You can easily import scenarios from Flight Simulator 5 and 6 (Flight Simulator 95), as well as download new airplanes and scenarios from the Internet.

The extensive help system is windows based. These windows overlay the flight sim menus and at some resolutions the flight sim menus can be seen around the edges

The player can access the aircraft selection menu from within a flight via a drop down menu. The currently selected aircraft shows in the small window.

At night time the stars come out and the red cabin lights come on. This screen shot shows a sub menu that is accessed via the left mouse button.

Choosing 'Select A Flight' from the main menu brings up another menu with three categories; Challenges, Flights and Adventures. The menus overlay each other and don't always hide each other

This is the Cessna Skylane 182S flying the New York Movies challenge flight.

It is possible to zoom in on the plane even closer than this but the results are unrecognisable

The Bell 206B Jetranger III

It is possible to start a flight and then change the current location to anywhere else in the world. Here a flight from Megis Field is being relocated to Queen Alia International airport in Jordan

The Cessna Skylane 182R RG on the runway in Jordan

The default view is the cockpit view but this can be changed via a drop down menu option.

The Extra 300S in flight

The Schweizer 2-32 Sailplane coming in to land in a car park near the Los Angeles Coliseum. One of the challenges is to land on the playing field and this plane didn't quite make it

A close up of the Sopwith Camel in flight

It is possible to configure the flight simulator to accept a new controller during the course of a flight. This is accessed by selecting Options on the drop down menu

Using separate windows for every player choice does mean they can stack up and this looks untidy.

All keyboard assignments can be adjusted to suit the player. This too can be accomplished in-flight
