Strap yourself in and take to the skies!
You are the Air Force’s most decorated pilot ready to embark
on some of your most dangerous missions yet. When you strap
on your head unit and look at the screen inside, you are actually
looking through the front windshield of your jet and into the
night sky, high above enemy territory.
YOUR OBJECTIVE
Your mission is to locate each enemy jet (“bogie”) on the radar
screen and maneuver your jet into a position where the bogie is
in your targeting cross-hairs. When you have it in your sights,
you can launch a rocket or fire your machine gun at the bogie in
an attempt to shoot it down.
Shoot down all enemy planes during each mission to advance
to the next one. There are a total of 10 missions to complete to
win the battle. More and faster bogies will be encountered as
you advance through higher levels. Good luck, Pilot!
SETTING UP YOUR AIRFORCE I-COMBAT UNIT
POWERING UP
This game is powered by two (2) AA-size batteries. To install
the batteries, unscrew the battery compartment door located
on the side of the joystick. Then insert 2 AA-size batteries (we
recommend alkaline). Make sure to align the + and - with the
markings in the plastic. Then replace the battery compartment
door. This unit’s automatic shutoff feature will help extend the
life of the batteries.
STRAPPING IN
To adjust the head unit to fit comfortably and securely on your
head, slide the headphones closer to or further from the viewing
unit. Attach the top strap, then slide it closer to or further from
the headphones as well. You may also loosen or tighten the
elastic back strap by repositioning the fastening strip. You will
hear sounds of the game through the headphones. Press the
Sound button to turn the sound on and off.
IT’S TIME FOR TAKEOFF!
Press the trigger on the joystick to wake the unit (The unit goes
into sleep mode if the game has not been played for 60 sec-
onds). Press NEW GAME.
You will hear a special tone
and see the current mission
number. Press the trigger
again, and the game has now
begun and you are flying at
10,000 feet.
FLYING
This game unit utilizes a patented Virtual Motion Sensor tech-
nology to steer the jet. This technology allows you to simply tilt
the joystick to turn right, turn left, climb or dive. The altitude
bars show if you are climbing and diving, and at what angle this
occurs. Keep an eye on your altitude in the lower-right corner of
the screen, because if you fly into the ground (0 feet) or above
100,000 feet, you will crash. Hold the joystick level and press
the VMS RESET button to reset the horizon.
ENGAGING THE ENEMY
Your radar, in the lower left corner of the screen, shows the
location of the bogies in your area. The top wedge of the radar
represents the sky in front of
you. When you see other
planes enter your radar screen
from the side or behind, turn
toward them to get them into
your sites. If the bogie is on
your left side, turn left by tilt-
ing the joystick to the left.
WEAPONS
You can shoot at bogies
with either a missile or with
your machine gun. Press
the WEAPON button to
switch between the two
weapons.
Missiles
When using missiles, you must keep the bogie in the cross-
hairs for a second for your jet’s computer to get a lock on the
target. Press the trigger to get off a shot. If you lock onto a
bogie and don’t fire quickly enough, the bogie will make an
evasive maneuver and the lock will be lost. You can fire a mis-
sile without a lock on your target, but the chances of hitting it
are not as good.
One hit by a missile is enough to destroy an enemy jet. But try
to conserve your missiles since you only have a limited number
of them.
