SUMMARY
This article describes documenation errors in the Pilot's Manual for Microsoft Combat Flight Simulator 2: WWII Pacific Theater.



MORE INFORMATION
 The &quot;Training Missions&quot; section on page 134 of the Pilot's Manual for Microsoft Combat Flight Simulator 2 incorrectly states that you receive a combat flight certificate when you graduate from the complete in-flight training course.

You do not receive a certificate when you graduate from the complete in-flight training course. Page 134 of the Combat Flight Simulator 2 Pilot's Manual contains incorrect steps about how to select individual training missions.

To select individual training missions:  On the main screen, click Training Missions. Click either American or Japanese, and then click Next. Select the mission that you want, and then click Next. Click the aircraft that you want to use, and then click Fly Now.</ol> </li> Page 21 of the Pilot's Manual for Combat Flight Simulator 2 states that you can enter your name on the Top Ten screen.

This feature does not exist in the game.</li> Page 49 of the Pilot's Manual for Combat Flight Simulator 2 states that you can find a &quot;best glide speed&quot; chart in the &quot;planes&quot; section of the &quot;Machines of War&quot; chapter. This is incorrect. The best glide speeds are listed on page 89 in Chapter 5, &quot;Emergency Procedures.&quot;</li> Page 227 of the Pilot's Manual for Combat Flight Simulator 2 states that you can press CTRL+T or the R key to toggle the Select time compression feature, which indicates that you can press these keys to cycle through the different rates of time compression. This is incorrect. These keys can only be used to increase the Time Compression rate. If you want to decrease the simulation rate after increasing it you will need to press ALT and change the Simulation Rate in the Options menu.</li> The Microsoft Combat Flight Simulator 2 manual incorrectly refers to best climb speeds and best glide speeds. Page 49 of the manual describes several flight maneuvers and states:

&quot;To find your aircraft's best-climb speed, see the chart in the 'Planes' section of the Machines of War chapter.&quot;

This information is not available in this chapter nor is it available in the Combat Flight Simulator 2 Help, which refers you to the same chapter. The information for best glide speeds is also unavailable.</li> The Key Commands Quick Reference on the back cover of the Microsoft Combat Flight Simulator 2 Pilot's manual incorrectly lists CTRL+Q as the keyboard command to exit the game immediately. The correct keyboard command to exit the game immediately is CTRL+BREAK.</li> The Microsoft Combat Flight Simulator 2 Pilot's Manual incorrectly states that you can drop torpedoes. Only computer-controlled aircraft and boats can drop torpedoes in Combat Flight Simulator 2. The following aircraft and boats can drop torpedoes in Combat Flight Simulator 2: <ul> Douglas TBD-1 Devastator</li> Grumman TBF Avenger</li> Nakajima B5N2 (Kate)</li> Tidori Class Torpedo Boat</li></ul> </li></ul>
