I recently got a game for my Commodore 64 from a friend but I
received no documentation on how to play the game.  I am looking
for information on specific commands to control the airplane.

I think the name of the game is Jet Combat Simulator, although it
is also very possible that I could be wrong.  When the game is
booted, a menu is placed on the screen from which seven or eight
different choices can be made.  Among the choices are air-to-air
combat, landing practice, taking-off practice and cross-wind
turbulence practice.

I have determined that the s and w keys control the flaps and the c
key puts a crosshair on the screen (for shooting, I asssume).

If anyone recognizes this game, please send me e-mail and tell me
the necessary commands.  Thanks.

flame on:
Unless said game is in the public domain, I suggest you go to your nearest
software dealer and buy a LEGITIMATE copy!

Note that it is perfectly legal to resell software.
If the first owner lost the manual, then the purchaser
would have difficulty, no?

ANYWAY, I'm interested in hearing what this software
WILL DO. That way, I could potentially buy it
(except I dislike "Commode" Computers ;^{>)......,bc

The above mentioned simulator is probably JET by Sublogic Corp. in Champaign,
IL.  This is the same company that authored Flight Simulator II.  JET can be
purchased at any computer store and it is availbale for Commodore, Atari, Apple,
Amiga, anf IBM-PC (and clones).
