**** XWING2 program for Thrustmaster WCS2 ****  2/19/94 **** Dave Read ****

I got tired of the sluggish throttle response and that incessant keyboard
*DING* while using the XWING.ADV program supplied with the WCS2, so I made
my own that uses the GAME 2 type throttle control. While I was at it, I changed
some of the other functions as well. I like it a lot!

FCS
The 'Hat' functions the same way as with the original file, selecting various
cockpit views. The Top Button selects the nearest threat as the target, the
Middle Button selects the target in the crosshairs, and the Lower Button
toggles the instrument display off and on. These functions remain the same,
regardless of the WCS Rocker Switch position.

WCS
The six buttons have functions that vary with each position of the Rocker
Switch. I divided the buttons into two groups of three. When the Rocker
Switch is Up, Button 1 selects the Weapon type, Button 2 toggles between
Target and ID Mode, and Button 3 cycles forward through all available targets.

With the Rocker Switch in the Middle position, Buttons 1,2 & 3 store the
currently selected target into Memory. When the Rocker Switch is Down, Buttons
1,2 & 3 recall the stored targets from Memory.

I've designated Button 4 as the 'ATTACK' button. With the Rocker Switch Up, it
adjusts Laser Energy. With the Rocker Switch in the Middle, it transfers Energy
from the Shields to the Lasers. With the Rocker Switch Down, it sends the
command 'Wingman, Attack'.

Similarly, I've designated Button 5 as the 'DEFEND' button. When the Rocker
Switch is Up, it adjusts Shield Energy. With the Rocker Switch in the Middle,
it transfers Energy from the Lasers to the Shields. With the Rocker Switch
Down, it sends the command, 'Wingman, Cover Me'.

Button 6 handles miscellaneous functions. When the Rocker Switch is Up, it 
cycles through the weapon linked-fire options. When the Rocker Switch is in
the Middle, it balances the Shields to equal strength, front and rear. With the
Rocker Switch down, it sends tye command 'Go Home'.
