(The Auto Pilot)
|
|||
|
|
--------------
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The auto pilot is like attacking a very important part of the game.
|
|||
|
|
The pilot is important for it allows you to set it to travel to
|
|||
|
|
enemies and it is also programmed when not set by you to seek out the
|
|||
|
|
nearest enemy and fly you to it.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Obviously most of us do not use the auto pilot much because we dont
|
|||
|
|
fully understand its capabilitys. It took my a while to figure out how
|
|||
|
|
improtant the auto-pilot really was.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
We can use our auto-pilot for two things. Those two things are, having
|
|||
|
|
it fly us to a set destination that we program in or just have it fly
|
|||
|
|
us to the nearest enemy.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
First of all I will be talking about using it to take you to your very
|
|||
|
|
own set destination. In order to do this we will have to pull out our
|
|||
|
|
computer with the [C] command. If it says your computer is discharged
|
|||
|
|
you might as well forget about having anything to do with it and go on
|
|||
|
|
with just your gun and missles. Once we have the computer, a tactical
|
|||
|
|
map will appear in front of us. On the side it will tell you what all
|
|||
|
|
the little colored squares represent,use the I, J, K, M keys to find a
|
|||
|
|
place you want. You may want to zoom in on an area to make sure that
|
|||
|
|
whats there is what you want to go to. Then just hit [A] and we are
|
|||
|
|
off!
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Secondly we can use it to just take us for a cruise to check out the
|
|||
|
|
nearest enemy. To do this all you have to do is press 'A' while in the
|
|||
|
|
flying plane proccess and it will take you there!
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
(The Base)
|
|||
|
|
--------
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The base is represented by a blue checkerd square on your tactical
|
|||
|
|
map. When you first start out you are in the base.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
We all know that us Skyfox fighter pilots have a hectic time, so they
|
|||
|
|
even put an alpha invaders in the base for us! All ya gotta do to play
|
|||
|
|
is hit CTRL-G from the tactical map.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
You return to the base, if you fly there, if your plane gets bombed
|
|||
|
|
and you have to get a new one or when you start over.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
At the base you are refueld and the damage on your plane is fixed,
|
|||
|
|
sorry but no more missles of any kind are given out so use them
|
|||
|
|
wisely!
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
To return to the base in simple steps from anywhere you may be do
|
|||
|
|
this:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
[1] activate computer and tactical map.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
[2] look for blue square on map, use the I,J,K,M keys to move your
|
|||
|
|
cursor there.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
[3] once the cursor is on the blue base box, hit 'A' for auto-pilot
|
|||
|
|
who will fly you there.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
[4] once in the base sector reduce your speed to 0 as soon as the
|
|||
|
|
auto-pilot stops, that way you wont go flying out of the sector.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
[5] push joystick up, until your height (shown to the very right on
|
|||
|
|
your plane instrument panel) is to 0, and poof, you are in the base!
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
If by any chance you did not enter the base, check the computer for
|
|||
|
|
your sector and make sure your on the blue box, make sure your speed &
|
|||
|
|
height is 0. If all that is right and it still is not working, you
|
|||
|
|
must have a bad copy!
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
(The Plane Speeds)
|
|||
|
|
----------------
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Your palne can travel from 1000-9000 miles per hour. This is
|
|||
|
|
represented by 1-9 on your keyobard. When pressing one, that speed
|
|||
|
|
will be selected.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The speed 0 is like a plane break that will stop your plane
|
|||
|
|
completly.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The speed 0 should be set when you are fooling around with the
|
|||
|
|
computer so you dont go flying out of the colony or run into some
|
|||
|
|
enemies!
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The 9 speed should be used with turbo wehn wanting to 'get away.'
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Turbo is accessed with the 1 button on your joy stick, and can be used
|
|||
|
|
at any time.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
I would select a 5-6 moderate speed wehn just flying around.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
(The Zoom Feature)
|
|||
|
|
----------------
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
When in the tactical map you have the option of zooming in on a
|
|||
|
|
certain place.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
When you select the 'Z' command it will put you on a blank map. You
|
|||
|
|
can see where your going by the x,y coordinates on the right of your
|
|||
|
|
screen.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
When you run into something it will be shown so you know what it is
|
|||
|
|
(deep, really fuckin' deep).
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
THe mother ship looks like a flying saucer, the plane looks like a
|
|||
|
|
small plane, same with the tank, and so on. The instalation looks like
|
|||
|
|
two hexagon saucers chained together
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
(Getting Away)
|
|||
|
|
------------
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Well getting away is very simple actually but there are some things
|
|||
|
|
and techs you may want to know.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The easiest and most common way of getting away is putting the speed
|
|||
|
|
on 9, the thrusters on and burning out!
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The other way is auto-piloting away.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
When using the auto-pilot method if it says discharged, switch to map
|
|||
|
|
mode and look where your enemies are. Fly out of that sector and then
|
|||
|
|
auto pilot.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
(Firing Techniques)
|
|||
|
|
-----------------
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
As soon as you hit a sector with some enemies, get ready to fire!
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The tanks are by far the easiest, becuase they all come in a row. The
|
|||
|
|
smaller they are the more you should move the target up and fire, the
|
|||
|
|
larger they are the more you should move the target down and fire.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The planes are usually alone and hard to hit. Just keep on their tail
|
|||
|
|
and fire away.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
I really see no need to use your 10 missles (seekers & guideds).
|
|||
|
|
Unless you get scared you really dont need to use them. I got to a
|
|||
|
|
score of 45,000 without using the missles once on the corners scenario
|
|||
|
|
and found your missles dont really do much good.
