Some Hints...
Fly low to avoid detection by enemy (watch your altitude to avoid
ground turbulence below 100'). Try to stay away from your enemy
even if you have to fly out of your way. fuel consumption is not
as important as not arriving at all. As you fly, periodically
press Enter to show any targets in front of you that don't appear
on your Radar Warning Receiver (RWR), like ground troops with
missile launchers.
When flying into a hot LZ (Landing Zone), take out the enemy
radar vehicles first. If your mission is to pick up men, hover
directly above the man (you might find it helpful to select an
exterior view by pressing F4) and reduce altitude to less than ten
feet. The man will climb on board. If your mission is to drop off
supplies, hover close to the ground and press X when you are over
the target waypoint. If you drop it out of the target area, land
next to it and press Z to pick it up again. Hover over the correct
location more carefully this time, nose into the wind and drop it
again.
If you are unable to complete your mission and want to abort
press Ctrl-Q. If you are picked up, you are taken straight to the
debriefing. Aborting your mission over enemy territory is
dangerous. If you're not rescued you'll end up dead or MIA.
