Cheat mode:
Save a game under the name BRICK#MODE. Load this game, start a mission, and press LS + RS while on the carrier. The Harrier will be invincible in this mode, and can be flown anywhere. The only item on the aircraft that can be damaged is the HUD, which may disappear. Additionally, the cheat allows a total of 255 Harriers to be available for multiple ejections.

Hint: Taking off:
Always let your wingman take off first in order to avoid a collision. It is best to be at zero throttle when starting on the carrier deck. Turn off the wheel brakes, then hit full throttle. After pulling up from the flight deck, reduce drag by retracting the landing gear.
