The stick asks for G-force. Like a real F-16, the flight computer won't let you go past 9 G or 25° angle of attack.
Energy is everything. Pulling hard bleeds speed. Too slow and the controls go soft and the nose drops (STALL).
Too many G and your vision goes dark; too much negative G and it goes red.
Gun: put the pipper (the dot in the circle) on the enemy. The arc around it shows range; fire when it's inside 1 km.
AIM-9 (heat-seeker): point near the enemy's tail. A low growl means searching; a high tone means locked. Fire. Short range, can be fooled by flares.
AIM-120 (radar): press Tab to lock a target first, then fire from far away. Can be fooled by chaff.
Fast beeping = a missile is coming at you. Turn hard, drop flares (F) and chaff (C).
The HUD: the circle with wings is where you're actually going; the left tape is speed (knots), the right is altitude (feet).
