- processors.

-
- WHAT YOU GET.
- With this demo you may fly any aircraft and or try out the new stationary
- gunner. You may fly against two enemy Spitfires in 1 Player Standard
- modes. You may select other enemy aircraft to view their specifications,
- but you will always actually get Spitfires.
-
- WHAT YOU DON'T GET.
- You can't pause while flying, therefore you can't access the in-flight menu
- system that normally allows you to switch your aircraft, your enemies
- aircraft and their skill levels. To switch these you will have to reboot
- and reselect. You can't save your preferences from the Startup-Interface.
- None of our famous 2 player modes are allowed, including the new 2 Seater
- Pilot/Gunner modes and Wingman modes.

- CLI launch, follow these instructions.
- Cd to the directory in which FDPro2.demo resides. Give FDPro2.demo its path as a

- backslash if the path does not end in a full colon.

-
- USING THE CH FLIGHTSTICK PRO ANALOG JOYSTICK
-
- To use a CH FlightStick Pro's top "hat"
- switch with FDPro2, you must either have an IDD Amiga Smart Port or an
- analog adapter specially wired for use with FDPro2 and the FlightStick Pro.
- Except for the IDD Amiga Smart Port, all known adapters do not have the proper
- wiring for the "hat". This includes the DigiPrint adapter. Without the proper
- adapter, the "hat" will only show you the view to the rear.
-
- REARVIEW
-
- FDPro2 and its demo have the ability to hook another Amiga to its parallel
- port and have it display the rearview from the aircraft at all times.
- This requires a FDPro Parallel adapter and two centronics parallel cables.
- The adapter is available from Jaeger Software, Inc.
- See the order form for details.
