SELECTING A RANK
|
|
|
|
Once you have left the demo, your first pre-flight task will be
|
|
to select a Naval rank. There are seven ranks under which you can
|
|
fly, each one providing a more challenging set of missions than
|
|
the last. Use the arrow keys or your joystick to cycle through
|
|
the various ranks. When your desired rank is highlighted, press
|
|
the return key or a joystick button to make your selection. After
|
|
you've selected your rank, a message will appear on screen
|
|
listing your objectives for that mission.
|
|
|
|
|
|
SELECTING WEAPONS
|
|
|
|
Before taking off, you must decide what type of weapons your
|
|
Hellcat will be armed with for this flight. Cycle through the
|
|
list of weapons using the arroW keys or your joystick, then press
|
|
return or joystick button to make your selection.
|
|
|
|
|
|
TAKING OFF
|
|
|
|
To take off from the carrier, push the joystick all the way to
|
|
the left to give your Hellcat full throttle in that direction. As
|
|
the plane nears the end of the flight deck, push the stick up and
|
|
to the left to provide elevation.
|
|
|
|
|
|
FLYING
|
|
|
|
Maneuvering the Hellcat while in flight is achieved using the
|
|
following joystick positions:
|
|
|
|
|
|
Left Climb Stall Right Climb
|
|
\ | /
|
|
Full Throttle Left--3/4 Throttle-- Full Throttle Right
|
|
/ | \
|
|
Left Dive Stall Dive Right Dive
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
TURNING
|
|
|
|
Turning is accomplished by reversing the horizontal direction
|
|
of the stick. Your Hellcat will lose some altitude while turning,
|
|
so it's important to give it extra lift at the same time.
|
|
|
|
|
|
LANDING
|
|
|
|
To land on the carrier, you must approach it flying into the
|
|
wind (from the right). Use the 3-D view to line up the flashing
|
|
white artificial horizon indicator with the deck of the carrier.
|
|
Just as you clear the edge of the carrier's deck, stall the plane
|
|
to allow it to drop so that its "arrester hook" can catch one of
|
|
the four arresting cables on the deck.
|
|
|
|
Landing an airplane on the deck of a carrier requires a great
|
|
deal of skill and nerves of steel. It may take you a few practice
|
|
runs before you feel comfortable, but this practice will pay off
|
|
later When the heat is on and you have to land under fire.
|
|
|
|
Once you have landed safely, taxi your plane to the elevator.
|
|
Then, push the joystick button to activate the elevator and lower
|
|
your plane for repairs, refueling and a new load of weapons. If
|
|
you taxi too far and miss the elevator, simply turn your plane
|
|
around and position it over the elevator again.
|

|
HELLCAT WEAPONS
|
|
---------------
|
|
|
|
Machine Guns
|
|
|
|
Your Hellcat is equipped With three .50 caliber machine guns on
|
|
each wing. These guns can be fired while in flight by pressing
|
|
button 0. Use your machine guns for shooting down enemy planes
|
|
and strafing islands.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Bombs
|
|
|
|
Equipped with thirty 100 lb. bombs, your Hellcat can do heavy
|
|
damage to barracks and maching gun dug-outs on enemy islands.
|
|
After selecting "bombs" from the Weapons menu, you can drop bombs
|
|
while in flight by pressing button 1.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Rockets
|
|
|
|
Designed for use on more substantial targets such as large
|
|
anti-aircraft guns, 15 of these 5 inch rockets can be carried by
|
|
your Hellcat. Once you've selected "rockets" from the Weapons
|
|
menu, you can fire rockets while in flight by pressing button 1.
|
|
|
|
|
|
TORPEDOES
|
|
|
|
Once an enemy ship's guns have been disabled you'll be able to
|
|
make a torpedo run on the ship in an attempt to sink it. After
|
|
selecting "torpedo" from the weapons menu, you can release the
|
|
torpedo by pressing button 1
|
|
|
|
NOTE: you must approach the enemy ship flying low over the water
|
|
when you release the torpedo. It is important to have the ship
|
|
well in your sight before releasing the torpedo so as not to
|
|
allow the torpedo to run out of energy before hitting its target.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
CONTROL PANEL
|
|
|
|
Your Hellcat's control panel with it's various instruments and
|
|
guages is displayed at the bottom of your screen.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Weapon counter: indicates what type of weapon you are carrying
|
|
and how many you have left.
|
|
|
|
Hellcat counter: how many Hellcats left. You earn an extra plane
|
|
eace time you are promoted in rank.
|
|
|
|
Oil pressure guage: indicates the condition of your engine. When
|
|
your Hellcat is damaged by gunfire, the engine will begin to
|
|
smoke. The more damage your plane sustains, the more smoke it
|
|
will emit and the lower the oil pressure will drop. When oil
|
|
pressure begins to get critically low, a red light will blink on
|
|
the guage. If the oil pressure drops too low, the engine will
|
|
seize and you will crash, Each time you return to your carrier
|
|
and descend into the hold, your plane will be repaired, restoring
|
|
oil pressure to full.
|
|
|
|
3-D view: provides a three dimensional view of the world from
|
|
your cockpit. This view is especially helpful when attempting to
|
|
guage the distange between your Hellcat and an oncoming ship,
|
|
plane of other target.
|
|
|
|
In the center of the view is a flashing white cursor which serves
|
|
as an artificial forizon iundicator. This indicator is useful for
|
|
sighting targets and landing on your carrier.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Fuel guage: indicates how much fuel you have left. When the fuel
|
|
level begins to get critically low, a red light will blink on the
|
|
guage. If the plane runs out of fuel in flight, you will crash.
|
|
Each time you return to your carrier and descend into the hold,
|
|
your plane will be refueled, restoring the level to full.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Score counter: take a guess!
|
|
|
|
Enemy plane counter: take another one!

FLYING THE MISSIONS
|
|
|
|
|
|
You start the game with three Hellcats. You will receive one
|
|
additional Hellcat every time you earn a promotion in rank.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Mission Objectives
|
|
|
|
You will be briefed on each mission's objective before you begin
|
|
it. Bonuses will be awarded as each objective is accomplished. An
|
|
additional bonus will be awarded upon successful completion of an
|
|
entire mission.
|
|
|
|
The two major objectives that a mission may entail are:
|
|
|
|
ISLANDS
|
|
|
|
Targets on islands include barracks, soldiers, machine gun
|
|
dug-outs and large anti-aircraft guns. For an island to be
|
|
neutralized, all barracks, soldiers and guns must be destroyed.
|
|
|
|
SHIPS
|
|
|
|
Enemy ships must be sunk to be neutralized.
|
|
|
|
|
|
During some missions, you will also encounter the following:
|
|
|
|
FIGHTER PLANES
|
|
|
|
It is not neccessary to shoot down all fighter planes in an area
|
|
in order to complete a mission.
|
|
|
|
|
|
TORPEDO PLANES
|
|
|
|
To defend your carrier, it is neccessary to either shoot down
|
|
torpedo planes or destroy their torpedoes once dropped (with
|
|
bullets bombs or rockets). When a torpedo plane is sighted, an
|
|
arrow will appear in the 3-D view indicating its position
|
|
relative to you.
|
|
|
|
|
|
HIGH SCORES
|
|
|
|
Once you have finished the game, you will have the opportunity
|
|
to save your score to disk if your score is among the top ten.
|
|
You will be prompted to enter your name. Your rank will be
|
|
recorded automatically.
