LAID BACK The first flight simulation for the Amstrad comes from Myrddin software complete with mercifully brief manual and relatively few controls to remember. The box describes it as having moving 3D graphics; this is true only in the Battlezone sense of continuously updated perspective drawn lines. But in truth, the view out of the cockpit is far from impressive.  
Whilst not tremendously bad, there isn't much to recommend this one apart from the relative simplicity of the controls which means basic manouvres are quickly learnt.
The screen updating only happens around once a second which hardly makes for a flexible response. Sound is similarly unimpressive being more like laid back crickets than throbbing motor(s).
If you're desperate for a flight simulation on your new Amstrad, this one might do, but given the possibilities of the machine I'd expect to see something a lot more impressive in the next few months and if I were you I'd wait for that. Popular Computing Weekly 85-02-28
