|
|
A NEW CONCEPT IN FLIGHT SIMULATORS
|
|
|
|
|
|
Coming soon from: The Meat Possum Software Group.
|
|
|
|
The passenger simulator!
|
|
|
|
Tired of stressful ATP or FS4? sick of nagging ATC?
|
|
Take the (seat) controls of a 747,767,707,737,727,A320, hey they're much the
|
|
same when you are sitting down in cattle class worrying whether your pilot has
|
|
a drinking problem, or if the Iranian student sitting next to you is going
|
|
to start screaming incomprehensible political slogans at any moment.
|
|
|
|
*****New Features*******
|
|
o SVGA drivers
|
|
o Windows support (only joking!)
|
|
o A true to detail 'seat back' display.(YOU choose the
|
|
non-flame-retardant covering)
|
|
o 'one click' action to lower the tray table
|
|
o Random diversions to any airport not of your choice
|
|
o Inflight entertainment soundblaster support (sometimes it works,
|
|
sometimes it doesn't, how's that for realism!)
|
|
|
|
The simulation even includes a random selection of inflight magazines, all
|
|
with the crosswords completed, and containing the usual mind-numbing
|
|
boring crap. (just use the click'n'drag mouse o' matic)
|
|
|
|
|
|
You have control!
|
|
click on the attendant call button... and.... NOTHING HAPPENS!!!!!
|
|
|
|
WOW!! realism like this would normally be found only in fully configured
|
|
ATP sims.
|
|
Software comes complete with seating allocation cards, invalid visas, out
|
|
of date departure tax stamps, and sick bags.
|
|
Fly realtime across the US, experience real turbulence, actually throwup!
|
|
And at all times the flight characteristics of the set back in front of you
|
|
are faithfully reproduced (even down to that little brat kicking the seat,
|
|
who's parents are tanked on scotch & dries and don't give a rats about
|
|
what their swinish issue are up to).
|
|
|
|
*** Includes special mystery 'oxygen mask drops'! were you watching the
|
|
safety briefing???? remember, you WILL be scored on your survival in
|
|
an emergency.
|
|
Null modem hookups allow SIMULTANEOUS flights, with realtime communication
|
|
with your fellow passengers.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Add ons: o Aeroflot mystery flights
|
|
o Qantas 'football team in your section' tours
|
|
o Special Toilet & Restroom scenery designer
|
|
o AdLib soundcard driver support, 4 disks of
|
|
monotonous droning noises, interspersed with
|
|
the toilet flushing every 20 mins.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Order yours TODAY, discounts for 30 day advance purchase
|
|
APEX orders, no money back in case of cancellation, no
|
|
money back if you are dissatisfied, special conditions
|
|
apply, no loud talk from the customer, sit down, shut up,
|
|
drink your drink, and watch that crappy second run
|
|
Hungarian movie about goatherds (with subtitles you can't
|
|
quite see because the seat back (tm) is too high.)
|
