4. Note about Demo Missions
The demo comes with three playable single player missions. The missions "Driving" and "Firing Range" will familiarize yourself with the proper functions of the game and vehicle and will end once all the objectives are met. The third mission (Dog fight) will not end even after you engage and destroy the enemy. This will allow you to drive around the entire map and shoot at any other targets you wish until you manually end the mission.
