  Playing The Simulation.

  The simulation MUST be run using one of the two batch files included.
  Use WW1S3.BAT if your video card uses the S3 chipset
  Use WW1VESA.BAT if you have any other video card.

  The simulation is straight forward, with an open ended mission, where the 
  player can attack the enemy in varying ways. You can attack the enemy head
  on, or try to use the advantage of having wingmen.

  From your takeoff point, enemy positions are North, North East, and 
  North West. German Zeppelins are headed for your base, and these must be 
  stopped, to prevent them from bombing the base.

  To allow good dogfights, the flight model is a 'little' over powered, but 
  not much. The aircraft you fly will stall at low speeds, and will also 
  flat spin.

  NB: If you have any problems running the simualtion, please read the file
  TECHINFO.TXT before contacting us for advice. The answers to all known 
  hardware problems is in that file. Please not that we cannot answer tech
  enquiries on Windows 95. The simulation is 32 bit DOS protected mode, and
  was designed to run under DOS. If you use Win95 we would suggest running the
  simulation from a DOS 6.2x boot disk.

  Have Fun!
