- LandWar - Chapter 1
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
- A scenario for Electronic Arts' US Navy Fighters

-
- FINALLY!
-
- A new group of missions designed to exploit the new-found ability to fly any
- aircraft in Electronic Arts' US Navy Fighters!
-
- -Tired of fighting those Fulcrums? How about driving one?
-
- -Same old planes got you down? Try an Eagle, or maybe a Foxhound!
-
- -Do tanks really bug you? Try hitting them in a Warthog!
-
- This new set of twelve missions is the first chapter in LandWar, a new scenario
- following the "dirtier" war.
-
- If a Navy fighter pilot buys the farm, at least he has got a warm meal in his
- belly and a decent night's sleep. But now, the Joint Chiefs think it would
- be a good idea to capitalize on the tense situation in Ukraine and train an
- elite group of pilots to be proficient in Navy, Air Force, and Russian
- aircraft. Of course, this means you have to leave the Ike and hoof it to a
- land base. Just like the brochures...travel, new people, new food. But did
- you really count on war breaking out? No formal check out before flying a
- new plane? Flying old bombers?
-
- Now, you are only one step ahead of an advancing Russian juggernaught. Got
- the guts to help the Ukrainian people defend their homeland?
-

- Player's Introduction
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- Copy the mission files (*.m) and mission text files (*.mt) to your USNF
- directory. Play the missions from the Play Single Missions button, not
- the Mission Builder.
-
- The storyline will assume the appropriate characters and planes survive, so
- try to keep 'em breathing!
-
- Follow the directions in the misison explicitly Hey, if you have to cheat,
- maybe you're not the hotshot pilot you thought you were...
-
- Two more points. First, at MiG Eater1's suggestion, I play at -33%
- magnification. This makes it less claustrophobic and is more realistic.
- Second, there is a known bug with the flaps. When the flaps are down, the
- Flight Path Indicator does not work accurate.
-
- The only "payment" I require is that you give me feedback at the above
- e-mail address. Things you liked, hated, thought were too hard or easy,
- vegetarian recipies, whatever.
-
- Feel free to copy this group of programs without charge as long as the
- original files remain unaltered. (i.e. don't add your own "enhancements")
-
- I hope you enjoy. Chapter 2 will be out as soon as I finish it!
