Chuck Yeager's Advanced Flight Trainer 2.0

Chuck Yeager's Advanced Flight Trainer 2.0 offers a more serious approach to personal flight simulation, putting the player behind the controls of several aircraft while demanding attention to speed, altitude, navigation, and basic flying technique. The presence of Chuck Yeager gives the package a strong aviation pedigree, and the game tries to teach as well as entertain. Rather than simply pointing the aircraft at the horizon and hoping for the best, players need to understand how the machine behaves and how different maneuvers affect it. The result is more technical than an arcade flight game, although newcomers can still learn through experimentation. Landing safely is particularly satisfying because the alternative is usually an expensive meeting with the runway. For aviation enthusiasts, it provides an engaging glimpse into computer flight simulation from the late 1980s.
