FlightSoft's President & CEO says, " This release was particularly challenging in that it was a massive effort that involved a number of development teams. This is a massive release. The list of features is almost endless. FlightSoft's Development Groups have produced a truly stunning title just in time for the Christmas Season. Customers have waited for this title for almost a year. The enormous anticipation level for this title has been a test of patience for many of our fans. Fly to Hawaii 2004 has successfully come thru the production cycle and is now released to retail stores and individual customers."
FLY TO HAWAII 2004 boasts the most complicated and sophisticated visual model of the DC10 Jetliner released to the public todate. You'll be flying a DC10 Jetliner that has all the visual characteristics you expect in state of the art jetliners. Plus a DC10 Cockpit that is fabulous and those aircraft sounds will bring you back to that `classic' era with the wind at your back and the blue sky straight ahead.
The DC10 Flight Office sports that `ole classic' look of the 70's. You can visibly see some wearing on the knobs and the background panel ... the `very worn' parts and the `old look' of this panel puts it in the 1970's. This is just one of the panel features that give it its `authentic' look and feel from the period of the `classic three holers.'
The Flight Office sports a GPS System for a modern onboard navigation system in addition to the `classic' INS (Inertial Navigation System) navigation system of the 1970's. You'll find this feature particularly effective as you immerse yourself in over 170 Flight Plans that have been designed for use with either the `classic' INS Navigation System of the 70's or the modern GPS system of our times. This title is also the only DC10 Jetliner package in the FlightSoft series that will instruct you on use of the INS Navigation System with a detailed example on how to load the waypoints in the INS Computer and prepare it for use on long haul flights to Hawaii, the Caribbean, locations in Europe, North America, Latin America and South America, South East Asia or even the Congo and other exotic African locations.
You'll be challenged in your PC Pilotage skills as you navigate the onboard navigation systems and fly not only to Hawaii and its island paradises but also to some of the most intriguing locales in the world including Timbuktu and Katmandu.
But don't take our word for it just go to your favorite retailer and purchase your copy of FLY TO HAWAII 2004 and see what all the buzz is all about. Take a close look at the panel graphics and imagine operating the controls of a massive DC10 Jetliner. Imagine you're performing a short field takeoff and will have to operate a lower fuel intake and reduce the weight of the aircraft in order to get traction during the takeoff roll and get this massive jetliner airborne before the end of the runway.
What about those exotic airports in Africa? Nairobi, Uganda, Ghana, exotic Namibia and its mysterious Windhoek Intl Airport, or the strange sand dunes of Khartoum, the hot and sticky Sudan and then fly to the Seycheles Islands and island of Mauritius for a refreshing cool breeze away from the hot scorching African sun.
Casablanca beckons you and those `ole Bogart' movies provide the backdrop or simply fly to Tangiers and visit the Bazaar for a cup of tea with lemon. These are the type of locations that movies are made of and don't think for a moment that Fly to Hawaii 2004 is only about Hawaii.
