Title: Stopping the High Energy Turn
Post by: Artie on January 29, 2003, 11:24:08 pm

I remember in SFCs 1 and 2 you could stop the High Energy Turn by hitting the "h" button before it completely powered up. I haven't been able to do that in "3" yet.  Do I have a slow finger, bad officers, is it a bug being dealt with in the patch, a feature designed to frustrate indecisive players, do i need to put more thought when using the HET? I looked in the Manual, I think i have the only un-lost copy(clownhatwinkyeyesmileyface) and it makes no mention of being able to stop it once it is started.

Does anybody really give a [deleted by nannerslug] ?

I know it is goofy isnt it not being able to cancel a HET maneuver in SFC3 like in SFC1 and SFC2.

What if you just fly straight & level? Does it still perform the HET?

Only way I know of to stop it is to fly straight/level or hit "steady as she goes" before the turn executes, but you aren't really stopping it since your chance to do an HET will still drop immediately after the HET sound effect occurs.  Don't know whether this is intentional for SFC3 or if it will be addressed in the patch.
