Attacking
---------
In Skyfox attacking is the most important thing. Why, you say? Well in
Skyfox attacking and winnging the battle is the way you score.
So obviously we will want some kool attacking tips from the Wyvern,
rite? well I dont care what you answered to that question because I
am about to torture you with them anyways!
When attacking your scanner should always be in the attack mode as I
call it. The attack mode is the mode that does not show your enemys as
dots, it shows them as sorta like real far away planes you can hardly
see.
The reason you will want your scanner in attack mode is becuase, it is
much easier to catch your enemies and as the term goes "blow the hell
outa the losers!".
Once you have all of that set up you will want to reduce your speed
and get ready to kill 'em! Now if there is lots of these evil faggot
planes out there we will want to launch a nuke at them, but the great
god of games didnt supply us with nukes, but he did give us heat
seekers and guided missles! So we want to load in a few seekers and
waste most of them before they kill us! Then just use regular fire on
the rest!
Now when palying with a mother ship it is better to save heat seekers
and maybe waste your reg. laser bursts & guided missles.
Now for the patient people out there not in the mood of fucking up
fighters all day, we have the "patient person technique"!!! here is
how it works.
You go to some nice deserted area where you can strech out, order a
pizza and sip that coke. Set the speed to 0, load a heat seeker, and
let it hover there. Soon some fighter planes will come along, as you
spill the coke all over your shirt and throw the pizza on the ceiling!
Now you must use your brains for once instead of relaxing! So you just
fire away!!!!!! Be sure to use that heat seeker that you loaded
wisely or it may come back at you and you wont hafta worry about
scraping the pizza off the ceiling!

The Scanner
-----------
The scanner is displayed at all times of flight. It is the little
screen type thing rite in front of your face there. By pounding the
spacebar you can toggle it from map to attack mode or visa versa.
You say, map, attack? What is this loon talking about!? Well let me
explain this subject a little more!!!
Map mode would be the mode where you can see squares and your small
little plane there, and your loser enemies (that we hope to terminate)
are dis- played as dots.
Attack mode would be the mode where you can see like a 3-d type mini
display. The lanes come up looking like planes you can hardly see, and
your plane is not displayed as in map mode.
Map mode should be used when you are just flying around, that way you
have a better view of what is going on, where your enemies are, and if
you go out of the colony then you will know just how to get back!
Attack mode should be used when you are in battle, that way you can
direct yourself better, have a better attack type view of your
opponents and thats all you really need it for when attacking!

Latitudes
---------
Dont ask me why the hell I call these latitudes but im just so
organized that I have my own little names for everyhting (heh)..
I refer to latitued as the cross be- tween the sky and the surface.
Only on some missions are you able to cro- ss latitudes, and on some
the program will cross them for you!
When on ground to get to the sky latitude, simple put your speed up to
9, and push the joystcik up.
The cross entry point for going up to the sky is 999. When you hit 999
you will pass through a huge cloud and end up in the high blue sky (no
this is not the twilight zone).
When in the sky to get back to land, simply put your speed up to 9,
and push your joystcik up. Just like you did to get here in the first
place!!!
The cross entry point for going down to land is 10,000. When you hit
10,000 the same thing happens, but you end up on land, and no we still
havent found the twilight zone so just calm down!
