B17 FLYING FORTRESS - HINTS `N` TIPS

                  ====================================



o   Take some time to observe how the gunners aim for fast-moving fighters.

    Make regular checks on the outside view to see if your engines are all

    right. If your co-pilot has been hit, you will not get a warning

    message.



o   Circling Alconbury, use <Shift> <F8> and external views to line up on

    the field.



o   The (Dennis) Norden bomb sight usually gives you the release cue at

    about four notches of deflection, but there is no substitute for

    practice.



o   Try diving between 350-400mph. This becomes very useful later when one

    fire extinguisher per engine is not enough.



o   Fly over big cities and press <F8> to see the sights.



o   When navigating manually, use the rudder to steer the plane from the

    pilot`s intrumental view.



o   When making navigation checks, use a combination of the navigator`s

    instrument and external views to orientate the map.



o   Keep at least one pilot healthy as the plane can go in a spin if it`s

    in a turn when hit. This gives you time to bail out.



o   When you`re being attacked, use <Z> and <X> to change to a fighter,

    then <Shift> <F1> to see the battle from the pilot`s point of view.



o   If you prefer to manually taxi the aircraft, avoid steering on to the

    grass. Speeds above 30mph will snap the gear. If you make a mess of it,

    use the keys <Alt> <T> to get you into the air and up with the

    formation.



o   Regularly check that the crew are all OK and that the guns aren`t

    jammed. It`s easy to miss the messages in the heat of combat.



o   Using the radio operator to send a Mayday message improves your chances

    of survival when bailing out.



o   Fuel leaks can be critical to the success of a mission. If necessary,

    turn off an engine or two and drop out of the formation to conserve

    fuel.



o   If in doubt, bail out. Landing an engine-less. bullet riddled,

    flame-scorched B-17 after the completion of a mission is risky and

    difficult. Bail out over the Channel to ensure your mission is a

    success.



o   Remember, an engine left to burn is like a bomb waiting to go off.



o   Flying at a very low altitude helps avoid flak, but remember to gain

    height before starting the bombing run.



o   Flying manually to the target on a self-determined course helps you

    avoid enemy fighters and flak. Get the formation to follow your lead,

    but don`t get lost.



o   Let the computer-controlled gunners track the targets and then take

    over for the kill.



o   Before landing, attempt to heal injured crew or they get hospitalised.



o   Having more than one crew member available to perform first aid

    increases the chances of success.
