5256.0. "Flight of the Intruder" by VERGA::MACDONALD (Home of Digital Realtime Pubs) Sun Dec 08 1991 20:04

    I installed Flight of the Intruder today. At first it wouldn't run on
    my A2620 (WB 2.04). Then I discovered that the WB 2.04 CPU FASTROM
    command was causing the problem. When I returned to using SETCPU V1.6,
    FOTI ran fine. However, there does appear to be a bug. When I press F5
    during a mission, the graphics and color pallette go whacko. Anyone
    else observe this behavior?

5256.1How about a review?FRUST::HAMILTONMon Dec 09 1991 05:019
Sorry I can't help you with your technical problem, but
as a flight simulator fan I would be interested in your
comments regarding "Flight of the Intruder".


Regards,

Scott

    Well, I figured out the F5 problem. Apparently F5 was defined by Ihelp
    in the commodities directory. By deleting F5, I resolved the problem.
    Other key definitions do not appear to interact with FOTI.
    
    Comments? Well, its a good little program. In EASY mode you can fly all
    over North Vietnam shooting down MIGs. It's a pretty good simulation
    compared to the other simulators on the market. The manual provides 
    good interpretive information on control and gauges that you
    should read before flying.

    I've had it for about a month and tried to use the first simulation in
    the book (blow up the patrol boat).  My hand is not steady enough to
    lock in on the boat and fire the missle.  It's a nice flight
    simulation, though.  I have shot down a MiG or two.
    
    Having been on the U.S.S. America during the war, it brought back many
    memories.  (No, we were in the Mediterranean sea, but we still used
    both the types of aircraft that are in this game.)

    Well, I though I had the F5 problem licked, but apparently not.
    Is FOTI simply incompatible with V2.04?

    FOTI does occasionally reach a point where it just quits working, but
    if I don't try to fly at zero altitude, it does OK.  I'm running 2.04.
