Oh yes... it was Windows. 🤣 "Beach Jet niner lima golf, clear to land runway 34 left, advise you monitor ATIS." It was Looking Glass. Its all coming back now. They did "Thief" too. Great game. Flight of The Intruder was definitely the Commodore, though. 😸 You were rude regarding my memory failure, though. So one cat point taken away from you, my boy.

A year later, I got a Commodore 64 and bought Sublogic's Flight Simulator II. I used this for a couple years then got out of computers for about 10 years until I got a real PC from Digital and bought FS95, which amazed me compared to the old FSII.

I spent far too many hours last year working Atlanta as all my old techniques came flooding back, pesky Air France Concordes ! I'll have to look into that. Way back then, I spent most of my time at Denver (the lowest level). I wanted to really perfect my technique 🤣
