NAME

       SearchAndRescue - Air rescue flight simulator

SYNTAX

       SearchAndRescue [options] [GUI_options]

DESCRIPTION

       Helicopter  based  search and rescue flight simulator.  Pilot a variety of user editable rescue aircraft through customizeable missions and
       rescue victims in distress.  Uses OpenGL and glX for graphics, and for sound Ylib (deprecated as obsolete), SDL	and  SDL_Mixer	(optional)
       and libjsw for joystick support (not available on all platforms).

OPTIONS

       --config <file>
	      Load configuration from <file>.

       --rcfile
	      Same as --config.

       -f     Same as --config.

       --control <type>
	      Specify which controller to use at start up.  <type> can be keyboard (default) or joystick.

       -c     Same as --control.

       --hardware_rendering
	      Use direct hardware rendering (default).

       --software_rendering
	      Use software rendering instead of direct hardware rendering.

       --full_menu_redraw
	      Always perform full (not partial) menu redraws (slow but required for certain accelerated video cards).

       --display <address>
	      Specifies display address (UNIX/X version only).

       --font <name>
	      Specifies the default font to use on GUI related outputs. Refer to your GUI manual for the proper font name formats.

       --geometry <WxH+X+Y>
	      Specifies the geometry of the toplevel window, example "--geometry 640x480+100+120" to make the window 640 by 480 pixels in size and
	      at coordinate position 100,120 (relative to the root window/desktop).

       --fullscreen
	      Specifies to switch to full screen on startup, use this if and only if your GUI does not support manual switching  to  full  screen.
	      You may need to specify the --geometry argument to specify the size of the full screen resolution.

       --aspect_offset <coeff>
	      Specifies  a floating coefficient value to be applied to screen aspect calculations, example a value of -0.2 when your screen is 800
	      by 600 then the aspect would be 800/600 + (-0.2) = 1.333 - 0.2 = 1.133.

       --recorder <address>
	      Specifies recorder address (UNIX/Y version only).

       --nosound
	      Do not connect to sound server at startup (overrides the value set in the configuration).

       --nomenubg
	      No menu background images (speeds up the redrawing when in the menus).

       --console_quiet
	      Do not print routine messages to stdout.

       --runtime_debug
	      Print debugging runtime detection of various resources to stdout. This may help detect points of failure or crash during startup	or
	      exiting.

       --internal_debug
	      Print debugging of internal runtime information (messy and terse) to stdout. This will only print debugging information about inter-
	      nal resources belonging to the program.

       --help Prints (this) help screen and exits.

       --version
	      Prints version information and exits.
