CITY
- Walk around the city until you hear a voice. Then, listen.
- Walk towards the voice until you arrive at the building it's coming from.
- Enter the building. Go up three stories. Enter apartment 406.

APARTMENT 406

- Walk towards the plume of smoke until you reach it and find the crashed monorail car.
- Climb the monorail track up to the airlock.

LANDING PLATFORM
- Let go of the railing in order to reach Platform 6.

PLATFORM 6
- Open the M-48's hatch. Go inside.

COCKPIT
- Close the hatch. Sit down. Fasten the seat belt.
- After the M-48 is ejected from Star City, push the jet ignition button.
- When the aircraft stalls, start pushing the joystick forward. Continue pushing it forward until you recover from the stall.
- Pull the joystick back. Keep pulling it back until you have pitched the aircraft up around thirty to forty degrees in order to bleed off your excess speed.
- Once your speed has decreased somewhat, level out the roll of the aircraft as well by pushing the stick left or right as needed.
- To prepare for landing, ensure the aircraft is tilted between 0 and 20 degrees up, has 0 degrees roll, and is moving at less than 150 knots in speed. (Examining the instrument panel will tell you your current condition.) Once you have been in stable flight for three turns, you will skip to the final approach.
- Once the aircraft has landed, take off your seat belt, stand up, open the hatch, and go outside to win the game.
