   Installing Avenger Support

        
                To establish Avenger support, simple run the
        batch file AVMECH2.BAT

                ex:     A:> AVMECH2

        This will perform two actions:

                1.  COPY AVENGER.DLL \MECH2\GIDDI

                2.  COPY AVENGER.CPC \MECH2\GIDDI


        You must hit ESC once inside Mech2 and select the 
        Cockit Controls menu item.  Then select Spaceball
        Avenger from the menu.  If you wish, you can also select
        the Mouse, it will work concurrently with the Avenger.
        Please disable FlightStick if it is highlighted in red by
        clicking on it with the mouse.  It may produce undesirable
        results by conflicting with the Avenger.

   Installing for a Custom Path

        If you did not select the default path setting
        when installing MechWarrior, you must provide the path
        you chose when running the batch file.

                ex:     A:> AVMECH2  /GAMES/3D/MECH2

        This will install Avenger support in that directory                   
                

   Controlling the MechWarrior

                
        The following paragraph will assume you are familiar with
        the device, and namely, the six individual axes.


        TX      Turn legs left, right (pull left, push right)

        TY      Jump (pull up - if jump jets available)
        
        TZ      Throttle up, down (C button must be held)

        RX      If D Button not pressed - torso pitch (look up, down)
                If D Button pressed     - pilot pitch 

        RY      If D Button not pressed - torso turn (look left,right)
                If D Button pressed     - pilot turn

        RZ      NOT USED
        

        BUTTON A        Weapon Cycle        
        BUTTON B        Weapon Fire
        BUTTON C        Enable Throttle control (used with TZ)
        BUTTON D        Enable Pilot control (turn pilots head)
        BUTTON E        Toggles Through Targets
        BUTTON F        Nearest Enemy



   Remapping the Avenger Controls


        Unlike most games supported by the Avenger, there is no
        configuration file to allow the user to remap buttons and
        change the feel of the game.  However, you can edit the controls.
        Please refer to the Mech II instructions for remapping input 
        device (Cockpit Controls - Install Guide page 19).

        By default, the Mech unit will recenter itself if no pressure
        is applied to the Avenger.

        You can change this to allow it to maintain its' orientation
        by changing Pitch and Yaw to Turn Left/Turn Right and Look Up/Look
 Down.
        These items are listed under the Buttons menu, since they are
        digital as opposed to analog.  The AVENGER.DLL will set these
        accordingly to motion, and they will generate the same effect
        as a keystroke.  You may find the response is a bit slower, and
        you may need to use one of the Buttons for recentering so you
        don't lose your orientation between the legs and torso turning.
