter flight model? (See LOCATION.FLM)
A: It's magic! (Just kidding) Actually that was all done with the Event
   Programming feature.  I have included a sample .SET here to demonstrate
   how to do this.  Since the helicopters are props, and not part of the
   aircraft included in the "Planes" section, they do not have flight models
   of their own.  They use a generic flight model.

This event controls all of the helicopter's movements.  Since the
helicopter is a prop, and not an aircraft with it's own flight model
in this release of Stunt Island, you would have to use this method
to make it appear to take off vertically.

Q: Why can't I view an object I am trying to adjust from one of my camera
   views?
A: Quite simply, because it wasn't designed into the program.  This suggestion
   has been passed on to our Product Development department for consideration.

Q: I want to fly through the city like I can in the Pterodactyl, but I want
   to use another plane.  Is there any way to give another plane the same
   flight characteristics as the Pterodactyl?
A: Yes.  Actually there are two ways to accomplish this trick, and I must
   give the credit for this discovery to the users of Prodigy and Compuserve
   for coming up with it!

   Method 1: (You can substitute other aicraft for the Mig if you like)
   Place the Pterodactyl in prop slot #1 as the primary flying object.  Turn
   it's visibility OFF.  Place the Mig 29 Fulcrum in prop slot #9, and change
   it's method to ATTACH, attach it to prop #1 (the Pterodactyl).  What this
   does is show the Mig 29 as the primary aircraft while using the flight
   characteristics of the Pterodactyl which is the actual primary aircraft.
   You can now zig and zag through the sets just like you can with the
   Pterodactyl, but your films will show you flying a Mig 29. Use this set
   as an example.

   Method 2:
   Place the Pterodactyl in prop slot #1, then set an event to change the
   appearance of the Pterodactyl into another aircraft.  This will achieve
   the same effect as above without using an extra prop slot.  Use this set
   as an example.

Q: I can't fire any weapons!  I just made a stunt and I have all of my
   objects set, but I am not able to fire weapons, why?
A: Weapons (IE: Bullets, Bombs and Missiles) take up a prop slot.  If you
   placed 40 props (the maximum) there is no open prop slot to be used by
   the weapon, therefore it won't fire.  If you plan on using a certain
   weapon, leave at least one prop slot open in your set.

Q: Is it possible to have an invisible camera?
A: Yes, go to the object you want to change to invisible in the Set Design
   section of the program.  Select ADJ from the menu of options on the
   right of your screen.  At the bottom of the ADJ menu you will see a
   button marked VIS.  That button should not be pressed down if you want
   the object to be invisible.  If it is pressed down, simply press it
   again to change the object to invisible.

Q: I don't understand how to make an object explode, can someone show
   me a simple way to do this?
A: There are several ways to make an object explode.  The simplest is to
   turn the COLL and EXPL features for the object ON in the ADJ menu of
   Set Design.  Then when you fly it into another object that has it's
   collideability set to ON, it will explode.  Try placing an A-10 in Prop
   Slot #1, and a 00500x00500 Collision Window about 200 feet in front of
   it.  In the Adjust menu, set the A-10 to COLL-ON and EXPL-ON and the
   Collision Window to COLL-ON.  Then fly the stunt.  When your A-10 hits
   Collision Window, it will explode.

   Another way is to use an Event.  Go back into Set Design and use the same
   set we just used.  In the Adjust menu for the A-10, change EXPL to OFF.
   Select EVENTS and program an event to read like this.....

    IF COLLISION Object1 WITH Object3 THEN WAIT 5 Seconds AND EXPLODE Object1

   Now select Fly Stunt again, and this time when you hit the Collision
   Window you will keep flying for 5 seconds and then your A-10 will explode.

Q: Sometimes I can see background objects in front of foreground objects,
   how come?
A: This is a sorting problem for the computer, and it is placing background
   data in front of foreground data.  We cannot fix this problem at this
   time. You can minimize this effect by adjusting camera angles slightly
   higher or lower or farther away than the objects.

Q: Where are the helicopters?
A: They are under military equipment. Only Blackhawk Helo #2 has rotors
   that spin. We are planning to add helicopters in a later release of
   Stunt Island with accurate helicopter flight models.  Check the Prop
   List in Appendix A for a complete listing of current props.

Q: Why can't I drive cars in Stunt Island?
A: Stunt Island: The Flying and Filming Simulation, the game's title should
   be all the explanation needed.  We realize that a driving simulator
   would be great too, but we did not design driving features into Stunt
   Island.

Q: Why is it when I try to drive a car up a ramp it passes right through
   the ramp?
A: If you try driving a car, it will handle like a plane, since the program
   expects a plane as the main prop rather than a car. Some of the ramps
   and bridges do not have crash data, and you can pass right through them.
   You can make cars appear to drive more realistically by using system
   events and placing them in prop spots 9-40. For example, you could place
   a collision window at the base of ramp to cause a car to change it's
   angle to appear like it is driving up the ramp, and another collision
   window at the top to level it out again.

Q: Designing a stunt is hard, is there any way to simplify programming a
   stunt?
A: We will develop macros for animation in add on disks.  Things like
   TUMBLE, TURN, EXPLODE MULTIPLE and other features to make this aspect
   easier for you.

Q: Can the planes be programmed to kill you?
A: Yes, you can create a set design that has planes seek and fire at you.
   An example of this will soon be available on any of the Online Information
   Services listed in Appendix E that have download capabilities.

Q: When going through the set design tutorial, I found that I couldn't use
   GoTo to go to the spot plane position. Is this a function of the spot
   plane, a result of the spot plane using the same coordinates as the
   primary plane, or a bug?
A: This is a special case. The spotter plane is not an actual prop. It
   cannot be deleted or changed with another prop, but you can adjust it's
   viewpoint by going to Object 2 in Set Design, or press F6 while you are
   flying.

Q: Is there any way to destroy the permanent scenery?
A: Well, aside from the damaging effect that would have on the delicate
   ecosphere of Stunt Island, no, we haven't added that yet! <vbg>

Q: Can I change the time of day on Stunt Island?
A: Yes, use the global button in Set Design to set the time of day, or
   press ALT-T while you are flying.

Q: I want fire in my stunt, is there an object for flames?
A: No, but maybe in a future release.  For an idea on simulating flames,
   take a look at the final section of Demo Film Number 3.  When the tanks
   are destroyed and the radar site blows up, Leonard D'Ambrosio did a nice
   job of simulating burning wreckage.

Q: What's the difference between the Camera #1 and Camera #2 props? Do they
   operate differently?
A: The only difference is in appearance, in case you want a camera visible
   in one of your films.

Q: Is there an easy way to calculate the altitude for an object so that it's
   resting on the ground? Having to calculate this altitude as half the
   object's height is a little unreasonable.
A: This should happen automatically. If an object does not do this
   automatically, please let us know which object it is so we can
   investigate for bugs.

   Every object in the program has a centerpoint.  It is at the middle of
   the object and gives the object a minimum altitude when you place it
   in a set.  EXAMPLE: A 3000x3000 foot collision window has a default
   altitude of 1500 feet since it's center point is 1500 feet from each of
   it's four sides.  When you place it in a set and select ADJ, you will
   see that it's altitude is listed as 1500 feet.  This is true for all
   objects.

Q: How can I get my aircraft to leave a smoke trail?
A: There is no feature for this in the program, but you can simulate it by
   placing the Smoke Prop as an object, and attaching it to prop #1.  Then
   use Events to toggle it's visibility ON and OFF when you want smoke trails
   to appear.  See the tutorials section for an idea on how to accomplish
   this.

TIP:
I discovered this handy technique while setting up a formation flying stunt
that will shortly become Tutorial 6 or 7.  I placed my aircraft, an F-18, in
prop slot #1 and attatched three other F-18s to it, one 60 feet behind me and
two others right and left behind me in a diamond formation.  As I completed
a few events, I realized I needed the planes METHOD to be FREE.  So, I went
back into Set Design and switched them all, expecting to have to relocate
them to their original positions in the diamond.  Lo and behold, switching
them to FREE objects left them right in those exact same coordinates, and I
didn't have to refigure their positions.  The point of all this is as
follows, if your stunt relies heavily on the location of an aircraft in
relation to yours, use the ATTACH Method to place the plane, and then switch
it to FREE to achieve easier positioning.



Chapter 6: Setting Up Special Events
------------------------------------

Q: Does anybody know how the CHANGE METHOD line works?  When I
   use it to change and object that's moving and has a FACE method to a
   FREE object (but still moving) it stopped and no command will make it
   move again.  What do I do?
A: WILO

Q: There is no weapon to trigger an event when I am flying the pterodactyl.
   It would also be nice if other non-combat aircraft had a way of triggering
   events the way the same way that combat aircraft do.  What can you do
   about this?
A: The solution to this problem is all in your imagination.  We included the
   collision windows and events to allow you the freedom to make any event
   happen.  Through creative placement of these props and using special
   events, you can literally make anything happen within the confines of the
   Stunt Island world.  Any plane can have a weapon, simply turn that option
   on in Set Design under the GLOBAL settings.  If you want that weapon to
   trigger an event, then you need to place collision windows or use an event
   to do that.  If you want a weapon to trigger an event, but don't want it to
   appear on-screen, try the following set.  It's all in your imagination!

Q: How come when I use an event to change object 1 into another object, the
   new object keeps the same flight characteristics as the object I started
   with?
A: You are only changing the external shape (or appearance) of the object.
   It will continue to use the flight data that was loaded for the original
   object in Prop Slot #1.  See Chapter 5 for more on this subject.

Q: Are the IF statements required in Events programming?
A: Yes, in order for an event to occur, an IF statement must be occur
   in order for other statements in the event to occur.

Q: Do you have to pass through a collision window to trigger events
   attached to it.
A: Yes, in order to trigger an event related to a collision windows, the
   object specified in the IF COLLISION statement must pass through it.


Chapter 7: Tutorial - Creating Sets and Events
----------------------------------------------

Subject: Innacurate Tutorial in Chapter 7 of Stunt Island Handbook

This section is being included to assist users with some information not
provided in the Chapter 7 tutorial.

The lower section of the Adjust feature is where you can set the object
to be Collideable, Visible, Explodeable, and set it's Shadow.  How these
variables are set can greatly affect the outcome of the stunt.  In the
case of someone who is completely new to the program, this can cause very
confusing results.

There are two default settings in the Adjust menu. For ANY object in Prop
Slot Box #1 (The prop you will fly) the default settings are Visibility-ON
and Shadow-ON.  Everything else is toggled OFF.  For any object in Prop
Slot Boxes 3-40 the default setting is Visibility-ON, and everything else
is toggled OFF.  Prop Slot Box #2 is reserved for the spotter camera, and
the default settings are all toggled OFF, you can change these, but erratic
results may occur when running the program.

The following changes should be incorporated if you are attempting to
re-create the Burger Set using the Tutorial example given in Chapter 7 of
the Stunt Island Handbook.  Please be advised that the button is said to be
in the ON position when it appears to be pushed in on the menu screen.

 1. Prop  1 Piper Cherokee (Page 104) Coll Button in Adjust Menu should be ON.
 2. Prop  3 Camera #1      (Page 105) Vis Button in Adjust Menu should be OFF.
 3. Prop  4 Camera #1      (Page 106) Vis Button in Adjust Menu should be OFF.
 4. Prop 11 00010x00010    (Page 106) Vis Button in Adjust Menu should be OFF.
 5. Prop 11 00010x00010    (Page 106) Coll Button in Adjust Menu should be ON.
 6. Prop 12 Sphere 6r      (Page 106) Vis Button in Adjust Menu should be OFF.
 7. Prop 25 Police Wagon   (Page 111) Coll Button in Adjust Menu should be ON.
 8. Prop 31 00500x00500    (Page 112) Vis Button in Adjust Menu should be OFF.
 9. Prop 31 00500x00500    (Page 112) Coll Button in Adjust Menu should be ON.
10. Prop 32 00500x00500    (Page 112) Vis Button in Adjust Menu should be OFF.
11. Prop 32 00500x00500    (Page 112) Coll Button in Adjust Menu should be ON.
12. Prop 33 00500x00500    (Page 112) Vis Button in Adjust Menu should be OFF.
13. Prop 33 00500x00500    (Page 112) Coll Button in Adjust Menu should be ON.

The Stunt Island Tutorials
--------------------------

Q: Is there a way to fly the planes in Stunt Island by Remote/Radio Control?
A: There is not a specific feature to do this, but yes, it can be done!  The
   following set data should give you an idea of how to build a set to allow
   you to do this.

   Stunt Island Tutorial #1: Radio Control Flying
   ----------------------------------------------

   Someone was asking me about R/C flying, which I think I understand as
   Remote or Radio Control flying.  What these people wanted was a way to
   watch their plane from a static ground location as they flew it, or at
   least I think that's what they wanted.

   The enclosed .SET and .FLM file demonstrate a way to do this.  I set a
   Camera in prop slot 3, and turned on it's watch attribute, and made it
   watch prop 1 which is the plane I am flying.  I also changed it's method
   to SEEK Prop 1.

   When I fly the stunt, all I have to do is press CTRL-F3 to see from the
   view of the camera in prop slot 3, and I have my remote control view for
   flying.

   You can expand on this idea and place cameras in several locations for
   multiple remote views of your flight.  As you move out of range of one,
   you can switch to the next, and never have to even use the pilot view.

   I hope the following .SET helps some of you out.  I will try to do more of
   these in the future.  This .SET and a short .FLM can be downloaded from
   all the locations listed in Appendix E that have download capability in
   the file REMOTE.ZIP.

Q: I seem to be having trouble bombing things.  I activate the control to
   switch to the bomb weapon, and I drop bombs, but nothing seems to happen.
   I don't see any bombs from the cockpit of the bombsight view, and nothing
   blows up beneath my plane, how come?
A: Take a look at how we did it here in this set!

I have left Prop #12 visible so that you can see what happens.  In a
normal film, you can turn the visibility off, and the same effect will
occur.  You just have to hit the Window.

This is the only event that I needed to accomplish a bombing run.  I tell
the program that any weapon that hits the 120x120 Horizontal Collision
Window around the Country & Western Bar will blow up the bar!

Event#1                 One Shot
If Any Weapon hits hz 0120X0120(12)
 And nothing
 And nothing
Then explode C&W Bar(11)
 And play 'Explosion #06' on chan 2, vol= 4.

Tutorial 2B: Hit The Cathedral

This is the second method that can be used for larger targets that are easier
to hit.  All you have to do is make the large target EXPLODEABLE, and make
sure you hit it with a bomb!  I placed a large cathedral where the C&W Bar
had been, and used the same setup to complete this second part of the
tutorial.  Either of these methods should demonstrate how to bomb a ground
target.

Q: I would like to know if it is possible to "trail" horizontal smoke and/or
   fire on an aircraft?
A: Yes, it can be done.  The following .SET information should show you how
   to do it!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Stunt Island Tutorial #3: Smoke Trails Behind a Plane
-----------------------------------------------------

Some people have asked us if there is a way to have smoke trail behind an
aircraft that has been struck by a missile.  We are hoping a smoke trail
feature will be added in the next version of Stunt Island, but in the
meantime, try this set for one idea on how to do it.

This is a small sphere I attatched to object 1 and moved to just behind
the tail of the plane.  The smoke in prop slot 13 is spotting this object
in order to turn the smoke to the angle we needed it at, and to have it
appear just behind the plane instead of directly under it.

This collision window follows the A6 in Prop Slot 1 and triggers
Camera 3 to zoom in on the missile strike.

This is the event to tell the missile to take off and achieve a maximum
speed of 700 Mph.

Event#1                 One Shot
If A6E Intruder(1) hits 06000X06000(12)
 And nothing
 And nothing
Then change Ground/Air Missile(11)'s method to Seek
 And change Ground/Air Missile(11)'s method obj to 1
 And change Ground/Air Missile(11)'s acceleration to 100
 And play 'Missile Fire' on chan 2, vol= 4.
 And wait 7 seconds
 And change Ground/Air Missile(11)'s acceleration to 0
 And change Ground/Air Missile(11)'s speed to 700
 And do nothing

This is the event to tell Camera 3 to zoom in on the missile striking the A6
Intruder.

Event#2                 One Shot
If Ground/Air Missile(11) hits 01000X01000(15)
 And nothing
 And nothing
Then change Camera#1(3)'s zoom to 0.5
 And do nothing
 And do nothing
 And do nothing
 And do nothing
 And do nothing
 And do nothing
 And do nothing

This event turns the visibility of the smoke trail on after the missile hits
it.  The plane flys on for 8 seconds while the pilot tries to discover
where he went wrong, and then KABLOOEY!

Event#3                 One Shot
If Ground/Air Missile(11) hits A6E Intruder(1)
 And nothing
 And nothing
Then explode Ground/Air Missile(11)
 And change Smoke(13)'s visibility to 1
 And play 'Missile Explosion' on chan 2, vol= 4.
 And play 'Wait a minute...' on chan 1, vol= 4.
 And wait 8 seconds
 And explode A6E Intruder(1)
 And play 'Explosion #06' on chan 2, vol= 4.
 And kill Smoke(13)

We hope this helps, you may need to play with the smoke trail even further in
events to get it to twirl around behind an out of control aircraft.  Our
method here is only good if the plane doesn't change direction too much.
Good luck fellow Stunt Islanders!

Stunt Island Lesson #4: Realism in Set Design
---------------------------------------------

Some people have been telling me there is no realism to Stunt Island.  That
couldn't be further from the truth.  The realism is all in your imagination.
If you visualize a scene in your head, and then sit down and logically plan
it out in Set Design, you can create it.  All I wanted to accomplish here was
to get a Lockheed TR-1 to roll out of a hangar and onto the runway.  I
succeeded in doing that after about two hours of fiddling to get it just
right.  Then I spent another hour or two playing with other props, and
animating several vehicles in my film.  I think the results will demonstrate
my point really well.  It IS possible to achieve realism in Stunt Island sets.

A short .FLM, .ALL and .SET files can be found in the file REALISM.ZIP on any
of the Online Information Services listed in Appendix E that have download
capabilities.

This first event starts the TR-1 moving out of it's hangar.  Rather than
using collision windows to test when I was at a certain point, I decided
to use time statements and flags to demonstrate how to turn an object in a
realistic manner.  See the lesson on driving a car for other ideas.

Event#1                 One Shot
If 3 seconds have elapsed
 And nothing
 And nothing
Then change Lockheed Tr1(10)'s speed to 5
 And wait 11 seconds
 And change Lockheed Tr1(10)'s yaw anim to 7
 And change Lockheed Tr1(10)'s heading yaw anim to 7
 And wait 14 seconds
 And change Lockheed Tr1(10)'s yaw anim to 0
 And change Lockheed Tr1(10)'s heading yaw anim to 0
 And set flag #1 to 1

This event is my second turn onto the access road next to the runway.

Event#2                 One Shot
If 1 seconds have elapsed
 And flag #1 = 1
 And nothing
Then wait 5 seconds
 And change Lockheed Tr1(10)'s yaw anim to -8
 And change Lockheed Tr1(10)'s heading yaw anim to -8
 And wait 10 seconds
 And change Lockheed Tr1(10)'s yaw anim to 0
 And change Lockheed Tr1(10)'s heading yaw anim to 0
 And set flag #1 to 2
 And do nothing

This is my third turn onto the runway from the access road.

Event#3                 One Shot
If 1 seconds have elapsed
 And flag #1 = 2
 And nothing
Then wait 6 seconds
 And change Lockheed Tr1(10)'s yaw anim to 8
 And change Lockheed Tr1(10)'s heading yaw anim to 8
 And wait 10 seconds
 And change Lockheed Tr1(10)'s yaw anim to 0
 And change Lockheed Tr1(10)'s heading yaw anim to 0
 And set flag #1 to 3
 And do nothing

This is my final turn in behind the U2 waiting on the runway.  I started
the U2 down the runway for takeoff just as the TR-1 started this last
turn by pressing 0 to accelerate.

Event#4                 One Shot
If 1 seconds have elapsed
 And flag #1 = 3
 And nothing
Then wait 9 seconds
 And change Lockheed Tr1(10)'s yaw anim to -8
 And change Lockheed Tr1(10)'s heading yaw anim to -8
 And wait 11 seconds
 And change Lockheed Tr1(10)'s yaw anim to 0
 And change Lockheed Tr1(10)'s heading yaw anim to 0
 And wait 8 seconds
 And change Lockheed Tr1(10)'s speed to 0

This event slows and stops the f4 Phantom I have driving down the access road
towards the TR-1 as it taxis out to the runway.

Event#5                 One Shot
If F4E Phantom(24) hits 00120X00120(25)
 And nothing
 And nothing
Then wait 2 seconds
 And change F4E Phantom(24)'s acceleration to -5
 And wait 6 seconds
 And change F4E Phantom(24)'s acceleration to 0
 And change F4E Phantom(24)'s speed to 0
 And do nothing
 And do nothing
 And do nothing

This was just to achieve some beauty shots of the U2.

Event#6                 One Shot
If Lockheed U2(1) hits 00120X00120(26)
 And nothing
 And nothing
Then change Camera#1(6)'s acceleration to 1
 And wait 1 seconds
 And change Camera#1(6)'s zoom to 2.5
 And wait 1 seconds
 And change Camera#1(6)'s zoom to -3.5
 And wait 1 seconds
 And change Camera#1(6)'s zoom to -1.5
 And do nothing

This event animates a Humvee I have placed between two buildings.  It will
drive out to the access road.  See next event.

Event#7                 One Shot
If 30 seconds have elapsed
 And nothing
 And nothing
Then change Humvee(27)'s acceleration to 1
 And do nothing
 And do nothing
 And do nothing
 And do nothing
 And do nothing
 And do nothing
 And do nothing

This event tells the Humvee to turn, and head out onto the grass next to the
runway.  The driver probably wants to see a U2 take off up close.

Event#8                 One Shot
If Humvee(27) hits 00120X00120(28)
 And nothing
 And nothing
Then change Humvee(27)'s yaw anim to -45
 And change Humvee(27)'s heading yaw anim to -45
 And wait 1.5 seconds
 And change Humvee(27)'s yaw anim to 0
 And change Humvee(27)'s heading yaw anim to 0
 And wait 10 seconds
 And change Humvee(27)'s acceleration to 0
 And change Humvee(27)'s speed to 0

This event causes a second Phantom on another runway to start accelerating
for takeoff.  Notice that this event relys on a totally unrelated object
raching it's destination.  I didn't want this jet to leave until the jet
driving down the access road came to a complete stop at the other end.
See next event.

Event#9                 One Shot
If F4E Phantom(24) hits 00120X00120(25)
 And nothing
 And nothing
Then change F4E Phantom(11)'s acceleration to 30
 And do nothing
 And do nothing
 And do nothing
 And do nothing
 And do nothing
 And do nothing
 And do nothing

This last event changes the animation of the Phantom from the previous
event to make it appear to take off.

Event#10                One Shot
If F4E Phantom(11) hits 00120X00120(37)
 And nothing
 And nothing
Then change F4E Phantom(11)'s pitch anim to 1
 And change F4E Phantom(11)'s heading pitch anim to 1
 And do nothing
 And do nothing
 And do nothing
 And do nothing
 And do nothing
 And do nothing

Stunt Island Tutorial #5: Intercepting And Colliding With Another Object
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Carlos Ribas of Prodigy asked about having another aircraft hunt you down
and ram into you.  He was doing a set where the chasing aircraft had no
weapons and had to ram the other aircraft.  There are two ways to do this.

The first method has you flying the lead aircraft, and you use events to
have the chasing plane catch up to you and ram into you.  As you will see,
this does not achieve a realistic effect.  When an aircraft SEEKs another, it
proceeds in a straight line without any pitch or yaw.  If you fly in a
straight line without any twists or turns, you can achieve a fairly realistic
scene, but who wants an action sequence without any twists and turns! <G>

This is the chase aircraft, and to make sure it does as much animating
towards your aircraft, turn it's Watch ON, and make sure it's watch object
is your aircraft.  This will ensure that it point towards your aircraft as
it is ramming into it!  It starts off in the FOLLOW method, and through
the use of a collision window and events programming, I changed it to hunt
down the aircraft in prop slot 1.

This event tells the chase aircraft to switch it's method to FREE, and
start accelerating towards the other aircraft.  After I get it's speed
and acceleration set, I change it's METHOD to SEEK and it's METHOD OBJECT
to the aircraft in Prop Slot 1.  The reason for setting the speed is that
the aircraft was initially set to FOLLOW, and was using the SPEED of the
aircraft in prop slot 1.  When it is switched to FREE, it has no SPEED, so
one must be set immediately in order for the plane to keep flying.

Event#1                 One Shot
If Curtis Jenny(1) hits 18000X18000(10)
 And nothing
 And nothing
Then change Curtis Jenny(9)'s method to Free
 And change Curtis Jenny(9)'s speed to 90
 And change Curtis Jenny(9)'s acceleration to 2
 And change Curtis Jenny(9)'s method to Seek
 And change Curtis Jenny(9)'s method obj to 1
 And do nothing
 And do nothing
 And do nothing

I think the point of this next event is obvious.  Since I used a collision
window, I couldn't just set the planes to COLLIDEABLE and EXPLODEABLE.

Event#2                 One Shot
If Curtis Jenny(9) hits Curtis Jenny(1)
 And nothing
 And nothing
Then explode Curtis Jenny(1)
 And explode Curtis Jenny(9)
 And play 'Explosion#7' on chan 1, vol= 4.
 And do nothing
 And do nothing
 And do nothing
 And do nothing
 And do nothing

In this version of the set, you are now flying the chase plane.  It is up
to you to hit the other plane.  I didn't provide a lot of twists and turns
in this one either since I am flying with a mouse temporarily, and it is
hard to do a smooth bank with a mouse on my PC.  You could use events to
program the pursued aircraft to bank and turn and pitch up or down to look
like it's trying to get away from you.  That would add some realism to the
stunt.  It's up to you how you want that to look, just experiment a little
with events and collision windows.

I just threw in one event to make the lead Jenny pitch up a little as you
pursue it.  You could take this example a lot farther and really make the
Jenny twist and turn to get away.

Event#1                 One Shot
If 1 seconds have elapsed
 And nothing
 And nothing
Then change Curtis Jenny(9)'s heading pitch to 2
 And change Curtis Jenny(9)'s heading pitch anim to 2
 And wait 3 seconds
 And change Curtis Jenny(9)'s heading pitch to 0
 And change Curtis Jenny(9)'s heading pitch anim to 0
 And do nothing
 And do nothing
 And do nothing

Event#2                 One Shot
If Curtis Jenny(9) hits Fokker DR.1(1)
 And nothing
 And nothing
Then play 'Explosion#7' on chan 1, vol= 4.
 And do nothing
 And do nothing
 And do nothing
 And do nothing
 And do nothing
 And do nothing
 And do nothing

Stunt Island Tutorial #6: Making A Car Turn A Corner
----------------------------------------------------

In response to the multiple requests we get about making a car turn a corner,
I have prepared this tutorial.  The portion you are concerned with is really
only the first part, the rest was added to create a short .FLM to go with it!
I hope this helps those of you doing driving stunts!

For the complete .SET file and a short film made from this set, please
download DRIVING.ZIP from any of the information services listed in
Appendix E that provide download capabilities.

As the limo performs each of the following events, it will appear to turn
along the road to LAX.

This first event tells the limo to make a 90 degree turn to the right.

Event#1                 One Shot
If Limousine #2(10) hits 00060X00060(11)
 And nothing
 And nothing
Then change Limousine #2(10)'s yaw anim to 90
 And change Limousine #2(10)'s heading yaw anim to 90
 And do nothing
 And do nothing
 And do nothing
 And do nothing
 And do nothing
 And do nothing

This event was kind of a pain, since I had to adjust the position of Prop
#12 until the car made the full turn.  You could actually have better results
if you used a time statement to wait long enough for the car to have turned 90
degrees, and then perform everything in the THEN stement.

I had a slight problem getting the car straight after the turn, so since it
was heading north anyway, I just changed it's HEADING YAW and YAW to 0 which
is due north in Stunt Island.  That made the car appear to drive straight.

Event#2                 One Shot
If Limousine #2(10) hits 00060X00060(12)
 And nothing
 And nothing
Then change Limousine #2(10)'s yaw anim to 0
 And change Limousine #2(10)'s heading yaw anim to 0
 And change Limousine #2(10)'s heading yaw to 0
 And change Limousine #2(10)'s yaw to 0
 And do nothing
 And do nothing
 And do nothing
 And do nothing

These next three events cause the limo to make the slightly more complex turn
towards the terminal.  Since this turn is a radius, rather than a corner, I
placed collision windows at point along the curve and made the limo turn
as smoothly as I could.  I think it looks pretty good.

Again, in Event 5 I had trouble getting the car straight, so I simply changed
the Heading Yaw and Yaw to 270, which was the new direction for the limo.

Event#3                 One Shot
If Limousine #2(10) hits 00060X00060(13)
 And nothing
 And nothing
Then change Limousine #2(10)'s yaw anim to -50
 And change Limousine #2(10)'s heading yaw anim to -50
 And do nothing
 And do nothing
 And do nothing
 And do nothing
 And do nothing
 And do nothing

Event#4                 One Shot
If Limousine #2(10) hits 00060X00060(14)
 And nothing
 And nothing
Then change Limousine #2(10)'s yaw anim to 0
 And change Limousine #2(10)'s heading yaw anim to 0
 And do nothing
 And do nothing
 And do nothing
 And do nothing
 And do nothing
 And do nothing

Event#5                 One Shot
If Limousine #2(10) hits 00060X00060(15)
 And nothing
 And nothing
Then change Limousine #2(10)'s yaw anim to -80
 And change Limousine #2(10)'s heading yaw anim to -80
 And wait 0.6 seconds
 And change Limousine #2(10)'s heading yaw to 270
 And change Limousine #2(10)'s heading yaw anim to 0
 And change Limousine #2(10)'s yaw anim to 0
 And change Limousine #2(10)'s yaw to 270
 And do nothing

This event was for my movie, but demonstrates a neat principal.  I needed the
limo to slow down and stop in front of the terminal.  The car is travelling
at 60 Mph throughout the stunt.  So, I used this event to tell the limo that
when it hits the collision window in Prop Slot 16, to start slowing down by
10 miles per second.  Then, after six seconds, I simply change SPEED and
ACCELERATION to 0 and I get a nice smooth slowdown and stop right in front of
the terminal.  I figured the placement of the collision window by trail and
error.

Event#6                 One Shot
If Limousine #2(10) hits 00060X00060(16)
 And nothing
 And nothing
Then change Limousine #2(10)'s acceleration to -10
 And wait 6 seconds
 And change Limousine #2(10)'s acceleration to 0
 And change Limousine #2(10)'s speed to 0
 And set flag #1 to 1
 And do nothing
 And do nothing
 And do nothing

These events were just for my film.

Event#7                 One Shot
If 1 seconds have elapsed
 And flag #1 = 1
 And nothing
Then change Bad Guy(17)'s visibility to 1
 And change Bad Guy(17)'s yaw anim to 1
 And wait 3 seconds
 And change Bad Guy(17)'s yaw to 0
 And change Bad Guy(17)'s speed to 3
 And change Camera#1(6)'s watch obj to 17
 And do nothing
 And do nothing

Event#8                 One Shot
If Bad Guy(17) hits 00030X00030(18)
 And nothing
 And nothing
Then change Bad Guy(17)'s heading yaw to 359
 And change Bad Guy(17)'s heading yaw anim to -1
 And wait 3 seconds
 And kill Bad Guy(17)
 And change Camera#1(6)'s watch obj to 1
 And do nothing
 And do nothing
 And do nothing

This should give you some ideas on how to make a vehicle turn.  It all has to
do with two features, Heading Yaw Animation and Yaw Animation.  By figuring
the types of angles you are turning at, aand the speed you are going to turn
at you can make any object appear to turn smoothly and realistically!  I hope
this has helped!  Good luck!

I have the missile attatched to the A-10 just below it's left wing.
You need to use an Event to change the missile to SEEK the
Hawk in prop slot 9.

Prop #10
Prop Name       :Sidewinder
Method          :Attach         Method Object       :1

Locked          :Off            Placed              :On

Here is my event to control the flight of the missile.  After I have fired
40 shots from my guns, the missile is fired.  I change it's METHOD to
SEEK, and it's METHOD OBJECT to 9, the Hawk.  In order to get a
fairly realistic looking launch, I had to increase the missile's speed
to 1000, and have it accelerate by 200 miles per second.  I let it do
this for 3 seconds to reach 1600 Mph, and then I stop the accelleration.

Event#1                 One Shot
If weapon count = 40
 And nothing
 And nothing
Then change Sidewinder(10)'s method to Seek
 And change Sidewinder(10)'s method obj to 9
 And change Sidewinder(10)'s speed to 1000
 And change Sidewinder(10)'s acceleration to 200
 And play 'Missile Fire' on chan 1, vol= 4.
 And wait 3 seconds
 And change Sidewinder(10)'s acceleration to 0
 And change Sidewinder(10)'s speed to 1600

This one makes it all go BOOM!

Event#2                 One Shot
If Sidewinder(10) hits Hawk(9)
 And nothing
 And nothing
Then explode Hawk(9)
 And explode Sidewinder(10)
 And play 'Explosion#7' on chan 1, vol= 4.
 And do nothing
 And do nothing
 And do nothing
 And do nothing
 And do nothing

Good luck!  I hope this helps!

Tutorial #8: Making Cameras Pan Around Objects

Some users on GENIE were wondering about how to get a camera to pan around
another object while it's moving.  Here is their solution, I took some
liberties in order to demonstrate the idea here, but the credit goes to
Tod Hagan (T.HAGAN) of GEnie.

This is the camera that will pan around the Stuka as it flies.  The key to
doing this is to set your camera to SPOT the STUKA (or whatever object you
want filmed).  Once you have it positioned for the proper view, then
press the ANIM button and adjust the OFFSET YAW ANIM setting to make the
camera yaw around the aircraft at the distance you set it from the aircraft.
This provides a nice effect for a film.

Keith Heitmann's Tutorial #1
----------------------------

A Simple Stunt Island Tutorial:

If you are like me and new to Stunt Island, you are more than likely a bit
bewildered with the complexity of the program and are itching to create your
own sets. However, you are probably having a few difficulties understanding
exactly how to make props behave the way you would like them to.

For me, it was a problem of making a prop that was in motion turn a 90 degree
corner smoothly. Unfortunately, the manual isn't much help on actual "how
to's" beyond the one example they show and it didn't have any moving props
except for the Bonanza you flew. Even animating the one police car answered
this simple question.

After some experimentation and multiple tries, I've finally accomplished this
simple task and will endevour to pass this information along to you all with
informaton that I learned in the process. I will explain, to the best of my
ability, how the settings I use work and why they work that way in layman's
terms.

For this tutorial, I will be making on A-10 taxi a short distance, turn slowly
90 degrees to the left, taxi further and then turn another 90 degrees to the
left, wait three seconds, begin to roll down the runway, accelerating, and
then at a set point I will have the plane take off and continue to climb at
a steady speed. The plane you as the "user" will be in will actually be plane
number 2 behind this computer controlled prop so you can observe the action.
There will be seven cameras used for this simple set. Also several collision
windows will be set and sound effects will be used throughout.

The setup:

Global setting left untouched and all set for defaults.

That is it for the props. Now before I go any further, I'll describe the
general setup given in the prop settings.

The set takes place at the western end of the island at the large airport.
Props #12 and #1, the A-10s, will be at the western end of runway 9 Left
facing 270 degrees West, with prop #12 ahead of prop #1 by a short distance.
A sphere has been attached to the nose of the lead A-10, prop #12. The Offset
yaw of 180 degrees turns the direction 180 degrees in the opposite direction
when you start adding to the DISTANCE setting. This moves the sphere to the
left (270) instead of the right which would put the sphere at the tail
instead of the nose. The sphere doesn't actually have to be touching the
plane to work. However for finer control of the planes movement it should
touch the nose of the plane and setting the distance to 22 feet is a good
point to place the sphere on the nose of the lead A-10 (prop #12).

Since prop #1 (A-10) is controlled by you, no sphere is needed, but one could
be placed to trigger automatic events and sound effects. For this example and
tutorial I choose to leave it out for simplicity sake.

The sphere on attached to the nose of prop #12 will trigger some automatic
events that the computer will control such as turning, sound effects, and
the actual liftoff from the runway. The sphere has its collision setting ON.
If it did not it would be incapable of triggering the automatic events when
it collides with a collision window.

Prop #11 is the 120x120 collision window and is placed at mid-point of the
taxi way that runs north and south at the end of the two major runways. The
window is placed directly ahead of the two A-10s. It is set so that the
window faces the A-10s, a setting of 270 is used but 90 will work the same.
The window won't move, and is set to be invisible during the actual shooting
of the set. It will remain visible during the entire setup of the set we are
building.  The window has its collsions setting ON. This is required for
making automatic events and sounds occur by means of one of the events in
the event program when it is contacted by a selected prop that is also has
its collisions setting turned on. So remember to set the collision window's
and the prop that is going to contact that window collision settings to ON.

Prop #12 will begin to move forward at a heading of 270 degrees the direction
it is facing as soon as the take is begun. Since this prop is set for a
setting of FACE it will continue to move straight ahead in whatever direction
the prop is pointing. In this case the nose of the plane is consider the FACE
so it will move ahead at a heading of 270 degrees. It will not stop unless you
have it set to stop, explode, collides, or be killed off by its prop settings
and the events program. It will also react to a collision with a collision
window to carry out some other action that is set in the events program. Our
event program will have the aircraft turn to the left when it contacts the
collision window via the sphere that is attached to the nose of the A-10
(prop #12). The use of a sphere just ensures that a large enough object is
available to contact the collision window. One could more than likely just
set the A-10 itself for the collision and react with contact with the
collision window for this simple tutorial, but it is better to get used to
using spheres for such things so you have the experience of setting them up
for use in more detailed event programs.

Prop #14 is a 120x120 collision window that is place on the taxiway at the
west end of runway 9 right. It is set so that it is directly in the path any
aircraft that is on a heading of 180 (south) from the taxiway to the the
north of its position. The window is turned so that it has a yaw of 180, but
a yaw of 360 could be used. This window is place at a point that intersects
the middle of runway 9 right, so when the plane collides with this window,
the A-10 (prop #12) will make a left turn again and line itself up on the
center stripe of runway 9 right.

Prop #15 is a 500x500 collision window. This prop is a bit oversized, but it
makes it easy for a plane that is slightly off the mark to still collide with
it. It is placed just short of the white dots on the west end of runway 9
right. When prop #12 hits this window, it will come to a halt, wait a few
seconds, as if doing a last second check and getting takeoff clearance, then
it will accelerate down the runway with the appropriate sound effects.

Prop #16 is another 500x500 collision window. This prop is placed about 1/2
way down the runway giving prop #12 a good takeoff run down the runway before
the next action is to take place. When prop #12 hits this window it will
change it pitch and lift off the runway and trigger other things in the event
program.

You in prop #1 can taxi along behind #12. You will start the take withou any
power and a speed of zero. You should wait until the lead A-10 makes its turn
at the end of your runway and is heading south before you start engines.  To
maintain a safe distance, tap the plus key '+' three times. This should give
you a speed of 12 mph for a nice slow but easily controlled taxi. Make your
turns and get positioned behind the lead A-10. Hit your brakes and wait. When
the lead A-10 goes, hit zero '0' and release the brakes.

That is the general action that will take place during this set/take. All the
actions of the lead A-10 will be completely controlled by the functions of
the collision windows, the sphere, and the events program.

We'll get into the events program a bit later on, but first I'll discuss the
cameras just a bit. Prop #1, while it is not actually a "camera" it does have
recording capability.  It will be #1 on the camera deck in the editing room.
This view is the pilots view of the second A-10 in this tutorial.

Prop #2 is the spotter plane view and #2 on the camera deck in the editing
room.  Normally this starts out behind the user's vehicle, prop #1. You can
change the angle of the view by changing the altitude, yaw, and pitch. This
angle can also be changed manually durin flight, but pressing F6 and then
moving the mouse or joystick around to a new viewing angle. This new angle
will be recorded as it is being moved so be gentle!

Prop #3 is a camera this tutorial is setup to ride above and behind prop #12
the lead A-10 like a spotter plane for that prop. It will follow along
directly behind that prop and remain in position as the prop moves along the
ground and in the air. It is camera three in the editing room.

Prop #4 is another camera, that is set in a fixed position at an altitude of
31 feet above the ground at the west end of runway 9 right, the runway to the
south of the one you and prop #12 start on. This camera is setup to WATCH
prop #12. It will focus on the lead A-10 as the take starts and follow it
through the first turn and its second and all the way down the runway and
into the air. This prop will not move. It is camera fourin the editing room.

Prop #5 is a camera setup at the west end of runway 9 left. However, it is
set in a position to the north of the end of that runway instead of directly
at the end of 9 left. It is set to WATCH prop #12 and will follow the plane
through its first turn at a closer angle and then watch it through the rest
of the take from that fixed position. This will be camera number five on the
deck in the editing room.

Prop #6 is a camera place halfway down runway 9 right, the takeoff runway,
near prop #16 the last collision window.  It will be too far away to actually
see prop #12 at the start of the take, but it will follow its progress as the
plane goes through its paces. It's main purpose is to catch the lead A-10,
prop #12, as it takes off so you can see how the collison window works at
this point. It too is fixed and will not move except to pan along as prop
#12 streaks past it on the runway and into the air. It will be camera number
six on the deck in the editing room.

Prop #7 is set to WATCH prop #1, your plane. It is set at a point out ahead
and looking back at your plane. This camera will move with your plane as it
taxis, rolls down the runway, and finally takes off. It will be camera number
seven on the deck in the editing room.

Now that we have all the props and cameras placed and I've given you an idea
of what is going to happen in general terms, we are ready to make it come to
life via the event programmer.

This will not be a very complex program, so don't worry.  I'm not that
advanced in this program myself just yet.  No doubt there will be other ways
of accomplishing the same things I explain in my event program for this set.
I don't claim this is the only way to do it, but it is the way that I did it
to make it work for me.

The trickiest part of this whole set for me was getting the lead A-10 to make
its turns at the proper point and end up where I wanted it to be. I was having
problems with getting the plane to make its 90 degree turn. I kept playing
around with yaw, yaw anim, heading yaw, heading anim yaw settings without
much luck. So I went back to the drawing board, and changed the lead A-10s
method to FACE instead of FREE. At least with a setting of FACE the plane
would head in the direction it was pointed instead of sliding off sideways
to the North as I was experiencing previously. The next trick was finding a
way to make it turn the required angle and head down the taxiway at the west
end of the two runways.  I tried using several methods and only two worked. I
have incorporated both methods in this tutorial so you can see for yourself
how they work and what they look like. One method looks much nicer than the
other.

I originally used one method for both turns but they were rather "choppy" in
appearance. I played with the anim yaw setting, but ended up with a plane
that spun around in place in a flat spin without heading south on the taxi
way. I had to figure out how to get the plane to turn then stop turning and
then head south. I'll get get into that in moment.

The first method, was simply a matter of having prop #12 run into the
collision window with its attached sphere and then simply turn 90 degrees
and head south. This worked, but the plane didn't look natural, because it
spun so quickly in place.

I used a line in my event program that orginally looked like this:

IF 00120x00120(11) hits Sphere 00006r(13)
THEN change A10 Thunderbolt(12)'s yaw to 180

I used a similar line to make the plane turn left again on to runway 9 right
when it hit the second collision window.  Not very natural or asthetically
pleasing. So I tried a different method. Instead of having the plane turn all
90 degrees at once, I broke it into two segments of 45 degrees.

To make the plane turn in two segments I changed the event to read:

IF 00120x00120(11) hits Sphere 00006r(13)
THEN change A10 Thunderbolt(12)'s yaw to 220
AND WAIT 1 seconds
AND change A10 Thunderbolt(12)'s yaw to 180

Better but still too choppy and too fast and it didn't look natural at all.
So if two was better then I reasoned three should be best. I changed the
event to:

IF 00120x00120(11) hits Sphere 00006r(13)
THEN change A10 Thunderbolt(12)'s yaw to 230
AND WAIT 1 seconds
AND change A10 Thunderbolt(12)'s yaw to 200
AND WAIT 1 seconds
AND change A10 Thunderbolt(12)'s yaw to 180

Again, it was better but not smooth like one would expect. And the turns were
still pretty abrupt.

I tried playing with the heading anim yaw and others, but ran into the
spinning plane problem. But then I finally figured it out, or at least a
method that I found to work for me and I thought looked good.

I changed the event to read:

IF 00120x00120(11) hits Sphere 00006r(13)
THEN wait 1 seconds
THEN change A10 Thunderbolt(12)'s yaw anim to -45
AND WAIT 1.4 seconds
AND change A10 Thunderbolt(12)'s yaw anim to 0
AND WAIT 1 seconds
AND change A10 Thunderbolt(12)'s yaw anim to -45
AND WAIT 0.5 seconds
AND change A10 Thunderbolt(12)'s yaw anim to 0

This is EVENT #1 in your event program. This event waits for the collision
window directly ahead of the lead A-10 to contact the sphere attached to its
nose. This triggers the event timer to wait 1 second, then turn prop #12,
the A-10, to turn to the left (indicated by the minus sign) 45 degrees. It
waits one point four tenths seconds and makes the yaw anim 0 degrees. This
stops the spin. Then it waits one second and turns the plane to the left
another 45 degrees for one half second to complete the turn. The number of
seconds was adusted to make the plane end up centered in the taxiway heading
directly south. It took a few attempts of trial and error to get the correct
value to use for the delays. The placement of the collision window itself
will play a major roll in determining how much delay to include with the
WAIT command. These are the values that I found to work the best for me in
this tutorial.

Now that we have event one programmed for a nice smooth turn, we'll use the
older cruder method for the turn at the second collision window so you can
see for yourself how it looks in comparison.

Event #2:

IF 00120x00120(14) hits Sphere 00006r(13)
THEN change A10 Thundebolt(12)'s yaw to 155
AND WAIT 1 seconds
AND change A10 Thundebolt(12)'s yaw to 120
AND WAIT 1 seconds
AND change A10 Thundebolt(12)'s yaw to 90

This even will turn the aircraft in the lead position from the its heading
south on the taxiway at the west end of runway 9 right onto the runway at a
position that should line it up on the center line of the runway itself. It
will roll forward until it hits the next collision window at a point just
beyond the multiple stripes and runway number and just before the small white
hold position spots on the west end of runway 9 right. This collision window
is prop #15.

Event #3:

IF 00120x00120(15) hits Sphere 00006r(13)
THEN change A10 Thundebolt(12)'s speed to 0
AND WAIT 3 seconds
AND change A10 Thundebolt(12)'s acceleration to 5
AND play 'Taxiing Jet #2' on chan 1, vol=3.
AND WAIT 5 seconds
AND play 'Jet Idle' on chan 1, vol=3, and loop.

This event stops the prop #12, the lead A-10, at a point just at the hold
spots on the runway for 3 seconds to simulate a last second check before
takeoff. The plane's acceration code is set to 5, which will increase the
speed of the plane at 5 mph per second as it rolls down the runway. At the
same time, the sound effect is played to simulate the jet engines spooling up
to full power for takeoff on channel 1, but at volume 3, because the sound
should be muted a bit because you are observing it from inside your cockpit.
After letting the sound effect of the jet engine screaming to life runs for 5
seconds, the sound effect is switch to one that I prefer to use for all jets
running down the runway or in flight, since it is a steady sound without fade-
ins or fade-outs. Again it is muted by using volume level 3 and set to LOOP
for a continous sound.  You will also note that all prop #12 sounds are fed
through channel 1, your aircraft sounds is simulated by another event on
channel 2. This gives you overlapping sound effects.

Now that prop #12 is on its way down the runway, we just have to make it
liftoff the runway.

To get the plane off the runway once it reaches the right spot, we have to
program event #4.

Event #4:

IF 00500x00500(16) hits Sphere 00006r(13)
THEN play 'Jet Takeoff #2' on chan 1, vol= 2.
AND change A10 Thunderbolt(12)'s speed to 230
AND change A10 Thunderbolt(12)'s pitch anim to 5
AND change A10 Thunderbolt(12)'s heading pitch to 5
AND play 'Jet Idle' on chan 1, vol= 2, and loop.
AND wait 3 seconds
AND change A10 Thunderbolt(12)'s pitch anim to 0
AND change A10 Thunderbolt(12)'s heading pitch to 0

This event waits for the leadig A-10 to hit the collision window halfway down
the runway.  When it does, the takeoff sound effect is played on channel 1 at
a low volume, since this plane is at a distance from you now. The planes
speed is set to 230 mph at this point. The planes graphics are set to change
direction in +5 degree climb and its path in the direction of its travel is
also increased by +5 degrees to get the plane off the runway and climing into
the air.

This pitch slowly increases by +5 degrees, to stop this from becoming a loop
at the far end of the runway, you must wait a short period of time (3 seconds
here) then change the two settings to zero '0'. This will keep the plane in
a steeper climbout than it took off at but it will prevent the plane from
going into a complete loop. The plane will continue to climb out towards the
east and clear the mountain peak at the east end of runway 9 right with a
margin to spare.

Now all we need to do is give your plane and the prop #12 some sound when the
take starts to simulate taxiing planes.  This is handled in event #5.

Event #5:

IF 0.2 seconds have elapsed
THEN play 'Taxiing Jet #1' on chan 1, vol= 3, and loop.
AND play 'Jet Idle' on chan 2, vol= 1, and loop.

The first sound supplies the jet engine sounds for the lead A10 while it
taxiis to the takeoff window, where a new sound will be played by event #3.
The sound on channel two will be muted because you are listening to your own
engine through your cockpit and sounds behind you tend to be a bit softer
anyway.

That's it folks all done! I hope this explains how some of the things work in
the set designer. If I make any more discoveries I may do another tutorial in
the future. You should be able to duplicate this entire set and get identical
results. I hope this helps someone.

Stunt Island Tutorial #2 - Making a guided weapon:

In this simple tutorial I'll explain how to make a guided
weapon, in this case a missile fired by your plane. The
fired missile will lock on and track the target aircraft,
which is a Tupolev Tu-95 "Bear". There is one limitation
added to this tutorial and that is that you must be beyond
a certain fixed point roughly halfway between the two
starting points before you can fire your weapon.
I'll try to explain all these following steps in layman's
terms so they are easy to follow and understand. I'll also
point out a couple of options that you can incorporate
yourself to automate things just a bit and a couple of
options you have for determining the firing range.

Both aircraft start offshore of the large airport near
the west part of the island. Since these are the major
props these are visible, and collision is turned on
for both of these props. The sphere is attached to the
Tu-95 (prop#12) and will serve to trigger the event
program when the missile (prop#20) strikes it at any
point. The sphere's visibility is turned off so it is not
seen or filmed. However, it remains visible in the set
designer at all times. All cameras have their visibility
turned off as do the two collision windows, since these
are merely production tools and not something you want
to actually see in the finished process.

You may have noticed that the missile (prop#20) has most
its settings at the bottom turned "off", i.e., visibility,
collision, explode.  All except the shadow. This is so the
missile remains invisible until fired. It also prevents it
from exploding from having contact with your fighter. An
explosion won't hurt your plane, since it is not set to
explode in the event program nor in its own settings, but
having the missile explode as the take starts removes it
from use and spoils the cameral shots of your fighter.
The shadow is left on, so that when fired it will have a
shadow, but since the missile is pretty well hidden by
your plane its shadow is hidden by the shadow of your own
plane before it is fired.

The next thing you will note is that there is a collision
window (prop#11) actually attached to your aircraft! The
reason for this is to intercept those "stupid" missiles
fired by your plane when the weapons selector is set to
fire missiles. Although I didn't try it, it may even do
the same thing for the guns. This effectively makes them
harmless. Placing this collision window where I did, keeps
the "stupid" missiles from assuming a normal flight path
ahead of your plane. All you will see is a flash when they
are fired. This is due to the fact that they are detonating
on the attached collision window. As specified by one of
the events in the event program. This flash can also be
used to enhance the illusion of your "smart" missile being
fired.

Prop #13 is the second collison window, 18000x18000 in size.
This window determines if the F-16 has approached within
the specified distance you want the user to be at before
he can successfully launch his missile. This collision
between this window and the F-16 is checked for in the
event program. Any attempt to fire the weapons before you
contact this window results in a failure.

The second collision window (prop#13) is stationary.
For a more sophisticated method you can attach a huge
sphere to either plane, and when the sphere contacts
the opposite plane in the tutorial it allows you to
fire weapons succussfully. Spheres do to their nature
are not a good choice for realism however. Since a
sphere is round it allows you to make contact at
any angle. You could actually be above the target plane
and be allowed to fire a weapon successfully. A better
and more reailist prop to use would be a huge
collision window attached to your plane, much like prop
#11 is attach to your plane, but in this case this
window would be placed at a distance from your plane,
say at maximum distance allowed 999 feet. This window
would be set to collide, but not be visible and no
shadow. It would be place ahead of your plane, so that
you would actually would have to be facing the target
plane before you could fire. 999 feet is a bit close
though, so a second prop could be used. As described above
a huge sphere could be placed around the target plane.
The radius of the sphere if it is big enough and the
distance the collision window is from your plane would
give you a more realistic distance to fire from. The
use of the sphere would allow the fixed collision window
to make contact with it from any angle, while the window
itself would limit you to facing the target. An event
would have to be programmed that checked for a collision
between the window and the sphere and allow the firing
of the missile, either by setting a flag or modifying one.
As stated, I kept the actual setup simple and did not
use these methods. I also kept the event program simple
by not having the program check to see if the plane was
facing the target when the missile if fired. With this
tutorial, the event program only checks to make sure that
you contacted the fixed window at least one time. If you
have then you can fire your missile even if you are not
heading for the target.  However, the missile, prop#20,
will only "seek" in the direction it is facing when
launched, so in a sense you do have to face the target
aircraft in order to destroy it. Props set to "seek" will
head in the direction they are facing and then when
arriving at the sought prop it will circle it endlessly.
So you have to "kill" the missile after you set it to
explode on the target, and the target will have to be
set to "kill" after being struck. I tried using just
"explode" and the Tu-95 still remained in view after the
explosion.

Event program:

Event#1                 One Shot
If AIM-7 Sparrow(20) hits Sphere 00075r(16)
 And nothing
 And nothing
Then explode Tupolev 142 Bear(12)
 And change Sphere 00075r(16)'s method to Free
 And play 'Explosion#7' on chan 2, vol= 4.
 And kill AIM-7 Sparrow(20)
 And wait 5 seconds
 And fade to 0%
 And finish - success

This event checks to see if the sphere attached to the
target and the missile (prop#20) have collided. It then
explodes the target prope, plays an explosion, and kills
the graphic of the missile. It then waits 5 seconds, fades
to black and exits to a success message.

Event#2                 One Shot
If weapon count = 1
 And nothing
 And nothing
Then change AIM-7 Sparrow(20)'s visibility to 1
 And change AIM-7 Sparrow(20)'s speed to 1500
 And play 'Missile Fire' on chan 2, vol= 4.
 And wait 2 seconds
 And change AIM-7 Sparrow(20)'s method to Seek
 And change AIM-7 Sparrow(20)'s method obj to 12
 And change AIM-7 Sparrow(20)'s collideability to 1

This even checks the weapon count to see if a weapon
has been fired. If it has it changes the weapon's
visibility to ON, changes the speed of the weapon to
1500 mph, plays the weapon firing sound, waits two
seconds to change it from an "attach" to a "seek" prop
to enable it to find the target aircraft on its own,
which is set in the following line with the method obj
line, and then it finally sets its collideability to "on"
so it can actually collide with the sphere around the
target plane. This event is what makes the missile
"smart".

Event#3                 One Shot
If Any Weapon hits 00060X00020(11)
 And nothing
 And nothing
Then kill 1st Object

This event's only purpose is to check for any weapon hitting
that attached collision window to your aircraft. This is what
kills the "stupid" missiles as they are fired and gives you
the "flash" effect as they explode.

Event#4                 One Shot
If 18000X18000(13) hits F16C Falcon(1)
 And nothing
 And nothing
Then set flag #1 to 1

This event's purpose is to check to see if the Falcon has
hit the large collision window and sets a flag to 1 if it
has. Flag 1 doesn't actually do anything, but something
was needed in the THEN spot.

Event#5                 One Shot
If weapon count = 1
 And event #4 hasnt happened
 And nothing
Then set flag #0 to 0
 And finish - too early

This is the event that cuts to a failure message when you
fire a weapon before you reach the large collision window
in event 4.

This simple tutorial did not take into account the use of
guns instead of missile, but I suspect that it will
function in the same manner as the event program makes no
distinction between missiles and guns. I'm not even sure
that the missile (prop#20) won't fire when you select
guns. More event programming will have to be incorporated
should you desire that the guns not be used, but it is
nothing that I'm going to go into here and now.

Well, that's it for this little tutorial. I kept it pretty
simple, and it may have a number of holes like I explained
but my main purpose was to show you how to get a weapon to
seek out a specified target. Camera angles can also be
triggered by the collision windows as long as you don't
choose "NO" when asked if you want use autoedit when you
start Stunt Island. I hope this helps someone out.

Chapter 8: Post Production - Editing and Special Effects
--------------------------------------------------------

CORRECTION TO PAGE 135; PARAGRAPH 4

When you use the Audio option to put audio on a segment of footage,
it actually places a single mark at the start of the marked footage,
rather than marking the entire footage with audio.  That's why you
can't start the mark for Audio at 00:00.00.  The program needs to
encounter the mark as the film runs, so that mark must occur no
sooner than 00:02.00 for it to be recognized.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

.ALL Files
----------

Let's take a look at .ALL files.  Most of the users of Stunt Island do not
seem to understand their function or importance.  If you import your own
VOC files into the program for sound effects, you need to use .ALL files.
If you want to share your films with other users, you need to use .ALL files.

Some users have taken to including their USERSND*.SMP files with their films
when they upload them so that other users can place these files in their
\STUNTISL\RES subdirectory to get the same sounds.  The problem with this
method is that potential viewers who don't own the program can't use the film
due to the lack of an .ALL file.  The second part of the problem is that users
will have to temporarily replace their own USERSND*.SMP files with yours every
time they want to see your film.

The purpose of the .ALL file is to hold all of the relevant sound effects and
resources related to your film.  It is mostly sound effects.  By creating an
.ALL file, you allow any user with the full program or just the player utility
to enjoy the film you worked so hard to put together in the way that you
intended it to be viewed.  There have been complaints from people who don't
want to buy the program, but would like to view your films.  They feel left
out.  The point of the film making aspect of the game is for you to be able
to share your films with other people who would like to see them, not to limit
it to those who already have the program.  Cmon, you owe it to your public,
make the .ALL file!

One suggestion if you are uploading to the Disney BBS.  If you have only used
default sounds included originally with the program, just upload the film and
tell me, and I will make the .ALL file.  That will save on some upload time!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Q: Can I add my own .VOC files and use them as sound effects in Stunt Island?
A: Yes.  Any .VOC file of less than 120K (122,880 bytes) can be imported into
   Stunt Island and used as a sound effect in your films via the ADDSOUND
   utility that was included with the program.

Q: I get a "Block Unreadable" message when I try to edit anything. Is this
   a bug?
A: First, make sure you have the section you are editing correctly marked.
   It must have a beginning and an end.  If the problem persists, please
   see the Customer Service section for information on what we need to know
   about your computer to research a bug, and then call us.

Q: I downloaded a .FLM from the Disney BBS, and when I run it in the program
   I get sound effects from my USER Sound file that are not supposed to be in
   the film.
A: A lot of people are missing the point here.  We give you the ability to
   import your own sound effects into Stunt Island so you are not limited
   to the hundreds of sounds we supplied.  You can use your sound effects
   in your films, but if you want others to hear them you need to create an
   .ALL file to go with your film.  To do this, you must run your .FLM file
   through the MAKEONE utility.  This procedure will slowly run the entire
   film through the process of creating the .ALL file.  The film will appear
   to run very slowly, and sounds will seem off their marks, don't worry,
   this is normal!  The program must do this in order to record your digital
   sound effects into the .ALL file, so others can hear them.  We realize
   that the .ALL files are quite large, but if you want others to hear your
   sounds, you must use them.  Once you have the .ALL file and the .FLM file
   you can upload them to any BBS that you want, and others can download them
   and play them in PLAYONE, which is the player utility we included with
   the program.  If you were to play a film that has sound effects from a
   USER Sound file in the theatre of Stunt Island, you would hear sound
   effects from your own USER sound files.

Q: When I play my films in the MAKEONE utility, the timing of all my sound
   effects and music is off, how come?
A: The MAKEONE utility is used to create the <filmname>.ALL files that hold
   all of the resources for your finished films.  This utility does not alter
   your edited film in any way, it merely stores necessary system resources
   like your sounds and music in the .ALL file so that you don't have to
   distribute the huge sound libraries with your finished films.  Once you
   have completed the MAKEONE step, view your film with PLAYONE, and you will
   see it as you originally created it in the Editing room.

Q: I have finished editing my film, but I don't know how to save it to a .FLM
   file.  What do I do?
A: In the editing room, at the bottom of Deck #2, you will see a button called
   PRINT.  Click on this button to bring up the save file requester, and you
   can now save your film to a finished .FLM file.

Do NOT download this file unless you don't own Stunt Island and need to
use the viewer. This is just the .ALL file for BACKSTB1.ZIP. Hope you
have a 9600 baud modem. Sorry it's so big but the film is 20 minutes
long - which is about how long it'll take you to download it at 9600
baud. Remember, you can view BACKSTB1.ZIP in the theater and make your
own .ALL file if you own the Stunt Island program.

    Here's my first film attempt and it is very simple, but original
since I haven't seen any other films like it. In it a bigfoot sorta
kills a car. Runs only about 11 seconds and is so small its definitely
worth the download.

feature is that there is no flying - proving that you can make a film
without flying something. It's all done with event scripts.

Well this is my fim opus. It was created from mostly all original sets.
The challenge was to try to sustain a kind of complex story line using
mostly visuals and as little text as possible. Stunt Island is great for
pretending to be Frans Ford Coppola for a couple of hours every now and
then...

This is the fifth tutorial for the SIUPDATE newsletter.  This was suggested
by Carlos Ribas on Prodigy.  He wanted to know how to make an aircraft seek
out and collide with another aircraft.  Here are two possible (and simple)
solutions.  You can expand on these further to achieve the results you
require.

This was done by one of our testers when he was bored with the regular beta
testing regimen.  There is also an exclusive featurette at the end of this
film called "Farmstorming" that I think you will all enjoy!  Look for a
sequel called "Farm Air Warriors" soon!  -SYSOP-

This file contains a new INSTALL.EXE for Stunt Island that allows you to
install the program without the usual auto-detect sequence that checks
your system hardware configuration.  This was causing lockups on some
systems and the game could not be installed.  This file and the
directions included will help you get past that and get the game
installed!

A visitor from outer space comes to Earth and receives a warm welcome.
In other words, what we got here are some really good special effects, a
UFO, and the military trying to toast this little guy. Requires
PLAYONE.EXE to view as some of the sound effects came from a private
collection. By Lance Micklus, running time about 3 minutes.

Appendix F: The Future of SIUPDATE
----------------------------------

Items to be added to this SIUPDATE at some point in the future.

1. Information of how to program a plane to hunt you down and blow you out
   of the sky.
   (This has been delayed again due to an incredible amount of difficulty
    in designing this .SET - I hope to have it soon, I will most likely
    send it out as a separate addendum to this version of SIUPDATE)
2. Lengths of music and sound effects.
   (This is another one of those HUGE projects that just doesn't seem to
    fit into my schedule.  I have to do charts for AdLib and Digital Sounds,
    as well as all the Roland Sounds.  This one will take some more time,
    sorry!)
