Game Guide
Extracted from the original game manual
This is a military simulation game where players undertake covert operations in various global hotspots. You'll engage in missions like hostage rescue and neutralizing enemy strongholds, often requiring stealth and tactical vehicle combat.
Story
CAMPAIGN: AFRICA
Welcome to the Okavango Delta region of Northern Botswana. A few days ago, a terrorist task force attacked the offices of a growing civilian political anti-terrorist party, abducting their leader, Mr. Hakous Gharman. This man represents a critical chance for peace and stability in this region and must be rescued at all costs.
The terrorist group has supplied details of their ransom demands, which include the release of a number of 'political prisoners' along with a vast amount of cash. Intelligence believes that Mr. Gharman is still alive but expects that even if the demands are met, the hostage is likely to face execution.
An area deep within the Okavango Delta has been identified as the terrorist group's hideout, and it's here that the hostage is thought to be held. This rescue mission is to take place at night, and a stealth approach is to be adopted.
Move out, you will be updated with latest intel as you fly, rescue and deliver the package to an allied airport in Angola... happy hunting.
CAMPAIGN: MIDDLE EAST
Welcome back to the Middle East, one of the world's most highly volatile regions. Let's get right down to business. The enemy has taken possession of an oil rig in the Red Sea off the Saudi coast.
They are using this as a fuel resource, and it has subsequently been heavily armored. The rig holds a very strong forward tactical position, offering early warning of any threat of attack to the nearby region. The defense capabilities of the rig need to be neutralized in order to allow access to the Iraqi coastline.
Allied intelligence has discovered an active chemical plant currently producing chemical weaponry. In order to capture this plant, a landing point has been established along the Iraqi coastline. At this point, new grid references of further plants will be forwarded onto you; these targets must also be destroyed.
Please man your vehicles, mission specifics will be directed to you in due course... good luck.

ORIENTATION
MISSION BRIEFING ROOM
Upon selection of a campaign, you will be escorted to the Mission Briefing Room. Here you will receive top-secret mission briefing documents including tactical information, current Intel, and mission objectives.
Study this information well. All up-to-date Intel and recon is made available to you to ensure the upper hand in each mission.
Upon successful completion of each mission, you will be returned here to receive the next mission briefing. Press the button to confirm you have received your orders and proceed immediately to the AH74 hanger for mission equipping supervision.
GAME CONTROLS
ARMAMENT SCREEN
After selecting a campaign, you will be transferred to the AH74 hanger. Ground tacticians will have prepared a selection of weapons for your mission.
If you agree with their assessment, scroll down to the box marked Exit and press the button. The pre-selected weapons will be displayed on the right of the screen.
If you wish to alter the selection of weapons, you are free to do so. The weapons on the left-hand side of the screen are available for your vehicle.
There is a limit to the payload you can carry, so select the right type of weapon carefully. A brief description of each weapon is alongside its icon to aid your choice.
The weapons on the right of the screen are the currently selected weapons. To change a currently selected weapon, use the Directional buttons to highlight the unwanted weapon on the right. Switch back to the left-hand side, scroll up and down until the desired weapon is highlighted, then press the button and the two weapons will swap places.
As the chopper is only equipped with one gun turret, selecting an alternative gun on the right-hand side will trigger a prompt to replace the existing gun.
Certain weapons will be deemed unsuitable for certain missions and will be badged as 'Unavailable'.
Once you are happy with your payload selection, highlight the Exit box on the left-hand side and press the button, and you're ready for action.
At any time, you can refresh your memory of the mission objectives by pressing the button to return to the briefing room.
Highlighting and selecting the clear box will remove all weaponry, except for your chain gun, from the chopper. Selecting the auto box will rearm using the preselected weaponry for the mission.
Once on-board, you have the choice of 3 views: first or third person or in-cockpit. You can alter between these by pressing the button or the select button.
Now take control of the most sophisticated tactical battlefield vehicle known to man and happy shooting!

COCKPIT INSTRUMENTATION

2. CURRENT TARGET INDICATOR (CTI): Indicates current target lock by way of a computer-enhanced image of the target. This image will not indicate whether the target is friendly or not. Use the HUD indicator, which displays friendly targets in a blue box and enemy targets in red, to check. The CTI indication also displays range to target.
3. SPEED: The speedometer displays your speed relative to the ground.
4. ALTIMETER: The Altimeter indicates your current height from the ground.
