TWO TYPES OF CONTROL:
MOTION CONTROL
tilt the iPhone/iPod left and right to roll, and tilt it back and forth to pull back on the stick and pitch up and down.
TOUCH CONTROL
drag your finger on the middle of the screen like an actual flight control stick. (We prefer the motion control though).
TWO VIEWS
Cockpit View shows the pilots perspective although from outside and behind the plane.
Dogfight View can be quickly selected inflight and shows the closest bogey to you relative to your position. This allows you to Check Six OClock. Dont be limited to the small screen field of view (though dont spend alot of time in this view, it gets confusing and is just meant to find bogeys behind you).
Pointer arrows also point you in the direction of bogeys (toggle on and off).
SHOOT 50 caliber machine guns or heat seeking rockets at your enemy (the rockets are advanced prototypes for the 1940s, and therefore not as high tech as todays missiles... you are still going to need to be good with your guns).
Three difficulty levels dictate how skilled your opponents are, as you work your way through 9 levels of play. Defeat your opponent 5 times and you win the level (you can start at any level you wish, but beware, every level forces you to face more enemy at the same time!) You will need to beat 9 enemy fighters at once to beat the last level and become an ACE!!!
Fight in three arenas: Europe, the Pacific, or North Africa.
Hear bullets whiz by your head as the enemy tracks you down, but misses as you maneuver to escape.
The flight controls and enemy tactics were designed by an actual Military Fighter Pilot, so get on your game!
TIPS:
SHOOT in front of the bogey and let him fly into your bullets. Pull your nose out in front, start shooting, then ease off the pull!
USE FULL THROTTLE to escape from bogeys, but pull the throttle way back when you are maneuvering in to shoot!
