The game made new set 1982, as first "serious" game for Spectrum. The test of time survived quite well, forcing other companies to produce many similar simulators. In "Flight simulation" you drive one light airplane with ellise drive, acrobation capable if you are good navigator, particularry on the wind. The big map under you can fly contains such details as lakes. Although the graphics today looks obsolete, the pleasure driving the airplane, at least on computer, is so big that humans always return to this game.

This very old flight simulator is still the best ever produced for the Spectrum due to its clean graphics and its simple and straight controls. In addition to the various training options, it's possible to carry out a real mission where we must destroy all the enemy airplanes that try to shoot us down. To repair the damages and for refuelling it's necessary to land at the nearest base. The possibility to view the area map and the radio-beacons for the orientation is very useful.

Helicopter simulator with all the best qualities of the old Fighter Pilot of the same productors. The graphics maintain their simple polishness and the manoeuvrability remains exceptional but the big news with respect to its forerunner is the presence of a huge number of vectorial wireframe items visible in the scenery like mountains and tanks. The fighting this time is against enemy helicopters. The rich options menu allows night flight and weather control. The usual map allows a better knowledge of the operations zone.
