Note : (If the game quits with an error about an "access violation", there is a workaround which may work for you here; in this version I disabled most of the HUD, since that seemed to be causing the problem.)

This is not a full game, just a space to fly around in with some possible enemies. Do not fly too deeply into the clouds; your plane won't like it.

The plane is controlled by moving the mouse. To roll, hold down the left button; this will keep the elevator reasonably centered but give you more control over the ailerons. The mouse wheel controls the throttle. Left control fires the guns.

Left shift switches between a free and a target-tracking camera. Holding down space moves to the internal camera. You can rotate the free camera using the mouse, by holding down the right button. You can zoom the external cameras by scrolling the mouse wheel while holding down the right button.

Tab selects the target nearest the centre of the screen. Z and X cycle between targets. You can press T to hide the clockface around your plane.

Wingman commands are F for "fly formation", A for "attack my target" and C for "choose your own targets."

The Esc key quits, and is the only way to leave the game.
