About this game
Wings of Thunder links a series of ground-attack objectives through cockpit homing frequencies. Frequency 100 leads to the first target, 200 to the second, and so on through the mission list. Slash advances the frequency; Shift+Slash steps back. Ctrl+M opens the overhead map.
The quick-start instructions use 0 for full throttle and G to raise the landing gear after takeoff. Space fires. Backspace and Enter both select weapons, as clarified by the bundled tips. Some unarmed targets cannot be locked by air-to-ground missiles, so guns or rockets are needed instead.
Captured airfields provide repairs and ammunition only after you land, stop fully and shut down the engine. W controls wheel brakes, B air brakes and E the engine. Use Alt+P to pause while consulting the controls.
