Rank Structure
--------------
Within the Mission Roster, there is a rank structure for campaign play.
Theranks, in order of seniority, are:
        Colonel
        Lieutenant Colonel
        Major
        Captain
        1st Lieutenant

Honour, are needed for further promotion.

Duel Mode, Missions and What If? If selected, the Configuration Menu will
appear and then return you to the correct place in the game after
selecting OK.

Chaff and Flares Messages

randomises the starting positions of the enemy aircraft. The facility to 
set the starting altitude has been removed.

SAM defence of ships
--------------------
In addition to SAM launchers on the ground, there are now SAM launchers 
providing point defence of certain ships in the Falklands.

Carrier Landings
----------------
To land on carriers, either with the Sea Harrier or the F4 Phantom, line 
up your aircraft with the rear of the carrier.

Modem Play : Initialisation String
----------------------------------
When accessing your modem through the Modem Setup Screen you are provided
with the option to adjust your modem initialisation string. In most cases
the default string provided will be suitable, but if necessary click on
the 'Init String' button and type in the string appropriate to your modem.

Modem Play : Tone Dialling
--------------------------
If your telephone supports tone dialling this can be activated by
preceding the telephone number with the letter T. In the absence of such
a letter the system will default to pulse dialling.

------------------------------------------------------------
It is not possible to use pause, eject or time advance when connected to 
another machine under Direct Connect or Modem Play.

Modem and Direct Connect : 2400 Baud supported
----------------------------------------------
The specification for the modem link has changed since writting
the technical supplement and currently only supports  2400 baud. 

Modem and Direct Connect : Line Interference
--------------------------------------------
On occasion there will be sufficient noise on the link to make a sound connection
impossible. In these circumstances the program will simply return the user 
to the modem set up screen to enable a second attempt to connect.

Chat Mode
---------
Following connection via Direct Connect or Modem Connect we  have now
provided the ability for the two players to communicate prior to
commencing battle. The Chat mode screen consists of the following:

Remote Panel: Displays text information from the other player
Local Panel:  Text typed here will immediately appear on the Remote
              panel of the other player.
Hang-Up:      Terminates the communications session, hangs up the modem
              if appropriate and returns the player to the main option
              screen.
Start Game:   Takes the player to the Aircraft select screen for the
              forthcoming dogfight.

You will find that occasionally control characters from the 3D code will 
be echoed to the remote panel. This is normal and should be ignored 

Messages
--------
In addition to the Chat Mode Screen before battle, players using Direct
Connect or Modem Play can send text messages to each other while flying.
To do this type Alt-M. This will bring up a message box, type in your
text, followed by return, and your message will be displayed on the
screen of the other player. Displayed messages will automatically clear
after a suitable time interval.

While typing a message the keyboard is disabled for the purposes of
flying the aircraft but control can be maintained using the joystick.

Message mode is not available on the F9 map screen.
