- In answer to the question is it flyable?? Yes, the Gunship 2000 demo
- is flyable, but remember you are using helicopter controls instead of an
- airplane's. You use the arrows to control lift or altitude, you then have
- to lean the helicopter forward to gain forward motion. The more you lean
- the helicopter forward, the more air spill you have that pushes your craft
- forward. Just keep pushing forward, you won't nose dive, That is, unless you
- are flying in realistic mode. You just have to get that lean in, it's a
- function that is controlled by the hydraulics in a helicoptor. Warning!!
- If you lose hydraulics, you lose all the control you need to tilt the
- helicopter forward. If you lose hydraulics, all you can do is go up and
- down, up and down. Not very effective if you want to leave the place, eh?

- P.S. --- For those who missed the other posts, I will reitterate that
- the only version of Wing Commander is 16 color - crosshatched.
- This will appear to be 32 color when used with composite or RF
- output. Those with RGB monitors will see some cross hatching.
- That may annoy people a little during animation scenes until they
- get used to it. The in flight graphics are much easier to get
- used to since the cross hatching doesn't seem as apparent during
- those times.
