RED BARON Doc's
by GOPHER!!!
I have been waiting for this one since it was announced, and it looks
like it was well worth it, full 256 color VGA only graphics. And it is quite
responsive and playable unlike some VGA games released to date. It has better
graphics than Knights of the Sky and better playability than Blue Max. So after
playing it for an hour or so I made up some quick doc's. These are by no means
complete but will get you started until the real doc's come out (if they do)
Flight Controls:
+ & - on Keypad 1-8 on keyboard throttle
Space fire guns
Return & second joystick button switch between inside and outside
views
U Un-jam guns (if jammed)
C Time compression on/off (only when not in battle)
M & A Communicates with wingman
Q & ESC End mission
Keypad and arrows control plane, you can select joystick just by pressing
any button at the title screen.
ALT-Q Quit to DOS
ALT-R Brings up realism menu
ALT-J Enable/Disable joystick
ALT-D Enable/Disable mouse
ALT-S Enable/Disable sound
Views:
F1 View from cockpit
F2 Rear view
F3 Left
F4 Right
F5 Look up
F6 Look down
F7 Battlefield view of plane from rear
F10 Preference menu
While in outside views mode (Return) hitting the Function keys will shows
various views
If your plane is hit, damage will acumulate by showing your wing-spars being
shot, if they break, you are dead.
Also, you can change various aspects of the mission while in the briefing mode
by moving the pointer over the raised lettering, you can change weather, planes
and the enemy doing this.
Also you can use the mission recorder to play back old missions and re-fly them
again and again
Hints:
While in a dogfight, turn, turn and turn again, don't stay level! the Zepplins
are the hardest for me, I have yet to shoot one down.
This one will take a while to play, it has to be the best simulation made yet.
All the options allow you to virtually change everything!
Greets to Doctor PJ, Byter, Phantom, Slavelord (nice release), Michael Myers
and all the PoWR crew!
