• These are BASIC starting configurations. Upgrade to the more powerful weapons when they become available.
• When exchanging weapons for defaults, keep in mind that weapons that can be LINKED are linked. Weapon position is important, because weapons that can be linked are.
• All missiles active radar for your herc, not your wingmen.
• The following hercs match the macros in the T-master control files.

Roadrunner, Outlaw, Raptor, and Tomahawk are easy enough to set chains manually

Notes:

• These are BASIC starting configurations. Upgrade to the more powerful weapons and pods when they become available. I.E.: 50mm cannon and 500 gig laser
• When exchanging weapons for defaults, keep in mind that weapons that can be LINKED are linked. Weapon position is important, because weapons that can be linked are.
• All missiles active radar for your herc, not your wingmen.
• The following hercs match the macros in the T-master control files.

Outlaw, Maverick, Tomahawk, and Raptor II are easy enough to set chains manually

If you use the Thrustmaster FLCS & WCS MKII then this file is for you. Included areB50/M50 files for EARTHSIEGE, EARTHSIEGE II, EARTHSIEGE III ALPHA,MWII, HEAVY GEAR, X-WING, TIE FIGHTER, XvT, and BATTLEDROME.Note:The Thrustmaster FLCS file uses macros to automate fire chain setup. This is why weapon type and position are important. The macros can set all three chains with ten weapons in a matter of seconds. Much faster than what can manually be done. Proper weapons management can mean the difference between success or failure on a mission. ES3 Alpha B50/M50 is NOT complete. Included in the zip is a ThrustMaster.cs file. Place this in the ES3\Alpha\keymap\ directory and select when entering a mission.The file follows the standard key layout in the doc file and is fully noted. 

New throttle statement for ES2: 

@DigitalThrottle THR 1 16 0 KP8 KP2 KP8 KP2 KP8 KP2 It works better, but not perfectly. Move WCS slowly if you have problems.

I made "shortcuts" for both Debug and Demo record modes.WARNING: The Debug mode can make ES2 unstable. Use at your own risk.Also, Do not use INSTANT ACTION with the codes. You will crash and burn.

• [ALT] + [<] or [>] (listen to cockpit announcements) 
• [ALT] + [UARROW] or [DARROW] (Warp speed Mr. Sulu!!) 
• [ALT] + [LARROW] or [RARROW] (Left or Right turn Warp) 
• [ALT] + [S] (Freezes AI: Press again to resume) 
• [ALT] + [the numpad "+" key] (Steps the game a frame at a time after freezing the AI) 
• [ALT] + [CTRL] + [N] (Unleash the power of the atom!) 
• [ALT] + [CTRL] + [S] (HERC textures appear) 

Make a demo movie for ES2: C:\SIERRA\ES2\ES2.EXE -RC:\DEMO.TAP

Note: Use whatever YOUR drive letter is in the path.

Do NOT use the mouse when making the demo. It will not play back correctly if you do. Also, using debug mode will make strange things happen. Backup the existing Demo1.tap, Demo2.tap, Demo3.tap files in the c:\sierra\es2\tapes directory. After completing a training or regular mission, copy the new *.tap file to the c:\sierra\es2\tapes directory as Demo1.tap, Demo2.tap, and Demo3.tap. There are only three slots available for demos and the playback is random from one of the three. When you are all done select "View Demo" from the main menu.

1. Demo1.tap 
• Elite mode 
• Luna Sector Mission #10 
• 4 Ogres 
• Lots of action, the "big one" (15 minutes) 
2. Demo2.tap 
• Elite mode 
• Bravo Sector Mission #3 
• 1 Razor and 2 Ogres 
• Very cool dogfights using missile view camera 
3. Demo3.tap 
• Elite mode 
• Bravo Sector Mission #1 
• 2 Ogres 
• Watch me get torn up, but survive 
4. My_Demo4.tap 
• Elite mode 
• Luna Sector Mission #3 
• 1 Razor 
• Watch me use a Razor to upload a virus to a listening post! 

• SAVE, or die! Save a copy of the previous mission and the current one. You have 10 slots after all. 
• Build big, build FAST. Start building a Tomahawk in Mission #1. Outfit the whole team, then start with Apocalypses, Ogres, et.. 
• Learn the art of fire chains (see my B50/M50 files) 
• Use auto repair mode. (But still check the repair bays for damage) 
• Use manual weapons build mode. 
• SCRAP weapons that you do not use! 
• Use the RAZOR!!! Get to know it. It is your friend. 
• When engaging, attack lower legs first. 
• Learn to re-balance shields for attacks. 
• Use STEALTH. If you see them, they see you! Passive radar until you engage. 
• Learn to command. Wingmen are deadly when outfitted and directed correctly. 
• Use a Razor for Uploading/Downloading Data to listening posts whenever possible. See it done in my Demos section. Slow to zero throttle and stall the Razor over the post by pulling the stick straight back until you get the "load complete" signal.
