for flight coordinates, height, direction, clouds, wind.). This mode can be entered into the editor menu, same as 35 other parameters (e.g. In order to be able to move faster and easier in the scenery, the FS2 contains a "SLEW" mode, in which the current coordinates are displayed at the top of the screen.

In the folllowing years a series of subLOGIC Scenery Disks was released that did not only contain the whole of USA (without Alaska), but also parts of Europe and Japan. Contained are 80 airports, with ATIS and a series of runways with ILS as well as a list of beacon frequences (VOR, NDB) and the coordinates of some sights. The standard scenery does cover the whole of USA (without Alaska and Hawaii), but only 4 areas with data: Chicago, Seattle, Los Angeles and New York/Boston. The simulated world contains day and night, two layers of clouds and four wind levels. A "radar" mode makes it possible to recognize the plane's position in the surrounding. There are nine views available: next to forward, backward, right and left these are also the diagonals (e.g. It contains lakes, mountains, streets, some (few) buildings and of course landing runways.
Through his window, the pilot looks onto a quasi 3D landscape, in which he can move freely with his plane. Optionally you can also plug in one to two joysticks, the one in port1 to control the plane, the one on port 2 to accelerate or brake. All commands can either be entered with a single press on the button or with CONTROL + key. The reliability of the plane can also be set.įor operation you use the keyboard. For navigation you have several radios available with which beacons can be located. It simulates the Piper PA-28-181 Archer II (a single-engined, 148 mph fast machine without retractable landing gear) and is equipped with all essential instruments, so that also an IFR is possible. The FS2 is more than a game, it offers many characteristics of a real flight simulation.

Enclosed was a 90-page manual "Pilot's Operating Handbook and Airplane Flight Manual", a 92-page book about aeronautics, four flight maps and a double-sided "Quick Reference" map. There was a version on tape and one on disk. The "Flight Simulator II" (FS2) for the Commodore 64 was released by the company subLOGIC in 1984, one year after the first version for the Apple II, in which the graphics were practically the same except for some slight differences.
