Hi,

  I own both Falcon and Chuck Yeager's AFT.  I agree with your sentiment
(which I deleted above) that Falcon is too complicated.  It also doesn't run
on non-Apple color cards, which lets me out now that I have a IIx with
SuperMac's Colorcard/24 (which I dearly love, BTW).

  I'm afraid that Chuck's may be out for you too, at least on the IIci.  AFT
does not run under Color QuickDraw (at least not the RAM version...), so you
have to drag it elsewhere and reboot.  This is not possible on the 'ci, since
it's in ROM.  Too bad, too, since I think AFT is one of the best I've tried
(and I've flown WWII airplanes; it does a decent (not great) job with the
Mustang).  Electronic Arts told me that they don't have an upgrade to AFT 1.0,
which is too bad, since it has some other bugs, too, although none are major
(color glitches mostly).

  I've not tried P-51 Mustang.  I'd like to hear from anyone who has,
especialy on a MacII with a non-Apple video board.

  I thing MS Flight Simulator dies on a II-series, but I'm not sure of that at
all.  Never tried JET.
