Press Release
AUTO CO-PILOT
Feature Introduced!
First time
in Combat Flight Simulations!
HISTORY CHANNELS
BATTLE OF BRITAIN 1940 BRINGS NEW TECHNOLOGY TO FLIGHT SIMULATION!
History
Channels Battle of Britain 1940, published by Activision Value,
Inc. and developed by iEntertainment Network Inc., brings brand new functionality
and features to the flight simulation game market with the new AUTO CO-PILOT
feature that gives players auto takeoffs, auto landings, auto formation,
and auto attack. AUTO CO-PILOT makes a real authentic flight simulation
accessible to all gamers without ANY flight simulation experience!
This new
feature allows the player to click the Fly Me button and the computer
AI will take over to get the player back into the battle, get the player
back into formation, or attack the nearest enemy target. When the player
accomplishes his mission objectives, he can click on Auto Land and the
AI takes him to a safe landing at the nearest friendly airfield!
The realism
of flight simulation games can be daunting for a new player. Flight Simulation
games sometimes are difficult for new players to understand the mission,
to find targets, or to maneuver the aircraft without extensive study of
the game manuals. This difficulty is not present in the new History Channels
Battle of Britain product, as the player can just pick his mission from
a list of Instant Action or Campaign missions, click start, and the computer
starts the player on the way. The player can play without any help from
the computer AI or with complete help with the AI. (Anytime the player
wants to take control of the game, he just does!)
The History
Channels Battle of Britain has great features including:
Historically
accurate terrain and over 70 accurate aircraft models.
Cadet,
Pilot, and Ace difficulty settings.
Brand
new Cadet easy flight aircraft view and realistic out the cockpit views.
15
Instant Action Missions
18
Training Missions
12
Historically accurate Campaign Missions
Free
Massively Multiplayer Online Dogfighting in the Battle of Britain Arena.
All of these
elements bring the excitement, challenge, and ferocity of the massive
air battles that took place over the English Channel during the summer
and fall of 1940 between the Royal Air Force and the Luftwaffe.
The new
game should be on retailers shelves during the month of October
2003.
The new
product will also have a FREE Battle of Britain Dogfighting Arena for
all purchasers of The History Channels Battle of Britain where new
players can practice their air-to-air dogfighting skills against players
from all over the world. This dogfighting arena will be part of IENTs
TotalSims series of online games. (More information on IENTs online
games can be found at www.TotalSims.com.
