Nightflight (Salamander)

Nightflight, you will be amazed to hear is a flight simulation program. The game was a slight disappointment, not the fault of the instructions as they are well written and detailed but I never got the plane off the ground without crashing.

The game screen is divided into two sections, the lower half shows the information panel with speed, position, heading and distance from the runway. The top half of the screen shows the view from the cockpit. The graphics used are not in high-res mode because of the use of text.

For a budding pilot taking off, flying around and performing a couple of stunts in the middle of the night will be easy. Having seen other flight simulators this one is not the best of the bunch.
