can turn.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3 - The Radar
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here it's the explanation of how to use the Radar, your Fighter it's
the center of the Radar, the triangles are the enemy Fighters and they
show the direction the enemy Fighter it's heading, a little dot marks an
incoming missile, all the other enemies are marked as a circle.
If the color of the enemy on the radar it's yellow it indicates a
normal enemy, but if the color it's red this Marks a Main Objective and
you HAVE to destroy that enemy to complete the mission.
Around of the Radar circle are some useful markers, first the Main
Objective Marker: it's an arrow that shows the direction where the main
objective are, this arrow can be RED if the Objective ISN'T a Fighter,
ORANGE if the Objective IT'S a Fighter or BLUE if the Objective it's
a FRIEND. On some mission 2 or 3 arrows are displayed at the same time
to mark the 2 or 3 types of Objectives.
To the left of the Radar circle there's two more markers, one it's a
set of letters S,M and L, this letters show the Radar covering radius.
S it's Short range, M Medium and L Long range, this range changes
automatically based on the distance between you and any other Thing
that appear on the Radar, the other it's a vertical scale of distance
that show the distance to the selected target, it's divided on 3 parts:
Far away, Missile Range and Machinegun Range.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4 - The HUD Display
------------------------------------------------------------------------
The first thing you need to know of the HUD it's that the BIG circle on
the center of the screen it's the Lock On Area, you need to place the
target inside this circle to get a Lock On for the Missiles, When the
target it's Inside the Lock On circle and you are close enough, you hear
a Intermittent BIP, BIP, BIP, and you can see a Red Marker Moving toward
the Target, that's the Missile trying to Lock On the Target. When the
Target it's Locked On the Square that appear over the enemies changes
it's color to RED and the sound Changes to a Constant BiiiiiiiiiiP.
If you come too close to the enemy the Machinegun sight will appear,
it's a Circle with a cross, you have to AIM this sight over the enemy
to hit it with the Machinegun.
The HUD shows 2 scales around of the Lock On circle, a vertical scale
that shows the angle of your plane on relation to the Horizon and a
Horizontal scale that it's a Compass.
One more thing, if the color of all the HUD Display changes from GREEN
to RED this means that YOU are LOCKED ON so turn and accelerate to try
to avoid the incoming missile.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5 - The MISSIONS:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here are the missions walkthroughs, the data I put was: Mission number,
Mission Name, The Objectives you need to destroy to complete the mission,
Time to finish the mission, how the mission can be done and the list of
all the enemies that appear on the mission.
This Walkthrough it's based on the Normal Difficult. On Easy it's the
same but the enemies need less damage to be destroy and you can take a
lot more Damage, On Hard it's another story, the enemies take less
damage from you and you take more damage of each attack, I really
recommend that if you are going to try Hard mode Finish Normal or Easy
BEFORE start on Hard so you can get a good Fighter FAST (some Very Good
Fighters are the F-22, the Mig-1.44, the S-37 or the YF-23) or you are
going to have a lot of trouble Completing some missions like Mission 06
or Mission 14.
Here are some Tips for completing the missions:
1-ALWAYS CHECK YOUR RADAR AND THE MAIN OBJECTIVE MARKER TO FIND THE
NEXT TARGET AND TO WATCH THE ENEMIES ARROUND YOU.
2-THE MAIN OBJECTIVES APPEAR ON RED ON THE RADAR AND HAVE A YELLOW
TARGET SQUARE, YOU HAVE TO DESTROY ALL THE MAIN OBJECTIVES TO COMPLETE
A MISSION.
3-TAKE CARE OF THE MAIN OBJECTIVES FIRST, SINCE YOU ONLY HAVE A LIMITED
AMOUNT OF MISSILES DESTROY ALL THE MAIN OBJECTIVES FIRST, OR YOU MAY
FIND YOURSELF WITHOUT ENOUGH MISSILES TO COMPLETE THE MISSION.
4-PRACTICE YOUR DOG FIGHT BECAUSE YOU ARE GOING TO NEED IT.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mission 01: Home Air Defense
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Main Objective: Take out 3 B-1B Bombers.
Mission time: 10 minutes
This mission it's easy and You can use it to gain money very fast,
When you start you see the first B-1B in front of you, just speed up,
wait for the Lock On signal and shoot the Missiles, now turn left and
you can see the 2nd B-1B, Do the same and shoot, Now turn Right
following your radar and search the Last B-1B shoot it and you finish
the mission.
If you shoot down an Air Target with the Machinegun you get DOUBLE the
Money for that target (you only need to FINISH it with the machinegun
, you can shoot 2 missiles and then use the machinegun to finish him),
so if you shoot down the 3 B-1B with the Machinegun you can make
$ 436,000 on 1 minute and 20 seconds.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mission 02: Federation Fleet Obstruction
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Main Objective: Destroy all the enemies Battleships.

This it's the first mission where you have to attack GROUND targets
(Well, SEA targets), so you have to be careful to level up the plane
before you crash on the ground (or sea). The Battleships have Missile
launcher and Machineguns so they have more than 1 target, the best way
to save ammunition it's to aim for the cockpit (Press UP on the D PAD to
chose the target) or you going to have to shoot 2 or 3 times the same
boat (except on easy because almost all the things explode no matter
where you hit them).

Here are More Ground targets than before, since you have more time and
several enemy fighters you should start training on your DOG FIGHT,
first destroy all the ground targets except 1 and then use the
remaining time to practice. JUST REMEBER TO SAVE AT LEAST 2 MISSILES
FOR THE LAST GROUND TARGET. Try to defeat the F-5 first, they are the
worst Fighters on the game so they should be easy. When you have only
30 seconds left, go and finish the ground targets.

two F-4, Lightning, Mig-21, F-5, four Facility.

Mission Time: 2 minutes 25 seconds
The time for the mission on the select screen says 10:00, but if you
let the Blackbird unattended it take off and go out of the operation
area in 2:25, so you need to rush as soon as you enter the Mission, the
2 Blackbirds are going to refill it's fuel tank on 2 cistern planes,
that's your chance to get near of it and shoot it down, as soon as you
get near them start breaking or you will pass them and lose time, when
you are behind them shoot with the Machinegun AND the Missiles.
You may want to buy a fast Jet for this mission like the Mig-31.

and an F-22.
Mission Time: 10 minutes
Here you are going to use all the practice you have on Dog Fighting,
The enemies come in couples so focus on the Yellow target. The skill of
the enemies isn't very good, just keep an eye on your radar to see if
someone it's on your tail.
Try to take out the first 3 main objectives fast to have enough time
to deal with the F-22, this Jet it's a STEALTH Fighter so you only see
a blink of it on the radar.

like 2 minutes to beat them, now you have to wait for the Commercial
Jet's pilot to tell you it's ready to take off, then 4 more Fighters
will appear from the West, stay behind and away of the Commercial Jet
(not too far, keep it close to the edge of your radar on the Short
Range) and they will enter on your aim to attack the Commercial Jet,
now you only have to keep shooting and they will turn to avoid your
attack, just keep your position behind the Commercial Jet and shoot them
and you will be fine, If you beat the Fighters before they shoot down
the Jet just wait to reach the safe air space.

the base you find some Helicopters, they take 3 Missiles or 2 Missiles
and some Machinegun's fire. When you reach the Supply Base you are
still surrounded for the defense system so don't fly too high.

POW facilities, Now the towers have 2 targets: the tower itself on
yellow that take 2 Missiles and the Gun on top of the tower on Green,
on Normal or Hard if you shoot the Gun you have to shoot again to

have to shoot down a Mig-21 with a good pilot while you avoid the
others Fighters.

locomotive that have a yellow target (Press UP on the D PAD to select
the target).
If the locomotive enter the 1st tunnel before you destroy it brake and
wait for it to come out of the other side of the tunnel, if it enters
the 2nd tunnel you can't reach it any more and the mission fails. After
you shoot a train, the next come out of the station, so you have to be
fast. Go for the first train, shoot 2 missiles to the machine, then
turn, follow your radar or your map to go to the next train, shoot the

repeating until you destroy all the trains, now go and destroy the 2

Jets let 1 ground target left and then go to chase them, just remember
to save 2 missiles for the last ground target, OH! and watch your time.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Main Objective: Destroy all the M.R.M.T.Missiles and an F-20.
Mission time: 10 minutes
As soon as you start follow the Red Arrow of your radar to find the
First Missile, the Mission map it's very useful too (press down on the
D PAD to display it) to locate the missiles. Each Missile take 2 hits
of your Missiles, so always shoot 2 missiles to them, turn and go find
the next. Only after shooting all the Incoming missiles you should go
and fight the F-20.

shoot the cockpit again (I'm not sure if takes 3 or 4 missiles). Now go
for the Base.
The "BASE" it's a hole on the ground full of machineguns, Missile
launchers and another Flying fortress, first take care of all the
machineguns on the upper side of the base, then go for the missile
launcher, now the Flying Fortress and then all that's left. Here you
find the YF-23 so you may want a good Fighter like the F-15S, you are
going to need it later any way.
List of enemies: three Attack ship, four Rafale, four YF-23, AV-18, two
missile pod, eleven gun pod, two M1, two XBC-97 (the flying fortress).
------------------------------------------------------------------------

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Main Objective: Destroy the Recon Base, all the Castle's Defenses and a
Mig-29.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mission 14: Satellite Intercept Mission
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Main Objective: Destroy the Solar Panels of the Falling Satellite.
Mission Time: 1 minute 45 seconds
This it's a very hard mission on Normal, let alone Hard, (on easy it's
easy). When you start the satellite it's coming to you, break, aim to
one Solar Panel and shoot with the missiles AND the machinegun, speed
up and turn following the satellite, keep accelerating and aim for the
Solar Panels and shoot again with missiles and machinegun, you have to
come very close to the satellite so the machinegun hits the Solar
Panels, Now here it's the difficult part: you have to control your
brake and accelerator to keep your distance to the satellite and aim to
the Solar Panel and keep shooting with both weapons. This takes a LOT
of practice, and I mean A LOT.
Stay close and focus on a Solar Panel until you destroy it, then go to
the next. You will see some Jets coming to you, ignore them and keep
shooting, by the time the two F-15 pass in front of you, you must have
Destroyed at least 1 Panel and be shooting to the 2nd. They will hit
you, but you can Destroy all the Solar Panels Before they Take out
all you Life.
The key to pass this mission it's aim and shoot as close and fast as
you can. As you get closer to the Satellite the Missiles need less time
to reach it and you can fire again faster.
You need a very good plane to make this mission more easy, you can
choose between a fast plane like the F-15S to get close fast, or a
Strong plane that can take a lot of damage like the A-10 to have more
time to shoot the satellite before the enemy shoot you down.
List of enemies: satellite, two X-36, two F-15, two m944.
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Turn to the NW direction from the beginning and you will find the Base.
You have to destroy 5 Submarines that take 3 Missiles each one. The
radar and the Objective Marker aren't working on this Mission because
of the snow, then it's hard to find the Fighters, so just Shoot the
Submarines. But If you want to prove how good you are, this it's the
place!
List of enemies: three Ice breaker, two Mig-31, two EF2000, two F-18,
three gun pod, two missile pod, five submarine, two Jas 39, two Su-37.
------------------------------------------------------------------------

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Main Objective: Destroy the Base inside the Mountain and take out the
Jas39.
Mission Time: 10 minutes
On the mission beginning you can see a radar and 2 machineguns that
protect the tunnel that leads to the Base, shoot just one of the
machineguns and enter, now brake, wait to see the base and shoot all
you can to the Jets and facilities, you can't destroy all the base the
first time so keep going straight and you enter another tunnel that
leads you out again on the other side of the mountain, there are other
2 machineguns, shoot 1 when you come out of the tunnel and in front of
you are another radar, shoot it and turn to enter the tunnel again, Now
shoot the 2nd machinegun, enter the tunnel destroy some more of the
base, go out again, shoot the remaining machine gun, and enter again
until you destroy anything inside the base (it may take 3 or 4 times).
Now go to fight the Jas39, some of the others Jets are STEALTH Fighters
so you only see a blink of them on the your radar.

this are very hard enemies and you may lose a lot of time trying to
beat them, Since they are not main objectives you can just ignore them.
