How to play Chuck Yeagers Air Combat
Startup Parameters
When you start Yeager Air Combat, the program automatically
detects the best graphics mode for your computer and starts the
game in that mode. However, if you want to start the game in a
different graphics mode, you can do so by adding a few extra
characters (called arguments) to the start command.
EXAMPLE: Let's say you want to load the game with EGA graphics
mode and use a joystick. You'd type YEAGER EGA JOYSTICK and press
Enter.
The order of the extra arguments doesn't matter as long as
there's a space between each argument.
These are the arguments you can use:
EGA Loads game with EGA graphics.
MCGA Loads game with MCGA graphics (Same graphics as VGA,
but slower. Maintains compatibility with PS/2 25
and 30).
VGA Loads game with VGA graphics.
SLOWCARD When you are in MCGA or VGA mode, if the game freezes
on startup, or if you get sound but the wrong colors
or no colors at all, try this parameter. It slows down
the interface between the computer and the video card.
FASTCARD Deactivates Slowcard.
JOYSTICK Loads game with joystick flight control.
KEYBOARD Loads game with keyboard flight control.
MOUSE Loads game with mouse flight control.
MOUSE2 Loads game with high-resolution mouse flight control.
LOW Loads game in low graphics detail mode (less detail
speeds up game play).
MEDIUM Loads game in medium graphics detail mode (less details
speeds up game play).
HIGH Loads game in high graphics detail mode.
NOSOUND Loads game with sound turned off.
NOSPEECH Loads game with digitized speech turned off.
PC Loads game with PC internal speaker sounds.
ADLIB Loads game with AdLib sound card sounds.
BLASTER Loads game with Sound Blaster sound card sounds.
Chuck Yeagers Air Combat Description
Unlike many other flight simulation games of its day, altitude and aircraft characteristics have a big influence on the behaviour of the game's simulated aircraft. Many missions take place at the limits of the aircraft's performance, challenging the player to keep the plane within its flight envelope. For instance, the opening Historical mission as a Luftwaffe pilot pits their Focke-Wulf Fw 190 against the group of unescorted B-17s, but at an altitude that makes even basic flying difficult.
Realism has been sacrificed to some degree to enhance gameplay, however, e.g., a real fighter plane expends all of its ammunition after a few short bursts, while in Chuck Yeager's Air Combat the rate of fire has been reduced considerably, making dog fights longer. To assist a newcomer to the game several help features can be activated, such as unlimited ammunition or easier aiming. A virtual Chuck Yeager can be activated, who gives advice.
