Flight Sim Toolkit

Ever wanted to make your flight simulator? Well, this program has everything you need.

You can create theatres of operations, model units, etc… There are several games built around this, the better being Tornado Squadron and WW2. Graphics can either be standard VGA or 640x480 SVGA, with sound support for Sound Blaster and compatibles. An aircraft’s characteristics are defined in an included editor, but the flight model is somewhat relaxed. This is a good program if you want to mess around with it, but more serious simmers should look for more flexible programs. Simis planned to release FST2 by the end of 2002, but unfortunately it did not work out. As for now, X-Plane is the best you can get, and you can try it for free. There’s no combat involved, but the flight modelling is top notch and the aircraft design tool is very easy to use. And best of all: the source code has been released into the public domain by copyright holders who are now at Kuju. Download it today from the "download area" of Kuju's official website if you are a programmer who is interested in upgrading this great application to the next level :)
