The Worlds FIRST
Native OS/2
Flight Simulator
ported by
Brian Mills
I decided to release this version of my OS/2 port of the
Flights of Fantasy flight simulator because of all of the bickering on the
net about DIVE application performance. It is not a spectacular application,
but it has zero assembly in it, because I'de love to get my hands on OS/2 for
the PowerPC (and a PowerPC box) to check out the performance there.
Because this program uses the OS/2 Warp DIVE interface, it will only work
on a Warp box. I have tested on several types of video cards, and the only one I
have found that this doesn't seem to work on is a Compaq Q-Vision card.
This version doesn't have any sound, or joystick support. The keyboard
is your only control. The controls are as follows:
F9 - Start Engine
PG-UP - Throttle Up
PG-DOWN - Throttle Down
Arrows - Direction control
I am currently in the process of building the design for a more robust
version of this software. I have asked on comp.os.os2.games for suggestions, and
recieved about 30-40 replies. I will gladly take any suggestions as to what
you would like me to include. I am currently leaning toward a stable head-to-head
game with multiple aircraft types, and therefore am not into spectacular graphics, but
I could be swayed.
