|
|
|
|
Start your disk as you would any other.
|
|
Use a self-centering joystick.
|
|
Press the joystick button to begin.
|
|
(Note: A Mockingboard plugged into a ][+ or ][e will

|
-------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Move the joystick right and left to select SCENARIOS
|
|
and forward and backward to select RANKS (skill levels).
|
|
Press the joystick button when you have the ones you want.
|
|
There are 5 RANKS from CADET (the easiest) to ACE OF THE BASE (the hardest).
|
|
There are 15 SCENARIOS.
|
|
|
|
The first 7 SCENARIOS are TRAINING MISSIONS, some with ENEMY
|
|
TANKS only, some with ENEMY PLANES only, some with both.
|
|
TRAINING MISSIONS contain no ENEMY MOTHER SHIPS
|
|
and the enemy cannot destroy your home base.
|
|
|
|
In the 8 invasions you must protect you home base or lose
|
|
your computer and whatever fighters you still have there.
|
|
|
|
When you wipe out all the enemy forces or when the enemy wipes out all your
|
|
planes, you will be returned to base. when you get to the end of the game,
|
|
use your joystick to select either same game (same rank, same scenario) or
|
|
restart (if you want to change either). Then press the button.
|
|
(See inside for more information about scenarios.)
|
|
|
|
|
|
Launching A SkyFox Fighter

|
|
the base computer will appear on the screen.
|
|
To launch automatically against the nearest targets,
|
|
press the joystick button to enter the launch tube.
|
|
If necessary, then use the joystick to select low
|
|

|
|
Press the button again to launch. Your launch speed depends on your rank.

You are launched flying due east toward three consecutive waves of tanks.
|
|
When you destroy the last one, you will automatically be returned to base.
|
|
Launch again to face even more tanks.
|
|
Use your overhead radar scanner to spot your targets.
|
|
|
|
Tank Training 2-
|
|
You will be launched onto the tail of an enemy plane.
|
|
Shoot fast or it will circle and attack you.
|
|
The forward scanner shows planes which are in range and
|
|
will help you determine whether they are above or below you.
|
|
(The space bar toggles between forward and overhead scanners.)
|
|
Try your guided and heat seeking missiles.
|
|
(Press G or H to arm and the joystick button to launch.)
|
|
Succeed and you can re-launch against successively more planes.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
Plane Training 3-
|
|
Like tank training 2, but with planes.
|
|
|
|
High/Low Training-
|
|
Alternate waves first of tanks, then of planes.
|
|
You'll automatically be returned to base after each success.
|
|
|
|
Combo Training-
|
|
Like high/low but a wave consists of both tanks and planes.
|
|
You may fly through the cloud layer that separates air and ground wars.
|
|
|
|
Small Invasion-
|
|
1 Mothership to defeat, before it launches
|
|
enough planes and tanks to destroy your base.
|
|
Protect your base and the outlying installations
|
|
containing your friends and relatives.
|
|
Be sure to save some missiles to use against motherships.
|
|
When a mothership launches a plane on a bombing run to one of your installations, the message "LAUNCH DETECTED" will appear on the radar
|
|
scanner display in your cockpit.
|
|
|
|
Full Invasion-
|
|
A 3 Mothership invasion. Massive onslaught-6 motherships.
|
|
|
|
Halo, Alamo, Advancing Wall, Chess And Cornered-
|
|
Each a multiple mothership invasion, each with its own shape and pressure.
|
|
To study enemy movement patterns in the scenarios, choose a scenario
|
|
and press the button to enter the base, then don't launch.
|
|
Just watch the enemy movement on the tactical map to understand the
|
|
IR strategies.
|

|
Using The SkyFox Weapons Systems
|
|
--------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Press the main joystick button to fire the laser cannons.
|
|
Press H on the keyboard to arm a heat
|
|
seeking missile and G to arm a guided one.
|
|
Press again if you want to disarm an armed missile which you haven't yet fired. Press the main button to send an armed missile against an enemy target.
|
|
You must be pointed toward a target visible on your on-board radar scanner
|
|
to fire a missile or you will get a 'no target' message on the scanner.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Using Automatic Pilot To Find More Enemy Targets
|
|
------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
When no enemy targets are in view, press both joystick buttons
|
|
simultaneously or press A on the keyboard to engage the automatic pilot.
|
|
Your on-board computer will locate the nearest
|
|
enemy targets and send you to their location.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Using The Base Computer
|
|
-----------------------
|
|
|
|
The base computer displays a tactical map which shows the
|
|
location of all your installations and of all enemy vehicles.
|
|
While flying the SkyFox, press C to bring up a visual
|
|
display of that map, transmitted from your base computer.
|
|
Use the arrow keys (or I,J,K and M) to move the cursor to the
|
|
sector you want to fly to, then press A to engage the automatic pilot.
|
|
You may also follow this procedure to choose
|
|
your own target to launch against from the base.
|
|
(And while you're in the base, you can use the base computer to play an old
|
|
20th century video game if you can find the control that brings it up.)
|
|
Pressing C again disengages the base computer.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Flying Through The Clouds
|
|
-------------------------
|
|
|
|
There is a cloud barrier that stretches between 1,000 and 10,000 feet.
|
|
You must fly through it each time you switch between ground and air combat.
|
|
Flying up to 30,000 feet results in heavy fuel consumption.
|
|
Look for enemy planes between 30,000 and 40,000 feet.
|
|
They will only fly in that range.
|
|
As you approach the cloud barrier the base computer will
|
|
automatically be disengaged and moved out of your way.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Landing A SkyFox Fighter
|
|
------------------------
|
|
|
|
You may land at home base to recharge your shields and take on fuel.
|
|
You may not land at any installation other than your home base.
|
|
(Your home base is shown on the tactical map as a white checkered square.
|
|
All other installations are shown as solid white squares.)
|
|
To Land:
|
|
1) Enter the sector containing your base;
|
|
2) Reduce your speed to zero by pressing zero on the keyboard;
|
|
3) Reduce altitude to zero by pushing forward on the joystick.
|
|
Once you've successfully landed; the base computer will appear on the screen.
|
|
|
