Phillips or...DA PLANE, DA PLANE!________NFasten your seat belt and prepare for takeoff with 4A Flyer! You are the pilotNof the 4a Flyer combat plane! You mission is to carry top secret cargo to fourLseparate airports. But watch out! Enemy planes will do all in their power toNstop you from reaching your destinations. Start your engine, fly into the sky,Knavigate through hazardous weather conditions, search for and destroy enemyNplanes, and land safely - without running out of fuel! Feel the excitement and;motion of flight as you pilot your own plane with 4A Flyer! P********************************************************************************roy enemyP******************************************************************************** In 4A Flyer you:K o Pilot the plane throught take-off, flight, combat and landing sequences.7 o View the sky and horizon through the cockpit window.I o Control the motion of the plane as you rush to intercept enemy planes. o Battle enemy planes.% o Face dangerous weather conditions. o Monitor your fuel and power. o Hear exciting sound effects.( o Use keyboard or joystick controllers.O*******************************************************************************Selecting the Weather option.L At the title screen, press W for random weather. Pressing any other keyund effects.( o Use keyboard or joystick controllers.Lwill default to clear skies. There are three types of weather. Pressing W atNthe title screen randomly assigns weather hazards. After landing at any of theFfour airports, the weather changes. Weather conditions are as follows: controllers.Lo Clear - blue sky, green land ... perfect flying, no danger. Only displayed if W is NOT pressed.Mo Snow - blue sky, white land ... hazardous at high altitudes. Watch out for ice forming on wings.follows: controllers.Lo Rain - grey sky, green land ... dangerous when landing. Be careful not to8 reduce speed too drastically during rainstorm.Ho Heat - blue sky, red land ... effects engine during flight. Monitor on wings.follows: controllers.6 engine power carefully to avoid overheating.O*******************************************************************************M You see the instrument panel through the cockpit window. The instrumentsngs.follows: controllers.Nshow the status of the flap and landing gear, amount of fuel and power, speed,Lheading, altitude, pitch of plane. An artificial horizon indicator shows theGactual tilt of plane. The flight computer displays exact info about thecontrollers.Laltitude and heading of enemy planes and location of nearest airport. BecomeNfamiliar with each flight instrument and its purpose before attempting flight.L o COCKPIT WINDOW ... shows runway, sky, horizon, enemy planes andollers.current weather conditions.M o FLIGHT COMPUTER ... The center rectangle below the cockpit windowKis the flight computer. When in combat mode, it displays altitude (in feet) ... shows runway, sky, horizon, enemy planes andollers.Nand heading (in degrees) of enemy planes, and the number of time you have beenNhit by the enemy. Remember, this is the number of time YOU have been hit...notMthe enemy plane. During landing sequences, this area displays the heading youers.&must take to find the nearest airport.H o ALTITUDE INDICATOR ... Displays your altitude in feet, based on ground level.K o PITCH INDICATOR ... A line divides the pitch indicator in half.his area displays the heading youers.IWhen blue appears above the center line, the nose of the plane is headingNtowards the sky. When green appears below the center line, the nose is headingtowards the ground.H o GEAR INDICATOR ... Displays the status of the landing gear,Leither up or down. The gear must be up shortly after take-off to allow for a'smooth flight, and down during landing.J o ARTIFICIAL HOR. DISPLAY ... looks like two side-by-side triangles. The7triangles tilt left or right when the plane is banking.K o FUEL GUAGE ... Shows amount of fuel in fuel tank. The fuelGguage is filled with red when the tank is full. When engine power is atNmaximum, the fule is consumed more quickly. When you land at an airport, planeis automatically fuelled.L o ENGINE POWER GUAGE ... Displays level of engine power. It is filledKwith red when engine power is at its max. The amount of engine power needed$varies depending upon speed desired.. When you land at an airport, planeis automatically fuelled.I o FLAP INDICATOR ... Flap is a movable part of each wing. WhenMfully raised and the plane is in the air, it causes the plane to slow down by ten knots.< o SPEED INDICATOR ... Measure plane speed in knotsneis automatically fuelled.N o HEADING INDICATOR ... Displays heading in degrees. Heading can rangefrom 0 to 359 degrees.K o BRAKE INDICATOR ... The word "brake" appears in the lower right9corner of the instrument panel when the brake is engaged.tically fuelled.O*******************************************************************************@How to control the plane.
