JUST FLIGHT IS NOMINATED FOR A BAFTA

 Just Flight is pleased to announce that that C-130 Hercules, the innovative expansion for Flight Simulator, has been nominated for a BAFTA award.

Just Flight is pitted against some very respectable competition from more traditional games titles, and this is the first time that an aircraft expansion program has achieved such dizzy heights. Commenting on the award, Just Flight's Managing Director, Andy Payne said: "This is fantastic news for Just Flight, the development team at Captain Sim and for the entire flight simulation community. We've been unfairly regarded as a niche market for far too long, but this nomination has demonstrated that we can swim in the same pond as some very big fish. We're hoping that the superb quality and accuracy of C-130 Hercules will impress the judges. This title was good enough to gain official licences from The Royal Air Force (who fly the Hercules) and Lockheed-Martin (who make them), so we're hoping for a similar thumbs up from BAFTA."
