SMUGGLE

Alert! A bunch of smugglers have hijacked a PT boat, and are headed at
high speed from St. Andrew's Castle, their headquarters, out to open sea.
Your mission: to intercept and destroy -- they've been warned. You can do it
any way you like with your A-10 Thunderbolt -- missile, bomb, gun. Take off
from the carrier near the bridge, and fire away: you're headed pretty much
right for them. You'll be catapulted straight into the sky: immediately
after you're airborne, pull the gear up and full throttle. No time to
waste. And arm your weapon.

But: the smugglers have intercepted your radio transmissions, and are
taking evasive action. They'll twist and turn in a desperate attempt to
escape you. And they'll try to bring you down, too: they have some pretty
powerful weapons on St. Andrew's. You can watch them track *you* with 
CTRL-F4, and you in turn can track *them* with CTRL-F3. Or watch one of
their near-miss missile shots with CTRL-F5.

And because of recent cut-backs, you're limited to twenty shots. So don't
hold down that trigger, especially with your gun. More than twenty:
Nyah-nyah and off to the hospital (if you have hospital "on" with Alt-P).

If they make it out, it's too bad for you. Kaboom, and you'll end up in 
the hospital again.

It can be done, and to prove it, I've enclosed SMUGGLE.FLM (and for those
who don't have SI, SMUGGLE.ALL as well). If you don't have SI, see the
material in STUNTI.ZIP, FSFORUM library 5/Other Flight Sims, on how to
do it. I must admit this isn't a particularly good job -- I wasted a lot
of government bombs. You can do better.

If you haven't done this before:
1. Be sure SMUGGLE.SET is in your /SETS subdirectory.
2. After entering Stunt Island, choose SET DESIGN and load SMUGGLE.SET.
3. FLY STUNT, Action, TAKE . . . . Get ready: you'll be flying.
4. If you like what you saw, save out the take (SMUGGLE#.TKE etc.) with
PRINT FILM or THAT'S A WRAP.
5. Just view the SMUGGLE#.TKE file in the theatre, or, if you're especially
pleased with your flying prowess, EDIT it into a film.

[Apology to the purists: I have no idea whether or not the A-10 flies
from carriers. Maybe this is a special case because of those cut-backs.]
