This setup is similar to the F16 template, but the vehicle commands have been removed due to the FX stick having 6 less buttons than the F16 stick. You should also note that there is no bail out key programmed as I use a Master Pilot console with this system and the bail out key is on that. The Master Pilot gives me an extra 120 programmable buttons, most of these are used for bomber pilot and crew commands, like jumping to gunners positions with one button press instead of four, assigning the number of bombs to drop in the same way and also buttons for feathering individual engines. I suggest you reassign a joystick key for your bail out command. The Tallyho macro is combined with turning on the camera. So when I sight the enemy I tell my wingmen that I am engaging and turn on my gun camera in one go. As this setup is complimented by my Master Pilot console I have included the template for that below. Vulch's Force FX files (graphic and .ptw) vulchfx.exe 42K self extracting zip file.

This setup is almost a complete reverse of my own(Vulch), with throttle and stick buttons swopped over. It interestingly includes detail buttons (fulldetail, minimum detail) for helping to see the acks, (they show up better in minimum detail).

Some of the keys are unassigned in this template. Note that airbrakes and brakes are the same key, (spacebar) but airbrakes only work in the air and only on some aircraft. RGJ's Force FX files (graphic and .ptw) rgjfx.exe 39K self extracting zip file.

The 8 way hat on the stick is assigned to the 8 level views. Forward, forward right, right, rear right, rear, rear left, left and forward left. You can combine these views with the up and down view on the throttle, giving you not only up, but forward and up, forward and up and right, forward and right, etc. This gives you a total of 26 views, although not all of them have artwork assigned. The three sight keys combine commands to free up buttons on the throttle. Selecting the dive bombing sight not only selects the sight, but also arms the bombs and selects single bomb release. Selecting gunsight reverts back to the gunsight and disarms the bombs in case you decided not to drop them. The level bombing key takes you to the Nordon bomb sight, opens the bomb bay doors and selects single bomb release. Pressing it again takes you out of the Nordon view and closes the bomb bay doors. Another combination is Bail Out and F5 view. I normally fly in F7 full screen view, but if you bail out in F7 you cannot see your altimeter, to know when to pull the ripcord. Therefore when I bail out I am automatically taken to F5 view. Pressing bail out again pulls the ripcord. Vulch's F16 Fighterstick files (graphic and .ptw) vulchf16.exe 44K self extracting zip file

Taff's setup is almost the complete opposite of mine (Vulch). All the view commands are on the throttle as are the commands for engines, brakes, wep and bail out. The stick buttons cover weapons, navigation and communication. This is really the reason this page is here, to cover all the combinations that I would never have thought of.

New Features ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - The critical mach number for the onset of compressibility for the P-47 has been increased. - The color of the frame rate counter has been changed for all 3D cards to the color of the 'Full Screen Text'. This color can be altered in 'User Preferences' under the 'Flight Window' tab. Bug Fixes ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - In the ever continuing quest for speed, optimizations of the 3.12 code led to problems with some forms of collision detection. The problems are now fixed. - The frame rate counter position has been changed on 3D cards that operate with page-flipping, such as two Voodoo IIs operating in SLI mode. The counter now appears in the upper right-hand corner of the flight window. Interactive Magic A3GU313.exe Version Number: 3.13 Last Update: July 31, 1999

Air Warrior III Demo (Kesmai, Interactive Magic 1997) Publisher: I-Magic Platform: Windows95 File Date: 12-22-1997 Details: Simulation/Sport Required: P90 - 16MB RAM Download: AW3Demo.EXE - 21.4Mb This is a playable demo of the box version of Air Warrior III. aw3demo.exe (21.4Mb) is a self-extracting, self-installing archive. Just download the file and run it. You will need Windows 95, a Pentium90, at least 16 MB RAM and 35 MB HDD. Also, DirectX 5.0 or higher must be installed on your machine. Numerous 3D cards are supported. A readme file is also included for viewing. It includes an instant action mission and an historical mission where you fly with the U.S. Navy Squadron, VF-17 - The Jolly Rogers. The terrain included, however, is not one of the very large scale terrains offered in the box version. This was done to keep the file size low. However, this should give you a good idea of how the game looks and plays, especially if you have a Direct 3D compatible video card.
