Spectrum Holobyte merely DISTRIBUTE it, actually they do generate new binaries and new packaging but they have nothing to do with its DESIGN which was undertaken in England independently of the entire Electronic Battlefield concept. So please don't waste your time wondering if you can use it to go H2H with the Falcon, or complaining that Falcon has button X but Tornado uses button Q or lacks the button altogether, etc, etc. Totally different game. Get it? Somebody put this in the FAQ list. [ What FAQ, sigh... 1/4 :-) --Jeff ] MiG-29, on the other hand, is totally an F3 add-on and ought to be held to all EBS standards by players and reviewers when it ships. - -- Tom Neff tneff@mimiki.win.net ------------------------------- From: Andrew.Stevens@prg.oxford.ac.uk Subject: Tornado email >I'll probably send a message to Spectrum Holobytes e-mail at compuserve, so >they can look into the problem.

[shift -] is analogous. If You are in reheat watch the fuel consumption indicator when You go through the reheat stages.
