<p>Here's how to play the game straight away without having to read all of this manual beforehand.</p>
<p>Load the game, and after a little while, a pilots roster clipboard (shown below) will appear on screen. Click the <b>SELECT</b> (left) mouse button on one of the four pilots at the top of the clipboard.</p>
<p>Click the <b>ADJUST</b> (right) mouse button to skip the commander briefing sequence and select <b>TAKE OFF</b> from the <i>Operations Room</i> screen (in the bottom left hand corner). You will now be in your first plane. Hold down <b>SELECT </b> to increase the engine power to 100%. You will notice the needle in one of the large dials move clockwise, and an engine noise increasing in pitch.</p>
<p>Now release the wheel brakes by pressing <b>B</b>. The plane will start to move. Now press <b>F</b> to lower the flaps and wait for the plane to move faster. Once you've got a fair bit of speed, pull the mouse back and the plane will take off.</p>
<p>The other two mouse buttons, <b>MENU</b> (the middle button) and <b>ADJUST</b> will slow down the plane, and fire the gun or cannon.</p>
<p>There! Now you know how to take off and fly the plane. But to find out how to land it, read <b>Chapter 2 - The Game Structure</b> .</p>
