Flight Path 737

Flight Path 737 has you sitting on the runway in the inevitable 'high performance jet airliner' making your final preparations before take-off.

A few basics to remember here such as pointing your nose in the right direction and putting the flaps down. This accomplished, you can whack up the power to full throttle, scream down the runway and execute a perfect take off into the cloudless sky above - hopefully avoiding the mountains conveniently situated a stone's throw from the departure lounge.

There are six skill levels, ranging from first solo to test pilot. As you progress life is made more difficult by higher mountains, shorter runways, crosswinds, and engine fires. I would say this is more of a game that a so-called serious flight simulator. Poor graphics detract from the feel of reality. Good fun for those with no allusions to the real thing.
