A realistic driving simulator, but this time your car has wings.
Debug Controls#
MAME supports two known revisions of this game, both dated 1993. The later revision has quite a few debugging features implemented that the earlier version does not.
World State#
Holding down P1 Button 6 while driving will bring up a real-time display of the world state.

Object Viewer#
A 3D object viewer is available by holding down P1 Button 5 in attract mode. It allows you to cycle through all of the polygon meshes in the game and see their internal names. The camera resets its orientation but not its zoom when you switch to another object.
Additionally, depending on where in attract mode you opened the object viewer, colors or polygons in attract mode may be incorrect when you exit the object viewer until it cycles again.
Controls#
- Coin 1/Coin 2: Previous/Next object.
- P2 Start/Coin 3: Zoom out/Zoom in.
- P1 Button 4: Yaws the object automatically in front of the camera.
- P1 Button 2: Pitch
- P1 Button 3: Bank
- P1 Button 6: Moves the object slowly to the right.
Volume Calibration#
The original cabinet featured automatic volume controls, so that the game could adjust itself to be heard in a noisy arcade. There's a calibration feature accessible from attract mode in the later prototype. In attract mode, pressing P1 Button 6 will cause the game to start blaring a sine wave at max volume.
The analog part of the system isn't emulated, so the only way out of this is to reset the game.
