Nostalgic Software has released Version 1.0 of Flyghty for Macs. The simple 2D flight simulator has evolved to include both land and ocean environments with a choice of Civilian and Military options. The sim allows players to practice a variety of maneuvers including take offs, cruising, loops, and dogfights with enemy planes.

Use the Civilian options to practice takeoffs, landings, cruising, inversion, loops, stalls, dives, head/tail winds, up/down drafts, and fog. Also, various failures like engine-out or stuck-elevator can be challenging.

The Military options include an aircraft carrier, battleships, and machine-gun dogfights with enemy planes. Only the tough survive and score well.

Control is via keyboard, mouse, track pad and (soon) joystick. Choose between native versions for Intel Macs or PowerPC Macs.
