Practice makes perfect. Once you get lined up in the right general direction, I'd suggest using the rudder (the < and > keys) instead of the stick to move left and right. It's much easier to make small adjustments to your direction with the rudder than the ailerons. > ANy way I tried the first task, the contact and return, and had aproblem. > I flew to the area the enemy aircraft were located,the screen said that > these are enemy aircraft and the radar blipsturned red. But when I return > to SFint'l I get not respnse? You need to maintain the contact with the enemy aircraft for several seconds before you turn around and head for base. After a short amount of time (about 5 seconds I guess), you'll get a "Mission Complete" message on the screen telling you that the mission is now completed and ordering you to return to base. After that you can then return to SFO. After landing, you need to turn your engines off and come to a complete stop. Turn the brakes on by pressing the BACKSPACE key. Bring the enigines to 10% thrust by pressing F1. When the instruments register 10% thrust, press F1 again to turn the engines off. Once the plane comes to a complete halt, you'll get re-armed and refueled. You'll also get a "Congratulations!" message telling you that the mission is over and is now recorded. If you don't get the "Congrats" message, the mission wasn't considered a success, and you'll have to try it again (press ESCAPE and start the mission over) before you'll be able to continue on to the later missions. Enjoy! May the enemy never get a radar lock on you! -- Greg Hunt Internet: hunt@dg-rtp.rtp.dg.com DG/UX Kernel Development UUCP: {world}!mcnc!rti!dg-rtp!hunt Data General Corporation Research Triangle Park, NC, USA These opinions are mine, not DG's.
