There used to be a simulator called "UFO" where your goal was to fly near a city and wirelessly draw on the city's electricity to power your craft. The interface and accomnying maps were so somilar to early versions of Flight Simulator they may have had common code. At the time versions of Flight Simulator for some other computers were published by a company other than Microsoft. I gather the "UFO" program AND early versions Flight Simulator were developed by a third company that was later purchased by Microsoft and relocated to Redmond.

Never heard of this

I found the Manual. The 80 page manual indicates copyright 1989 SubLogic Corporation with Bruce Artwick included in Program Design, Program Development,UFO & Mothership Design, Instrument Panel Design and Documentation credits. System requirements are XT compatable with 512 KB RAM, 5 1/4 floppy drive, MSDOS version 2 or later. Designed for standard CGA, EGA or Hercules monochrome graphics modes.

Bruce when at Sublogic indeed created what now is MS Flight Simulator.

Ok, if anyone is curious about these reported phenomenon I stumbled across this place tonight and this document: http://www.computermakerij.com/ufo/howtobu...lyingsaucer.pdfhttp://www.computermakerij.com/ufoMaybe the specs will allow them to be built for flight simulator! :-lol Carmine http://ftp.avsim.com/dcforum/Images/wave.gif
