- Basic Flight Training
- _____________________
-
- This simulator allows several different planes (with widely varying
- aerodynamics) to be flown, but the same principles described below, apply to
- more or less, all of them. It is recommended that as well as reading the
- information below, you view the various drawfiles included with the game
- that describe enemy and friendly forces.
-
- On entering the cockpit of your plane, you will see a view from the front
- of your plane, looking out of your hanger. You must first taxi out onto the
- runway, (which is at 90 degrees to the direction you are pointing) before
- you can take off. Press 4, for 40% power and you will slowly move towards
- the runway. Use <> (controlling the nose wheel steering) to turn left onto
- the runway, then press shift+ for full throttle. When at take off speed (see
- below) pull back the mouse to lift the front of the plane into the air. As
- long as you are going fast enough, the rear wheels will also leave the
- ground.
-
- Climb to over a 100 feet and raise the under carriage. Now fly level
- until you reach a suitable cruising speed, at which you will now be ready to
- fly your first manoeuvres.
-
- Turning the plane to the left or right, is done by first rolling the
- plane onto its side and then moving the mouse back to pull the plane to the
- side.
