Every difficulty uses the same keys; only the assists change.
Graphics
Auto starts from a guess for this device and steps down if frames run long.
Bloom glow
Shows just speed, height, heading and your weapons, so more of the view is clear. Off brings back the speed and height tapes, the big attitude ball and the map key.
Audio
The speaker button in the corner mutes everything.
Red Tide hunt
Port Sai free flight only. Shoot up their turf and the Red Tide gang comes after you; shake them off to get paid, or land at the Town pad for police cover. Off means no hunt and no stars. Takes effect on your next flight.
Controls
The gun fires itself in short bursts while a hostile is under the aim pip, in range and in the clear, and never at civilians, police or friends. The GUN button still fires by hand. On for Easy and Medium, off for Hard, until you switch it here.
Keys
Advanced flight
