About this game

Flight Simulator II is a vehicle simulation from SubLOGIC focused on the operation of a real aircraft. The simulation includes variables of flight and avionics, with an easy mode for newcomers and a more detailed reality mode for players with greater aviation knowledge.

The simulated aircraft varies by release. The Atari ST and Amiga versions feature the Cessna 182RG and Gates Learjet 25G, while other versions simulate the Piper PA-28-181 Archer II. The game emphasizes careful attention to operational details and was designed with pilots-in-training in mind.

The package also includes WWI Ace, a World War I dogfighting game featuring bombs, machine guns, and a radar display intended to make play easier.
