 Hack your way through TFX saving you time and putting an end to the 
 frustration of having to replay through missions every time it's your 
 misfortune to die. Read on for how to do this and how to achieve some
 other handy cheats ... 
 
 1. Backing up your pilot 
 ------------------------ 
 There are 10 pilot spaces on the roster board in TFX. If you save a
 pilot on the first space the file is saved under TFXSAV.0. If you save
 your pilot under the second space it's saved under TFXSAV.1 and so on.
 Let's assume that your pilot is saved under TFXSAV.0.
 Copy the TFXSAV.0 file to TFXBAK.0 by typing: 
 copy tfxsav.0 tfxbak.0 
 
 2. Cheating to increase your points 
 ----------------------------------- 
 Go into your C:TFX directory and type the following: 
 copy tfxsav.0 tfxsav.ba1 
 then type: debug tfxsav.0 or any other TFXSAV file. Finally type in
 the following to give yourself a massive 16777215 points: 
 E 0140 00 00 FF FF FF 
 W 
 Q 
 
 3. Increasing your pilot rank 
 ----------------------------- 
 Debug any TFXSAV file and then enter the following codes to become
 a 1st Lieutenant: 
 
 E 013F 01 
 W 
 Q 
 
 Change the 01 on the first line to a higher number for higher rank: 
 02 Captain 
 03 Major 
 04 Lt Colonel 
 05 Colonel 
 06 General 
 
 4. Resurrect yourself if you happen to crash or be captured 
 ----------------------------------------------------------- 
 Debug any of the TFXSAV files and enter these simple but highly
 effective codes: 
 E 01F4 00 
 E 01AB 00 
 W 
 Q 
 
 5. How to bypass the training missions and get on to the Tours of Duty 
 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 
 Do the debug routine - as mentioned countless times before - and enter: 
 E 01AB 00 
 E 01AD 01 
 E 01AF 3E 
 W 
 Q 
 
 6. Skipping through the Tour of Duty and Flaspoint missions 
 ----------------------------------------------------------- 
 Debug TFXSAV.2 (ooh! A different one) then to put yourself in one of 
 the Tour of Duty or Flashpoint missions type in one of the following: 
 E 01AD 10 The F117-A 
 E 01AD 0F The YF 22 
 E 01AD 0E The EFA 
 E 01AD 0A The Drug War 
 E 01AD 0B Defiance in The Desert 
 E 01AD 0C Operation Restore Hope Two 
 E 01AD 0D Bosnia: The Never Ending War
