Hey all... I recall hearing that Jez San was supposed to be doing a flight simulator for Amiga.... but this was a couple of years ago almost... Does anyone know what became of it? Was this the HAWK simulator... or is that a different one? And I see that Chuck Yeagers simulators (original and advanced) never made it to the Amiga either.... What's wrong with this picture? -Mike-

Yep, Jez San's flight sim should be available in a couple of months (now where have I heard that one before), and this is the game that has been called X, Hawk, Aggressor etc. I don't know what the final game will be called though. According to the rumours, you will be able to fly almost all modern warplanes, so this sim could really be something. Per Chr. Odegard perod@ifi.uio.no

He originally wrote it on a PC with lots of add-ons (mostly extra memory) and then had to figure out what to cut out so it would run on an unmodified 1 MByte machine (PC, Amiga or ST). I saw an article in a magazine which said it should be out in September or October this year; believe that if you want. There was a preview of it in a magazine called "Ace" (not the one which mentioned the Sept./Oct. release, by the way). Screen shots indicate that if you select an external view, you can see the missiles which your plane is carrying, and watch them launch. Apparently 40 aircraft are simulated, including oldies such as the F-4, newies such as the F-117 and biggies such as the B-52. There are also Soviet planes, including the Bear bomber. "Keyboard?
