About E.D.I:

E.D.I is the most advanced Air to Air, Air to Ground, and SEAD fighter in history. With a cruising speed of mach 2 and the ability to pull over 300 G turns while remaining above 1750 km/h, this aircraft can simply never be beaten from anything in the air or on the ground. The HUD displays provide the pilot with all information they need to navigate the skies, control this monster of a fighter, and win every battle.

Flight:

• USE VTOL/LEFT SIDE FLAPS TO TAKE OFF
• Using flaps for flight is much easier to control
  FOLLOW IN GAME INSTRUCTIONS

Craft Instructions:

TAKEOFF:

1. Set flaps to 20% down (use HUD in cockpit view to see flap %)
2. Set throttle to around 30% (can be higher if you'd like but 30% throttle will get you off the ground very quickly)
3. Once contact with ground is lost, retract landing gear
4. Set flaps to 0% (flat)

FLIGHT:
- Very powerful engine, 50% throttle will cruise at around 1820km/h
- Very agile fighter, be careful when pitching up and down.
- Using flaps to pitch is smoother and easier to control
- Cruise velocity at 100% throttle is about 2530km/h (Mach 2)
- Cruise velocity at 80% throttle is about 2200km/h
- Average velocity in combat or while turning is about 1800-2100km/h
- Using cockpit view will give you a wide range of HUD information for combat and flight control

COMBAT:

• Use 'R' to cycle between combat modes
• 14x AIM-9X Sidewinder (Modded with long range and Multi Role, will never miss)
• 6x AGM-65 Maverick (Air to Ground)
• Dual mounted Explosive Cannons
• Infinite Flares
• Infinite Chaffs
• Centre HUD will show you selected weapon and amount left
• Right HUD will show you your target's distance, speed, and include a map of them relative to you
• Bottom left HUD will show all weapon information including countermeasures and cannon rounds

If enemy is locked on to you, set throttle to 100% and do 2 quick flare fires then pull up 90 degrees. If enemy remains locked on, fire another 2 quick flares.

LANDING:

1. Set throttle to 5%
2. Extend landing gear at around 600km/h
3. Once runway is lined up, set throttle to 0%
4. Use flaps to control decent for smoothest landing
