|
|
|
|||
|
|
After completing your first landing since loading the game, you
|
|||
|
|
will be asked
|
|||
|
|
to enter a landing fee credit code (an attempt at piracy
|
|||
|
|
protection). To
|
|||
|
|
determine the correct response, read the account # displayed by
|
|||
|
|
the computer
|
|||
|
|
when it asks for authorization code. Then go to the authorization
|
|||
|
|
code table
|
|||
|
|
(found at the end of the doc file) and locate the account # given
|
|||
|
|
by the
|
|||
|
|
computer. Located directly beneath the account # is the
|
|||
|
|
authorization code
|
|||
|
|
response. Type the authorization code into the computer and press
|
|||
|
|
'return'.

BASIC FLYING
|
|||
|
|
------------
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Two controls are used for the most basic flying - the control
|
|||
|
|
stick or yoke and
|
|||
|
|
the throttle. The joystick (yoke) changes the altitude and
|
|||
|
|
direction of your
|
|||
|
|
aircraft; the throttle affects your speed. Use the joystick to
|
|||
|
|
make your plane
|
|||
|
|
turn, climb and dive. Holding the stick to the right causes the
|
|||
|
|
plane to bank to
|
|||
|
|
the right; when the plane is banked right it will turn right.
|
|||
|
|
Note that when you
|
|||
|
|
center the joystick the plane will remain banked and continue
|
|||
|
|
turning. Bring the
|
|||
|
|
plane back level by pushing the stick in the opposite direction
|
|||
|
|
of bank. Pushing
|
|||
|
|
forward on the stick will cause your nose to go down and the
|
|||
|
|
plane will dive.
|
|||
|
|
Pulling back on the stick will bring your nose up. The throttle
|
|||
|
|
controls the
|
|||
|
|
amount of power generated by your engine. Maximum power is
|
|||
|
|
required when taking
|
|||
|
|
off and climbing, somewhat less power is needed for cruising, and
|
|||
|
|
low power is
|
|||
|
|
generally sufficient for landing.
|
|||
|
|
Remember that there is a relationship between the pitch
|
|||
|
|
altitude and the
|
|||
|
|
amount of power required for level flight. At low speeds,
|
|||
|
|
signifacantly more
|
|||
|
|
nose up is required for level flight.

VIEW
|
|||
|
|
----
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The top half of the flight screen shows your plane and local
|
|||
|
|
terrain
|
|||
|
|
highlights. If you are at a low altitude your shadow will be
|
|||
|
|
visible on the
|
|||
|
|
ground. Airports are black, VOR towers, farms and mountains are
|
|||
|
|
white. If you
|
|||
|
|
fly into or above the clouds, ground objects will not be visible.
|
|||
|
|
Generally the
|
|||
|
|
view is to the front; you may look to the side or behind you
|
|||
|
|
using the
|
|||
|
|
appropriate commands.

INSTRUMENTS
|
|||
|
|
-----------
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The bottom half of the flight screen contains your flight
|
|||
|
|
instrumentation. The
|
|||
|
|
large red dial on the left is your altimeter. Each mark on the
|
|||
|
|
dial is 1000
|
|||
|
|
feet for the small hand and corresponds to a complete revolution
|
|||
|
|
of the large
|
|||
|
|
hand. The large dial on the right is your speed indicator which
|
|||
|
|
goes from 0 to
|
|||
|
|
180 knots. The small circle in the middle is your artificial
|
|||
|
|
horizon/altitude
|
|||
|
|
indicator which idicates your altitude relative to the horizon.
|
|||
|
|
The vertical
|
|||
|
|
strip in the center is your throttle indicator. Maximum power is
|
|||
|
|
at the top,
|
|||
|
|
zero power is at the bottom. The four digital indicators at the
|
|||
|
|
lower left are
|
|||
|
|
very important. The first value is pitch, positive values
|
|||
|
|
indicate your nose is
|
|||
|
|
up, negative values means nose down. The next number is the
|
|||
|
|
degrees of flaps
|
|||
|
|
that are extended. The next value is a digital and alpha
|
|||
|
|
directional compass
|
|||
|
|
reading. Zero degrees is due North, 90 is East, 180 South, and
|
|||
|
|
270 is West. The
|
|||
|
|
bottom indication is your Vertical Velocity Indicator (climb).
|
|||
|
|
Positive values
|
|||
|
|
indicate you are gaining altitude, negative values indicate you
|
|||
|
|
are losing
|
|||
|
|
altitude. Your fuel guage is on the lower right. The indicator
|
|||
|
|
light center left
|
|||
|
|
is your temperature warning light. It will flash if your engine
|
|||
|
|
is overheating.
|
|||
|
|
The two status lamps center right indicate that your landing gear
|
|||
|
|
is down and
|
|||
|
|
your brakes are applied when illuminated. Your navagational
|
|||
|
|
instruments are at
|
|||
|
|
lower right. The two VOR readouts indicate the directional
|
|||
|
|
bearing from the VOR
|
|||
|
|
stations. The ILS system shows wether your landing approach is
|
|||
|
|
high, low, or on
|
|||
|
|
the runway. Your elapsed time is displayed at the upper right.

MAIL PILOT
|
|||
|
|
----------
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The mail pilot game tests your flying skill and judgement. Your
|
|||
|
|
task is to
|
|||
|
|
deliver five bags of mail to their destinations in the least
|
|||
|
|
amount of time.
|
|||
|
|
Once you have selected the Mail Pilot game, a map will be
|
|||
|
|
displayed. Press START
|
|||
|
|
to continue to the Mail Pilot screen. On the mail pilot screen
|
|||
|
|
use the 1 key to
|
|||
|
|
load mail. The destination(s) will be displayed on the screen
|
|||
|
|
under 'MAIL FOR:'.
|
|||
|
|
You may load up as much mail as you like. However, each bag adds
|
|||
|
|
to the weight
|
|||
|
|
of the plane and increases the dificulty of flying. One or two
|
|||
|
|
bags is
|
|||
|
|
recomended. You may load up on fuel by pressing the 2 key. Fuel
|
|||
|
|
also adds weight
|
|||
|
|
but be sure to load enough to make it to your destination. To
|
|||
|
|
begin your
|
|||
|
|
journey, press the 3 key. Then be sure to study the map to decide
|
|||
|
|
a flight plan.
|
|||
|
|
When you are ready to take off, press 3 again. If you wish to
|
|||
|
|
return to the main
|
|||
|
|
map at any time, press 1.
|
|||
|
|
When you arrive at your destination airport and stop your
|
|||
|
|
aircraft, your
|
|||
|
|
landing points are calculated. Points are gained for slow
|
|||
|
|
landings with gentle
|
|||
|
|
touchdowns. Delivery points are also accumulated based on
|
|||
|
|
dificulty level. Next
|
|||
|
|
you will be shown a map and your route will be displayed. Press 3
|
|||
|
|
to go on to
|
|||
|
|
the Mail Pilot screen. Any mail for this airport is automaticly
|
|||
|
|
unloaded and
|
|||
|
|
added to your score. You may now load additional mail or fuel and
|
|||
|
|
continue the
|
|||
|
|
game. The game ends when five bags have been delivered or when
|
|||
|
|
you crash.
|
|||
|
|
As the game progresses, the weather will gradually deteriorate.
|
|||
|
|
Winds will get
|
|||
|
|
stronger, clouds may come in, and turbulence may develop. At the
|
|||
|
|
higher
|
|||
|
|
dificulty levels your plane is also prone to mechanical and
|
|||
|
|
instrument failure.
|
|||
|
|
Your engine may overheat and various instruments may become
|
|||
|
|
inoperative. This is
|
|||
|
|
not due to a bad crack! All malfunctions are repaired when you
|
|||
|
|
land at an
|
|||
|
|
airport.
|
|||
|
|
If the disk is not write protected, high scores will be
|
|||
|
|
recorded on the disk.

|
|
|
|||
|
|
EMERGENCIES
|
|||
|
|
-----------
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
At the more advanced dificulty levels your aircraft is prone to
|
|||
|
|
instrument and
|
|||
|
|
mechanical failure. If the temperature light begins to blink,
|
|||
|
|
your engine is
|
|||
|
|
overheating and will cut out shortly. Find a place to land. Your
|
|||
|
|
altimeter,
|
|||
|
|
airspeed indicator, and VOR indicators may also malfunction and
|
|||
|
|
register zero
|
|||
|
|
readings. The artificial horizon could also cease functioning.
|
|||
|
|
Landing at any
|
|||
|
|
airport will repair your aircraft. Multiple use of the 'E' key
|
|||
|
|
will cycle the
|
|||
|
|
program through all emergencies possible in the simulation.

WEATHER
|
|||
|
|
-------
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The current weather conditions are displayed at the bottom of
|
|||
|
|
the screen: wind
|
|||
|
|
direction and speed, cloud ceiling in feet, and visibility in
|
|||
|
|
miles. Under windy
|
|||
|
|
conditions, landing your aircraft becomes tricky, especially if
|
|||
|
|
the wind is
|
|||
|
|
blowing across the runway. Use less flaps, higher airspeeds, and
|
|||
|
|
aircraft slips
|
|||
|
|
to compensate for winds. Low clouds often require instrument
|
|||
|
|
flying, although
|
|||
|
|
you may choose to fly above the clouds.

|
|
Kansas: Kansas is a nice flat state, ideal for novice flyers.
|
|||
|
|
Wichita and Kansas
|
|||
|
|
City have airports with long, wide runways. There are also many
|
|||
|
|
nice cornfields
|
|||
|
|
and mysterious Indian pyramids to fly over. VOR 1/VOR2 bearings
|
|||
|
|
for Kansas are:

|
CAUTIONS
|
|||
|
|
--------
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Take heed of the following cautions, especially at the advanced
|
|||
|
|
dificulty
|
|||
|
|
levels.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
1. Don't make sharp or high speed turns while taxiing. Your
|
|||
|
|
landing gear struts
|
|||
|
|
are delicate and are liable to ground loop.
|
|||
|
|
2. Don't lose your airspeed and stall when attempting a slow
|
|||
|
|
landing. Use your
|
|||
|
|
flaps to lower stall airspeed.
|
|||
|
|
3. Plan your route on the map before taking off. A sudden
|
|||
|
|
lowering or an
|
|||
|
|
emergency may hide familar landmarks or require immediate
|
|||
|
|
landing.
|
|||
|
|
4. Don't run your engine at full power for too long; overheating
|
|||
|
|
is likely to
|
|||
|
|
occure.
|
|||
|
|
5. Don't overload the aircraft. With a heavy mail and fuel load,
|
|||
|
|
your aircraft
|
|||
|
|
will be very slugish. The aircraft will have a hard time taking
|
|||
|
|
off from
|
|||
|
|
elevated Colorado airports, and will require longer landing
|
|||
|
|
distances.

|
VOR NAVIGATION
|
|||
|
|
--------------
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
VOR navigation is based on a series of ground stations that send
|
|||
|
|
out radio
|
|||
|
|
signals. These signals are received by instruments in the cockpit
|
|||
|
|
and decoded
|
|||
|
|
and read as bearing to a particular VOR station. There is no
|
|||
|
|
range information
|
|||
|
|
associated with VOR navigation. In Solo Flight, each airport is
|
|||
|
|
defined as a
|
|||
|
|
radial intersection. (A radial bearing is a number 0 to 360 that
|
|||
|
|
if the aircraft
|
|||
|
|
was turned and flown on a heading of 180 degrees from the radial
|
|||
|
|
bearing, the
|
|||
|
|
flight path would be inbound to the VOR station).
|
|||
|
|
North of the VOR station is radial 360, East is 90, South is
|
|||
|
|
180, and West is
|
|||
|
|
270. To find a particular airport, the pilot should determine its
|
|||
|
|
radial
|
|||
|
|
intersection from both VORs. He should then intercept a radial
|
|||
|
|
outbound from one
|
|||
|
|
of the VORs and fly until the cross radial from the other radial
|
|||
|
|
is reached. For
|
|||
|
|
example, in the Kansas map, the Kansas City airport is located on
|
|||
|
|
the 36 degree
|
|||
|
|
radial of VOR 2 with the end of the main runway on the end of 67
|
|||
|
|
radial of VOR
|
|||
|
|
1. To find the airport in the weather, the instrument pilot could
|
|||
|
|
establish
|
|||
|
|
himself on the 36 degree radial of VOR 2, heading 36, and descend
|
|||
|
|
to missed
|
|||
|
|
approach altitude until crossing the missed approach radial, the
|
|||
|
|
67 of VOR 1.
