2-7 Flight Control Stick Operation  

 

 

While the game is in progress, the flight control stick (right controller) will operate the 

direction that the simulator will move.  Moving the controller to the right will cause a roll to the 
right.  Moving the controller to the left will cause a roll to the left.  To pitch the unit up, pull the 
controller back and to pitch the unit down, push the controller down. 

 

 

 

NOTE

:

  

There are two joysticks and two throttles on this ride.  Either one will start as the “PILOT”.  

The other joystick starts the ride as the “GUNNER”.  These functions can be switched by pressing 
the TOP GREEN BUTTON on center top front of console.  It can also be changed back again by 
pressing the button once more.
