For those who have not come across the program, it was a multi user simulation with many planes and airfields which also ran over computers connected via decnet. There was also a toolkit to create your own planes and airfields. http://www.tmk.com/ftp/vms-freeware/decwindows/ Found a copy above. Maybe another use for hecnet.... Mark I should take a look; I've never seen it. I wonder if it's a derivative of the PLATO game "airfight". That was written around 1974, by Brand Fortner at the University of Illinois. Same sort of description: multi user, several airplane types. No user defined airplanes or fields, though. PLATO "airfight" was the inspiration for Microsoft Flight Simulator. I remember it from when I worked at DEC. As far as I know, it was not a derivative of anything else. It was pretty cool, but back when I played with it, all airplanes were just wire frames, as was the world. It ran pretty ok on a uVAX II, though (with GPX). I didn't know it had been released out from DEC. I played it with people over Easynet. Johnny
