- |bFLIGHT CONTROLS|b
- Following are the keys you need to control your F-16's
- flight:
-
- J or <- Bank left L or -> Bank right
- I or Nose down M or Pull up
-
- These control keys are duplicated on the numeric keypad as
- well with the 4, 6, 8 and 2 keys.
-
- The following keys control your acceleration:
-
- + Increase throttle - Decrease throttle
- / Afterburner/Military power > Increase afterburner
- < Decrease afterburner stage stage
-
- It's to your advantage not to fly in afterburner while
- dogfighting because of the tendency to overshoot your
- target. Use afterburner only to increase to combat speed
- or to evade an enemy plane.
-
- |bWEAPON SELECTION AND FIRING|b
- Following are the keys to select and fire your weapons:
-
- Enter Select air-to-air weapons
- Backspace Select air-to-ground weapons
- Spacebar Fire selected weapon
- T Select new target (air-to-air/air-to-ground)
-
- On the joystick, one button controls weapons firing while
- the other button toggles through the various air-to-air
- weapons.
-
- In the demo version of Falcon 3.0, you have an unlimited
- amount of weapons.
-
- |bCOUNTERMEASURES|b
- If you see the LCK light (on the front view) or hear the
- missile lock tone, it means that an enemy plane has a
- missile lock on your F-16. There are three things you can
- do to avoid being shot down: drop flares, drop chaff or
- execute sharp maneuvers. You can drop flares or chaff by
- pressing the Ins or Del keys respectively.
-
- |bVIEWS|b
- These keys (on the top row of the keyboard) manipulate how
- you can view the action:
-
- 1 Satellite view. From here, you can view your F-16 as if
- looking down from a satellite.
- 2 Ground view. This view is the opposite of the Satellite
- view. Here, you are looking at your F-16 from the
- ground.
- 3 Front view. This view accesses your Head-Up Display
- (HUD) and many other important instruments.
- 4 Left view. This view shows some secondary instruments.
- 5 Right view. This view shows your caution lights and an
- actual clock!
- 6 Rear view. This view gives you access to the rear of
- your plane (your "six").
- 8 Padlock view. This view gives you 360 degree targeting
- in a combat situation. See the FALCON3.DOC file for
- more info.
- 9 Track view. This outside view shows your plane from
- directly behind as if you were holding the plane out on
- a stick. The plane itself will not change direction or
- move, while the horizon and landscape will.
- 0 Chase plane view. This outside view is from the
- perspective of another plane "chasing" your F-16.
-
- The following keys are used in the Satellite, Ground, Track
- and Chase plane views:
-
- F1 Zoom in F2 Zoom out
- F3 Rotate X axis F4 Rotate Y axis
-
- If you hold down the Shift key with either the F3 or F4
- key, you will rotate the opposite direction. None of these
- views are very good for dogfighting because you will be
- unable to tell if you have achieved a missile lock on your
- enemy.
