24.3. Firing and Scoring

While flying, you can fire either bombs or bottle rockets (not both at once). The top left corner of the screen shows which one you’ve selected. The controls are:

  • Press the Left Ctrl key to launch a bomb or bottle rocket.

  • Press the Left Alt key to toggle between bombs and bottle rockets,

Scoring details are:

  • Hits closer to the bullseye scores more points.

  • Shots from further away score more points.

  • Targets that are harder to hit score more points.

  • After many hits with scoring points, a target will be destroyed (disappear). When it is destroyed, that adds an extra 10,000 points to your score.

  • Your aircraft and the position of the targets are shown in the Map Overlay ( M ).
