Chuck Yeager's Advanced Flight Simulator

aka: Chuck Yeager's Advanced Flight Trainer, Jōkyū Flight Trainer
Moby ID: 4812

DOS version

State of the art PC flight sim, back then.

The Good
I enjoyed the variety of the aircraft available to fly. You could fly the sopwith camel, fokker triplane, P-51, cessna, SR-71, and some wild 1950s and 1960s x-series jets!

There were a couple of remote 'airports' to land and take off from, so you could practice from other locations than your home airport. You could land anywhere, really.

It was also fun to play the air races game, although I never was able to outfly the computer opponents.

Crashing was even fun. You got a pixellated view of Chuck Yeager telling you what a screw up you were :)

The Bad
The colors were absolutely monotonous, and the ground features for mountains were simple pyramids, cones, and cylinders.

Flight physics were pretty simple.

The jet engine howl got old and you had to turn the volume off.

The Bottom Line
A fun game to hop on the computer and try your hand at several types of aircraft. Easy on a beginner.
