YOUR INTRODUCTION TO THE FORCE
Welcome to the G-Police.
As a new recruit, you are joining an organization which, although only a few years old, already
has an enviable reputation; we hope that you prove to be a worthy addition to our ranks.
In order to reach this point, you have undergone the most stringent and demanding training
program ever developed. However from now on, the orders you take and the missions you carry out
will be for real. You will no longer be using dummy weapons on makeshift st@. Things are no
longer make believe. Only you and your colleagues stand between our public and the aggressive
corporations we have been charged to control - it is up to you now to enter the real world and
put your training into practice.
Wish you luck and hope that you are able to carry out all your orders with skill and
dedication. Remember that the G-Police will always be watching; it is up to you to ensure that
we like what we see.

TRAINGIN MISSIONS
The training missions are accessed via the Main Menu; they have been designed to help you

is a complex flying machine you are strongly advised to make use of all the training missions
before going out on active service. You should also read the appropriate sections of this
handbook.
Training missions are briefed in the same way as active missions.
ACTIVE MISSIONS
Your active missions will consist of duties and objectives given to you by your C-Police
commander. It is imperative that you obey orders and listen carefully to the radio
communications you receive during each mission, not only will they give you instructions on
which you must act, they may also give warnings of imminent attack.
If you fail a mission, you will be given the chance to 'RETRY?' or 'QUIT'. Use the Directional

FLYING YOUR CRAFT
As a recent recruit to the ranks of the G-Police, you will initially be put in charge of a
DASA - Kamov HAVOC close air support Gun Ship. Success of your missions will depend heavily an
your flying skills, you should spend some time familiarizing yourself with the way your craft
handles as the lives of civilians and other G-Police members will be at stake once you're on
active service. You may undergo further training at any time by selecting 'Training' from the
main menu.
Forward Thrust
Tap the Triangle button to increase your craft's forward thrust. There is no need to keep this
button held down once your desired speed has been achieved - your craft will maintain this speed
until reverse thrust is applied.
Double tap and hold the triangle button to engage the forward after burn functions this enables
you to reach full forward thrust quickly.
Reverse Thrust
Tap the Square button to increase your craft's reverse thrust. This will usually be used as a
brake to slow down your craft's forward movement However, if you keep the Square button pressed
down once the craft is hovering, it will begin to fly backwards. This button must be held down
to continue reversing.
Double tap and hold square button to engage the reverse after-burn function; this enables you
reach full reverse thrust quickly.
Steering Your Craft
Use the Left and Right Directional buttons to steer your craft left or right respectively. Use
the Up and Down Directional buttons to point the nose of your craft down or up respectively.
Altering Your Altitude
Use the L1 and L2 buttons to increase or decrease your altitude respectively. This allows your
craft to change its altitude without having to pitch up or down. This is a useful technique for
approaching targets, allowing you to 'hop' over bridges and 'duck' under girders while looking
straight ahead.
If you hold down both the L1 and L2 buttons, your altitude will be locked. This is useful for
tracking ground targets without flying into the ground.
USING YOUR ONBOARD COMPASS / RADAR
All G-Police craft are fitted with a sophisticated navigational device enabling you to fly
quickly in the direction of a target.
This radar appears in the top center of your cockpit HUD; it takes the form of a green 3D
circle. The red arrow on the circle's edge indicates your waypoint - when the arrow is pointing
straight up, you are flying towards the waypoint. The waypoint may be a location you are
required to go to or even an enemy vehicle.
The radar also indicates your height above the ground; as you fly higher, the radar separates
into 2 circles. The top circle is the plane on which you are flying while the bottom circle
represents ground level.
Enemy vehicles are represented by colored dots within the compass:
When you access the map, the dome where you are currently located will be highlighted on the
left of the map screen. Use the Directional buttons to move the indicator lines from dome to
dome.
Press the X button to Zoom the view of the currently indicated dome. The L1 and L2 buttons can
then be used to zoom in or out of the dome map. The map can be scrolled using the Directional
buttons.
Press the Square button while on the map screen to view your mission objectives. Primary
objectives must be completed in order for you to progress to the next mission. Outstanding
G-Police recruits will also attempt to complete secondary objectives - however these do not
need to be completed to progress to the next mission. Press the Square button again to return
to the map screen.
Press the START button to return to your mission.
REARMING YOUR GUNSHIP
Your gunship can be rearmed during a mission by flying onto a rearm point. These are marked on
the map screen - see the section headed 'Using The Map' for more information.
Once you have flown onto the rearm point, you will receive a pre-determined quantity of weapons
and your shield will recharge by 50%.Your gunship can only rearm once at each rearming point.
SHIELD STRENGTH
Your gunship is equipped with shields which will be depleted as your craft comes under fire.
The shield energy indicator is in the top right of the cockpit HUD- once this reaches zero your
craft will be destroyed. However, your shield will recharge slowly with time.
SCANNING VEHICLES AND OBJECTS
Most craft are automatically identified by the onboard computer. However, you will sometimes be
required to scan vehicles and objects in order to ascertain whether they are innocent or
dangerous. All un-scanned craft will appear as civilians on the radar.
Point your craft towards the vehicle or object to be scanned. Press the R1 button to commence
the scan. When scanning is complete, a text message in the top left corner of the cockpit HUD
will indicate the origin of the vehicle or object along with its shield strength.
This method is also used to obtain a target lock when using targeted weapons.
USING YOUR WEAPONS
Selecting Weapons
Your currently selected weapon is highlighted on the right side of your cockpit HUD. In order to
cycle through other available weapons, hold down the Circle button and press the Up or Down
Directional buttons. The number to the left of the weapon name indicates how many rounds you
have remaining. When there are no abounds of a particular weapon left, your selected weapon will
revert to the standard 25mm or 30mm cannon, depending on the craft that you have been issued
for the current mission. Some weapons may not have an ammo count, but have a charge bar instead.
Firing Weapons
Press the X button to fire your currently selected weapon.
Locking weapons
Most weapons can lock on to a target. To do this, select your required weapon, then press the R1
button when your target is framed by a white box. When the white box turns red, the target is
locked and the weapon can be fired. Of course, this does not guarantee a direct hit as the
target may be too fast or mobile for your chosen weapon.
If there are multiple targets within view of your cockpit HUD, you can cycle through them by
repeatedly pressing the R1 button.
If you are using a weapon that requires a lock, the cross hair in the center of the screen will
be green if you have a lock and red if you have no lock.
WINGMEN
Wingmen are controlled much like a lock inq weapon, When a wingman is flying with you, ‘WINGMAN’
will appear on your list of available weapons. It is selected in the same wag as a weapon.
You must also choose a target using the R1 button as described in the section headed ‘Locking
Weapons’. Once a target has been locked, press the X button to instruct the wingman to attack.
If no target is selected when the X button is pressed, the wingman will return to your wing. If
the wingman destroys the target, or the target lock is lost, the wingman will return to your
wing.
FLARES
At certain points in the game, you will be required to control a ground team. This is done by
summoning them to a location using Flares. When this is possible, ‘FLARE’ will appear on your
list of weapons; it is selected and fired in the same wag as a weapon.
When you deploy a flare, the ground team will make their wag to that location. However, if the
flare isn't deployed anywhere near the required area, the ground team may well ignore your
instructions.
