Mission Statement
ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ
I was looking through a bunch of my older games and was wondering to myself
why I didn't write any FAQs for these classics. So I decided to write a guide
for some of my favorites. That is why this guide is here today. I hope it can
help you out.

____________________
Game 1: Hedge Hopper This is the easiest mode of play that there is. The
ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ goal for this level is to fly through 10 barns in the
absolute minimum amount of time. There is a set
pattern of how windmills and barns are set-up, so
every time you play through you can expect the same
thing.
___________________
Game 2: Crop Duster Crop duster has the same setup as Hedge Hopper. You
ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ have to go through 15 barns instead of the 10 in Hedge
Hopper. The pattern of barns and windmills have also
changed.
___________________
Game 3: Stunt Plane Once again, this mode of play is just like the
ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ previous two, however, you will notice that there are
more geese this round, and that the pattern has - once
again changed. To view the three patterns, check out
the "Strategy" section of the FAQ
__________________
Game 4: Flying Ace Flying Ace for the most part is a harder versions of
ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ the other three levels. One major difference is now you
must fly through 25 barns as opposed to 15 or 10. It
should also be noted that there is no longer a set
pattern for the barns so you will have to go on strategy
and skill alone to complete this course.
============================================================================
| I V FLIGHT CONTROLS |
============================================================================
Unlike many of the flight simulators of today, the controls for flight in
Barnstorming are quite basic and easy to learn.

|ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ|ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ| faster your plane will fly. If you let |
|ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ|ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ| go of the button you will slow down. |

| V STRATEGY |
============================================================================
______________
Basic Strategy If you are unsure of the level at first or are working on
ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ speed there are a few things that will surely slow you down.
You must fist watch out for the geese. Hitting one of these
things will add a few seconds to your time. If you get
caught in a flock, you might as well reset the game.
You should also try to stay as low as possible at all times.
If you are flying over a windmill, then you will want the
bottom edge of your plane to barely clear the top, this way
you will decrease any excessive movement.
The third thing to look at for is the barns themselves. If
you are not paying attention you will not make the clearance
and will bounce right off of the top of the barn. So make
sure you get all the way down!
