"Closing on primary target" -- Primary target ahead, wingman beginning bomb run.

"I'm already committed!"  -- Wingman has started attack run and cannot break off.  Only heard if pressing (Shift + E) after granting permission to attack.

"I'm not engaged!" -- Wingman is not engaged in attack.  Only heard if (Shift + Q) is pressed with no target designated.

"I'm hit! I'm hit!" -- Wingman has been hit, almost always followed by the "Ejecting!" command.  This wingman is out of the fight (obviously!).  If no communication has been heard from any one of your wingmen for some time after an engagement, assume the worst has happened and press on.  Chances are he either punched out or was hit and killed.

"Music on!" --  Wingman has turned on ECM pod.

"PULL UP! PULL UP! PULL UP!" (voice message system (Bitchin'
Betty)) -- You are in immediate danger of becoming a powered lawn dart (they're not even sold any more!!).  If you do not take immediate action such as pulling back on the stick you're a goner.  In addition, a converging arrow cue is visible. getting closer as you get on a first-name basis with the gophers! It will shut off only if you take the appropriate action.

"CAUTION!-CAUTION!" (Bitchin' Betty) -- Activates only when the
Master Caution indicator lights up on the glareshield.  It only turns off if you go to the right interior view, where the warning/caution panel is located so you can see the item that caused the light to go on in the first place.  If ALL the lights are lit up, you better hope your ACES II seat works!!

"WARNING!-WARNING! (pause) WARNING!-WARNING!" (Bitchin' Betty) --
Indicates a major systems failure has occurred in your aircraft, such as an engine failure, or an enemy missile has lodged up your tailpipe.  Nine times out of ten you might survive, otherwise it'll be a quick and dirty end for you.

"Be advised -- enemy ECM activity detected." -- AWACS has detected enemy aircraft with ECM transmitters operating.  Who said shooting down a MiG was going to be a cakewalk?

"Copy bracket (left or right)" --  Wingman executing a bracket maneuver.

"Copy drag (left or right) -- nail him!" -- Wingman executing a drag maneuver.

"Dumping air-to-ground stores!" -- Wingman jettisoning bombs and/or air-to-ground missiles to lighten his load, usually because an enemy fighter has jumped him.  No air-to-air ordnance is jettisoned, however.

"Breaking (high, low, left, right)" -- Wingman executing break maneuver.

"Rolling out" -- Wingman rolling straight and level.

"Copy. Kicking out"  -- Wingman spreading out formation.

"Copy. Closing it up" -- Wingman closing up formation.

"Copy. Returning to base" -- Wingman returning to base.  This is the last you'll hear from them as they bug out for home when you tell them.

"Harpoon away!" -- Wingman has launched an AGM-84A Harpoon anti- ship missile (heard only in the Kurile Islands theatre).

"Closing on ship target" -- Wingman has acquired a ship target and is closing in for the kill (heard only in the Kurile Islands theatre).

"You are violating rules of engagement!" -- From AWACS in the
Kuriles only. Isn't it obvious?   See you at the General Court
Martial when -- and if -- you return!

"Be advised, increased enemy air activity!" -- From AWACS in the
Kuriles only.  See what your ROE violation just did? Now you have a load of pissed-off Russkies going after us!

"Permission given to destroy enemy aircraft!" -- From AWACS in the Kuriles only.  You heard 'em, now kick some Russian ass!
This doesn't mean you are authorized to blast away every Russkie on the ground.

"You're on your own..."  Your Whiskey Delta (Weak Dick -- the worst insult you can call a fighter pilot) wingman just bugged out on you, it's time to try out some John Wayne fighter tactics against the Russian fighter squadron closing in at your twelve o'clock...

"One Russian bugging out..."
"There goes one fine Russian pilot -- Nyet!"
"No cojones on that Russian!" -- Your wingman has been able to persuade that pesky Fulcrum, Flanker (or whatever the Russkies just sent you) to go back to the Motherland and fight another day.

"Smoked a bogie!"
"Nailed him!"
"Alpha Mike Foxtrot!" (Adios Mother Fucker)
"Yo -- your fries are done!"
"Scratch one, down in flames!
"Watch the canopy when you punch out, jack!"
"Time to feed the worms, bud!"  -- Miscellaneous kill calls from your wingman.

"Paint us like Thunderbirds first, sir!" -- Smartass remark from your wingman when you close up the formation too much.

"Negative -- maintianing visual contact." -- You've spread out the formation too far.

"Do svidaniya, stupid American!" --  From the Russian TU-22.  Now you've really pissed 'em off! And just to get even he just launched a UMF(Unmanned Fighter) at you!


7.6 FALCON AND SCSI PROBLEMS

I've heard a lot about Falcon not running with Adapted SCSI adapters, and the only answer I could think of is that Adaptec is by default set on 330h, which is where Falcon looks for the
Roland MT-32/LAPC-1 synthesizer. My suggestion is to change the address for the Adaptec card and see what happens. I've suggested this to a *lot* of people, but they never emailed me back telling me if it worked or not.


7.7 OS/2 AND FALCON

I really don't know what to put in here since I don't have any experience with OS/2. So if anyone has any contributions, email me.


8.0 THANKS (in no particular order)

Gabe Turk, Tom Basham, Tom Neff, Rob (opus@ihlpf.att.com), Joel
