Game Play
Game uses higher resolution graphics for realistic events. As each stage player advances, the difficulty gets higher and higher, most noticeably the strength of the wind. The sound system is all based on samples from the cockpit and its radio to the tower. In between stages, elevator music is played as it shows how to land. When the plane crashes, the game is over. The full simulator the one with the extra monitor in the back rolls left and right based on the strength of the wind and the effects of directing an airplane. Both monitors require medium resolution compatibility as the game uses double the resolution any game typically uses 512x400 vs. 256x200. Supposedly the inside used a 25" while the spectators monitor used 19".
