PLAY CHICKEN WITH AN F-16...

BATTLE TREACHEROUS WEATHER...

CRASH LAND ON WATER...

Welcome to Flight Unlimited II

Enjoy your flight.

It's 6:45 a.m. A mist rises from the sun-streaked tarmac. You hop into the cockpit of the legendary Beaver Seaplane. Ready to battle your worst enemy. Fear. In minutes you're streaking across the skies over San Francisco Bay. Your heart beats like a drum as you swoop under the Golden Gate bridge and around the TransAtlantic tower, barely clearly its peak. Without warning, you're surrounded by dangerous thunderclouds and getting pelted by torrential rains. Air Traffic Control alerts you that bad weather has forced all local airports to close. Your only hope: an emergency landing on an aircraft carrier in the Bay. With the storm passing, you climb back into your Beaver and take off into the cool evening sky. The San Francisco skyline glitters gloriously in the twilight. Half Moon Bay airport, your final destination, is visible in the distance. You radio ATC and are cleared to land. But if you think you've finally conquered the skies, remember: Unlimited challenges lay ahead.

Lesser pilots would stay grounded at night. Flight II lets you experience the hair-raising excitement of night flight.

Follow instructions from Air Traffic Control and take quick, evasive action to avoid fiery mid-air collisions with dozens of commercial airliners filling the sky.

Fly the classic Beechcraft Baron into the beautiful San Francisco sunset or choose from any of the other 4 exciting civilian aircraft.

No other flight sim gives you all these exciting features:

* Take part in 25 adventures including aircraft carrier and water landings

* Choose from five unique aircraft to pilot: Beechcraft Baron, Piper Arrow, de Havilland Beaver, North American P-51D Mustang, and Trainer

* Communicate in real-time with fully interactive Air Traffic Control, including ground, tower and approach controllers

* Fly your plane through hazardous weather conditions that would test even the most experienced pilots

* Share the congested skies with hundreds of commercial airliners ... civilian aircraft ... even jet fighters protecting military airspace
