The Plot !
The last you heard from 009 was just after he had 
infiltrated a meeting of SPUDD (Society of 
Particularly Undesirable Dastardly Dudes: a secret 
organisation made up of arms dealers, mad dictators,
 psychopaths and traffic wardens). The coded 
message that he sent you was along the lines of: 
"SPUDD planning to take over the entire world. 
    Let's do lunch. 
      Cheers,
        009". 
^
Unfortunately, when you arrived at Chez Bond for 
your lunch and secret agent's meeting, you found 
009 slumped over the menu with a knife in his back. 
To cap it all, the steak was under-cooked !
^
MI5, the FBI, NASA, the KGB, MOSSAD and even top 
secret agents from the North Beckinsdale Pigeon 
Fancier's Association swung into action immediately. 
They were swiftly halted in their tracks when they 
received a top level order warning of a massive 
campaign of bribery of government officials in all 
countries. It appeared that any overt attempt to 
destroy SPUDD would result in the downfall of most 
of the world's governments. SPUDD-controlled 
leaders would soon rise to replace them.
^
As the situation has worsened by the day, and 
SPUDD's forces have grown from strength to 
strength, the various agencies have now put 
together an underground task force which they 
hope will combat the growing threat. This elite task 
force comprises one agent (yourself - nice of you to 
volunteer by the way), a highly trained mechanic 
called Harry, and a field support officer to assign 
missions.  The plan is that you will "borrow" aircraft 
from local air forces and carry out secret strike 
missions on SPUDD forces while they are still small 
enough to have to stay hidden.
^
Hopefully, by damaging their supply lines, factories 
and control centres, you should be able to ruin 
their plans of world domination.  However, if you 
wreck too many expensive aircraft, your sponsors 
will not be able to cover for you, resulting in your 
sent back to the secret agent's Basic Training 
School.
^
The Game
Press the @RSCHOOL Red button to learn to fly.
In Jet Strike you must stop the devious SPUDD 
forces by attacking them with your "borrowed" 
aircraft. Your Commanding Officer will give you a 
mission objective which you have to try to achieve 
without being shot down, blown up, crashing into 
mountains or being kidnapped by space aliens (only 
kidding!)
^ 
Upon loading Jet Strike you will see the Game 
Selection Screen. This has a number of buttons 
which allow you to choose how you play the game. 

There are four game variants: Training, Practise, 
Combat and for one to eight players, Aerolympics. 

Move the pointer around the screen using the 
Directional Button. To select an option press
Fire (The RED Button) while the pointer is
above it.
^
Pressing Fire with the pointer above COMBAT, 
PRACTISE or AEROLYMPICS will allow you to load and 
play one of these three variants. To play a training 
mission you should select one of the ten buttons 
which control this mode of Jet Strike.
^
There are the ten Training missions (each designed 
to allow you to familiarise yourself with the Jet 
Strike aircraft). To load any of these press Fire 
with the pointer above the name of one of them. You 
will now be able to play the training missions, 
starting with the one that you selected. The training 
aircraft are fitted with an automatic ejector seat 
which will rocket you out of the aircraft if you 
crash, usually saving your life.  By the way, you only 
have one life and the ejector seats don't always 
work!
^
At the end of training, you will be ready to go to the 
next stage, Practise. In this game variant you will be 
presented with ten simulated missions in which you 
will be up against forces similar to those you will 
encounter in the later combat missions. In Practise, 
you can fly any aircraft. Live ammo is used 
throughout the practise missions, much of which will 
be pointed at you! Once you have made it through 
this stage (and collected your "I'm-ready-for-anything-
that-you-can-throw-at-me-pilot's-licence"), brace 
yourself to confront the forces of SPUDD!
^
In Combat you're on your own! Now, you can only get 
away with wrecking seven of the more expensive 
aircraft before somebody from the Accounts (Active 
Agents) Department notices and gives you your 
marching orders. (Which will be despatched in one of 
those cute little boxes that has a note attached 
which says, "This cute little box will self-destruct in 
five seconds...").
^
The Combat variant of Jet Strike CD32 consists of 
no less than 150 missions. To get to the end of the 
game you'll need speed, cunning, skill, and at least a 
dash of forward planning. You only have one life and 
because of this, there's just the merest hint of a 
possible minute smidgen of a chance that you might 
at some stage fail. To help you overcome the 
frustration that this might cause, Save Points are 
provided at the start of some missions. Each time 
you see one of these you select to save the game at 
this point. This can then be used to start the game 
from the same point later on.
^
For the first Ten missions, you will also have
autoejector seats, to save you from dramatic death
by rocketing you out of the aircraft. As these are
on loan from the Department of Experimental Safety
Devices (Seatbelts and Rocket Seats division) you
will have to give them back after mission Ten,
so don't rely on them !
^
Aerolympics has been designed for One to Eight 
players. Here, you and a friend (or even an enemy) 
take it in turns to fly Five, Ten or Fifteen 
aeronautical tests against the clock. You can't be 
killed - but if you crash, fail your mission or run out 
of time you don't score any points. The aim of this 
game is to get more points than your opponents. 
^
For each mission, players can choose from three
selected aircraft, which range through easy,
medium and difficult. The Easy aircraft earns you
normal points for completion, the medium is worth
double points and the difficult is worth triple.
^
There is a fourth "Random" aircraft available, worth
a Quadruple bonus, but each player can only use the
random aircraft once per game. Random aircraft
cannot be used on the first mission.
^
Following our extensive research (in the lounge bar 
of the Dog and Bucket) we are now able to report 
that not crashing and completing the tasks as 
quickly as possible are the best tactics. To add to 
the challenge you have no weapons (unless specified 
by the mission).
^
Saved Games.  Clicking on the Replay button allows 
you to restart the game from the last saved point.
 
Up to three games can be saved, they are designated
GREEN, YELLOW and BLUE, corresponding to the
button you pressed to save them during the game.
Clicking on the replay button with Red or Green
will replay the Green game, while Yellow and Blue
will replay the Yellow or Blue games.
^
The Options Button lets you make a few adjustments
to the Jet Strike game.

Stick Throttle: Normally, the throttle controls are
duplicated on the Left and Right Directional 
Button controls, as well as the Left and Right
Function Pads. When switched to OFF, only the two
function pad buttons will control the throttle.
^
Quick Mode: When set to ON, the game will skip
directly from screen to screen, without doing any
fades or wipes. This option is handy once you've
already impressed the neighbours and just want to
go into action against the forces of SPUDD!
^
Controller: Several options are available to you to 
change the way your controls work. You can flip the 
controller over if you are right handed, and switch 
to arcade control mode with these options.

Learning To Fly (a crash course!)

The aircraft in Jet Strike fly just like real aircraft 
(sort of), so the first thing that you will have to do 
is learn how to fly!

Select Training 1 (Landing) from the Games Selection 
Screen. You will then see the Aircraft Selection 
Menu. Move the pointer to the aircraft on the top
left of this screen (the Goshawk Trainer) and 
press Fire.
.
%Image 36
^
 @RControls Press the RED Button to view the Controls
.
Pushing the Directional Button up rotates the
aircraft anti-clockwise. Holding it down rotates it
clockwise. This system may seem a little strange, but
once learned it allows you to control the aircraft 
with an amazing degree of accuracy.
^
Fortunately, you have ten training missions and an 
infinite number of aircraft to get use to this system.
 The aircraft's throttle (speed) is controlled by the 
Left & Right Feature Bars at the top of your
controller. Left lowers the throttle and Right
increases it.
When you start training, the Autothrottle is 
switched on, to automatically control your speed. To 
switch it off, press the Green and Blue Buttons 
together.
^
There are a few other controls which are used 
throughout the game. Probably the most important 
of these is the Stop-Start Button which is the ejector 
seat (or bail out) control which will allow you to get 
out of the aircraft in a major hurry. While you are in 
training you won't have to worry about this too much 
as the three aircraft available to you are each 
fitted with automatic ejector seats. This means that 
when you crash, you will automatically be ejected 
from the aircraft - hopefully to safety. However, as 
no escape method is foolproof we may at some point 
have to scrape you off a runway!
^
Let's return to our first Training Mission and the 
Goshawk.
You should, by now, be on the runway and ready to 
go. Hold the Right Feature Bar down. The engine will
speed up to full throttle and the Hawk will start
rolling down the runway. Once the aircraft is going
fast enough, slowly push the directional button down.
The aircraft will now pull up off the runway and
start rotating clockwise. Once it is pointing upwards
release the directional button and it will gain
altitude.
^
You will probably notice that the Autothrottle
system is automatically selected for Training.
This can be switched on and off with
Green & Blue. Autothrottle will automatically
control the throttle of your aircraft, preventing
you from stalling.
^
Now is a good time to pull up the undercarriage by 
pressing The Green Button and Pushing Up at the
same time. A message will come up on the screen
to tell you that the wheels are now up. (If you
do the same again, the undercarriage will go 
back down and so on.)
^
You can check your height by looking at the radar 
display in the bottom right of the screen - the white 
flashing dot is your aircraft and a white line shows 
where your runway is. You also have a low level 
altimeter to the left of this display. This shows your 
height when you are close to the ground.
^
Once you have gained some altitude you can 
experiment and get used to the rotation of the 
aircraft (up/down) as well as the throttle 
control. If you should lose too much speed 
the aircraft will stall and start to fall. To gain 
speed simply throttle up or you could try 
making the aircraft dive until it is going fast enough 
not to stall (but watch out for that solid green 
stuff !) Your airspeed is shown in the display on the 
left of the screen.
^
Landing is the difficult bit! Fortunately for you, 
most of the aircraft in Jet Strike have a built in fly-
by-wire landing system.  To use this put the 
undercarriage down (Green & Up) and then hold down 
Fire (Red) on the Joystick. When the undercarriage 
wheels are down pressing Fire kicks in the fly-by-
wire system. While Fire is held down, the aircraft 
automatically adjusts itself to the correct angle of 
attack and speed to land softly(ish). All you have to 
do is to line the plane up with the runway (this might 
require some practice!)
^
If you get it right, you will touch down on the runway.
 You'll notice that any buildings over your runway 
are "in the background" so you can't crash into them. 
Once you have landed hold the button to the left 
and the aircraft will slow to a halt. Your Commanding 
Officer will now come out and congratulate you on 
finishing your first mission. Landing can be tricky 
and you might not get it right the first time around. 
If you should write off your plane ignore the 
sarcastic comments from Harry, the flight mechanic, 
and get back into the air again!
^
A few tips on landing and surviving
Most of the helicopters and light aircraft, as well 
as the Harrier are able to land on grass, although it 
must be flat (no craters) and the aircraft will tend 
to bounce a bit on landing. Amphibious aircraft, such 
as the Grumman Goose can also land in the water, as 
long as the undercarriage is UP.
^
If your undercarriage should become damaged you 
can attempt to crash-land the aircraft. You should 
come in very slowly and carefully, landing on any 
flat area (grass, runway or water). This is a risky 
business and you should be ready to eject as the 
aircraft may explode or flip over.
^
If you hit the runway too hard in a normal landing 
the undercarriage might collapse leaving you 
skidding towards oblivion.
If, for any reason, you feel that a landing is either 
impossible or too risky you should eject from the 
aircraft. If you do this you will probably survive. 
Some aircraft are not fitted with ejector seats. 
With these you must either gain enough altitude 
before you bail out (to give your parachute time to 
open) or fly very low over water and jump out: if 
you are low enough - you will survive (maybe)!
^
Using Weapons
Once you have completed your first take off and 
landing, you will move onto weapons training. Your 
first task is to bomb a target which is indicated by 
an orange line on your radar screen.
^
At the start of each mission, a message will appear 
on the screen indicating what ammunition Harry 
(your ever vigilant mechanic) has loaded onto your 
aircraft. Gun ammo is nearly always loaded. You can 
normally carry two other weapons on the 
hardpoints or in the bomb bays of your aircraft. 
^
Usually, two weapons will be selected for you at the 
start of each mission and loaded into the two 
weapons systems. These are referred to as left 
weapon and right weapon, but not because they are 
on the left wing and right wing (if they were, the 
aircraft would probably tip over).
^
The Left weapon is fired by pressing the Yellow 
Button, and the Right weapon is fired with the Blue 
Button. The Guns are fired with the Red Fire button. 
These can be used to shoot at virtually anything, 
although different aircraft have different guns 
with differing fire-powers. 
^
If you want to use different weapons from those 
selected by Harry (from the 60 different types of 
bombs, missiles and rockets), push the directional 
button down when the aircraft has stopped on the 
runway.  You'll now see a screen showing an 
inventory of some of the weapons available. (The 
rest can be seen by clicking on the arrow button). 
Click on the items that you want as your left and 
right weapon and then click on DONE. You can also, 
at this stage, pick a different aircraft. To do this, 
click on NEW PLANE.
^
The Left & Right Feature bars can be used 
to flip between the pages.
The Yellow & Blue buttons can also be used to pick 
the Left & Right Weapons directly.
^
As each weapon has its own characteristics, you 
should try out as many as you can while you are in 
training. Some weapons cannot be carried by 
training aircraft. These you will have to try out 
later on.
^
Air-to-air missiles cannot be fired without locking 
them onto an enemy aircraft. When locked on, a box 
will appear on the screen in the direction of the 
aircraft, at this stage you can fire any long- or 
medium-range missiles (such as Phoenix, AMRAAM, 
Sparrow and Skyflash) at the enemy plane. When a 
diamond appears in the box, you can fire short-
range missiles (such as Stinger and Sidewinder) or 
your guns at the opposition.
^
A similar system is used when attacking ground 
targets. A smaller box will appear in the direction of 
the ground target which you have locked on to. You 
can fire air-to-ground weapons without locking on - 
but some of them will just fly off unguided. With 
simple bombs you don't need a lock on - just drop 
them!
^
Helicopters
%Image 38
.
.
.
Once you have finished your training in the "normal" 
aircraft, try learning to fly a helicopter. One is 
available to you in Training Mode, the Wessex. 
^
Helicopters are flown differently from the jets in 
this game, their controls are far easier to use: 
Holding the Directional button up makes the
helicopter go up, down makes it go down, left makes 
it fly to the left and right makes it go to 
the right. 
The Feature bars are used to rotate the aircraft 
from left to right. At the full rotations the 
helicopter can move much faster than when it is 
central.
^
The Wessex and most other helicopters have fixed 
undercarriages. 
Helicopters don't have auto-pilots - they're easy 
enough to land without help!
^
Helicopters are particularly useful when you need 
to rescue someone from a small space, or from a 
site where a jet wouldn't be able to land. If it is a 
designated rescue helicopter you will be provided 
with a winchman to haul up downed pilots, secret 
agents, scientists and whoever else happen to be in 
the thick of it. In combat, they're able to hover over 
an area and plaster it with unguided rockets.

.
Some of the more advanced helicopters such as the 
Apache and Werewolf along with Vertical/Short Take 
Off and Landing (VSTOL) jets such as the Harrier 
can be controlled as both helicopters and as "normal" 
aircraft.  This offers you all the hovering capability 
of a helicopter along with the ability to do high-
speed aircraft manoeuvres.  If you are using one of 
these machines, pressing The Green Button and Down 
simultaneously will toggle between Agile Mode (flying 
as a normal aircraft) and Hover Mode (flying as a 
helicopter).
^
%Label SPECIALS
Special Aircraft...
Gliders: (Including the Hang Glider)
 Basically these are aircraft without engines, and a 
much better set of gliding parameters. They can 
gain lift from thermals (generated by certain 
objects on the ground) or from ridge lift, which is 
generated by air moving up the sides of hills.
 To launch a glider, simply throttle up and a
glider tug will arrive 
to tow you into the air. The tow can be aborted by 
pressing the red (Fire) button.
^
Variable Geometry (Swing Wing) Aircraft
 These aircraft will automatically change their wing 
configuration depending upon airspeed and thrust. 
With the wing in their swept back position, the 
aircraft will take longer to pull up.

Missions
There are all sorts of mission types in Jet Strike. 
(We won't spoil your fun by giving away too many 
clues here). During the course of the game, you will 
be asked to shoot down enemy aircraft, bomb 
targets, attack convoys, take photographs, deliver 
and rescue agents, along with lots of other 
stranger tasks. Sometimes (especially with later 
missions) you will have to complete several tasks to 
complete a mission and move on to the next one.
.
%Image 24
^
A target is displayed as an orange line on your 
radar screen. This is what you will need to attack, 
photograph, deliver an agent to, or the point that 
you will have to rescue someone from.
Enemy aircraft show up on the radar display as 
flashing orange dots.

%Label Aircraft
Aircraft
.
Selecting the most appropriate aircraft for the job 
is vital in Jet Strike, especially as the better 
aircraft are in limited supply. Apart from the 
training aircraft (or those used in Aerolympics) 
most machines are available for a limited number of 
missions. If any aircraft of a particular type are 
wrecked, then the number of missions in which that 
type can be used is further reduced.
^
Because of this, you can't use the best aircraft in 
every mission (even if you were good enough to 
survive that long!) You should try to conserve the 
better machines for when the missions get tougher!
Each aircraft has its own strengths as well as its 
own weaknesses. For instance, the Phantom flies like 
a brick at low levels but it can carry a lot of bombs 
and is an excellent dogfighter. On the other hand, 
the A-10 Warthog is an excellent low level tank 
buster, but its chain gun is fairly poor in air-to-air 
combat.
^ 
Because each pilot will have his or her own personal 
preferences in aircraft, it is suggested that you 
try out as many as you can in the practise missions.
^
Another factor in the "which aircraft?" equation is 
that with light aircraft (microlights, biplanes and 
most non-jets) you earn a points bonus for virtually 
anything you do. For instance, you can multiply your 
point count by five by completing a mission with the 
Focker Triplane!
 The Ministry of Combat accountants aren't too
worried about light aircraft (they are relatively 
inexpensive), so you can wreck as many as you want.
 On the downside, light aircraft have more chance
of being shot down or exploding when hit.

Weapons
There is a wide choice of weapons in Jet Strike. They 
range from the wimpy air mines (which drop out and 
explode behind you thus deterring enemy aircraft 
attacking from behind) to area denial weapons such 
as the JP233 and Hades (which spread highly 
destructive bomblets over a wide area).
^
Also included among the weapons, are:
Camera Pods (these allow you to pinpoint an area 
for a spy satellite to photograph at the end of the 
mission). 
.
Drop Tanks (which allow you to carry extra fuel). 
.
Gun Pods (which add extra guns to your aircraft).
.
Camera Bombs. (Which automatically trigger the 
weapon follow mode when dropped).
^
A camera pod is triggered in the same as any "normal" 
weapon. A drop tank can be released at any time by 
holding down the relevant weapon button.
 You must do this for a little longer than would
be required when dropping bombs to ensure that you
only drop a fuel tank when you really want to.
  Drop tanks will cause some damage when they hit
the ground - the degree of which will depend upon
the amount of fuel remaining.
^ 
Weapons can be divided into two (albeit, rough) 
categories: 
.
.
air-to-air, and, 
.
air-to-ground. 
.
Air-to-air weapons are, mostly, missiles. These have 
a variety of ranges. 
.
Air-to-ground weapons have a much wider spread of 
designs. 
^
Air-to-air weapons
.
Stinger Very short range - mainly used for self 
defence
.
Sidewinder Short range - standard air-to-air missile
.
AMRAAM (Advanced Medium Range Air to Air Missile) 
says it all really !
^
Phoenix Very long range - heavy warhead
.
Sky Flash Standard RAF medium-range missile
.
Sparrow Older NATO medium-range missile
.
Air Mine Simple self-defence weapon
.
^
Air-to-ground bombs and rockets
.
250 lb., 500 lb., 1000lb and 2000lb.
.
 Standard lumps of explosives in an iron casing. 
Unguided. Cheap but effective.
.
500 lb. and 1000lb Drag Bombs. Normal bombs with 
Snakeye retard fins. 
^
500 lb., 1,000 lb. and 2000lb. Paveway.
.
Normal bombs fitted with Paveway Laser Guidance. 
These follow a laser to their target. So long as the 
target is kept locked on, it's history! 
^
Cluster Bombs.. These bombs eject several smaller 
bomblets which scatter over a large area 
destroying light targets. The Drag version's 
bomblets are parachute retarded to cause wider 
damage.
^
Bunker Buster A 3,000 lb. bomb. Well, actually a
2,000 lb. bomb with a 1,000 lb. iron nose cone.
^
JP233's Major league runway-busting bomblet-
dispenser. Fly at a low level over the target, press 
Fire and watch it vanish!
^
Hades A cluster bomb of hellish proportions. When 
dropped on a low level target each bomblet does the 
same damage as a 2,000 lb. bomb!
.
FA Bomb A Small tactical version of the Fuel Air Bomb.
 This bomb explodes just over the target area, 
having a devastating effect on vehicles, without 
damage to hardened surfaces such as runways.
.
Skip Bomb An advanced version of the famous 
bouncing bomb. This one can be dropped from any 
height and at any speed.
^
Hydra Pod 16 unguided rockets. Used in attacking 
unarmoured targets and causing damage over a wide 
area.
.
A.G. Rocket Unguided rocket. For use against smaller 
ground targets by smaller aircraft.

Drop Zone: A Smoke generating marker bomb that 
marks the drop point for a small assault force of 
highly trained commandos. They will move around the 
area, destroying everything they can.
.
Marker: Another smoke generating marker bomb, 
that marks the start point for a B52 bombing run. 
The B52 will drop several tons of 2000lb bombs on 
the area.
^
Tac Nuke: A WE177 Freefall Tactical Nuclear Bomb, 
with a small 1mt warhead. Only for use as a last 
resort. For information, press Red button !

Browning. A small calibre machine gun, as used on 
allied fighters at the start of the second world war. 
Lightweight and handy for light aircraft.
.
Aden 30mm. One of the standard NATO gun pods, the 
Aden is a useful and quite powerful automatic 
cannon.
.
OKB 30mm. Developed by Mikoyan for their Mig-29 
Fighter, this gun is computer controlled for greater 
accuracy in air to air combat.
^
AT Gun. A Very powerful Anti Tank Cannon.
.
Chain Gun. This is a 6 barrel 20mm Vulcan cannon. Fun 
with a capital dagadagadaga boom !
.
Flamer. A Short range flame thrower with its own 
integral fuel supply.
.
Backfire. A backwards firing version of the Flamer.
^
Others...
Commando. Can only be carried by transport aircraft
and some helicopters, but once dropped, a commando
will look around for any enemy installation and
blow it up.
.
Combi. A combination missile, which can be used as
a short range air to air missile or air to ground
missile.

Getting Shot At
This will happen to you a lot! A heavily-armoured 
aircraft (such as an A-10, Frogfoot, Apache or 
Werewolf) can soak up a lot of hits before causing 
concern. However, after only a few hits most 
aircraft will start having critical failures. When this 
happens the green indicator lights in the bottom 
left of your display will turn red.
^
Damage can include simple display failures, weapons 
failures, undercarriage damage (where it locks up 
or down or is even blown to bits - this will force you 
to bail out or attempt to crash land), fuel leaks, 
engine failures and even engine fires. If the engine 
catches fire it will progressively deteriorate, 
finally the aircraft will explode! Unless you are 
incredibly brave (or incredibly stupid) the smoke 
coming from your aircraft should be a prompt to 
abandon aircraft! You'll also hear a "Mayday"
message to warn you that it's time to Eject.

Bonuses

If an enemy aircraft explodes in mid-air, there is a 
chance that it will drop a bonus pod which you can 
try and collect. Each bonus will improve your 
aircraft. Bonuses will also be dropped when you 
reach certain scores.

    Fast Jet Fever
.
Verse 1.
I've been doin' heavy nightwork,
(been) followin' the lines,
hittin' where the lights are,
givin' hard times.
I'm acting as a messenger,
for really bad news,
been makin' all the bad boys,
pay up all their dues.
^
Chorus.
Fast Jet fever's got me spun,
gettin' my rush at over mach one,
Fast Jet fever's got me high,
blasting my name all over the sky.
^
Verse 2.
I'm moving in towards you,
devoid of style and grace,
the fastest way to see you,
it to keep to clear space.
Watching out behind me,
for couriers of hate,
I gotta look quick,
or I'll end up late.
^
Chorus.
.
Verse 3.
I'm working as a postman,
dropping goods first class,
it's bad guys who receive them,
really gives them a blast.
Bugging out for home,
with the bogies in chase,
hoping up to heaven,
that he isn't an ace.

  The Jetstrike Little Book of Aeroplanes
.
 Market research amongst pilots has shown that
most of them actually prefer to know what
aircraft they are flying, either from years of
experience, or from a little name tag on the
dashboard.
^
 Since CAA Directive no. CQ994 states that 
"...all pilots must be able to recognise the
aircraft they are flying, without the aid of name
tags, hints from the control tower or any other
source..." this book of Aeroplanes available for
you to fly in Jetstrike has been written.
^
 The information in this book is accurate, only
for flying the aircraft in Jetstrike CD32 and is
accurate at the time of writing. As SPUDD agents
may have infiltrated the Civil Service, especially
the Ministry of Aeroplane Spotting, errors may
occur. Please take note of them before crashing
into the ground.
^
Each aircraft is listed with some details of its
weapon capacity, landing capability (whether it
can land on grass or water for instance), it's
mode of flight and any little foibles you
should watch out for (like a total inability to
pull up in time for instance).
^
       Trainers
.
The following aircraft are ideal for learner
pilots, and are available for flight in the
TRAINING game.
^
%Image 37
.
.
 The Aeromacchi MB-339 is a popular Italian 
jet trainer which is often used in displays. It can 
easily be used as a light attack aircraft, able to 
carry a small (1000lb a side) bomb load. It is armed 
with machine guns.
^
%Image 36
.
.
 The BAe Goshawk (or T-45) was built in response to 
the US Navy's requirement for an aircraft carrier 
jet trainer. It is a variant of the popular Hawk jet 
trainer used by the RAF.  The Goshawk can carry 
up to 1000lb of bombs on each weapon. It is armed 
with a single Aden Cannon. 
^
%Image 39
.
.
 The Pilatus Porter is a civilian transport aircraft. 
Because of its amazingly short take off and landing 
ability, coupled with a low stall speed, it is an ideal 
machine for picking up secret agents.  With this 
slightly  dangerous mission capability in mind, a few 
weapons have been added and we've given you a 10 
shot rifle for good measure. Being a transport 
aircraft it can carry commandos, but it is very 
vulnerable to enemy fire.  
^
%Image 38
.
.
 The Westland Wessex has been one of the RAF's 
main Air Sea Rescue helicopters for some years. 
The Jet Strike version has a long flight range. It is 
equipped with a winch for picking up downed pilots, 
agents and so on from places where you wouldn't 
want to land. Although unarmed the Wessex can 
carry commandos.  
^
 Combat Aircraft 
.
.
 On the whole, these aircraft are more difficult to 
fly than training machines. Each of these have 
their own individual characteristics. As you will 
discover, these will do most of the hard work in 
Jet Strike. 
^
%Image 58
.
.
 The A-10 Warthog (or Thunderbolt II, as it is 
officially called) is a specialist ground attack 
bomber able to carry large numbers of bombs and 
missiles. It is heavily armoured and carries a multi-
barrelled chain gun which is able to rip through 
tank armour. 
^
%Image 56
.
.
 The A-4 Skyhawk is a light, usually carrier based, 
ground attack bomber and is mostly used by 
smaller air forces. It can carry a light bomb load, 
and is armed with a single cannon.  
^
%Image 50
.
.
 The latest in the amazing Harrier Jump Jet series 
is the BAe Harrier II. As it can fly normally as a jet 
or it can hover like a helicopter it is ideal for both 
ground attack and carrier work. The Harrier II can 
carry a reasonable bomb load, is armed with an 
Aden cannon and can land almost anywhere dry !  
^
%Image 62
.
.
 The Bronco is a strange little observation and 
light attack aircraft. Fairly heavily armoured, it 
can carry enough weapons to either defend itself 
or make itself noticed. The Bronco is useful for 
pickup missions as it is able to land on grass.  
^
%Image 55
.
.
 The Buccaneer was originally used as a naval 
strike aircraft by the RAF and Royal Navy. It is now 
used as a laser designator aircraft for Paveway 
laser-guided bombs. Although a little heavy, the 
Buccaneer can carry a very large bomb load, and 
is arrestor hook equipped for carrier landings. 
^
%Image 51
.
.
 Development of the EFA Eurofighter has been 
heavily delayed due to political negotiations on who 
does what and, more importantly, who pays for it. 
(It's all been a bit like the arguments that go on at 
the end of a restaurant meal, but on a bigger 
scale).
^
 The EFA has been designed to take the place of the
Tornado and Jaguar squadrons of the RAF, Luftwaffe
and the Italian Air Force.
 The Jetstrke version has twin cannon and can carry
a heavy bomb load.  
^
%Image 54
.
.
.
 The F-117 Stealth Fighter (or the "Wobblin Goblin" 
as it is unkindly referred to as) is the first combat 
aircraft to utilise "Stealth" technology to the full. 
Weapons are all carried in internal bays.  This 
aircraft has no guns -  its fly-by-wire computer 
has enough of a job just keeping that shape in the 
air! All forms of exhaust and intake are infra red 
shielded. Unfortunately, this aircraft is a pig to 
fly and is even worse at hitting targets!  
^
%Image 44
.
.
 The F-14 Tomcat is a carrier-based aircraft used 
by the US Navy which can act as either a fighter or 
a bomber.  Its swing wings make it highly agile. 
Armed with a heavy cannon, the Tomcat is handy 
for carrier defence and dogfighting.  
^
%Image 45
.
.
 The F-15 Eagle is a twin jet heavyweight multi-role 
fighter / bomber as well as being an excellent dog-
fighter. It can carry large amounts of bombs and is 
armed with a heavy cannon. 
^
%Image 46
.
.
 The F-16 Falcon can do almost anything: from dog-
fighting and ground attack to nifty air show 
routines.  This lightly armoured aircraft seems to 
be allergic to ground fire, although it is used more 
than the F-15 mostly because it is cheaper to build  
^
%Image 88
.
.
The F-16G is the latest F-16 variant.
With the A-10 rapidly ageing, the US
army requires a new ground attack
aircraft. The F-16G is designed as a
low cost replacement.
^
%Image 47
.
.
 The F-18 Hornet is slightly more agile than the F-16. 
It is used mainly as an aircraft carrier-based 
interceptor.  
^
%Image 48
.
.
 The F-20 Tiger Shark was originally designed as an 
updated single-engine version of the F-5 Freedom 
Fighter. It is used by US Aggressor Squadrons in 
place of enemy jets when training fighter pilots. It 
is agile, lightly armed and flies like a rocket (going 
up is no problem - it's going down that you have to 
worry about!)  
^
%Image 43
.
.
 The F-5 Freedom Fighter is currently used by 
smaller airforces and is often seen in films (where 
it is usually painted black and brandishes a little 
red star - having been told to pretend to be a Mig). 
Just like its big brother, the F-20, the F-5 is 
excellent in a dogfight. 
^
%Image 57
.
.
 The Grumman A-6 Intruder is a carrier-based 
bomber which saw active service during the 
Vietnam war. It is unusual in that it has no guns or 
other defensive weaponry! However, it can carry a 
large amount of bombs. 
^ 
%Image 40
.
.
 The Jaguar Mk2 is used by both the RAF and the 
Italian Air Force for both ground attack and patrol 
work.  It is able to be used in most roles (well, our 
one is anyway). Watch out for its brick-like flying 
when trying to pull up out of a steep dive! 
^
%Image 41
.
.
 The McDonald Douglas F-4 Phantom is an ideal air-
to-air fighter, but it flies like a brick (watch out 
when you need to pull up quickly!) The Jet Strike 
version is the RAF variant, but with an arrestor 
hook fitted for carrier work.  
^
%Image 42
.
.
 The Mig-21 Fishbed is out of date, under-powered 
and generally bad news to fly: so you get lots of 
them! It can only carry a small bomb load, and 
takes forever to stop after landing. 
^
%Image 52
.
.
 The Mig-29 Fulcrum is an excellent fighter aircraft.
It is agile, well armed and in a competent pilot's 
hands it is more than a match for either the F-15 or 
the F-16. The Fulcrum has the added advantage of a 
computer aimed gun, giving it amazing dogfighting 
ability.  
^
%Image 49
.
.
 The Panavia Tornado F3 is not a great dog-fighter 
but it is an excellent weapons platform for modern 
air-to-air missiles and therefore ideal for 
interceptor work.  The Tornado has short runway 
capacity, due to its reverse thrust engine. It can 
carry all manner of weapons for both low and high 
level bombing.
^
%Image 59
.
.
 The Su-25 Frogfoot is the Russian equivalent of 
the A-10. It has heavy-duty armour combined with a 
high-lift wing and BIG guns. 
^
%Image 110,0,60
%Image 162,0,61
.
.
 The SAAB Grippen is (at the time of writing) 
undergoing trials with the Swedish Air Force.   This 
aircraft will replace the SAAB Viggen (the current 
mainstay of the Swedish Air Force). Both the 
Grippen and the Viggen are fully multi-role aircraft,
able to act either as a fighters or as a light 
bombers. 
^
%Image 53
.
.
 The Sukhoi SU-27 Flanker is just as agile as the Mig-
29 and is both heavily armed and armoured. Despite 
some terrible paint jobs, it is very popular at air 
shows. As the Mig-29 the Flanker is armed with a 
computer guided gun. 
^
%Image 77
.
.
 The F-111 is a versatile, heavy swing-wing aircraft
used by the US and Australian Air Forces. It excels
at low level raids and is able to carry heavy bomb
loads.
^
%Image 79
.
.
 The Dasault Mirage is the standard aircraft of the
French air force, as well as rather a lot of third
world countries. It is heavy, not stunningly agile
but is fast and can carry a lot of weapons.
 SPUDD have managed to get hold of a lot of
Mirages and Rafales, so watch out !
^
%Image 78
.
.
 The Rafale was Dasaults attempt at the Eurofighter
contract. Unfortunately it was overweight and didn't
match up to the EFA specifications. The Rafale
however, is being tested by the French Naval Air
Force who have invested in stronger aircraft
carrier decks.
 SPUDD have managed to steal a group of Rafales and
have started cloning them in a hidden factory.
^
%Image 80
.
.
 The Dragonfly was used extensively by the US Army
during the Vietnam war, and was very handy as a
ground support aircraft, firing rockets and
dropping Napalm (which you don't get in Jetstrike
because it's banned, and we are supposed to be the
good guys !)
^
%Image 83
.
.
 The Mig 23 Flogger was built as a high speed
interceptor, similar to the American F-111 in basic
design. It is fast and, like the Mig 25 Foxbat,
able to climb rapidly to altitude.
^
%Image 84
.
.
 The Mig 24 Foxbat is a Mach 3 air superiority
interceptor. It is incredibly fast, and perfect
when you need to shoot down bad guys at high
altitude.
^
%Image 85
.
.
The Hawk 200 is the latest version of the
excellent British Aerospace Trainer and
Attack aircraft. The 200 has improved
range, power and better weapons.
^
%Image 86
.
.
Mostly seen as a gate guardian for RAF
bases nowadays, although a few are still
flying around the world. The Hawker Hunter
was the mainstay of the RAF between 1953
until 1964. It is easy to fly and can carry
a good range of weapons.
^
%Image 87
.
.
Like the Cessna Dragonfly, the BAC
Strikemaster was mostly used for counter
insurgency work. The Strikemaster is
basically an improved Jet Provost and has
been used by several countries.
^
%Image 89
.
.
The F-22 Lightning II is the latest US
air superiority fighter. It utilises
the Stealth technology developed for the
F-117 as well as fly by wire controls and
thrust vectoring for extra agility.
^
%Image 90
.
.
The F-100 Super Sabre was one of the 
American's earlier high altitude, high
speed interceptor developments.
^
%Image 91
.
.
The Shorts Tucano is used by the RAF as
a leader to jet training. Despite being
turboprop driven, it has all the basic
handling characteristics of a jet.
The Tucano can also carry basic weaponry.
^
Helicopters 
.
.
 Helicopters can be more difficult to fly than jets. 
Those in Jet Strike are, however, highly agile and 
more than capable of completing most of the 
missions. 
^
%Image 65
.
.
 The AH-64 Apache is a heavyweight attack 
helicopter which has been designed to give and 
take heavy punishment. It can take on most targets 
without needing so much as a paint job! The 
Jetstrike version is an agile helicopter, so that it 
can change between hover and flight modes. As 
with most (all but the Werewolf) helicopters, the 
Apache doesn't have an ejector seat, so only bail 
out at altitude ! 
^
%Image 67
.
.
 The Hughes 500 Defender is the military variant of 
this popular civilian helicopter. The Jetstrike 
version is agile and able to carry most of the 
lighter rockets and missiles.
^
%Image 64
.
.
The Kamov KA-50 Werewolf is the latest Russian
attack helicopter and is possibly the best of its
kind currently available. It has a twin contra-
rotating main rotor which makes it highly
manoeuvrable and a single anti-tank gun which makes
it extremely deadly.
The Werewolf is the only helicopter to be fitted
with an ejector seat. 
^
%Image 66
.
.
 The Westland Lynx is a highly agile support 
helicopter. It is able to carry troops or act as an 
attack or anti-tank helicopter. 
^
%Image 63
.
.
 The Huey is THE classic troop support helicopter. 
The Jet Strike version of the Huey is fitted with a 
winch for rescue work.  Just to show you how nice 
we are we've fitted a side-mounted machine gun as 
well. Its primary use in Jetstrike is rescue work 
from armed areas, and commando dropping. 
^
The Historic Aircraft
(Department of aircraft that make you go aaah)
.
.
 Not every mission in Jet Strike requires the 
latest high tech, high speed, combat aircraft. 
Besides, you might want to rise to the challenge of 
earning the extra points you get for using a light 
aircraft. 
^
%Image 68
.
.
Along with the Hurricane, the Spitfire and its
pilots played a primary role in the Battle of
Britain. The MK-14 version available in
Jetstrike was one of the fastest Spitfires in
the war, built as an interceptor, armed with
twin cannon and four machine guns.
^
%Image 82
.
.
The Hawker Hurricane was an excellent all round
fighter aircraft. The Jetstrike version is the
Mk II.c which was used as a fighter bomber,
night fighter and as a ground attack aircraft.
^
%Image 92
.
.
The main fighter enemy of the RAF during the
Battle of Britain was the Me-109. The first
prototype Me-109 was actually powered by a
Rolls-Royce engine (soon replaced by a 
German engine). Very agile and well armed
for its day.
^
%Image 93
.
.
The P-51 Mustang was used by the US air force
and RAF during World War Two. Like the Spitfire
and Hurricane, it was used on all fronts of the war.
^
%Image 94
.
.
The Mitsubishi Zero (or Zeke) was the famous
Japanese fighter bomber of the second world
war. It was powerful, well armed and agile
and caused problems for allied pilots in the
Pacific for a while.
^
%Image 95
.
.
The Royal Aircraft Factory SE-5a was
outgunned by some of the German aircraft
it was flown against, but proved itself to
be more agile.
^
%Image 69
.
.
 The Focker DR-1 is the famous triplane as used by 
the Red Baron in the First World War. Compared to 
a modern aircraft it is slow, under-powered and 
practically unarmed....but what the heck! 
^
%Image 70
.
.
 Do you remember that film where a certain secret 
agent flies a tiny jet aircraft out of a horse box 
and then through a hangar (taking out lots of bad 
guys in the process)? Well it's actually a real 
aircraft called the Acro Jet and we've got one! By 
the way, keep your eyes open for barns to fly 
through ! 
^
%Image 72
.
.
 The Super Solution was a high speed air racer
from the thirties. The Jetstrike version has been
modified for stunt flying, and can also carry a
light bomb load.
^
%Image 73
.
.
 The Gee Bee Z Air Racer is the classic air racer. 
It's bit awkward to fly (it has killed several pilots) 
but don't let that deter you!  The techies have 
managed to weld on a couple of hardpoints to help 
you out. 
^
%Image 71
.
.
 The Grumman Goose is a famous twin-engined 
seaplane. It is popular among film makers and 
adventurous types (because it is relatively 
inexpensive and not too rare). The Jet Strike 
Goose is well equipped to take care of itself. We've 
stuck a machine  gun on it along with two 
hardpoints so that you can carry up to 1,000 lb. of 
weapons! The Goose is great for picking up downed 
pilots from the water, and for dropping off 
commandos. 
^
 The Very Strange Section 
 Okay, so this last one is really weird but it just 
goes to show what we can do! 
^
%Image 74
.
.
 The Dragon was reputedly flown by the Flying 
Toaster division of Erik the Not Particularly Nice's 
revered Gutbuster Army during the War of the 
Crinkly Fjord. It has been virtually unused for the 
past two millennia (apart from a spell as a British 
Prime Minister) The Dragon flaps its wings and 
breathes fire.
^
 It can land on water (having learned how to swim) 
and is fitted with an ejector seat. The fire-breath
draws directly from your fuel supply, so equip it
with a drop tank if you intend to go around torching
everything! This mythical Flying Beastie has no armour,
liable to explode when hit, (you would too if you were
mostly methane!)  
Carries up to 200 lb. of weapons in two hands 
(maximum 100 lb. per hand). Runway, grass or water 
(undercarriage up) landing. Equipped with fly-by-
wire. 
^
 The Final Section 

 That's it for all the aircraft available in Jet 
Strike.  We did have another one but someone stole 
it!   
^
 You might be wondering why so many aircraft have 
fly-by-wire controls (which are there to make 
landing easier) when normally you would have been 
lucky to find them fitted with any controls at all.  
The reason is that those nice techno boffins back 
at Base, retro fitted out most of the aircraft for 
you and wanted to give you a fighting chance. 
Remember to buy them a pint when (or should that 
be - if) you make it back !

There are several bad guys to watch out for in
Jetstrike. Unfortunately information is not available
for all of them, but here are a few...
^
%Image 96

.
Hind Attack helicopters.
These fly at low level, attacking your convoys and
protecting enemy bases. Attack from above where
they are vulnerable, but watch out for air to air
missiles and chain gun fire.
^
%Image 78
.
.
Rafale Fighters
 Copied from a prototype Rafale acquired by SPUDD,
the Rafale is used as a patrol and interceptor
fighter by SPUDD. Most SPUDD pilots are badly
trained and are relatively easy to shoot down,
but SPUDD are training up elite squadrons, so 
beware.
^

Mirage Fighter Bombers
 Bought from Third world countries and modified
to SPUDD designs, the Mirage is used as a raider
aircraft, primarily for knocking out friendly
convoys and runways.

Anti Aircraft Artillery (Flak)
These guns fire low altitude fragmentation
shells which burst around your aircraft, causing
damage if they hit. They are normally built
with an auxilary machine gun unit, which
is used both for tracking and shooting down.

  1) Introduction 
.
 Hello new Nuclear Bomb User ! Congratulations on 
acquiring your WE177 Freefall Tactical Nuclear 
Bomb. We at Wally's Weapon Supplies Inc. (Suppliers 
of Tactical Nuclear weapons to the East 
Beckinsdale Pigeon Fanciers Association since 1963),
hope that you will have many happy hours looking 
at your nuclear device and using it as a bargaining 
chip in negotiations with non nuclear countries. We 
really hope you don't have to test its 100 percent
reliability guarantee (if it doesn't go off, bring
it back and we'll replace it free of charge !).
^
 If you do have to use your Bomb however, here 
are a few safety tips... 
.
 1) This bomb makes a really, really big bang, so 
keep all dogs and cats indoors (preferably in an 
underground concrete bunker with 20ft thick lead 
lined walls) and make sure you are a good distance 
away from the device when it explodes. We are not 
talking "Light the blue touch paper and walk away" 
here. When I say a good distance, I mean several 
miles away, or preferably a completely different 
country. 
.

 2) For maximum effect, your WE177 has been set to 
explode upon impact. It is best to drop it from a 
really great height for obvious reasons. 
^
 3) Apart from the massive doses of radiation that 
this weapon will put into the atmosphere, the 
electromagnetic pulse from the blast will knock 
out any electronic equipment within a very wide 
area. So to avoid problems, always unplug any 
electrical units (toasters, radar, communication 
systems etc) and put them in a very deep lead lined 
bunker (with the dog and cat). This may also affect 
the systems on your aircraft (unless it has a fibre 
optic back up), so be prepared for systems 
failures. 
^
 4) Really solid objects such as mountains will stop 
the main explosive blast of your bomb. This can be 
either useful or a pain, depending upon which side 
of the mountain the target, and your bomb are. 
^
 5) Anything within the blast area of the device will 
tend to be destroyed. Therefore, clear the area 
you want to destroy of civilians, or get very good 
third party insurance.

  3) Using your WE177 Freefall Tactical Nuclear Bomb 
.
 The WE177 Freefall Tactical Nuclear Bomb is very 
user friendly. Once installed on your aircraft, you 
simply drop it by pressing the appropriate bomb 
release button. It will then fall, in an ergonomically 
designed eye catching way until it hits something 
solid, where it will detonate, utterly destroying 
everything within a radius of a couple of miles.  
Please read the safety code in Section (1) 
Introduction before using your WE177 Freefall 
Tactical Nuclear Bomb.
