Setting up a Network Game:

Once you have found an opponent in the Sim-Net chat rooms AND connected to the Sim-Net IPRemote Server, start your CYAC game. Be sure to decide on WHICH player is GOING to be HOSTING and which player is going to JOIN!

When the game has started, use the FLY menu and select HEAD-TO-HEAD . A dialog box will appear, select NETWORK JOIN or HOST as decided on prior to the game.

If you are HOSTING, a dialog box will appear and advise you to stand by for your opponent to join the game.

Once the other pilot JOINS the match, set the fields to whatever planes you deciced on AND an altitude of 10,000 ft (if you are flying a tournament). Select the FLY and begin your flight. Your plane will start out at already in flight, with your opponent nearly in front of you. You will need to locate your enemy as quickly as possible and destroy him/her.

You may find it difficult to VIEW THE ENEMY AIRCRAFT. Find him fast and fly by the rules of engagement listed above.

First one to the most in 5 kills...loses!!! Good luck!
