Tonka ® Construction - September 1996 Release Notes: Macintosh Version 1.0 • Virtual Memory: Tonka Construction will be more responsive if Virtual Memory is turned off. To do this: 1. In your Apple menu, select "Control Panels," then open the "Memory" control panel. 2. In the Virtual Memory section, click the "Off" button to turn off Virtual Memory. 3. You must then Restart your computer for a change in Virtual Memory to take effect. • Conflicts with Extensions: Sometimes incompatible systems extensions or control panels can cause system software problems. Follow the guidelines in your system manuals to troubleshoot possible conflicts. • RAM Doubler Conflict: Play-Doh Creations may not work with Connectix Corporation's RAM Doubler -- we recommend that you turn off RAM Doubler, and use the directions above to turn on Apple's Virtual Memory. • Best results will be achieved if you run Tonka Construction with no other applications running. Tonka Joe's Construction Tips: Be sure to read the manual for a complete description of how to build each area in Tonka Land - but for those truckers eager to get a head start, here are a few hints: General Hints: • The Crane Click the mouse button to pick up objects with the crane, and then put them down again. Remember: the claw of the crane will drop to ground level before picking up or putting down an object, so be sure to position the claw higher than your destination before you click. • Interruptability Look at the cursor to see whether you can interrupt the current speaker or animation: If the cursor is invisible, one mouse click should interrupt the current speaker, and restore the cursor to you. If the cursor is the standard Windows hourglass, clicking will have have no effect. If you are currently driving a vehicle, you will just have to click the mouse button and see! • Decorations After you have completed an area, you will have the opportunity to pick up some decorative objects - some of these (like the phone booth in the desert, or the lady in the castle) will animate if you put them down in the correct spot - these spots will be marked with a downward-pointing arrow. Be sure to look around for these arrows after you pick up an object. Hints about the Activities: • The Quarry To earn your certificate for the Quarry, there are three things that you must do with your Front End Loader: clear out the black and red piles, and dig the back walls until you find gold, then scoop up the gold in your bucket. You will find many other things to do, though: find and dig out the bat cave, clear away the boulders, and dump the load of gold (or any load, for that matter!) into the hopper near the crane (follow the tire tracks for the best approach, but steer clear of the crane - we've seen a few trucks get wedged in there so tight they can't get back out!) With your cursor, you can pick up the objects behind the fence near the shed, but you'll have to lift them up over the fence or slide them out th…

Pittsburgh Sector Version 1.0 For TRACON II Mac � 1993 By Jeffrey Fritz America On Line: ISDN Man AppleLink: WVUISDN Internet: jfritz@wvnvm.wvnet.edu TRACON (Terminal Radar Approach CONtrol) is a simulation from Wesson International. TRACON simulates the pressures and panics that the nation's air traffic controllers undergo as part of their every day work. The TRACON folks are responsible for guiding private and commercial aircraft departures and approaches. They also control low level (up to about 12,000 over-flights). This is a serious and busy business. TRACON II comes with six sectors for Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle, Chicago, Miami and Boston. As if that wasn't enough, I created a sector for the Pittsburgh area. Installation and Getting Started This sector is designed to be used with TRACON II (version 2.0.3). It may work with earlier versions and, then again, it may not. If you already own TRACON II, simply place the PIT.SEC and PIT.SND sectors in the Support Files folder. Start TRACON II and select New Scenario from the File Menu. Then select the pit sector and click on Begin. The Pittsburgh sector will come up on the radar screen. If you don't own TRACON, these files won't help you much. Order TRACON II Mac from Wesson International {(512) 328-0100}. You won't regret it. While you're in the neighborhood, tell Wesson how much you want new Mac simulations. They are primarily a PC developer and need to better appreciate the importance of the Macintosh market. Realism Just how realistic is the Pittsburgh sector? Somewhat. It's based upon real and current (as of February 1993) Sectional Aeronautical Charts from NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration). But therein lies the rub. I live in Morgantown, West Virginia. Morgantown is a half hour plane ride from Pittsburgh (by U.S. Air Commuter). So, naturally I wanted to include Morgantown in the sector. Morgantown happens to be in the Cincinnati section while Pittsburgh is in the Detroit section. Don't ask me why. They had to draw the line somewhere. I suppose the Pennsylvania, West Virginia Boarder was a good as anywhere. I don't know for sure, but I suspect that TRACON facilities usually do not span two different sectors. So to add Morgantown, I took some artistic license. To include Morgantown and still make the radar scope range smaller, I had to center the TRACON radar around the Allegheny fix. I suspect that this is not very accurate. Since I'm not a pilot, I can only assume that the Pittsburgh TRACON actually is located somewhere near the Pittsburgh International Airport, several miles from the Allegheny fix. My last piece of artistic license was to assume certain fixes were used by the TRACON sector. All the fixes are real and their locations are reasonably accurate. I just don't know which are and aren't real TRACON fixes. So What's the Buzz? The file called PIT.SND is a sound file. It allows TRACON II to speak the names of the Pittsburgh area fixes and airports…
