[comp.sys.amiga.games] F-29 Retaliator

d89um@efd.lth.se (Ulf Magnusson) (06/05/90)

Anyone played this fantastic game/simulator?

A few things bugs me though.

1 - I start as LtCOL and when I have played for a while I get promoted to 
     Captain - and to Major - and to Colonel. All in 3 seconds. Is this a bug
    or what?

2 - When I play at the Middle East scenario, don't remember the mission, but
    I am supposed to attack some tanks crossing a border at the west of the
    battlefield. I can't find the f&$#%@* tanks! How shall I do?

3 - How can I use the MFDS (or what the name is) nr 2. The screen in the
middle       when I use the mode with the horizont and a radar beam or
something, scanning     from side to side.  Don't tell me to read the
manual. I have tryed that...

I'm thankful for every experience you have with this great combination ,
Shoot'em Up/Flight Simulator.

Hiya. I've been considering a flight simulator, and as I've always been a
sucker for the latest in technology, F-29 caught my eye. A chance to
fly an X-29 (Yes, I still have my old newspaper clippings of it....) or
the more mysterious ATF got me excited, however, I recalled the thread
on it running thru this newsgroup, and I wonder if some kind person
might summarize its pros and cons, preferably by post, since many
new readers have most likely jumped on and would also be interested in
knowing...

Thank you, and good day.
