- System Requirements
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- Two versions of SWIV appear on this CD, a Windows95
- native version and a DOS version. The Windows95 version
- uses DirectX (See Below) - if you have problems with
- the DirectX drivers, we suggest you try the DOS version
- as this will run fine in a Windows95 DOS Box.
-
- For Windows95 run INSTALL.EXE
-
- For DOS run DOSINST.EXE
-
- The Recommended specification of the DEMO is a
- Pentium 90 or greater.
-
- The DEMO version has not been optimised and therefore
- the final version will run considerably faster.
-
- MMX optimised code is not implemented in this version.
-
- Controls
- ~~~~~~~~
- If you have a mouse or Joystick plugged in the game
- will allow you to select your preferred input device.
-
- The default keys are as follows:
-
- Key Helicopter Buggy
-
- Up Fly Forward Drive Forward
- Down Fly Back Reverse
- Right Turn Right Turn Right
- Left Turn Left Turn Left
- '>' Bank Right Strafe Right
- '<' Bank Left Strafe Left
- Space Fire Standard Weapon Fire Standard Weapon
- 'M' Fire Special Weapons Fire Special Weapons
- CTRL Lock Strafe
-
- F1 Setup Menu
- Escape Exit to Menu
-
- The DOS version supports analogue joysticks, Gravis
- Gamepad and Creative Blaster Gamepad.
-
- The Windows95 version supports the above products and
- other DirectInput compatible devices. The appropriate
- Joystick driver for Windows95 (supplied by the
- manufacturer) must be installed and calibrated before
- starting SWIV.
-
- CDAudio
- ~~~~~~~
- The audio soundtrack is a CD-A track and due to driver
- limitations volume control is not available on all
- machines.
-
- Windows95 & DirectX
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- Even though Windows95 can have multiple tasks running,
- more resources are used - to get the best performance
- from SWIV exit as many programs as possible, before
- running the game.
-
- Do not attempt to switch tasks when SWIV is running as
- this is not currently supported.
-
- SWIV makes use of the DirectX drivers for Windows95
- from Microsoft. However as this is relatively new
- technology drivers may not exist or be 100% compatible
- on your machine. If you experience problems we suggest
- you contact your hardware manufacturer who may have
- updated drivers or use the DOS version.
-
- Enjoy!
