Things move differently in space and this difference shouldnt be camouflaged or erased. This is a space game for people who can understand and use inertia and do not expect a spaceship to behave like a boat or an airplane.Braking and strafing are luxuries for fighter pilots: nice but far from vital. Capital ships have maneuver thrusters that can push them along all axes; for fighters its easiest to just turn and use the main thrusters for all their maneuvers. Guns only fire straight forward but since youre flying in hard vacuum you can turn the ship to fire in any direction at any time.It all works with simple controls. You turn with the mouse left-click to fire guns right-click to accelerate forward. By default you roll using the scroll wheel. Reloading and target selection are keyboard keys by default but you can bind them to other mouse buttons or anything you want. The game has full joystick and gamepad support and you can configure controls to whatever you feel works best.In this game youre a cadet trying to pass the Academys flight trials and become a certified combat pilot. Each mission teaches and tests your ability in a certain kind of combat scenario. The bronze medal signifies basic ability and is not too hard to earn as long as you can perform the required task.

Finally the Ace medal is the mark of the expert and requires skill patience cunning and considerable luck.The missions:Basic FlightThe games tutorial lets you familiarize yourself with the controls and shoot down some unarmed targets.Obstacle CourseRace through an obstacle course.
