Description: With the Flight Simulation program you must land your airplane successfully on the runway without crashing. Sitting in the cockpit, your control panel shows your speed, altitude, fuel and power. The top of your screen is your viewing window for the landing.
The player is given the option of flying just the final approach. Another option is wind effects. If the player chooses to have wind effect, a wind speed is given which makes landing even more difficult.
Evaluation: Flight Simulation is an interesting use of the T/S1000/ZX81. This is not a standard game where the player receives a score and has three lives to play. This involves no shooting at enemy aircraft. The player wins by not crashing.
In playing this game, I learned that I should never try flying a real airplane. I crashed every time. Each time I crashed, a message was printed, such as: “You crashed into the ground at a speed of 187 knots.”
Flight Simulation is definitely recommended to all amateur pilots. It requires a 16K memory and is distributed by Psion Ltd.
