FIGHTER PILOT
Fighter Pilot: Ready, Aim, Fire is designed to have you in the cockpit and flying within minutes of installation and start up. Missions begin with you at the controls, in the air and ready to take on all comers. The campaign in the game evolves as the missions pile up, each with specific objectives ranging from simple escort service to in-your-face, up-close-and-personal dogfights.
The game is fully configurable in both mission difficulty and gameplay options. You can choose to play as a novice, veteran, expert or ace, with the length of delay in missile fire rates the main differentiating factor. At the novice level, the delay between firing is only one second but increases to four seconds at the hardest (ace) level. Gameplay is somewhat linear in that you must at least attempt the missions in a pre-assigned order before advancement to the next is permitted.
Three means of control are offered by Fighter Pilot including joystick, keyboard and mouse while several pre-game options are provided to allow for complete customization of the game. If the invulnerability option is used, the worry of being shot out of the sky (at the sacrifice of realism) is eliminated. Another option is the availability of unlimited ammunition for those with a heavy hand on the firing button.
The use of 3Dfx acceleration is not required but is highly recommended to take advantage of smooth scenery transitions and fluid aircraft movement. Full or partial screen size is optional depending on the power of your machine. The game also is designed to slip into demo mode if no action is taken from the main menu screen within ten seconds -- another feature that can be toggled off if desired.
As pilot, if you get disoriented you can take advantage of a navigation map that allows you to get your bearings relative to mission objectives and waypoints while pausing the game. Both air-to-air and air-to-ground mission objectives are important to the successful completion of a campaign and each requires specific weapons and tactics. You'll fly the F/A-18, F-117 (stealth), F-22 and the extremely fast Su-35 as you strive for air supremacy.
Up to eight players can compete over a network, four on the Internet or two via modem or serial cable for one-on-one dogfights. Numerous allied support aircraft are featured in Fighter Pilot: Ready, Aim, Fire and include the AWACS, additional air-to-air combat power with the F/A-18 and F-22, extra air-to-ground power with the F-4G and defensive posturing with the EF-111.

WHAT YOU GET:
This item is for the original media, and includes only the media (ie. CD, floppy ...) UNLESS specifically stated above and/or in the title. If more than just the media is included, it will state which items are (ie. box, manual, etc ). Items that come in a sleeve refer to a generic CD sleeve (typically white) and will be sent with shipping protection to avoid damage during transit. If available, we will also send the front and/or back CD inserts if in stock. If these are important to you, please message us to verify we have them available to send. Please do not assume items are included other than what's stated. Again, ask questions PRIOR to purchasing if you have any concerns.
IMAGES:
All images/pictures are stock photos and are for reference only, mainly to show the type of game you will be getting. Please read "WHAT YOU GET" for what is included with the media. Screenshots may vary based on your own computer system, video card, monitor, etc.
COMPATIBILITY:
Computers are like people, each one is different. Unlike console games, a computer game may install and work flawlessly on one system but may need adjustments on another. This is due to a variety of factors, mainly the OS platform running, video card you have, drivers, protection software installed, etc. Many times manufacturers release updates to games to fix bugs and add enhancements. We would be happy to help get the game going on your computer, but ultimately compatibility issues are the responsibility of the buyer. We suggest going to Google and searching for the name of the game along with the words "system requirements" to determine if your system is suitable. Ultimately, we are not responsible for software compatibility problems or publisher's errors.
PLATFORM:
Stated within the auction is what platform the game will work on (ie. Windows, Mac, Linux...) This is a generic statement and specific platform versions (ie. XP, Vista...) will have to be researched by the buyer. Games that came out PRIOR to XP or higher will not specifically state they will work on that release, but only because they came out before those versions were made. Many, if not most, will work on XP or higher with a few quick adjustments. We provide instructions with all items purchased on how to do this adjustment using the Program Compatibility Wizard. If we find out that an item will definately not work on a specific version, we will state it. For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program if the Program Compatibility Wizard does not work.
64-Bit Windows OS Systems:
For 64-bit Operating Systems, older games most likely will NOT work due to 64-bit systems not being able to run 16-bit programming code (most games prior to 2000). For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program.
Macintosh Systems:
For Macintosh programs, most older games will need to be run in Classic Environment if you have a MAC OS X 10.0 - 10.4 version. Please research Google on how to do this, or send us a message for information prior to purchasing. If your MAC OS system doesn't support Classic Environment (ie. MAC OS X 10.5 or Higher OR Intel Macs), you will have to try running it using the free program called SheepShaver, but compatibility is not ensured. Please research prior to purchasing or ask questions.
MEDIA FORMAT:
Please verify you have the required hardware in order to use the specified media (ie. CD, DVD, floppy drives, etc.) If the item comes as a floppy disc, make sure you have either the needed 3.5" floppy drive or the bigger and older 5.25" floppy drive.
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR A SMOOTH PURCHASE:
Ask questions PRIOR to purchasing an order to avoid any confusion.
Be patient if there are problems during installation or gameplay. Typically someone else has
already ran into that problem and has listed a solution online. Contact us and we will do our best to help.
Be sure to update your video card drivers and search for updates to the game from the manufacturer.
