DEMO FAQ

Q. What do I do when my cockpit view keeps changing ?
A You probably need to recalibrate your joystick's coolie hat,
Press ALT J. The view will start shifting, press the coolie
hat up with your thumb, and you should be in the gunner view
point and the joystick will be correctly set.

Q. What should I do if the Demo ABORTS?
A. If the game ABORTS on you please run SCANDISK to be sure
that any allocated virtual memory disk space is released. Re-runnig
the game will also free up and reuse the disk space.

Q. What is the difference between Arcade and Invincible modes in
the main menu of the demo ?
A. In Arcade mode you are flying shooting down targets and can be
shot down, but when you die or crash the game will record your
high score. In invincible mode you are unstoppable, and cannot
be shot down, but the game will not record your high score.

Q. I was flying in invincible mode and the game went back to the
menu screen without any warning, it also did not put my high
score on the list.
A. This is just a demo version of Apache and you only have a limited
amount of flying time (10 minutes). In invincible mode, your score
is not recorded. This would be unfair to the people flying in Arcade
mode who run the risk of being shot down.

Q. What is the difference between Realistic and Arcade mode of
flight in the Preferences screen ?
A. With Realistic flight you are able to do rolls, loops and exploit
the true potential of the Apache flight model. In Arcade mode you
are not able to do rolls and loops, but the Apache is easier to
control and does not require the degree of manual dexterity that
Realistic flight requires.
