Velocity's Jetfighter II

---

is the best PC flight simulator we, at OGS WWW Publishers P.O.D. Div., have ever found, in that it takes up very little diskspace, runs very well on slow machines (note: Pentiums may have trouble - use moslo.exe or another application to make your processor think it runs slower than it actually does), is not hard to master, has relatively great graphics, and produces a mighty fine recreational bang for the buck.
Since 1990, we have enjoyed flying JF2 immensely. As we already went the full round, we thought it only decent to write down what we learned for you. Have fun!

Take-Off

From flight deck:

Press ´0´ to rev up engine, press ´0´ again when 100-value is reached to activate afterburner, press ´G´ to lift gear.
For ground targets, now activate M82 or M84 bombs with the Enter key. Then use ´Z´ and ´X´ to position the arrow at the top of the Heads Up Display in the center. You will now be moving towards your first target, designated on the video-display, bottom right.
For air targets, activate missiles, toggle video-display to ´Air Targets´ using the F2-key, find target on radar and use ´T´ to designate. When within range, aircraft type, velocity and altitude will be displayed in the video-display, bottom right. Do not mistake these ciphers for your own: your altitude is on the right side of the HUD, your speed on the left. The small circle in the centre of the HUD always designates the real point of impact for your airplane in its current position.

From airstrip

Same, but after activating afterburner, press ´B´ to release wheelbrake, and ´Arrow down´ for lift-off. Then toggle gear.

Shooting down an enemy

Find it (use radar and map for this; on the map, your aircraft and any friendly aircraft appear as a white arrow, the enemy as a red arrow), fly towards it.
When using Sidewinder-missiles, position yourself about two-thousand feet above opponent, and slightly to his side. The moment he´s about to scoot out of your HUD, fire. Enemy will at times launch a missile that destroys your own. Fly on, and wait until enemy´s radar blip turns white (for out of range). Turn around, try again.
When using AMRAAM-missiles, keep the enemy in the target designator after you fire your missile. It needs to track all the way for it to find its target. However, your height in relation to the height of your enemy is of no importance whatsoever when using these missiles.

Bombing a target

Lower speed to 40 when about 6 miles out. Fly over target (use brake if revs 40 is too fast for you) at low altitude. When target designator drops from HUD, drop bombs. Target line on bottom right video display will light up red if target is hit.

Landing

On flight deck

Lower your speed to 40 when you´re about 7 miles out. Apply brake, lower gear and arrestor hook. Very carefully have your aircraft reach a 70-feet altitude, and have it maintain this (this is possible after some training; the trick is in the carefulness of it all: use very slight touches of the flight controls). Then follow the ILS home. When on deck, kill engine and apply wheelbrake.

On airstrip

Lower speed to 40 when 7 miles out. Apply brake, drop gear. Carefully land. When on strip, kill engine and apply wheelbrake.

Winning a war

Fly well, don´t get killed. Pick missions with the most points. Be careful out there.

BE ADVISED

Speeds mentioned above apply only to the Advanced Tactical Fighter. Speeds will generally have to be increased by ten for any other aircraft, so as to keep you from falling down...
