II. Reversion history
---------------------

Version 0.1 6/2/01, 5:37P.M CT - I just started with the FAQ, controls, and 
everything above it added. I hope to Finnish this by 6/13. It should be fully 
completed before the end of summer.

Version 0.2 6/4/01 11:29P.M. CT -  Finished Do’s and Dont’s, Vs player & 
computer strategies. I'm gonna do jets and stats next, followed by the 
walkthrough. Then next few days after that, the game shark + conclusion 
should be up. I hope it won’t take more then 1-2 weeks.

Version 0.3 6/20/01 2:31A.M. CT - As promised, The jets and stats. I might be 
missing one or two, but I’ll get those up soon. And a new idea came to my 
head! (Sees everyone run to take cover)... OK, I’ll add the names and jets 
the wingmen fly.

Version 1.0 7/6/01 1:40A.M. CT - I ran though spell check, added all the 
jets, got the closing up... I'm now sending it in.

Version 2.0 7/10/01 2:09A.M. CT - I just added gamshark codes, and wingmen. 
Also I forgot to put my E-mail on here. Opss. I better get that up... Now I 
just got to get the Walkthough. Great...

III. FAQ 
--------

Q. What is the best jet?

A. Their is no real best jet. You need different stats for different missions.
Look at the jets + stats. But my favorite jet, who has all above average 
stats, it the SU-27. Or the A-10. That has maxed everything but power(speed).


Q. Why can I never hit the enemy?

A. A few things in the Vs computer strategies. If an enemy is coming from your
right or left while your heading strait, you have no chance in hitting him. 
You need to make a quick "L" or "U" turn to be behind him, where you attack. 
And NEVER fire missiles without being locked on target. And only fire bullets 
when the little aimer shows. (It should show up at about 300 feet) If you 
can’t lock on target, exelerate with the R1 button to catch up with the guy. 
Look at the section for me.


Q. How do I get a lot of money at the end of a mission?

A. After a mission, you get some money for sure, just not a lot. To make 
more, Kill everything you see. You get extra money for the more guys you 
kill. Don’t just go after the main, mission enemy.


Q. What do you mean by mission enemies?

A. When the briefing is given before every mission, you will see him point 
out the jet location, and what kind they are. Above the name of the jet, it 
will say "target." Those are the jets you need to kill to complete the 
mission. Also a red dot will show up on the large map. (Square button.)
 

Q. Why do I keep running out of missiles?

A. You fire them to much. You have 65 missiles, and at the most, It will take 
4 shots to kill a jet, and some take only 1. Again, don’t fire unless you are 
locked on target.


Q. Should I lanch with support?

A. Rarely do you ever need to. In fact, I never did and saved much more 
money. They go very slow, and I never seen one kill anything. The are only 
good for taking a jet off you and chase him, but that doesn't happen a lot.

Q. What is Power, Defense, ext?

A. POWER is your speed. Exceleration really. All jets can only go up to 1450  
MPH. That just makes it get to that speed much faster. STABILITY is how 
fast you can turn left and right, MOBILITY is how fast you can turn up and 
down, OFFENCE is the strength of your jet's missiles, and DEFENCE is your 
jets armor.

Q. Are these jets real?

A. Yes. They are all real.

Q. Can you tell me when I get (Jet name)?

A. Look in the Walkthrough. After each level, I’ll say what you get from 
it.(coming soon)

=======================

-------------------
VI. Do’s and Dont’s
-------------------

Do...

- Dive when "Warning" sign is on for being locked on target by someone else.

- Lock on target before firing anything. <- Always do that or you wont hit.

- Fire two missiles when locked on target. You can fire up to two at a time.

- Use bullets whenever possible Don’t only use mistles.

- Kill non-mission targeted enemy if your strong enough to. Mission targeted 
enemies are guys you NEED to kill to complete the mission. Others are just 
extras for getting more money and making it harder.

- Exelerate (R1) to catch up with enemies and save fuel.

- Use (square) button to show the large map to help you navigate and see the 
mission targeted enemies.

Do NOT...

- Ignore any warning signs. (damage, low fuel, low altitude)

- Fire without locking on target

- Always fly with support

- Buy every jet.

- Go below 250 MPH (or KPH. Its the same thing)

- Go above 7500 ft.

- Go below 500 ft.

- Always fly at full speed.

- Ignore mobility/stability stats.

- Do all missions in order.

===========================

---------------
VII. Strategies
---------------

This can be used against Computer and player
- Fire two missile when locked on target.

- Use bullets when possible

- When you going face to face with another jet, exelerate, hold down X and 
once you lock on target, fire two missiles. It will kill them every time.

- When an enemy comes in from the side while you are going strait, you have 
no chance of hitting him. Slow down really low, and turn intil yout facing 
behind him. Then just exelerate and shoot to kill him.

- If your low on life, stay about 50-100 ft below the enemy. Go slow and lock 
on target. Fire, and he shouldn't be able to fire back.

- When above 3000 FT at the least, to make a quick turn around, go into a 
nose dive to about 45 degrees down, then spin, and pull up. You can save good 
seconds on a turn to get up to a jet. IT TAKES TIME TO LEARN. Don’t tell me 
that its impossible.

(If you have any, PLEASE send them to me.)

VIII. Wingmen
-------------

Ok... Just so I don’t have to review all the wingmen personaly, I would lke 
to say I don’t think any wingmen are good. They might take down one jet if 
your lucky, but they go VERY slow, HARDLY shoot, and I think are only good 
for the last level. But because you might find them useful, and I want the 
FAQ to be bigger then 10KB, and because I have no other thing to do on a 
Monday. And now, the complete list of the wingmen (in order of apperence)
