The Pilot Menu
The pilot menu has the following options:
- New Pilot - Select to enter the name of a new
pilot. Options are given to copy settings and copy awards from the
current pilot. If you elect to copy settings, then all of the
video, audio and music settings will
be copied from the current pilot into the new pilot. If you check
the copy awards checkbox, then all of the awards won by the current
pilot will have been won by the new pilot.
- Select Pilot - If there is only one pilot then
this option is greyed. Otherwise, select this option to change the
pilot.
- Awards - Takes you to the Awards Information Screen. First select
which category of award you wish to look at; Skills, Weapons or
Equipment. On the next menu select wether you wish to include all
of the awards in the category, only ones that the current pilot has
won, ones that are still available to win, or ones that you can
only get by swapping with others that you have already won. Details
of the Awards Information Screen are below.
- Delete Pilot - Deletes all of the information
about the current pilot, awards won, missions unlocked etc.
The Awards Information Screen
 The Awards Information Screen allows you to view

Acquired Weapons in this case. Underneath it shows that this is the
'Bomb - General Purpose' award. Click the adjacent Next and
Previous buttons to select other awards in the category. Beneath
the award name are the Description, Details and Mission tabs. The
Description tab gives a brief description of the benefits of the
award. The Details tab gives information about how to use the

missions the award may be won in, and wether it has already been
won.
The buttons underneath the briefing are:
- Help - Shows a short help screen.
- Guide - Starts your default web browser and
links to the online players guide.
