Chocks Away V2

The main criticism levelled at Chocks Away was the slow frame rate. Brilliant playability, but a problem with the speed. Well, 4th Dimension listened to the critics and encouraged the author to speed the whole thing up.

He has succeeded, and Chocks Away V2 is not only faster but has lots of added features including clouds and a more detailed landscape.

You'll see the improvement as soon as you start playing; the game isn't any harder, just brighter and more exciting.

If you bought the older version just return the pilot's manual to 4th Dimension and they'll send you the uprated software. Definitely recommended.
