Flight Simulator Flight Shop

Flight Simulator Flight Shop is an add-on product for Microsoft Flight Simulator 5.x. The flight simulator must have been installed before installation of this product can proceed. Though the flight simulator is used in DOS this product requires Windows 3.x or Windows 95.

There are two parts to this product, the Aircraft Factory and the ATC Workshop.

• The Aircraft Factory: The name is fairly self explanatory, here the player can create their own aircraft from scratch designing each component and linking them together to make an aircraft. It comes with a default aircraft the North American T6-Texan which can be built, painted, modified and exported into the flight simulator for use.

The menu has been designed to look like the map of an aircraft factory with separate functions for parts, components, structures, assembly and paint shop. There in-game are tutorials to guide the player through the lengthy process of creating an aircraft.

• The ATC Workshop - This allows the player to create their own air traffic controlled adventures, flights from one place to another, with APL - the Adventure Programming Language.

The installation process of this product will upgrade Microsoft Flight Simulator 5.0 to version 5.0A as well as bringing in other changes such as new instrument panels for prop and jet planes allowing up to four engines and a MACH number on the airspeed indicator. Installation also adds two options to the Flight Simulator's drop-down Options menu:

• Design Aircraft - which allows the player to edit the flight dynamics of aircraft they create
• Adventure Factory - which lists the flights the player creates
