Playing the game
Now that you have looked over the control for the game, let's take a look at the game screen you will be looking at while playing the game.
(insert screenshot with GPS here)
GPS
To bring up the GPS, you can first hit the space bar to bring up the mouse cursor, then click on the GPS icon at the upper left side of the screen, or you can toggle the GPS up and down with the "G" key.
The GPS has several modes that can be changed by clicking on the Mode button. Each mode will offer different information about the player, and the animals being hunted. Note that some GPS modes will not be available at the higher difficulty levels. Read below to get more information about the modes available on the GPS and how they function.
Information
Compass: This compass moves with you, and always shows you exactly which direction you are facing. the red line at the top of the compass is you, so if the red line is on the E you are facing east.
Time: this shows you the exact time on this hunting day. Keep an eye on this time, because all hunting days end at 6pm, and you don't want to be tracking an animal when the hunt ends.
Temperature: this will show you the current temperature in this hunt.
Wind direction: This is a text version of the wind direction. you may also view the wind direction on the compass by looking at the blue (Wind Direction) triangle around the outside of the compass. This Wind direction Triangle will show you where the wind is coming from in relation to the direction you are facing. If you are heading east, and the wind Direction Triangle is over the E then you are headed directly into the wind. If however, the Wind Direction triangle is on the W then you are moving with the wind, and most likely letting every animal for several hundred yards know you are coming.
Coordinates: The coordinates in Field & Stream Trophy Hunting 5 are there to help you navigate our hunting areas and do not correspond to anything in real life. Your map location is displayed on the GPS, in the center of the compass.
Game: This will show you the species of the animal being hunted in the game.
Game Finder
When playing the game at the easy or medium setting, the GPS can also be set up to provide you with an Animal Finder. The Game Finder is a very useful tool that is built into the GPS unit in the game. It can be brought up by hitting the "F" key while the GPS unit is active on the screen. Once the Game Finder unit is activated, the hunter will show up as a blue dot in the center of the grid, with animals showing up as colored dots around the hunter. The "easy" setting allows unlimited use of the Game Finder, whereas in "Medium" you have only three uses before the Game Finder is disabled. there is no Game Finder in the "Hard" setting. The Game Finder can be cycled to different species by using the comma (,) and dot (.) keys.
